Domenech is such a tw*t. I'm glad France are gone. A shame SA had to bite the bullet too but a good effort for a team that is far from strong.
Dear Players, Coach and Fans of Argentina,
I would like to let you know that I will support your national team in the game against Greece, with enthusiasm!
Go Argentina!
Best Regards,
Eki
Domenech made himself a laughing stock this tournament, even topping it after their final match with this behaviour.
Did I miss something?Quote:

Plus what did he have to say to him that took so long, and why did the SA coach stand attentively listening :confused:
If a poor sport doesn't want to shake my hand it only takes me about .75 seconds to say F$#% You, and walk away.
Maybe you were referring to Greece :pQuote:

Go South Korea!!!
Crucial day for both England and Germany...will they make it to the 1/8 finals, or we will have more suprises ? :p : I am happy for South Korea anyway :up:
I am even happier for North Korea. :D To make this a truly momentous occasion, their match against Portugal was the first World Cup match directly transmitted into the country and shown live.Quote:

You can't be/have both way, either you love or you hates them (Italians) :p :Quote:

And in the 91st minute, Landon Donovan steals back the glory. If that isn't a show of drama, I don't know what is.Quote:

Both England and USA qualified with USA on top of the Group, what a great result for them ! :eek: :up:
England had enough chances to win at least 4-0. They need to learn how to put their chances away if they are going to beat the best teams.
Well done to USA for winning the group. :up:
Now lets hope the Germans lose :p
Landon Donovan has bigger balls than "The Boss" ;)Quote:

The most intence game I've seen so far in the World Cup, it was really exciting despite the lack of goals, and a great climax.Quote:

Guys...let's go back to World Cup, thank you :)
Gibson's was in game one. Mazeroski's was in the 9th inning of game 7 that nobody gave the Pirates a chance in hell to beat the Yankees.Quote:

Since England and the US had the same number of wins, draws and losses, as well as the same goal difference, what was it that determined the US as the winner of Group C?Quote:
