As a Welsh man and with no interest in football be it the round one or the oval one I for one will be glad when all this rubbish is over. At the end of the three weeks of play there will no doubt be the post mortum of what should have been done, etc. Surely to goodness there are more important things to be considered than 22 grown "children" kicking a ball around and three grown "children" there to make sure they do it correctly.

I fuly understand your views in the same way I cannot stand soaps on tv.
However the world cup only happens every 4 years and lasts a few weeks only.
As an Englishman I am proud the English team have made it to South Africa.
Come on, indulge us in a bit of national pride!
Cheers

At the moment it is more exciting watching the washing tumble over or the paint drying than football. How come a non football nation draws with a nation which eats, breathes, sleeps and dreams football? Same happened with Bafana Bafana the SA team???
Is that a prediction Colin, as for how long England will be in the tournament? "3 weeks" cuzz the tournament actually last nearer 5 weeks...LOL
Two points have been raised on this topic by various contributers.
Initially a comment was made with reference to the soaps on TV. To this comment I will 100% agree - Eastenders, etc. are a total waste of electricity, time, etc. Reality TV programmes such as Britain Got Talent, Big Brother, etc. are likewise rubbish and should be binned. I was asked today what I thought of the Jeremy Kyle show on TV. As this is a family orientated forum I will leave my reply to your imagination so as not to offend any person (or mods LOL).
Secondly a comment was made regarding my prediction of England being out after 3 weeks. The original posting was my knowledge that this farce only lasted 3 weeks no matter who won. For it to go on for 5 weeks is beyond belief. This will now make me more eager to get the car fixed and disappear once again off into the sunset in the caravan away from it all.

I'd hate to ruin your hols but if you see us footie louts please feel free to join us for a beer.

Dusty - not all football fans are louts/hooligans - my prospective son in law is an ardent Cardiff City supporter and will not have a bad thing said about them. He also has his own garage business and it is now an established company in Bridgend. I am sure that you and your relatives are all respectable members of the community.
All I can say to you is if you enjoy football then go ahead and hopefully the weather will also be in your favour. I hope that you all have a jolly good time and that the results are what you want ie England to win the cup. Just one piece of advice DON'T GET DRUNK (LOL).

I have declared Switzerland on this topic; but I did chuckle when Englands (or is that Engerland) first and only goal yesterday did not get broadcast to anyone watching on HD cos some idiot leaned on the "play adverts" button.

There is as much chance of England winning as Obama saying nice things about BP, but enjoy watching
My money is on Germany or Brazil

IMO Germany only looked good because Australia were so poor.
Holland may go the whole way. My wild card is South Korea.

Dusty,
we were away with another couple and their kids at Gosford Forest Park, Markethill, at the weekend and we also set up the TV outside for the football, a few beers, some old friends, some new friends, ,sun splitting the trees, Excellent weekend.

The reason the Germans are the only team that has played well so far is because they are the only country who have been playing with this 'new' Jubalani' ball. They started using it in the Bundesleague six months ago.
It is obvious from the lack of goals and poor shooting that there is something wrong with the ball as well as complaints from players and coaches alike. The complaints regarding those one tone horns are also justified despite the S.Africans saying they are their twelth man because it hasn't worked. It now looks like they are going to be knocked out and if they do let's hope they knock the horns on the head :O)
Tonight I'm going to sit through another 90 minutes of torture after trying, and probably failing miserably, to convince myself that Ingerrlund cannot play badly five games in a row.
In my travels I have to say that the most patriotic supporters I've seen are those on the I.O.W. where a lot more people are flying our flag on cars and homes. On the negative side they also have the worse potholes I've come across ... heh! heh! heh!
All the best from a cloudy but humid Black Knowl.

According to the online news reports Capello has dropped Rob Green for tonight's match against Algeria.
The only problem is that Calamity James is his replacement.

According to my understanding James was always the number one choice but didn't play last week because of an injury.
Today he is apparently match fit and thus able to play if chosen.
Poor Green has been crucified by the media and no doubt his career will now go down the road of Scott Carson.
Success has many mothers , failure is an orphan.

Before yesterday match Robert Green faced 4000 shots at goal in training and non were scored, Fabio was very impressed and said that him and Heskey can now join the others in training!!!!
Those horns originated with a religious sect known as the Shembe Baptist in South Africa and they were used to celebrate religious festivities.
Strangely enough they have no interest in football or money but want to be recognised as the originator of the horn. Not sure if that is such a good idea now.
