I bet the bar tab cost him a fortune......i'd take him eight attempts to get a drink down his throat instead of down his shirt! :ph34r:

Good comeback!!

Bucky you must be gutted now that your best mate Sven has finally buggered off!!! Its ok...we're here to help you through it!

i want a france victory and something very bad to happen to Ronaldo

I only saw patches of the game but luckily i saw the two goals...brilliant finshes both of them! And the reverse pass from Pirlo was immense! Wasn't he at Palace a while back?! Feel sorry for Germany though as they have been one of the best footballing teams in the tournament....but someone had to lose i guess!

Oooh Anna....she's nice....say hello from me!

2 out of 3 of those are likely to happen in the portugal match though Oklahoma!!! Im going for both ties to be settled on pens....with Germany and France getting through (hopefully!!!)

I remember he got a great assist on his debut for us....that's about all i remember of his stay however. It was Hughes first signing so shall we let him off with that one?

Liverpool!

We are top the league say we are top the league!!!! At least one Sven got it right in this world cup!!!

I would go as far as to say that if hughes get one of his 'star' targets...which i am confident he will, we will have a far superior offense than we did last season. I'd be very happy if we sign Mido...but i wouldn't be suprised if we got someone who we have not been linked with at all! As for all you doom-mongerers....chill out! We are only 2 players away form being a much better team than last season. Hughes still has the majority of his kitty to play with and i dont think we'll be disappointed!

I agree with some of the others on here who think Ronaldo may have done it with a move to Madrid in mind....he thinks he's off so he doesn't really care about the consequences... Where has Rooney said that he wont play in the same team as Ronaldo? He's caused a few problems at OT now and i wouldn't be suprised in RVN stays and Ronaldo is off

Argentina show a perfect example of how to be graceful in defeat!!!!

Pretty boring 1st half.....Penalties written all over it! Its about time one of these teams learned what its like to lose on Pens!!

Sully Muntari anyone? He once had trials at Man Utd you know!

Bellamy isn't world class

good performance by France...but i can't see them getting past Brazil. I hope they do, but i cant see it happening! On a side note how interesting would it be if all the underdogs won their repective matches and England, Germany, France & Ukraine all went through?! Throw the compition wide open!

I was impressed with most of the Iranian players...in the last world cup they were defensive and boring as hell but they look to have sopme really skillful players and good passers of the ball. However my answer is no...i would not want either of those two to come here!

same here

I will be screaming for a German victory...purely because i would rather England played them in the final than Argentina. Also Riquelme...peerless? Whatabout this Ronaldinho character who everyone has been spouting on about?

He already plays regularly in the CL for Basle though doesn't he?

Completely agree....a bit negative only bringing on one substitue on a very hot day...they didn't go for it anf they paid the price... As for you Aussie's claiming it wasn't a penalty....it would've been if it was in the other box though wouldn't it?!!! I feel a bit sorry for Lucas but i also think its very, very funny!

It was a penalty...he shouldn't have gone diving in like that! Good old Lucas!!

Rooney is perfectly fine role model for kids...after all he is their role model because of his ability and what he does on the football pitch...the fact that he nailed a 45yr old hooker means absolutely nothing...it doesn't mean all his fans are going to do it!!! I bet the majority of kids dont have a clue about what he does in his private life anyway because they dont read the ###### tabloids! As for the NRL....doing that sort of thing in the PL would be impossible due to the proximity of the other major leagues...italy, spain, grermany etc whereas you guys are out on your arse in the middle of nowhere!! And while we're on it i too have noticed the anti-English sentiment of a few of the Aussie users...i know everyone is feeling ultra patriotic because its the world cup and all but there's no reason to go over board...after all...most of you have our blood anyway!

Im going for a big win for England 3-0 The team has got to click at some stage...i just hope it is now!
