Who scored for the Aussies?

Is there a waiting list Gav?

Speaking of horses, a man on TALKsport, whilst discussing the form of Ruud Van Nistlehorse so far in the World Cup described him as "Having the bit between his teeth" Ho ho ho!

Is this the official match preview? I reckon this has the look of the last group game in Japan V Nigeria, both teams happy to settle on bart a piece. Pubs should be packed full of dense blokes in overly tight England style tops from Asda, and girls with white plastic bowler hats with a red cross on. Scum the lot of them.

If you thought England looked knackered after their afternoon game, the Japanese and Croats looked absolutely dead on their feet. Well done Japan, that's a good result.

Borrowed off the Guardian via AESFs earlier post.

That's no way to talk about LDs wife.

Which is more tha Javi De Pedro ever did for us!

From the official site Season Ticket download pack. Who Wrote those Songs? Lee? Jeezus H!

What's the name of the dog, is it Santas little helper?

As was I! I can't beleive I agree with Eddie! No offense!

At least one of the 354 TVs in Hordens must be HD.

This game makes me think of the Nintendo character Mario.

How many people skiving off for this one, other than Abbey and me?

I checked the list and this didn't seem on so I have taken the libbo of starting a thread for tonights match. If someone else is doing it, just hoy this in the virtual waste paper basket. Prima facie, this should be an easy game for England. Man for man the English are better in every position, except the manager. In a recent warm up they knocked six past Carib neighbours Jamaica without reply and this is the first ever turn out for T n T in a world cup. But they did give Sweden a bit of a run around in the first game, with 10 men so they obviously have something about them. Coach Leo Von Bean flicker seems to have got them playing collectively a lot better than the individual parts may suggest they could. I'm in the pub for this one, shouldn't be too busy at 5pm on a Thursday? Personally I think it's a bit unfair that England have to play two countries at once but I guess it's some sort of handicapping system. Looking forward to see Yorkie play against his erstwhil Man Utd mates, I bet he has a blinder. What's Stern Johns real name?

Good God the man must be bionic.

Presumably, the Germans kicked off?

It's not how you start, it's how you finish. Winning 4-0 and playing like the footballing version of the Harlem Globetrotters in a group match still only gets you three points. Put it this way, they can only get worse. The darkest hour is just before dawn, and you cant beat an egg with out making an omelette. All's fair in love and war, and at the end of the day Brian, it's a game of two halves.

Anyone else see Freddie Flintoff being interviewed before the game? Correct me if I'm wrong but our Freddie appeared to rather Brahms to say the least. In fact I would say he was totally Abbeyed.

Dunno who's doing the production and direction for BBC on England (half time now) but it's crud.

Biddy, that article basically is a scaremongering job-they have no way of knowing if you are watching he BBC stream, unless they can sit outside and get the BBC servers to supply IP addresses and get round there sharpish before the history is deleted and so on.

Having read a lot of the previews, I would say this site has to be one of the best places on the net for World Cup info. Brilliant stuff, well done all contributors.

Aww jeez Den give it a rest!! I'm on a black and white portable here with a coathanger aerial!

Give Us a break, it was over 20 odd years ago!!

Nice touch SS. Where are the reports of violence? Why no footage of water cannons spraying on red faced English bloaters with no shirts on, throwing plastic chairs and tables at Jonny Foreigner? Where's Waggy?
