Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down

The linesman just waved off the US goal.

I hate you.

Jokes!

Fabio Capello was crossing the supermarket car park when he noticed an old lady struggling with her shopping trolley. "Can you manage dear?" he asked. To which she replied, "No way. You got yourself into this mess. Don't ask me to sort it out!"

What do you call an Englishman in the knockout stages of the World Cup? The referee.

Where'd you come up with 5? I'm curious.

Just a guess on my part. I better watch out for that Habs fan now...

Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down

bring it

edit: I'll stand by the insult I wrote... but that may cause problems in general... wanting revenge for not being allowed to more efficiently kill other people because of their blood is disgusting.

Careful, they might respond by killing another Archduke.

And somewhere Kamon Couliabaly is saying a prayer that he can now just fade into the record books as an interesting but ultimately irrelevant gaffe.

Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down

Rooney was completely onside. Onside by a lot actually. Turns out the Slovenian keeper made a spectacular save just getting enough of it on his finger to put it onto the bar.

I'm talking about the other incident where Roo squared for Defoe to tap in.

William Hill: If England failed to qualify bookmaker would have made $44.6M. If England wins it all, they will owe up to $75M

How's that work? Bookmakers are supposed to make their money on the vig regardless of outcome.

Yeah, but then realize if you're dealing with a country then the action is going to be one-sided. You couldn't set the odds high enough to balance the betting so you make money on the vig... and if the vig is too high nobody will play.

So, I don't see that as unreasonable.

Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down

Oh I remember it as the English holding out by themselves against the onslaught of the Germans for over a year while the Americans sat by and watched and didn't enter the European theater until the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the declaration of war by Nazi Germany.

I guess we remember the game a tad differently.

I don't think anyone sat idly by. The Left wanted the Lend-Lease Act, the draft etc and the Right thought Hitler was someone they could do business with. They even wanted to emulate Germany. If Hitler hadn't declared war on the US, all of Europe except England would be Russian today.

So my YouTube vid is blocked worldwide by FIFA. ***?

I see tons of YouTube vids of World Cup games. Ah well.

They can kill Leto Atreides if it makes them feel better.

Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down

It's funny for you and tba to pretend England don't care about going second to the U.S. It's rubbish and you know it.

Jeez, you sound like a UNH fan after they win the regular season. The big prize is out there, both teams are after it. I would hope both teams are happy and no one cares about who had more GF to win the tiebreaker.

Red!

Frank Lampard just missed an empty net. Good Lord.

Presumably distracted by a fan with a hot dog or a meat pie or something.

And for those of us who are not fortunate to be able to follow their team (England) while at work, it's nice to be able to read the updates.

Wait, hold on, I know you think Shrek is attractive for some reason, but what?

That's a 5-minute major for drawing blood, right?

Apparently you can mess with Texas.

USA
GOAL!
​

Sorry I'm late...

I'm naming my next dog Landycakes.

I think we may have to retire "Landycakes" nickname after his big goals these last two games.

I could care less about finishing behind the USA. Should have finished behind on points if not for the Mali ref.

I care about finishing second meaning we could end up with: Germany, Argentina, Brazil/Netherlands/Spain/Portugal, Brazil to win it all.

But if we can go through that road, there will be no questions about England's strength.

Sure, and if I had wings I'd be a bird; that's about as likely as England winning through that path.

Man, you kill ONE ARCHDUKE and nobody ever lets you forget it.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

LANDON!
MOTHER!
****!
ING!
DONOVAN!

In a display of that typical Mexican class, Pinches Gringos is trending on Twitter.

After the events of the past week, I imagine that Landon is hated in Slovenia even more than he is in Mexico.

Sorry. I'm not up on Hockey East rivalry minutiae, so I don't have any idea what UNH fans sound like after the regular season.

Of course both teams are happy to advance. That's more than obvious. The inevitable English hand-wringing will take place after they are knocked out, and there will certainly be some moaning about finishing behind the U.S. Particularly if it's England-Germany and the Germans knock out the English, as then England could have avoided Germany by finishing first.

Re: World Soccer XV: Diver Down

haha i thought it was funny but stupid at the same time

it was funny for once, but to do it each time they scored reeks of premediation and that is a poor effort for something they planned.
