The Germans made quick work of ze swedes. Did anyone else catch Larson kick away the german defenders boot A German Argentina match should be goooooood.
I think Mexico outplayed them in that half. Doesnt look like the Argentina team we saw in the group stages at least. Should be a good 2nd half :Smokin:
I only caught the second half...but I have to assume the first half was better. I'm surprised Argentina haven't put this to bed already...did they peak too soon?
Have you heard about Thomas Rosicky, Philipp Lahm, Esteban Cambiasso and Torsten Frings? Yes? Good, did you see their goals? Yeah? Fine, so stop making an arse out of yourself on the Internet, then! :danceboy:
OK so you're saying Joe Cole's goal wasn't unbelievably spectacular. I think you'll find the rest of the world (including FIFA) disagree with you.
So they're saying it's 40C (104F) IN THE SHADE today...damn, what does that do to the English? It'll be like watching a bunch of pink lobsters on the pitch.
Why are you guys rooting for Ecuador? Because they're the underdog? I actually figured they'd have the edge in the heat, but meh...considering this was England, I'm surprised we had so much possession.
Glad we won...
...but I've had enough of Frank Lampard. He's useless. We need to see much more of Aaron Lennon -- get him on, push Beckham in to where Lampard normally hovers, and go back to 4-4-2. Rooney needs a second striker out there...he was running around like a lost jew.
Good on Beckham -- his free kicks are just miraculous.
