Italy - USA

[madstock]

Sorry, 10 v 9 ... ouch ...

Powerplay Italians now.

[Stu Monty]

Told you.

 

First yellow was for nothing and that second one there was even one he might have got away with if not for the theatrics.

[wiiksie]

I thought the same; nothing of it in real time but nasty on the replay.

 

Toni and Gilardinho will get one of those centre-backs sent-off before the night is out, you can put money on that. Despite almost removing their shirts in every challenge they are diving around at the feintest touch to get them bookings.

 

Be calling you Madame Monty soon :whistle:

You mean you don't already?

[Gav]

I thought that was harsh when I first saw it, but on seeing the replay... well, I've seen them walk for less. Could have broken his ankle quite easily.

 

he could've been booked 3or 4 times prior to that as well

[wiiksie]

You mean you don't already?

:D

 

what else can you see in your crystal ball(s) stu?

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

McBride you twat!!!

Really hope USA take this. 3p to every team in taht group before the last roud would be ace. They've opened well and looks well fired up. Italy actually looks a bit caught by their opening, hope they get a goal before the match evens out.

yeah me too. hope in the end czechs and ghana go through couldn't bear the yanks going through. this is the one of the few tournaments we dont have to put up with them winning.

What other sports do the americans win at? You can't class include basketball and am. football et all because nobody outside of the states plays them. I suppose they're decent at golf but bar that I can't think of any major sport that Americans rule at.

That's why they make their own up.

Athletics is one. They've been pretty good at tennis for a while too.

[Narsil]

To be fair they're pretty good at Boxing

[dave u]

USA's right back was ace I thought.

[MLB]

I wanted the yanks to win that. The Italians did my head in with their play acting and general poncing around. The second American goal should have stood too because that rule is fucking ridiculous.

[Dirk]

Said the same to my brother. Ice Hockey is the only team sport they've taken to which they didn't invent. America prefers to lead the way rather than be led.

[MLB]

Also, I thought Landon Donovan looked really good, but I can't really tell what kind of player he is. He seems to play quite well everywhere without ever looking completely at home, like a better version of Le Tallec or something. I reckon he might do well in the Prem too, actually.

Athletics doesn't count either. Take away sprinting and long jumps and the Americans are below average. Also, I don't really class atheltics as a sport. You're either fast or not - in which case you cheat. Not really any strategy or skill involved in running around a track. Dogs do it for fucks sake.

 

Any they're not good at tennis; they're good at women's tennis. Tennis is a yuppy sport too so it doesn't count again. Boxing doesn't count either because it just doesn't.

What? Even though it flicked the laces of McBride? You are certifiable mate.

 

A McBride goal in a 2-1 loss to Ghana will do me fine.

[spider-neil]

bloody italians couldn't keep a clean sheet for my fantasy team. 6 points down the drain :wallbutt:

They're pretty good at hockey. And Basketball. I guess those doesn't count for some reason though.

Didn't look like it touched him at all to me.

[Stu Monty]

You get my point though surely; it was about two inches away from him so how on earth is he not active when he has to step out the way of it?

[Nick Leeson]

that's right. Because no important countries are interested in them.

Finland just called; they said to tell you they'll 'ave you.
