been watching all these games with spanish commentary...from yesterday's game:

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Robbie Keane scores!!!!!!! Appearing in the area like a phantom, sucking the
soul of goalkeeper Oliver Kahn. The goalkeeper, shattered and bathed in
nostaglic tears for a ball that passed him by and will never come
out....1-1!!!!!!!!!!"

"and will never come out"

i mean, come on. over due some sucess? like, say , england?
laughable sentiments. you're fired, old. fired.

Aww. Fine sentiments, but I don't agree with them.
I reckon the Spaniards might do well cos they are actually quite good.
The Portuguese had no hope even before yesterday.
And as for England... any team *that* useless, hoofing the ball like 11 Mick McCarthys, containing Mills (if he's in the team tomorrow, clearly the only way he can get dropped is by having both his legs lopped off - which, if I were an England fan, I would volunteer to do) deserves exactly what they'll get.
Fuck all.

danny mills is england ian harte.

spaniards.... no. too slow in the middle. and the madridistas still won't pass to the catalans and the basques won't pass to anyone. plus they's gonna be knackerd. plus their easy group will give them teh shock of their life when they play us or cameroon.

iddily will win, if onny to make me 250 notes richer.

I think Mills is far worse than Harte.
At least Harte has his free kick thing.

250 notes, eh?
The smallest increment of euro note is €5, which means you'll get €1250 if you bet in our fine currency.
What odds gets you that?

An Eyetalian win would net me a mere €45, which would still go down nicely.
That 33/1 for Eyeties plus their stolen Australian as top scorer now seems a fine deal.

 

[Hector Grey]

stolen australian. i love it.
see the french. boy oh boy. not very impressive is it. the french boys in here are despondant.
jayses. the world cup makes life better, doesn't it?

 

[old]

Class game to watch, though, that France/Uruguay one.
Wonder what the betting is on France getting knocked out without scoring one goal?
Them and Portuguese out in the first round would be sweet.

Oi.
Fuck off and leave the thread I'm paying attention to alone, missus.

 

[Hector Grey]

who let the yank in? jesus. they never take a hint do they? i mean, 10,000 days in vietnam.

i never rated portugal. still don't. bottlers. don't like to defend. see it as some kind of affront to their sensibilities.

two goals agaisnt the saudis, eh? can it be done? clinton with a hattrick.

 

[old]

One for Quinn, praps.
I don't see a draw between Cameroon and Germany.
There's too much at stake, they'll both be going for a win.
Unless the news comes at half time that the Saudis are 3-0 up.

 

[Hector Grey]

it's great the way we go utterly batty without ever winning a game. dya think it'll be mentalness on tuesday when we beat them? imagine us in teh semi final. wow.

i reckon we can score them goals we need. ah, come on.

 

[#10-7]

one sorta funny thing about the world cup is the pundits.

andy townsend jumped up and ran around the studio when ireland scored, and constantly refers to the team as 'we'.
david o'leary says 'lad' a lot and tiptoes around people, careful not to offend anyone.
gazza was drunk last week, and slurred and giggles through his post match analsys.
mark lawrenson calls england 'we' and ireland 'they', which annoys the crap out of me.
eamonn dunphy, he he...
alan hanson, the undisputed king of punditry, however defensive minded.
liam brady, far too wishy washy, although soft spoken and wise, doesn't seem to ever have any different opinions from his little friends...

did ya hear him on the last word yesterday telling his kids to keep queit,classic.

 

[old]

I think we'll get them too.
I have faith.
Only be mentalness if we aren't already winning by half time.
Then people might start getting tetchy.
I fucking love these Johnny Giles radio ads.
"Here, Teresa. Push a bit right, you're crowding the middle."
