Boring to the fans of the team that scored 0 maybe.

based on what I have seen until now, this might be the best goal of the World Cup so far. [/b]

was a great, great goal.....nice to see Spain finally living up to their potential

Ecuador trying to go 2-0, up 1-0 on mighty Costa Rica.

I just saw a chart of the first half shots on goal in the England game.  It seems like there are alot of missed shots from pretty close, is this true or am I just reading the chart wrong. Probably is making for an exciting game if true.....But still 0-0 after 47 minutes.

FINALLY!

[brennser]

yeah, maybe this will be the kick up the arse england need - they were 9 minutes away from complete humiliation.....scoreline does not do T&T justice

[stu47]

maybe england was believing the we need to blow this team out hype...there were at least a couple balls if crouch had settled before shooting they would have scored on

[Frank Gallagher]

Well, England have 6 points from a possible 6......Sure, they aren't playing to their full potential, but they should start to get in the swing of things in the next round, (they'd better!!) and I don't hear you lot bitching about 'wonderful Brasil' and their lethargic first outing, and what's going on with chubby ronaldo?
 
 As for T&T, they were playing the 10 man defence system, and it's always going to be hard to score the 20 goals Rob Gee is looking for against that.

Just got this from the bbc website.
 
 
 Tesco said sales of Caribbean food and drink had soared north of the border as Scots prepared to cheer on Trinidad & Tobago. Buyer Simon Dunn said: "We've seen huge increases in the sale of rum in Scotland by nearly 15% and the sale of mangoes has increased by a staggering 47% in the past two weeks alone."
 
 I suppose sales of fondue sets, cheese and meatballs will soar on tuesday....sad, sad twats in skirts is all they are.
 
 Oh well, I suppose they need to adopt some team seeing as their own is so shite they never qualify to participate in anything.

nice piece - sums up the england situation well

Argentina up 5-0, thats what I'm talking about.  No doubt who the better team is there.

[brennser]

6-0

 That was awsome duuude. 6-0 What a game! Best game of the tournament so far duuude. I love the goals duuuude!!!
 
 
 *reality check*
 
 Now, had Serbia/Montenegro actually shown up for the game instead standing around on the pitch like training cones, the scoreline may have been a little different. I admit that the second goal was a sight to see, but again, if S/M tried to make a tackle or actually marked their men, Arg would probably not have been able to string the 847 passes (or however many it was) together before scoring the goal.
 
 Argentina are serious contenders to win the world cup, but yesterdays game was the worst a team has played in S/M rather than the best in Arg.
