I told you this would happen...

A few observations so far: The ball is strange..All the long shots on goal go way off target..
Also it seems the players can't coach/communicate with each other because of the noise of the vuvuzelas..

Hi Saltydog, Indeed ! A whopping goalkeepers error or blunder. I would agree ! Though don`t you think that maybe the `Butterfingers Green` comment is a bit on the merciless side ? How many of us can honestly say that they have NEVER made a `blunder` of one sort or another ? Sometimes pretty silly too ! I would say "Not a single one of us" , and that anyone who begs to differ would be telling `porkies`. In fact each and every one of us goes through life making constant and repeated errors or mistakes. It happens ! It`s `Life`!
Now ! You should go and apologise to `Butterfingers Green`. I was very sorry for him myself. Just imagine being in his place. He must have felt absolutely awful !

Regards, Ken.

To blame the fact that England failed to beat a side which they should (on paper) have easily beaten on a single error by the goalkeeper belies the fact that the whole team were generally lacklustre and mediocre.

While i can't think of any single player who had a particularly bad game I would struggle to single out one who had a good game either with the possible exception of Aaron Lennon.

All I can say is "Come on Slovenia!"

I really feel a bit sorry for the keeper, you wouldn't wish that to anyone. I was just imagining what I thought the English tabloids would be saying about him. And I agree clanky, to put the result down to that one mistake would be unfair, the whole team was dissapointing. Still, it's just the first game. England and USA still have good odds to go to the next round..

I have a golden tip for players in the World Cup..
When shooting the "Jabulani" on goal, don't aim for the goal.. Aim 7 feet below and 10 feet beside the goal..

McGherkin · « **Reply #56 on:** June 15, 2010, 20:55:34 »

Or even better, aim for your goal.

Same here, They get paid to much for what they do... I mean are they doing something useful like doctors or teachers...

yet they get paid more...

I agree with you too TJK - it is a game, and should be fun for those who enjoy it, not a giant business just to make money...

To be totally honest, then I think that most of us if offered the chance to become overnight millionaires for simply playing football [or whatever] would grab that chance with both hands. But morally YES ! I do agree with you.
There are people in the armed forces, people at sea, people in all kinds of dangerous occupations, risking their lives daily for `mere buttons` [in comparison]. There are people who devote their lives fully to the benefit and help of others often getting meagre pay and little if any thanks. The reality of footballers and other `sportsmen` and entertainers of various kinds actually becoming virtually `overnight` millionaires for really doing nothing more than simply following their favourite hobby or `pastime` really does make a travesty of such concepts as `Just` rewards and `true values`etc. BUT ! Do we not live in a crazy world, with crazy systems created and implemented by crazy societies holding crazy and `screwed up`values ?
Try to be happy, IF THEY`LL LET YOU !

PS:- I should really have said "Try to stay SANE IF they`ll let you.

We have 9 Dutch guys on board and even the Filipinos can say "hup Holland hup"

The A/B in my watch. Every time the Dutch team scores he runs around on deck with his airhorn and his stick...

Even his wetsuit has the right colour..

Guys just thought I should warn you. There's a virus going around on Facebook called the Robert Green virus, if you catch it your computer can't save anything.

McGherkin · « **Reply #71 on:** June 21, 2010, 08:51:39 »

Very good.

TNeves · « **Reply #72 on:** June 21, 2010, 15:48:21 »

Portugal won 7-0

saltydog · « **Reply #73 on:** June 21, 2010, 17:27:02 »

Yes, and it was the first game that was broadcast directly in North Korea..How embarrassing..

clanky · « **Reply #74 on:** June 21, 2010, 18:33:53 »

Portugal v. Brazil looks like it might be the first really exciting game of the whole tournament.
