I'm telling you, man, the Ivory Coast is where it's at.Another dire performance from England. Crouch needs to stop pretending he's van Basten and actually get a grip with what he can and can't do. At least we're through. Whether we deserve it or not is another matter entirely.
No we don't. However, playing long ball to Owen will never work. Owen thrives on balls played to his feet, where he can use his skill to turn his marker and create openings. Sven's tactics do not suit Owen at all and if he'd been on the field when Lennon and Downing were played I think he would have scored. The Rooney effect lasted all of 5 minutes and after that you barely saw him - it was Lennon and Downing who made the difference, not Rooney. They should have brought width onto the field first - it was clear after half an hour that going through them wasn't working. However, we are through and at the moment that's what counts. But if we continue to play like this though we'll be coming home after the first knockout match, regardless of who we meet. -------------------- Hail Santa...

Angola - Mexico 0-0! What an exciting game!  This is exactly what i mean. Football is really boring as hell and the only reason people go so crazy when there is a score is because..."Yeaaaaaaaa! There was a Goal! Finally!..." The whole field should be reduced by 2 Meters on the sides and 3 on the ends. This would increase the chances of scorring...and thus the Goals.
Also...as Knick says...no more of those wimpy fall-downs.
Hockey has penaltys against faking a trip or check. Football should too. I just think it would be more exciting to see a game that is 10-3 or even 5-4 (or whatever) than the constant 0-0 or 1-0 scores.
I am doing my best to really like this sport, but its hard to when they wont let them fight either.
I would love to see full-contact Football. Tackle and beat the shit out of the guy with the ball. Now THAT would be something!  TODAY's MATCHES: Portugal - Iran.
Just to be a thorn to Mr. Portugal on here, i will cheer for Iran. GO IRAN GO!!! hehe Czech Republic - Ghana.
I will of course cheer for Czech. Italy - U.S.A.
This is a no-brainer. Italy will stomp the Amerikans (and all theyre extra security) by the score of 20-0. Ok, maybe 19-0. hehe Oh...and BTW... GO TOGO GO!!! WIN TOGO WIN!!!
