England! Great Result for English Football :D :D :D
-
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
Too bad it was just a penalty shot and not some fancy hat trick. But, all the same. Give it up for Beckham!!!
GGOOAALLLL!!!!!!!!:D
-
Yeah.. I actually saw some of that one..... gg
-
The match was fast and furious and rough. The way football should be.:)
-
I was hoping for a draw...;7
-
Football...meh...
I think the only good thing to come out of this is the possibility that the anti-Argentinian tendencies of some people may abate if they don't have anything recent to hold against them :rolleyes:
-
Should have been at least 2-0, Owen is an unlucky bastard and Sheringham had 2 good shots as well.
One in the eye for the Shefifild, the Argies were apparently claiming revenge for the Falklands on this one so :p :ha:
-
Poor Hargreaves.
-
Hey have you guys seen taht Pepsi commercial something about sumo wrestlers and football. How about that one with the cage? Boy, those are good.
Anyway, I feel sorry for France. They are the last in the group.

I think this illustrates Thunder's above point quite nicely. Yes, the World Cup is an excuse for drunkenness (who needs an excuse?) and cheery xenophobia. Football is better to play than to watch, I find - if you can handle the fact that you're crap. Yes, you. All of you. :lol:
Still, it wasn't a bad match. I think I was kinda obliged to watch it... ;)

Want soccer commercials (Pepsi & Cola)?
I bow for you... (http://www.kicken.com/funnyfiles/www.kicken.com-pepsi.voetbal.mpg)
A briljant cola commercial... (http://www.kicken.com/funnyfiles/www.kicken.com-beckham.pepsi.commercial.mpg)

Pepsi and Cola are the same thing. :D

Eeeeerrrr... It sure doesn't taste the same... I like Cola. I do NOT like Pepsi!
-
You must mean Coca-Cola. Riiiight...
Anyway, they both taste equally crap to me...
-
I thought Cola is just some ingredient that is used in both Coca-Cola and Pepsi? :p :D
And yeah, I also think they taste pretty terrible compared to some other stuff.
-
Sigh :sigh:... didnt take a genious to predict we would see this topic...
Sure you won, but only from a penalty remember.
I think Coka cola and pepsi are trying to acheive similar products, they are just really sugar in the end.

This World cup is just full of surprises. I thought Argentina would win base on how well they've been playing but it looks like england pulled through :)
Still I really dislike that Falklands bull****, it's like the BNP is sponsoring the game :(
-
The Cola comes from the Cola Nut, a common ingredient on both drinks. The difference is that Coke has cocain in it. ;)
okay, so they say it doesn't have it anymore... riiiiight...
And I couldn't watch the game - had to work. Heard it was the best game in the cup up to now, though. Good for England - shame you won't get past us when the time comes (if you reach that far, that is). :D

Zeronet, I'm not sure if Saudi Arabia would fail to beat France on present form. :D

Dont be a doubter or your'll be throw into the sea out of our country, their watching you know.

That pepsi commercial is A1 but it is not the one I ment.
SPOILER
It is the one where some sumo wrestlers come in and well they play football with "amateurs", but it's a very good one.
Well it's a bit funny. When was the last time when sumo wrestlers called pro football players "amateurs"?
-
I know which one you mean but I just put them up for fun. :D

nike commercials the best of the World Cup so far..followed by the Tennents 'Pintlings' one (scotland only, methinks).

Dunno....try the website?
Actually, I'm not sure why you;d want it, but nevermind.

Doubt it, not after seeing pictures of Argentinians burning the English Flag. Seems they cant take it when they lose, especially after Maradona was saying England were terrified of them.

You'd never see that in England...I mean, look at the respect accorded to Germany and Argentina (in particular) in the media.
Er, yeah..........
-
Uh yeah :yes: Everybody in England is the media, just like all the Argentinians are in it too.
-
Meh... so I was trying to be optimistic - humanities stupidity triumphs again. The Argentians involved (assuming the story is true) for being so damn childish about a mere sport. The English for their propoganda and the blatant bashing of the Argentians that is bound to follow. The Media for spreading it about as much as they can for profit.
People suck :)

Well, the media represents your country....... I can't imagine the English like the blatant racism on the BBC and ITV towards Englands opponenets anymore than neutrals do.
That's why I want England to, well, crash and burn. to see the smug patronising smiles wiped off the like of that smarmy bastard Trevor Brooking (amongst others). If the media weren't so annoying, I could probably stoop down to casual indifference.
-
Huh, i thought you were talking about how the media hates England after they lose. What your going on about is total nosense. Commentators get far too exicted when the opposition get on the ball. Still I dont care about the World Cup, winning this match has put a smile on my face, Rule Britiannia! :D
-
hmm.. not a big soccer fan, but it is funny hearing the announcers on telemundo yell
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL"
heh, missed that opportunity in the France vs Uruguay match. Tied.
Soccer: The game where everyone is a winner.

Same old Thunder allways anti-soccer. :wink:
BTW England nad Sweden are going to the seconda round from that group. :D :D
-
Yeah, that was one beautiful game. Would have been even better though, if Beckham hadn't scored with that penalty, then the English would have (most likely) scored on the second half-time, which would have made the match even more interestoing.
I think, I'll go and read the other posts as well.
-
I wathed the game in pub,
there is like nothing like watching an important english match, in a packed english pub - The Atmosphere is great, and when Beckham scored that penalty it was hysterical.
Fantastic result :nod:

Thats one of the reasons the game is so important.

This is precisely why I will never support the Scottish national team again. Just because you can't even qualify for the world cup you have to take out frustrations on the nearest available team. Scotland suck:ha: :ha: :ha:

Its that time again folks!!!
WELCOME TO HLPBB
Exits are to the rear and the left, in case of emergency, shotguns are located under the seats, and if you see a big five-legged insectoid running around in the ventilation ducts, run like hell.

We know we're ****. We just don't care :p Haven't you ever heard Scotland fans?
Obviously, you're either a/ not Scottish, or b/ don't have a Tv which recieves the BBC.
Let me put it like this - Brazil Vs China on the TV.
Immediately after the national anthems, the England match was being talked about - not the 2 teams playing...not to mention numerous other mentions. And then interviewing Shay Given (the Ireland keeper) at half time. What was the first question? "What do you think of England?"
Not a bloody show of respect for the guys own country, who are (more than) well in with a shout. No respect either for other countries - look at Sweded. It took less tahn 6 minutes pre-match for the Tv panel to dismiss Sweden as no-hopers, none of whom would get into the England team.
It's the sort of self centred pish that gets worse when you're close - obviously you've not been aware of the 6+ documentaries over the past week about how the Argentinian team are the scum of the earth and we should all hate them (more or less).
Not to mention the vitriol towards Germany given in the tabloids during the qualifiers and Euro 2000.
One final point - there was a little 'discussion' on the Lennox Lewis / Miike Tyson boxing match on the news....which culminated in (for some obscure reason) the Argentinain fottball team being called the most (for wont of a better word) evil and despicable team of the planet, and England being the saviours of all things sporting and fair. And then the TV replays revealed that Owen did a clean air dive ch for the Argentines being the only cheaters, then..........

You need more practice operating your telephonimatrix. Rut-roh!

Lol, PhReAk, you forgot that some Argentine announcers say this several times, not just once. It goes like this:
First, Argentina scores a goal
Then the announcer takes a deep breath
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL"
Then the announcer takes ANOTHER deep breath
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL"
Then the announcer takes a THIRD deep breath
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL"
Dude, when the announcer says this three times in a row, I always laughed my ass off.
It's probably understandable why Argentines invest so much emotion into their soccer games. Considering that their economy and national finances have gone into the toliet as a result of their international loan default, the Argentines' only point of international pride left was the World Cup games. Now that England beat them again (first the Falkland War, now the World Cup), methinks alot of Argentines are going to be pissed off more than ever.
But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
I was born in Argentina but I live in the States and just became an American citizen a year ago. Seeing Argentine antics since the early 1980s, I'm inclined to either shake my head in exasperation or laugh down my shirtsleeve at most anything that Argentina does. Thank God I live here in the USA. I got REALLY good digs here, much better than I would have back in Argentina.
God bless America! :) ;) :D
-
It's a shame, because Argentina used to be a better country than France.
Wait...no, it used to be a richer country than France. It's still better. :D ;)
Damn useless countries! Look what they make us do!
-
I like Heavy Metal. It lets me bash people senseless/ get bashed senseless without the need for that pointless insulting thing. It's a hella relief.
Just thought I'd mention that before I actually get to the point.
The annoying thing about England is that we seem to be picking up a lot of the USA's less admirable traits- the style of television, the competitivness between companies and electorial campaigns are merely a few examples that don't even touch on the media.
The problem is however, that anybody who is too patriotic here is thought to be a racist (or a member of the British National Party... no... wait... it's the same thing. Bit like Santa and Satan ;)).
Football is one of the few things left that people can take pride in and not be called racist, plus it's also the favorite sport in this country. That says it all really- the OTT media is merely trying to pander to the audience, and in the competetivness they try to out do each other.
The exception to this is the BBC, they tend to maintain a unbiased view on things... well, the News does at any rate.
Anyways, just a coupla thoughts.
-
I just watch football for the sake of the game and for the country.
Its great to walk around town after an England victory, and hearing
"ENGLAND! ENGLAND!" and stuff like that and seeing St. George Flags everywhere,
I just dont pay attention to the the rascism, media, and violence. It justs brings the game down.

Guess what, the replays showed Owen got TRIPPED. :ha: :ha: :ha:
-
You see on proper quality broadcasting like the BBC they showed it from ANOTHER ANGLE!
From the front it looks like a dive, but the back clearly shows a trip.
-
Actually, it's been descriubed in the newspapers as a clear dive from replays - so it ain't just me.
Like the BBc would honestly admit an english player cheated, anyway.
-
So your using this evil media to prove your point eh? Well from another angle its a trip. You see, he stuck his leg out infront of owen, it doesnt really matter whether he actually touched Owen or not.
-
BBC is unbiased. Well... At least the news is. I don't watch much TV anymores.

By that logic, then any attempted tackle must be a foul.
-
aldo I know you've got a sore spot for the british media but give it up man :) English fans (any fans for that matter) are going to automatically see their home country in the best light they can.
On RTE (english translation: radio television Ireland) they do comedy sketches of Des lynam with Gazza and Terry venebals. The general run of the sketch yesterday was "So Terry, David Beckham. Best striker in the world? Terry profusely agrees, then it moves on to "Terry, David Seaman. Best Goalkeeper in the world? Yet again Terry agrees wholeheartedly with Gazza nodding and putting on a mental accent all the time. The point is that it wouldn't be so funny if they didn't get on like that all the time.
The fact that the british media will totally screw the country over when it'll make a fast buck (or pound in this case) should tell you that you can't believe them at all.
On a more positive note I'm glad Ireland is doing so well, we are unlikely to win the tournament but the team never gives up without a fight :nod:

I don't think you can say any news program is unbiased...
-
No really, if you see it from all 3 angles they have recorded, 2 of them you can see contact, it wasnt a dive. Admitedly it wasnt much contact but still........
-

nope, he was tripped, so by my logic, tripping someone is a foul.
-
You should be careful on this line of discussion, it's very well known that Michael Owen has an astounding affinity for the ground, not quite as amazing as Rivaldo though.
Owen goes down faster than a female of low moral character.
-
Don't Ireland only have to win 2-0 to go through? And England have got to beat Nigeria don't they?
-
Owens light, he gets thrown around easaly, thats why they pair him with big fat man Heskey, its little and large.
And England have to draw to go through, if they loose they have to score i think 2 goals to beat sweden on goal difference.
-
Yeah you're right, Ireland needs a two goal victory margin to progress to the final sixteen teams (here's hopin' :) ).
It is notable that Ireland usually have a one goal victory margin when they win. If we play one quarter as well as germany did (i.e. 2-0) against Saudi Arabia then it'll be great. :nod:
