I tell you. If you thought the Belgium/Russia match was hard to watch and was disappointed. Try watching it when it's on between 2-4am!
Anyway, as someone who very much on the Belgium bandwagon. It's another game where they didn't play their best, but still won. Typically, a mark of a (up and coming) champion team.
On the other hard, the Russians are not happy with Capello.
Though luck as England tried hard to get rid of him :dozey:
It's taken a while but I think I'm beginning to give Netherlands a break, they used to be my favourite team for years, probably because at one time their national team was my home town's own boy short of Amsterdam's Ajax. :)
That changed in the Final against Spain in 2010. They played a miserable game and couldn't handle loosing and turned nasty.
Maybe if they beat Italy at some point I might just buy the orange track jacket I've been looking for couple of days. :D
Strange thing about Capello is. As much as generally people moan about him in England as being one of our worst coaches. He lead us to 2010 Finals with our best points haul and most goal filled qualifying campaign ever.
Then the finals were OK in terms of results by getting to the 2nd round, just that we were so poor to watch.
He is actually our best coach in terms of win percentage.
I liked England during Bobby Robson period. I almost cried when lost that semifinal of WC 1990.Quote:

Elsewhere Spain finally winning a game 1-0 over Australia.
I kept flipping the channels but stuck mainly with the Spain match - thought the other wasn't living upto expectation.
Of course the channel flipping ended up costing me the last 3 goals as I kept changing only to find out a goal had just gone in :s
Finally the real Spain turned up. A classy end to a career by a classy striker.
Bravo David Villa :up:
Viva Mexicoooooooooooooooooooo :D
Edit: Hello All :p:

N-e-y-m-a-r!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn. Oh well Cameroon were playing well, but I see many goals now. Cameroon are so weak at the back.
I hope the press do not go over the top if Brazil win 4/5-0. I mean its a ramshackled Cameroon. Not much of a test really
I hope Neymar will score again.
:eek:
yaaaaaaaaaaaay Cameroon
I honestly get so annoyed by the whole British media almost willing Cameroon to give up and concede 6 just to dribble over Brazilian samba.
Jeez. Brazil are just another team and yet they are treated like they are Brazil 70.
I would probably support them a bit if it wasn't for media orgasm's over Brazil
1 - 1 Good one Cameroon
goal Neymar........------:kiss:
I'm impressed. What a phase at the end of the first half.......
Barca should sign Neymar.
He he he he 3-1 . And it was an offside.
What a stupid ref :mad:
That was handball :evil:
Ody, save your energies for tomorrow :p:
As now we will have Brazil vs Chile and Mexico vs The Netherlands in 1/8 finals !
Could change with a goal or two, and I would love to see a Brazil v Netherlands 2nd round match. Tasty
Now lets see what the pizza boys can do tomorrow :p:
You all will see, how good Italy really is :p:Quote:

Would love seen Brazil kicked out by The Netherlands! :devil:
Or Netherlands kicked out by Mexico :devil:
Lol ody ! :D
How stupid could I be? I volunteered to stay after hours tomorrow forgetting that the big match is at 19.00 -local time.....
^ Sick leave :D
Not accepted. Better try to convince the only guy in the office to stay for me. He's not interested in football-what a sucker....Quote:
