not true, its a pretty simple song and everyone in the Stadium knew the words.

wowee!! There's sure a lot to read!

Anyhow, Italy being out certainly made things... i dunno... more interesting. Come on, Senegal is in the quarterfinals (is that how you call them in english) and england and germany are going to play against each other. Boy, I'm gonna sit a lot behind the TV the next week. :nod:

Isn't there also the orchestral crescendo bit where people go a bit higher pitched and sing "muh-muh-muh-muh muuuuuuh muuuh muuuuh muhhhh muh-muh..." ?

I still prefer other National Anthems. The words to the French one are pretty cool, just on the grounds of being pretty much nonsense. And is the German one still Deutschland über Alles? I liked that too. :)

Still, obligatory Kellan-bashing of nations follows...blah blah blah. The End.
I'm OK. How are you?

I thought it was the USA going up against Germany. Now THAT should be an interesting match. ;7

I don't think ANYONE expected the USA to beat Mexico. Most people who heard about that were like: :jaw:

While the Mexican people were like: :o :(

And I was like: :cool: ;7 :D :ha:

God, I love these expressive smilies! :nod:

If it is USA vs Germany on Friday, who's playing England? Is it Senegal or someone else? And if it really is England vs Germany, who's playing against the States?

Dodgy...I reckon Tottis reputation preceeded him.

See what Perugia did to the golden Goal scorer?  Sacked him! :eek:

Their chairman said something along the lines of " he's ruined Italian football", "he was perfect for South korea against Italy but never for us (Perugia) in Italy" and "he'll never set foot in Perugia again"

so, not bitter then.

Dumb-arse chairman..... it's probably best for the player though - imagine the abuse he'd get if he played.  I doubt he'll be short of offers....well, from outside Italy that is :D

Kinda gives the Italians a poor image... Although if he went back to Italy, I'm sure some rioters would want to kill him or something... Well, anyway, if hes a really good striker I'm sure another club somewhere else will take him:D
