we had the whole school crammed into the tiny hall which is the size of a crayon and we watched the whole match and 2 seconds before the goal the reception broke

it came back then and the screaming was so so loud that all my little kids started to cry

great fun ...

I'm sad that Keano II didn't get a chance to finish his Roger Milla after the goal, what with being swamped by amorous team mates.

Speaking of, did you know the famous lion himself now plays with Mission of Burma? Really. No word of a lie.

Cameroon 1 Saudi Arabia 0

Very good, very good indeed!

 

[snap-apple]

that means we just have to beat the saudis by two goals to get through?

 

[old]

As good as this?

 

[snakybus]

goddam firewall!

I just know that's something hot, and I so want to see it!

oh and, yes Conor, it does mean that, IF there's a draw betwixt the Germans and the Cameroonians (?). If there's not, that's even better, we'll qualify regardless of goal difference (and by "we" I mean "they" of course, ahem)

THE KEANE IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KEANE!

 

[snakybus]

check out the live running commentary at ireland.com for matches, it's funny sometimes

eg

"37': Abreu collides with Barthez while attempting to reach Recoba's ball .... they square up to each other ... a bit of mean eye-ball action ... all a bit boring ... if they're really angry, why don't they use their fists? "

Henry got sent off after 30 minutes!

Football Unlimited is good for that too.

"Holland punts a ball upfield and into what appears to be a parallel universe, where Kevin Kilbane is able to beat his man and deliver a decent cross into the box. Sadly, despite these strange events, Kahn once again beats Keane to the ball and normality is restored."

 

[#10-7]

football365 said something like
'duff... duff still has it...... pass to keane back to duff.... SHITE... saved by kahn again....kahn throws it out.....'

Hee he, football is funny...

If I was to place a bet on a team I'd have to go with Spain. A good team who are long overdue some success.

Fine sentiments, chief.
I have €10 on them at 7/1.
But if Ireland manage to beat them Saudis, they'll be most likely pitted against the Spaniards. This doesn't bode well.
If, by some bizarre stretch of imagination, Ireland cause me to lose my tenner in the 2nd round, there could be an easier quarter final game against the likes of South Korea, Mexico or the US.
Then we can be trounced soundly in a grudge match against the Eyeties in the semis.
Still think the money on the Spaniards might be a good idea, though.

As Vinnie is fond of saying, the Spaniards are bottlers.
They fear success. Just like the Portugese. We got real good chance of taking them shits...and you can't argue cuz I saved your double bass pedal. Ha.
