How England will win the World Cup this year...

[Nico]

No, the Aussies are doing quite well, the only goal Japan managed should have been a foul on the goalie... alas, it was allowed, and that's the end of us.

 

[JayKeeley]

Shit, you've got Croatia and Brazil next.

 

[Nico]

GOOAAAAAAAALLLL!

 

[lizard]

Tied!!! Man the aussia fans are rejuvenated

 

[JayKeeley]

Holy shit....you never know in this game.

 

[Nico]

Did you hear the fans after the Japan goal was allowed? Fucking maniacal, they were.

Now we've got a fighting chance at least.

 

[JayKeeley]

Hey lizard - are you somehow able to watch the games from work?

 

[Nico]

ANOTHER GOAL!

WE'RE GONNA FUCKIN WIN IT!!!!

 

[lizard]

wtf Aus. scores again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes our tech guys down the way have a publishing point for distance learning and they've got espn 2 on

 

[lizard]

[JayKeeley]

And THIS is exactly why FOOTBALL (not the shitty NFL (rugby with pads)) is the greatest game on the planet, no question. How can 4 billion people be wrong?

Come on you Aussies.

 

[Nico]

3 goals in the last 8 minutes. Holy fuck, that ruled.

I think what stymies alot of Americans is that so many games seem to be just endlessly trotting around kicking it hither and yon but that's kind of the deal, you boot it around looking for a good opening. kind of like a singles bar.

 

[JayKeeley]

Not enough tv commercials to break the monotony am i rite

I don't understand how people can say there's too much waiting in soccer, and like football, where there's 10 seconds of action and a minute of lull for every play, and baseball--where they practice throwing and catching--every fucking inning!

What a game. Poor Japan, they really fucked themselves.

 

[lizard]

yeah Japan really choked...

perception is often stronger than reality.

but this Cup so far is awesome, we've had heroes and goats and human error and some great, great play.

 

[lizard]

haha Russell's post go away

 

[JayKeeley]

The boss is out today (or coming in later)....

....I'm going to sneak out with some co-workers and watch USA vs CR.

Seriously, there's gonna be an upset...I can feel it in my boner....USA will beat the Czechs.

 

[Eminor]
