an ugly late Rooney goal. 1-0 England.....in spite of themselves.

No desk mate today = TWO MONITORS :campione: :campione: :campione: :campione: :campione: :campione: :campione: :campione:

The guy with the great name looked on side to me????

Nice goal by Defoe. Here we go England!

replay proves it...

Defoe!!!!

nice goal from someone that's been hiding for 20 minutes :lol:

and i think i hear singing..... :campione:

Josey's got the gifts for it, but ghod he's selfish and rather stupid...

Come on Charlie Brown team. Don't lose. :(

ENG looks much better. Maybe Terry's beer 'coup' wasn't bad thing after all....

landy cakes!!!!

holy shit!

Stoppage time Thrilla !! :o , will put USA through :o

Red card , Yahia - Algeria 90+4'

wow, crazy ending, can't help but be stoked for the US. And ENgerland!!

YEAH!!! no chance of seeing buddle and donovan in BMO this weekend :D

let's the good times roll.

Sweet, Donovan won't be there this sat ;)

Donovan is crying.

So did the US win the group? If so this is great for England. As long as Germany doesn't win tomorrow, England is sitting pretty.

That's the first thing I thought too.

Hey Tyler, Germany plays today ;)

I finished my exams yesterday, therefore I have no idea what day of the week it is. :D

Come on Ghana!

I think the 02 re-match would be a cracker.

No Hugh Dallas and we may have a fair game...

Joe Cole should be starting :P
Wayne Rooneys form cost them the top of group today... fucking Manc :P
And it had to be Donovan eh ... :lol:

Well, its good if you want to play Argentina in the quarters....

Of course, England would have to get there first.

Its still early, but the side of the bracket that the USA has ended up on by finishing top of their group is starting to look like the easier side to be on.

What a relief. would have liked to have seen that Rooney post go in, but the keeper made a good save. Hope he is fit for sunday. A much better game to watch than their first 2

Never, ever, in a million years did I EVER think i would want to see an American international sports team do well... but i'm glad they won (dont tell anyone i said that) and in heroic fashion. Have only seen the highlights of that one. It sucks that they finished above England now... makes that Green goal even more of a slap in the face

Anyone else thinking that this US might have a bit of destiny on its side? Barring the Germans coming second (which is pretty unlikely), their potential lead-in to the semi's features a lot of games that they really could win.

Germany will problably win their group and will play England. The winner of that match gets Mexico/Argentina winner.

EDIT: I was just thinking hte same thing Ryan

What would that be?

Serbia/Ghana/Oz then Urgay?

Who does the semi line up with?

Brazil/Holland?

Yup, exactly (or South Korea). But yeah, it gets messy once you hit the semis.

a thousand curses for that nonsense in the brackets! (Though Ki SeongYeong can survive the slaughter and i'd be ok with it)

so we are looking at a semi finalist from Uruguay, South Korea , USA and either (Ghana, Serbia, Australia or (Germany if they finish second)) Right?

Yup.

Hup USA!!!!

And so was I.

Rooney picked up a knock today. He did provide some good service for Defoe and Gerrard.

Well aside from just that sitter today Im thinking how is it a man , a striker no less, who averages almost a goal every other game for club and country (except in the WC) managed to have acquired more red cards than he has goals in what is it now, seven matches at the World Cup...

Crouch , Gerrard a few times, Joe Cole, Beckham Esq, even a Paraguayan defender and now Defoe but no fucking Roooney :lol:


Lampards next.... :lol:

Lampard will miss next penalty.. ;)

Awful reffing at the end of the U.S. game.

First, he books Beasley for what just as easily could have been his chest as arm and then he gives a second yellow to the WRONG Algerian and sends him off. The worst part is that he turns away from the Algerians and then when he turns back around just books the first guy he sees... terrible. He should be Graham Polled immeadiately.

And if you aren't already supporting the 3 Lions and England then you should be...

Drinking beer before the matches.

That's how we roll.

Can't wait until Sunday morning! :crazy:
