    So then Bill Clinton leans over and whispers something into Platinis ear and Algeria have a man sent off.

    Shennanigans!

    His job and reputation were on the line, so I don't begrudge him a little celebration at this point! :cool:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    How I look forward to Germany thrashing this more than useless English team, I think the Germans will destroy them about 4 or 5 nil. Ireland would have beaten England well today had we met them and it was good enough for Slovenia who were happy enough to be beaten as the Americans and Algerians played a stalemate.

    I am glad America scored not only because it allows Germany to thrash England :pac: but it is also knocked out those hapless Slovenians who could have defeated this english team if they wanted to, Donovan wrecked them in injury time and it suits them right.

    Fingers crossed we get an England v Germany tie!

    Great to see the USA through instead of Slovena, was able to watch both games at the same time, priceless looking at the Slovenia team knowing they were not yet aware of the USA goal

    Germany need to beat (not draw with) Ghana, don't get too cocky yet. Its been an "interesting" world cup, it could get more interesting yet!

    Jaysus christ, is anyone watching the bbc coverage?

    The combination of alan shearer & alan hansen's boring mono-tone voices & stone faced expressions makes me appreciative of rte's panel.

    And they're complimenting england as if they just played a great game??:D:rolleyes:

    The usual manic depressive episodes of support tbh. It's amazing what a goal against a terrible team will do to people

    I dont think Germany will beat them 5-0, 2 or 3 - 0 is more realistic a margin.

    Is it my imagination or is dunphy talking out his hole again? Defoe & Millner didn't have a good game...??? whats he talking about?

    In all fairness defoe defoe played well & Millner ran the legs off himself. I'd agree theres something up with rooney, how many times do you see him off target in the penalty area.

    Great one on RTE yesterday too...

    RTE debating the effects of Sony Playstation on the number of kids playing football on the streets in Europe compared to South America.

    Ossie : "Yes"

    Dunphy is right. I hear that the scum on BBC were chatting up the team as usual. They can never critiscise themselves. They had a poor game.

    Millner was useless. Normally he's grand for his club but for England he was shíte. He was petrified and was tiring himself out and not getting anything out of it. He didn't make a good pass except for the goal.

    Defoe was probably their best player. Rooney was useless tonight again. Lampard and Gerrard just don't work and it remains that Capello is afraid to leave out one of those two BIG names out of the team. They're "world class" so they must be in the team. :rolleyes:

    Dunphy is right and isn't afraid to speak his mind compared to that tripe on the BBC.

    I think the pundits on bbc are coached / financially encouraged to big up the england team,you can almost see them cringe sometimes when they begin to over the top praise the team
