Guest alex Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'd echo what others have said. We should've won the group and we have missed a golden opportunity to have a relatively easy route to the semis. Obviously you have to play the big guns at some point but no one in their right mind would want our potential set of matches. Agree about Terry playing to the cameras with his huddle at the end too.

Meenzer 13989 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Surprised at how happy I am for Team YouEssAy actually. That's a very tasty part of the draw, too - one of Uruguay, South Korea, Ghana and Merka is going to be a semi-finalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uruguay are the best of that bunch imo, theres going to be a lot of south/central American teams in the last 16 from the looks of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 6766 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Did anyone else have to suffer watching the game at work with people who probably haven't watched a match since the last World Cup? "Is Rooney allowed to go anywhere on the field?" "How come when we kick it out they get the ball?" "Why do they keep falling over and rolling on the ground?" To be fair the last one is a valid question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Three Lions Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) Put yourselves in the yank shoes yesterday, that must've been like Bellamy's winner in Feyenoord or Michael Thomas at Anfield for them. Is there any clips of the yanks going mental at home? I tell you something else, they could quite easily get to the Semi's America, in fact I'd say they have a reasonable chance.

Tom 13817 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Their pile on was class like! The last bloke jumped on an instantly rolled off! Donovan sounded like a typical yank in his interview too. ''We as a team embody what being an American is about'' or some such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speak for yourself mate. haha well not like us, but I mean that's how we'd celebrate a goal. Obviously they're mugs, but football is important to some of them at least clearly.

Toonpack 6766 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Having been an NFL fan for decades and on message boards since they were old and clunky I have seen a huge change in the average "yank" attitude to football. This was illustrated amply last week when on a national blog/rumour site that I read, the site posted a World Cup "so what" piece in the old "it's boring and no-one scores" style. The reply comments went through the roof and were hugely disdainfull of the writers point of view. The day when the US takes over the world of football is ever nearer unfortunately.
