Yeah, sucks. I was hoping that the US would get past Germany, maybe then real football would become more popular over there... :(

Royal Britannia....:( :( :(

Ahh well, Brazil were just the better team, although England should have been able to score once Ronaldinho was sent off. Oh well, bring on Euro 2004. I am worried that the tabloids will scapegoat Seaman as the reason why we lost.

Does anyone else think that Rivaldo has turned into a really dirty player?

Ah well, no big loss. Wasn't even anticipating to get this far. Good Omen indeed. As for Brazil, I suppose that when the majority of them retire from football they'll always be able to get a job as soap opera ACTORS. Ahem.

I don't. David Beckham's dives (both of them) were ridiculous. He should have gotten a yellow card for that.

English  Not British - don't lump us and the Welsh in with that lot.  we're crap, but proud of it :).   I nearly shook the foundations when Brazil equalised, not to mention at the 50 and 90 minute mark.

:D ;7

Not a cats chance in hell of me ever supporting England, especially after the way Radio 5 reacted after the match - their whole post-match assessment was based on bad-mouthing Brazil, calling them a mediocre (:eek:) team of cheats, divers and time-wasters.

Oh, and Ahn Jung Woo (?), the player released by Perugia, has been linked with just about every club in Scotland - his agent said he would be talking to not only the Old Firm, but also to the likes of Dundee United.  Of course, his agent is Scottish.

Oh, and Italian Tv company Rai (?) is thinking of suing FIFA over the refereeing decisiosns against Italy :lol:

Oh.....




Hehe.  Sorry, couldn't resist.  after all, it's not often a Scottish fan gets to celebrate, is it?

As badly as England is taking the loss, it's still nowhere near as bad as the Italians reaction. They just can't accept that they lost because they're ****.

At least one good thing came out of Englands loss; Namely having hundreds of pictures of fine ass, scantilly clad Brazillian women bouncing up and down on the news all day. :D;7

'Tis true.  The England fans on the radio (I watched the game on the tV, and listened to the post match on the radio whilst playing ISS :D ) seemed to take it well...it was the pundits that were embarrassing themselve, by the aforementioned Brazil-bashing.  Luckily, it means I can now go and safely buy a new Brazil shirt,seeing as my 1992 vintage one is just a wee bit tatty :D

Here in the States, we're taking the loss to Germany really well. The US-Germany was so close, it could have turned on a dime at any second of the game. We lost several possible goals by only a few feet.

Still, we made Germany earn that win. And we're all pretty happy about how we did in the World Cup. I mean, who would have thought that the USA would stay in the game longer than Mexico, France and Argentina? As I recall, all three of those countries took their losses hard (for good or ill). As for us, yeah, we're out, but the US team fought tooth and nail to stay in as long as they did.

We're proud of our team. I don't think Mexico, France and Argentina can say the same thing. All three of those countries were really upset at losing so soon, especially Mexico since they lost to their arch-rival, the United States. (I think they're still pissed about losing Texas to us also. Hey, we didn't take it, Santa Ana lost it! :p :cool: :D )

Too bad about England, too. USA and England were the two teams I was rooting for in the Cup; now that they're both out, I don't really have anyone to root for anymore.

And just for the fact that I'm an Argentine-American, I refuse to root for the Brazil team (bunch of arrogant bastards, they are).

On the other hand, maybe I could start rooting for Senegal.... ;7 :p ;)
