England vs USA

[AngryOfTuebrook]

If you didn't watch tonight's* Daily Show with John Stewart, make sure you get it on replay, or whatever. John Oliver's report from the US training camp is boss. Unfortunately, I can't get it on YouTube or anything.

 

(* Thursday's show, if you're in America, obviously.)

 

And if you've never watched it and you don't know John Oliver, here's an introduction.

John Oliver's World Cup Trip For 'Daily Show' A Dream

"He keeps a signed jersey from his favorite team, Liverpool, hanging in his Comedy Central office."

[Faustus]

Personally, I just can't see America beating England tomorrow. I can see them making it uncomfortable for them, but I can't see them winning. 3-2 Gerrard last goal is the bet I might stick on.

[Red Phoenix]

Damn, the daily show seems brilliant, would love to have seen that. Have seen clips on youtube and am sure it used to play on the site before, but now it's just not available outside the US by the looks of it.

 

Guh, just noticed they're owned by Viacom. They're a nightmare for getting stuff taken off youtube all the time and badly annoying.

[Jokerman]

Think it will be a draw, England don't tend to start tournaments hitting the ground running and the US will cause them a lot of problems I think. I can't remember the guy's name, the striker who got injured in a car crash, but he looked quality in the Confederations Cup last year and if he was there he could have been dangerous for England, but with Altidore supporting Dempsey, ultimately I don't think they have enough quality to beat England. If anyone can find the Daily Show bits on it, that'd be great.

[RobbieOR]

Draw it will be. Neither team wants to lose their first game.

 

USA USA USA USA USA.

[WaltonRed]

England will win.

[robbiefowler9]

England win, but it won't be pretty. I reckon there'll be one goal, most likely 1-0.

[Red Phoenix]

Ok, I badly, badly loathe viacom after all the songs they blocked from my youtube favourites, so have found the way past the block. For those interested :

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - 4oD - Channel 4

 

Oliver's segment is right after the break (the white line on the timer). Loads of ads to cope with though.

 

oh RP beat me to it.

Hah, it's probably about as quick actually because of the ads on the channel 4 site. Nice one for finding that though.

 

edit : Just watched it, awesome stuff.

It'll be a repeat of 1776 with an American win against the Redcoats.

Needed the Red Man onside. They may well have but virgin soil epidemics and the curse of fire: the firewater and firearm.

 

 

Not too good on my Yankee history but the Louisana Purchase, nicking Alaska for a song from the Ruskies and the policy of Manifest Destiny shaped the world from 1776 on.

 

Throw in a bit of slavery, Oppenheimer splitting atoms, the invention of ground cow between buns a bit of cheese, John Belushi's famous words---'My advice to you is to start drinking heavily', and someone finally figuring out that all those Mexicans will work for pittance and Bingo! you have superpower.

Hopefully some redneck shoots Rooney

You forgot to mention George Bush's Grandad funding the Nazi's during WW2, The CIA running drugs in exchange for weapons (Olly North) The Gulf of Tonkin episode, The US army openly admitting to protecting the opium crop in Afganistan, The Federal reserve (which is about as Federal as Fed ex, a for profit private bank) engineering the global collapse of the moneymarkets.

 

But most disgusting of all............ Tom Hicks & George Gillet.

I think this one is even...we were the biggest merchants in slavery in the world at one point, especially Liverpool

Fuck, yeah. If the ref was Ghanaian or something, he'd be revenge-carding every bastard from both sides.

[ODZ]

This game is going to be great. The Americans are a very solid team, which they've shown in the Federation's cup a year ago. An England win isn't trivial.

[RafaLaBamba]

1-0 England, with the goal most likely coming from a Landon Donovan OG. You heard it here first!

That may be the case but the Fatfuck hails from Croxteth, soz mate.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I have to say, I'm really looking forward to the game later. I've got the family coming over, then we're all going out to my mate's house where he has a massive marquee with an HD projector. He's the BBQ king, so we'll be well fed. England games are much better when it's part of a party type atmosphere.

Are you not a vegetarian?

 

Would have thought BBQs were a bit rubbish for you.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I cannot wait, I'd absolutely love to see us go and win 3-0 it's well within our grasp, Crouchy would have to play a big part in the game for it to happen though and he won't, 1-0 England.
