June 24, 201016 yr On the subject of punditry and the media, it's awful in the UK. I can't decide whether I hate Adrian Chiles or Mark Lawrenson more. At least with the likes of Adebayor and Redknapp in the studio you get a bit of banter, but it's so sad when the commentators try and make a joke out of every little thing.God, i hate Adrian Chiles. Mick McCarthy as well. He makes the football sound about as exciting as a list of building materials.Got sent this joke earlier:[hide]50°FPeople in Southern England turn on the central heatingPeople in Edinburgh put out bedding plants 40°FSoutherners shiver uncontrollablyGlaswegians sunbathe on the beach at Largs 35°FCars in the South of England refuse to startPeople in Falkirk drive with their windows down 20°FSoutherners wear overcoats, gloves and woolly hatsAberdonian men throw on a t-shirt; girls start wearing mini-skirts. 50°FPeople in Southern England turn on the central heatingPeople in Edinburgh put out bedding plants 40°FSoutherners shiver uncontrollablyGlaswegians sunbathe on the beach at Largs 35°FCars in the South of England refuse to startPeople in Falkirk drive with their windows down 20°FSoutherners wear overcoats, gloves and woolly hatsAberdonian men throw on a t-shirt; girls start wearing mini-skirts 15°FSoutherners begin to evacuate to the continentPeople from Dundee swim in the River Tay at Broughty Ferry 0°FLife in the South grinds to a haltInverness folk have the last BBQ before it gets cold -10°FLife in the South ceases to existPeople in Dunfermline throw on a light jacket -80°FPolar bears wonder if it's worth carrying onBoy Scouts in Oban start wearing their long trousers -100°FSanta Claus abandons North PolePeople in Stirling put on their 'long johns' -173°FAlcohol freezesGlaswegians get upset because all the pubs are shut -297°FMicrobial life starts to disappearThe cows in Dumfriesshire complain about farmers with cold hands -460°FAll atomic motion stopsShetlanders stamp their feet and blow on their hands -500°FHell freezes overScotland will support England in the World cup [/hide] It isn't in the castle, It isn't in the mist, It's a calling of the waters, As they break to show, The new Black Death, With reactors aglow, Do you think your security, Can keep you in purity, You will not shake us off above or belowScottish frictionScottish fiction
June 24, 201016 yr I just realized how much it sucks not to have your own country to cheer for. :cry: I always have to "pick" a team to "cheer" for, like jumping on a bandwagon, and i hate it.
June 24, 201016 yr So far in the last 16: 1. Uruguay vs South Korea2. USA vs Ghana3. Germany vs England4. Argentina vs Mexico Winner of Match 1 plays the Winner of Match 2.Winner of Match 3 plays the Winner of Match 4. Can't see England getting too far :lol: "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale."
June 24, 201016 yr What a game that was... I thought Italy might just pull it off right at the end. indeed! good fight France, Good fight Italy, Good fight Greece. I sincerely hope these 3 things culminate in better international football: teams have to become a lot better at attacking collectively, as a team. International football could be so good, looking at all the stars, but that means practicing together, and focusing more on international caps.
June 24, 201016 yr great game. im sure i have some friends crying their heart out right now :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
June 24, 201016 yr In 2006 Italy and France met in the Final. In 2010 they'll meet in the airport. :lol: "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale."

June 24, 201016 yr This World Cup is working out like World War 2 - France have forfeited, the USA turned up late, and England are left to fight the Germans!
June 24, 201016 yr now im worried if chile is gonna upset spain tomorrow =\ :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
June 24, 201016 yr This World Cup is working out like World War 2 - France have forfeited, the USA turned up late, and England are left to fight the Germans!And the Japanese surprised the crap out of everyone. :)I only caught the last few minutes but I saw the highlights, and the goal that wasn't off a free kick was amazing. I expected a draw or maybe a 1-0 win, but not 3-1. Also gf Italy. Sucks for New Zealand to go undefeated yet not qualify. Portugal better qualify tomorrow, and I would love to see the Swiss through as well. Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.

June 25, 201016 yr I don't really watch Soccer, but I played soccer for one year when I was younger. The only team I really know is USA, so that's who I'm going for. That goal by Donovan kind of made we want to watch soccer a bit more. I just don't understand how they run up and down that field without any breaks. That is endurance, I guess! You'll need alot of it to play soccer or maybe any sport. In my opinion, the main sport in the USA is American Football. The four major sports in America are Football (Go Cowboys!), Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey (Yes, hockey! ;)) But I do like soccer. :)
June 25, 201016 yr I bet tomorrow Chile will end the day as first in group H and that spain will be eliminated haha i hope not =\ brazil vs spain in the finals would be flat out amazing. two of the best most balanced teams on paper and i <3 spain :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
June 25, 201016 yr lolol why did you think italy was gonna do well =\ they are ooold. even with buffon they werent gonna get far def past the group stages but not that far :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
June 25, 201016 yr Dunno what I was thinking. >.< At first I put Brazil cuz they always look good, but. And looking at Portugal's performance in their 7-0 domination, do you guys think they'll get far? Or was it just because their opponent wasn't even up to par? *Not a big fútbol fan, so I'm just wondering. ^ Blog.
June 25, 201016 yr In 2006 Italy and France met in the Final. In 2010 they'll meet in the airport. :lol: This time Zidane will headbutt the airport security people :P Isn't it just our luck that England that is going against Germany on Sunday? 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM
June 25, 201016 yr Author Hm, i was surprised by Italy. I would have betted on getting past group stage at least. But, this will at least be an awakening for the Italian team. I'm not too much into Italian football, but their problem have been that there haven't been many new faces they've been able to take in. All the young promising players aren't good/mature enough, and the old are getting too old. I imagine, with my amateur view, that they'll be much more of a contender to the Euro 2012. Also, well done New Zealand. *off to update the fantasy team* J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé
June 25, 201016 yr It would be hilarious if Spain get knocked out tonight, especially since it's the team everyone seems to bandwagon.
