I know I'm good, why try to deny it?

Actually, business has been kind of slow lately, so I was just trying to give it a boost...

We can't drink all that shine ourselves, you know. alright we can but it's more fun with company.

As do most England fans

Owen and Beckham are England - the rest have proved to be replaceable. 8 substitutes yesterday!! that is bizarre!

@Karembeu: You should create a new "football thread World Cup Special", you know...

Weasel is moving house so is Waverly, I believe.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo
No WK football thread! Since we (The Netherlands) aren't going, it will not be the same.

Of course! You've got beaten by Irish! (yes, it's my intention to use green)

LOL @ Minerva. I used to be a great fan of Team Oranye (I think that's how they spell in Dutch). But their "total football" play are keep degrading after the "Milan Trio" era

Rob-hin · Post by **Rob-hin** » Wed May 22, 2002 10:21 am

Team Oranye

It's oranje

Well, our players are pretty good, some amongst the best of the world. But they are all bought away from Holland. So, some play in Italy, Great Brttain (a lot of Dutch players there!) and spain etc. None of them are used to playig "our" way anymore. Besides, they are spoiled brats. They think they are soooooooo great... pff
But they won't get any attention this WK so interst in them might decrease, perhaps they will get a kick back into this reality because of this.

Seeing that this thread has been hijacked for the World Cup, it seems that CNNSi.com has picked Italy to be the overall champion as well as offering some other prognostications. Being an American, I don't have much of an interest in soccer, er, football, but I was wondering what you guys had to say about this.

@HLD: I don't think Karembeu would mind talking about football in his thread.

Mind youl, he's already got one football thread, actually.

Here in UK, it seems France and Argentine (surprise, surprise) are the main favourites. England has a chance if they can reach the knock-out stage, and that's a quite big if.

Rob-hin · Post by **Rob-hin** » Wed May 22, 2002 10:41 am

I just stopped caring.

ROFL

Was it that bad? I didn't see the match, but I was surprised by the result...maybe the English side viewed is more as a warm-up.

Count me in

*looks around to ensure Karembeu doesn't hear me* I actually like Nigerias style, they are much more fun to watch than the boring and mediocre Swedish team...

*runs again*

@CE: nigeria rule! they do much better than people seem to expect, as they're not hyped as much as other teams (over here at least), but are still a good team. actually, the BBC televised the african cup of nations thingy a while ago, and some of those matches were far more enjoyable than the turgid slogging of the top european teams.
