World Cup 2010

[oafc0000]

Rooney scored

3-0

[oafc0000]

He's daft for getting so wound up over a meaningless friendly, but he's probably the only one who gives a shit. That's why he was so wound up in the Japan game - no-one else looked bothered.

Take that passion away from him, and he's not the same player. I don't think he's a w**ker. Foolish, undoubtedly, but the guy cares. I wish others cared as much as he does.

Oh - I'd trust the BBC more, but this is from Skysports.com:

where is your favourite england fan today anyway? he has been absent. i'm sure he'd be poking fun at you for being happy that england are playing well

[oafc0000]

Cole is playing right up with the forwards... Pretty much a 4-3-3.... He looks good

[oafc0000]

Game over... Overall a good run out...

anyone know if fabiano is playing for brazil? had robinho in my team and have replaced him with fabiano.

friendlies annoy me, they make me change my mind all the time!

[Kowalski]

Anyone else think there should be two world cup threads?

One to discuss the football, and this one for oaf to repeat all the BBC text updates?

[Budweiser]

Wtf is with those f**king horns.

God!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE SO ANNOYING.

[oafc0000]

Apparently it wouldn't be a South African football experience without them. Bullshit. I bet it's all part of a South African conspiracy; the team have had special ear implants that cancel out the frequency of the horns, leaving all the other teams distracted.

THREE NIL!

THREE NIL!

THREE NIL!

THREE NIL!

On a slightly more serious matter, why in a match between North Korea and Nigeria were the latter put in charge of security? And why hold an unticketed football match five days before the World Cup begins? Make tickets free by all means, but just letting people go in through a floodgate was asking for trouble.

Germany at 14/1 is a great price, I fancy them to win it.

Would still like to see England win it though.

anyone know if fabiano is playing for brazil?

[ampersand]

Yeah he is.

Robinho, Luis Fabiano, Nilmar, Grafite

He was Brazil's top scorer in qualifying and second top overall.

I saw the Lightning Seeds on Saturday.

I was singing "Rio's coming home, Rio's coming home, Rio's coming home..."

Ian Brody meanwhile was singing .... well, actually, he wasn't singing, out-of-tune squawking is about right. I don't think I've ever heard such well-known tunes done so badly before. Yes, even worse than Primal Scream at their worst.

I've decided to take that squawking as an omen. England will perform as well as Brodie sings.

and makes my world cup game on xbox a tad silly when both pato and ronaldinho are starters.

[Langdale Wolf]

i know he's in the squad, and i know he'll be first pick, i meant was he playing yesterday when robinho scored (at least) twice.

Just trying to find the United States' likely starting lineup for Saturday.

This is who started against Turkey:

Tim Howard

Carlos Bocanegra, Clarence Goodson, Jonathan Spector, Jay DeMerit

Landon Donovan, Ricardo Clark, Michael Bradley, Clint Dempsey

Benny Feilhaber, Jozy Altidore

Dunno how telling that is. Does Beasley not start for them anymore?

he doesn't even start for rangers anymore. i think he makes way for kyle lafferty. make of that what you will.

[ampersand]

What Scottish football does for a once promising talent...

[Cardboard Box City]

I think Onyewu will start for them at centre half.
