Kind of an arrogant point of view.

Maybe it's because they finished top of their group, knocking out Nigeria in the process.

The fact that they are here should be applauded not belittled by people like you.

Not many non-European teams can play like that bar Argentina.

Bit harsh bro, same could've been said about Trinidad until yesterday. In actual fact the only team that's not there on merit is Germany.

Portugal's players disgust me. Watching Ronaldo falling down while his eyes try and locate the Ref pisses me off. Cheating panses. I'd kick him in the balls while he lay on the ground. "Now you've got something to cry about you wee ****er."

Diving pisses me off. Cheating. Plain and simple.

Tell us how you really feel. Don't be shy.

On a side note Why the F is the USA game banished to ESPN 2 tomorrow. The game should be on ABC, or ESPN at least. It about pride of the nation. F Disney!!!!!

Because ESPN needs to make sure people see Sportscenter for the 8th time and ABC can't let people miss their soap operas.

Welcome to Argentinian soccer. With the exception of yesterday's game, that's all they do. Beckham's (when he was actually good) red card in 98 was BS. Beckham should had kicked Simeone right in the nutsack and got his money's worth out of that redcard.

I agree, my boss was going to put the TV on so we could watch the US game till we realised it was on ESPN2 thus we couldn't get a signal. Grrrr!

I should say something... but I won't, because it's pretty obvious that you have absolutely no idea what the hell you're talking about.

Do you know why Borrachos del Tablon have leadership of the Argentina fans? I noticed their banner was right behind the goal and that´s telling me something. Also thought it was interesting to see that some of them wore River tops and they had some River flags with them. I thought that was a big no no.

Should be 3 fairly competitive games today, Italy seem the most overrated team at the finals, although they managed to dismantle the Germans last week, they still underperform.

Sure it would be silly to totally overlook them, but i think Ghana may give them a solid game today and give a good account of themselves like the other smaller nations thus far.

As for the US - i have them to qualify for the second round at the expense of Italy in this group.

elsid13 · 06-12-2006, 03:11 AM

Looks like a long lunch today. GO USA!!!!!

He didn't need to jump Bob because the ball was well within reach until that wee coke addict handled it.

I´ve found the US at 4.7 .... means you get 470 back (incl stake) for 100

UKBronco · 06-12-2006, 06:53 AM

Decimals, pah.

US are priced at a 7/2 best with BetDirect - who accept US betters.

So for 100 you'll win $350.
