I know its a bit lame, but the USA referees at the World Cup are keeping a blog of their experiences, and its quite interesting in a way. The photo section is quite interesting as well. http://uswcrefs.carealternative.com/Pages/dayinthelife.htm Fairly good if you're into the whole behind-the-scenes thing.

Why is David Pleat talking about rubbing groins?!

I wouldn't get too excited, I expet the reply will be 'How do you know that I don't know they don't know who the terrorists are'.

Anyone can edit it, but the sheer number of people doing so usually means that any errors are rectified pretty quickly. It has strict policies on what can and can't be put in as well.

UKTV is a company owned by both ITV, BBC and Reuters I think.

But, our Graham is refereeing! Everyone cheer him on

I love the banter he has with Motty when he is revealing one of his statistics. Motty gets so excited and you can tell Lawro just doesn't give a fuck.

Yep, if you get two yellow cards in the group stage you get a one match ban. The bans are carried forward to the knockour stages but the cards are not.

The referee is from Egypt, who have played in twice as many World Cups as Australia.

And the men have been released without charge!

Gerrin there, Holland.

Count me in.

To quote Hans Moleman off the Simpsons: 'Oh no. It's happening again'

Don't forget the song!

Did anyone watch what Ch5 put on instead of the cricket today? Was 'The 20-20 World Cup' apparently, didn't have a clue what was going on! Didn't recognise any of the players from either side, and the umpires wore pink shirts and pink trousers! South Africa beat Bermuda in the final :shock:

I love study leave! Scheduled it all, and the only games I'll miss are some of the 2pm ones where I have afternoon exams. Result!

Was an amazing game I have to say though. Great to watch.

'Daniel sweetest guy in the world,soft and gentle but good in bed! hes a keeper!!!!!!' Who am I to argue?

Can any of the techies produce a quick comp query for how many times the word 'do-gooder' has appared in this thread? Must be in triple figures now!

My lawyers have been contacted.

GF at his pretentious best.

I would have even less respect for the current adminstration if they pulled out of Iraq now. To go into someone's country, totally fuck it up, leave it on the brink of civil war and then leg it would be pathetic and indefensible.

Agreed. And the 'greed' bit isn't a pun before any clever shite starts.

I managed to watch every match of Euro 2004, hopefully I'll do the same this year! Study leave- fantastic!

metacafe is a very good site! If you search for 'Big Brother' you'll get loads!
