Mind you... I'll probably get my windows broken

Haha! Get boarding them up, quick!!

 

[SnoopDog]

Englnd will advance one more time, but the quarters will be their last game in this tournament. Take my word for it.

Their team has only one real strength, having some of the ugliest attackers in the sports history.

*quickly hiding to avoid beating and slaughter*


Snoopy, GO GERMANY !

Revenge for 2004 looms

Revenge for 1966 has right of precedence, I think.

0-0 at half-time between England and Ecuador.

 

[Guest]

*yawn*

They'd better keep piling that pressure on, otheriwse we're screwed.

 

[matriarch]

This is unfair........the match will be shown on Stateside TV....in another hour and twenty minutes.....by which time the whole freakin' world will know the result.

I don't think I'll bother, I know I'll get texts from the sprogs anyway when its done and dusted.

Mat, ESPN has a "Gamecast" thingy at ESPN.com that is actually half decent as these things go...

 

[Guest]

A Becks Special.

 

[Belegon]

Beckham scored on a free kick...imagine that...



kinda like saying I went to see a musical and somebody started singing...

It's been three years since he did it for England, though, and the first goal he's scored for England in thirteen games.

I'm Adopting England I think...

I want to adopt the aussies, but that is more like a foster care situation...they won't be around long enough...

I'd adopt Portugal but Lauren would think I was just trying to wheedle a kiss out of her...and she'd be right *blush*

You get a kiss out of me for that instead.





Well, we won it!

Could've been more exciting, but we were solid.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

The English won't be around for that much longer than the Aussies.

Congrats to all you silly sods, though.

Bring on the Portuguese!
You can feel the tension round here, there was a collective intake of breath from the cafe downstairs when England scored They definitely do not want to be playing England in the next round.

England 1 - Ecuador 0 Final

Goals:
England
7. BECKHAM David (60')

 

[NoJo]

I think Beckham's free kick will improve morale and accellerate England's slow but steady improvement so far: One by one, the squad is waking up. Now if only Frank Lampard scores in the next game...

 

[NoJo]

BTW: Prediction NED 2 POR 0

 

[Lauren Hynde]

It's always good to accelerate properly before a frontal crash.

Oh, good. I was getting worried about your earlier analysis of England's career, but now it's clear you know about as much about football as those English betters.

If I didn't have a bad back I'd go on the rampage through your town and throw beer cans at your police, for that remark.

You'd find them by the big screen TV holding a few beer cans themselves.
