World Cup

[Lensmeister]

Saturday it's me, my ENGLAND shirt, my TV, my beer and hopefully a place in the semis.

I haven't lost faith ........
**********************************************************

It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Football's coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Football's coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Football's coming home

Everyone seems to know the score, they've seen it all before
They just know, they're so sure
That England's gonna throw it away, gonna blow it away
But I know they can play,
'Cause I remember

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

So many jokes, so many sneers
And all those 'oh so near's
Wear you down, through the years
But I still see that tackle by Moore
And when Lineker scored, Bobby belting the ball
And Nobby dancing

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

(England have done it! In the last minute of extra time!)
(What a save, what now)
(Good old England, England that couldn't play football)
(England have got it in the bag)

I know that was then, but it could be again..

It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Footballs coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Footballs coming home

(England have done it)

It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Footballs coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Footballs coming home *REPEATED IN BACKGROUND*

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

p.s. - anyone got a final ticket they don't want I'll have it if ENGLAND are there !

will be one crazy game, since 2 of the portugese have red cards and the rest of the team has yellow (well, almost)

Yep should be rather interesting .. pity Figo wasn't hauled up for the headbutt and banned ..... There is no place in football for that sort of S***.

Sven needs to look at the mind sets of some of the players; Terry (usually one of rhe most solid defenders), and Hargreaves (usually one of the worse .... has someone replaced him with an alien superbeing that knows how to play football).

Terry was not quite on he ball (pardon the pun) yesterday.

Hargreaves seemed to be ready to push forward a little too often, but forget to go back at times. Although against Sweden he was the second best player on the pitch after Joe Cole. On the subject of Cole .. he seemed to rather marked out of it and his natural flair was a little subdued.

Poor old Franky Lampard ... if we were wearing BLUE shirts we'd be competitions highest scorers .... he's had over 50 shots on goal more than any other player .... and 95% of those he has had he usually buries.

Roll On Saturday !

So Ukraine's going to face Italy now. Took them long enough! 2 hours of play and then penalty kicks. Once again I'm glad I tuned in late to the game lol

 

[Arch]

yea totally dull game to watch...... and awful penalties from the swiss..... they must be gutted.....

Italy seem to have had all the luck so far...... lucky to beat the aussies.... then have the easiest team of the quater finals to beat to get to the semi finals..... how jamy is that! :mrgreen:

 

[Mitica100]

Yeah, the PK was a 'gift' in the last seconds of the match, without it the Aussies would've had a better chance at winning, they looked fresher.

But... Italy might have the luck on their side for now but that'll go bye-bye soon.

Can hardly wait for the Brazil-Ghana match tomorrow morning (well, it's 8am here), that should be a beauty.

 

[tekzero]

brazil and ghana, im predicting... 9-1 brazil lol

 

[Xmetal]

OMG!....... italy v australia...... How HARSH was THAT!...... feel bad for the ausies...... last min penalty..... and it wasn't even deserved..... very unlucky

well timed Uni..... all the drama in the last few mins!

Farkin ROBBED I tells ya!!

 

[Mitica100]

brazil and ghana, im predicting... 9-1 brazil lol

I wouldn't go that far...

Don't forget that Ghana ridiculized the Czechs, rated 2nd in the world after Brazil. We might have a surprise of large proportions tomorrow... err... today for most of you (still about 45 minutes until the official 'tomorrow' here).
