I'm definetly happy Italy won! Not only because I'm half italian, but because France took Brasil out! Bastards...not that Brasil played well..but still! lol
No team really played well in the whole tournament, there was Argentina 6 Serbia and Montenegro 0 game. And Germany killed some ealier teams.
But otherwise you could see anyone potentially winning any game.
i honestly think that the italians played dirty throughout the game. true, zidane shouldn't have given out that headbutt not only because he shouldn't but also because it overshadow's italy's playing dirty throughout the game
Well I wanted Jamaica to win, but we can't all have what we want.
Phizzy - that is the saddest reply you ever given to ANY post - well i wanted Jamaica to win, but .... but ...... but .....[Jesus I can't be arsed to retype] - let's see your buttocks with a Jamaican tattoo or something - you smokin' a joint - stabbing a doll. Come on mate, let the creative juices flow like they used to rather than "I wanted Jamaica to win"
to start press any key ...... where's the ANY KEY??
Go Portugal! They reached that far the first time in 40 or so years! England is not a good team... or a team of only 2 good players....It's just a team of all talk and no game, it's always been that way, and it will always be. The only thing England will win in world cups, are the size of the team's cheers mouths. = I wanted Brazil, Portugal, Italy to win...and one of them did So I was happy.
for European standard, I believe England is one of the best. But this world cup, like many other good teams, England didn't play well. It sucks for England that if you lose 1 or 2 players (roonie or backham) sorry if I mispelled their names...then England's team is nothing, and i feel the team is just way too dependent on them. Hence why they lost for Portugal.
Mexico sucks although they do have awesome margaritas drinks...lol! and they're not South American. Argentina is another very good team of tradition. Both Brasil and Argentina are really good teams, I guess they make up for the rest sucky ones lol.
If South American teams were so good how come all the semi-finalists were European?
And England are a team of 21 excellent players + Walcott and Jenas, but the team itself is not a good one. No cohesion, no passion, no reward. We played better with ten men and no Rooney or Beckham than we did in the entire tournament.
no Noodle, sorry. England didn't play good. Also, 1 world cup alone doesn't say who are the best in the world. Also, when was the last time England won a world cup? I don't think I was born....if so I cannot remember.
Brazil (5)
Germany (3)
England (1)
Italy (4)
France (1)
Uruguay (2)
Argentina (2)
have ever won it. How many teams participare in the qualifiers each four years? hundreds. So there
Oh also England didn't bother participating in the early world cups.
So talking about not winning since 1966 means little.
Obviously, there is no point on arguing about this. The numbers speak for themselves, so I don't think there is a point on arguing which teams are good or not, naturally you will cheer for your home country (for the most part) and that blinds people from seeing the truth and fact of the matter. So I'll leave it at that and wish England luck, lots of it on the next world cup.
Don't get me started on that Axel. They play it everywhere we used to own except for USA and Canada.
And Newt, I don't think you understand what I am saying. England did indeed play shite, but the FIFA rankings deem it fit to place us fifth in the world, with a revised ranking system than before. England are a good team, but not the best. They have some of the best players, though, but not the best team.
Heh... I've wanted Italy to win ever since 4 years ago. But my fanship of Italy was only because Totti in the FIFA 2002 game resembled me and I actually managed to score a goal from a free kick in the other half of the field in that game, lol .
But this WC was pretty sad. So few goals. The first match was the best ever, 4-2. And the last... lots of goals didn't count. One french penalty wasn't there, though it should be. And Zidane's penalty shouldn't technically count, coz it bounced OUT of the goal, didn't touch the net.
And all the winners played dirty. Italian players were rolling around and acting injured, which people noticed because they wanted France to win. But what pisses me off was that nobody noticed Germany cheating in the Ger-Por match. I mean WTF, about 8 free kicks in front of the Portugese goal (first half)? Stopped watching by the 2nd goal coz by then it was obviously rigged. The refs shouldn't be giving yellow cards just because the German players decide to fall down 5 seconds after being pushed. Worst thing of all was that both Germany and Italy would've won easily without any cheating.
And England is IMHO, the most overrated team in the world. They're good individually, but they're a bad team. And I dislike Beckham & Rooney's attitudes. LOL, I'm happy they lost, especially to Portugal.
"So that was the final? No more talk about football for 4 years?"
LOL, unless you live in North America, there will be mention of football at least once a week in the papers, and a continental cup at least once every 2 years. Malaysia actually has a fairly detailed football system even though it's considered one of the worst teams in the world... lost by 6 goals about 8 times internationally, lol.
Dunno.. I used to hate the sport when I was forced to play it at gym class, but the best thing about football is the huge anti-racial effect you can see around. I kinda wish it was on every year. It's one of those few things that literally stops wars and political fights. At least here in Malaysia.

Newt, I don't know whether it's your shaky grasp of English or just sheer bloody-mindedness. I agree with you, England are a shite team. Excellent players, shite team.
Ok Noodle, fine! You have some good players..ok. But what is to have good players and not a good team, it's like someone with a supercomputer and not knowing how to use it. Doesnt' do you any good! And I have yet to see since I was born, a british team who wowed me and that's my point.
Actually correction, I shouldn~t say a british team since I don't follow England's soccer championships, but national british team I mean that go on the World Cups.
Lots of British women own massive pink cars and only ever speak to their butler/chauffeur.
Us brits aren't afraid to lose, infact we almost prefer it. Which is why we suck sometimes. It's a quality we have called (gracefull losers) or something, well i made that phrase up but it's similar.
1. I made up the word as well as the phrase, Gracefull means the same as Graceful.
2. Keep in mind my topic about picking up on spelling mistakes, I don't like it because i TRY to spell correctly when i can. We are all human and language chages all the time anyway. 'Your' will probably become an alternative to 'You are' given enough time.

also i know it was a joke. That is not a rant,

I'll choose 3, and I hope not for the second.
Anyway yeah, I normally don't point out spelling but it's all j/k anyway.
Pointing and laughing at spelling mistakes on the internet is lame. It's like pointing and laughing at someone in RL for mispronouncing a word. Makes me wanna hit them.
On topic, English football isn't entirely bad. It's just the stars, coaches and managers who are selfish and evil. If they just tried to work together a bit more, they'd be a great team. A retching Beckham and groin-stomping Rooney did nothing for England's chances. With the star-centred manager/coaches relying on both of them (despite the metatarsal thing and Beckham's bad performance last Euro Cup), instead of the rest of England's good players, I expected them to lose as soon as they ran up against Portugal.
Now if the English coaches/managers decided to give the other reserve players a chance, like what Italy and Germany did with their stars, they would have a decent chance up there...

Agree up to a point, but in reality all the countries in the WC were guilty of over-cautious football which relied too heavily on outrageously good passes from star players which never materialised.
Two things I fucking hate... Sport and 'patriots'. The only good thing about football is watching these grown "men" cry when 'their' team loses. Fucking silly pricks. I propose packed football stadiums get nuked Diminish those with low mentality in one fell swoop.

Noodle, you're only bitter because of my blatant superiority. It's OK, I understand.

Novasoft, People don't deserve to die just because they support their team in football.
The only reason i didn't get upset is because i know England always go to penatlies and lose. So i just accepted the fact we would lose when it went to extra time.
Heh, sorry AndyUK, I retract my statement. However, I did find it pathetic that a bunch of Scots were cheering for Portugal to win against England in some wank pub I had the misfortune of stumbling into...
And to think, they once fought alongside each other in the War!
Yep, that's comradery and unity!

Yea, some people do the tendencies on talking out of their butthole...it's like a condition or something, so it deserves to just be ignored. Not to make fun of the less fortunate.
