No comments on the Spain game? That was crazy! Spain are looking deadly. I've got a friend who put $100 on them to win the cup. I'm not sure what the odds were before the cup started though. Since they have this habit of collapsing/choking and have never won it before, I'd say the odds would have been good.
EDIT: OK, there were plenty of comments on it. This thread moves too fast for me
Just hearing on the radio Ronaldo has been taken to hospital - looks like he is suffering from a similar thing to the last WC where he blacked out before the big game.....
The fatty was probably stuffing himself with candy. Too much sugar in his blood and he passed out.
Man, I have to laugh at how pitiful England are playing. I think it's a reflection of how awful Sven is as a coach. His player selection makes Gerard Houllier look like a genius.
How many games did Ashley Cole play prior to the cup coming from injury? Same with Owen.
Crouch is not a goal scorer and he's not as dominant in the air as one would think. Carragher shouldn't be a starter on any elite teams. And Sven wanted to play him as a ball holding midfielder (???). Keep in mind I'm a huge Liverpool fan...but neither Carra nor Crouch should be starting.
Then we have Beckham....I'm 50-50 on this one. This guy used to be able to make 50-60 yard passes with millimetrical accuracy....
Sven is leaving after the WC. Too bad for England it's coming 2 years too late.
Still don't see any justification for the hype, England look so ordinary - I just can't see it.....
I agree....but I don't think T&T played better than England. The score could very easily be 1-0 to England if Owen hadn't done...what he did that rebound and Crouch hadn't done...that awful thing...with the goal at his mercy.
Should be 2-1 to England. If one is generous with this boring, mediocre half.

For the english, is there a greater rivalry between England and Germany or England and Argentina?
England and Germany
It is always like an endgame.

Germany, but I hope Germany win. Also hope T&T beat England tomorrow.
How comes?
Germany vs. England is not sure, but chances are
that England will lose against Schweden, and come in second.

Because this country is shit, and so are most of the people living here.
And our players are a bunch of overpaid, underachieving pussies.
Go Holland!

Well, i love this country, especially the south-west
and welsh part. It is so beautiful and so the people
are. I spent a good time hopping from castle to castle.
Once i met an elderly true lady, who was/is running a bed an'
breakfast. We're still in touch with each other, writing cards
once in a while.
Aberystwith in the very west is amazing.

Uhmm well i just have no arguments against that,
except the ones you've probably heard 1000 times
before. Anyway, cheers... I am collapsing NOW

I can't believe Marc and I are on the same side of an issue.
If Trinidad does the unthinkable tomorrow, you'll hear the cheering across the planet.
Sverige will beat England, and that will put them aqt the top.
Rumors in Japan say lots of the matches are suffereing form bad refereeing. Not that I know much about it, so was wondering what everyone thinks.

This is just a rumour. In nearly all cases (what? 14 matches
until yesterday?) the referees were right. Well, almost always.
I don't want to go over the top though.
Amazing, but true. The only exception was the play
between Ukraine and Spain. But you know, referees are
human, too. This is a trivial argument, but so true in sports.
Generally and over all, and this is that counts, these black (uhmm, yellow)
guys blew a whistle pretty good so far. Don't believe the rumours in Japan.
EDIT:
I just got the hunch that Japanese journalists threw a monkey wrench...
into the fridge right now.
Argggggggg... still another 2 hours ...
England there is a lot at stake today.

min 3: Jones lost his right shoe, takes one minute to put in
on again ...
some tv shots are showing desperate fans
min 8: England plays long passes all the time, they all
don't reach other players.
England seem to be a wee bit confused...

Segovius, just stop watching. Watch with the sound down. Watch in Spanish.

Reckon T&T had the best of the half there.
