scouser 4 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 US vs Ghana, I see - and then either Uruguay or S Korea. Nice work getting on top there US, good position to be in. England will surely regret being woeful in the first two games. Link to post Share on other sites

This WC sucks dick because of the vuvu horns Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Damn good run if the US can do it. I can't see Ghana kicking ass and then perhaps Uruguay? The US can just say they'll withhold aid and they'll walk by. Link to post Share on other sites

Once the WC has finished, the people getting excited over the hype will soon forget about football and soccerballs. It's not the football they are interested in, it's the event.

scouser 4 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 You've got an as good as could possibly be hoped for run in there Mitch. No excuses. England have lots of excuses of course all lined up ready to shoot off. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Whatever. I think the point I was responding to was this World Cup "rocking" or not. And the dramatic world order changing comment etc. Link to post Share on other sites

Mintyjulep 0 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Shirts off for the boys!!! (search it on facebook ) Just over two hours till kick off between NZ and Paraguay. If we win then we advance with probably Italy - I don't see Slovakia drawing or beating Italy. If we draw, well oh well, better luck next time Anyway, we'll be up until nearly 4am watching just in case NZ never go to a football world cup again in our lifetimes Link to post Share on other sites
