I like the contrast between the comments from the Adidas sponsored players and the rest.

Goal count is well down on average for the 1st matches anyway.

Bloody cheating Kraut Loughborough students then.

What's your point?

I seem to remember he wouldn't come out for the second half a few years ago when Arsenal were getting beaten 3-0.

Re: World Cup

looks like the refs are anti-American. Would have been nice to seem them come back from 2 goals down to win, but no.

That wouldn't be suprising the way they play it. The point is they decided to follow the international norm unlike the remaining 3 countries.

Half the US team had their hands wrapped around the Slovenian players. It was a clear foul. The US was lucky to get a draw. The US has always delusions of grandeur in footballing terms, must be that they come from such a weak confederation.

Yes, I am sure that the Aussie citizens will start calling it football with the name of their national team being the socceroos. :rolleyes:

It's fine for insular places to use parochial names like the "S" word.
