I wish someone would tell Gabriel Egan that the USA are in fact playing Ghana, not the entire continent of Africa. He must have called them "Africa" at least 4 or 5 times at this stage.

Gabriel Egan is a third rate commentator.

That was a reference to the Ghanan team profile most of them are young, several having played in the FIFA U-20 World Cup last year which they won.

Bill mentioned that last night, he said everybody was gathered in the studio expecting England last night.

Dunphy reckons Argentina have not got a chance, considering some of his predictions I wish I had stuck more on them.:D

Paparazzo

Giles STILL going on about Scholes!

LOUL Ossie on the beer with the lads singing "My Way."

Love it.

Ah boy the Oz. Great man for a session I reckon.

Eamo: England are like an ex-girlfriend, you like to drop in to see how they're doing, but you never want to see them doing well!

In case you don't realise lordgoat, that has an alternative reference which I'm sure George did not intend

Id say he meant it alright, probably been practising the line since Christmas. I do think it was good though - very alan partridge

ITV are just hilarious.

When Juan's header went in they called it a 'very British goal' and when the second goal went in they barely commented on the nice move by Brazil and finish by Fabiano and instead talked about the brilliant decision by the English linesman Darren Kant not to give offside and how great he'd been all tournament

Yeah but...!

Never mind the Sony competition, If the prize was a night out in Lilies with the Panel I'd be jamming the phonelines.

Eamon Dunphy was absolutely pissing himself there!

He was trying to suggest because they have no flair, they have no good players, and they won't win.

10 minutes of the lads proving him conclusively wrong ensued, then the quote from above.

Bloody brilliant!

Giles had "the hump" because the other two were after being talking to him during the match, and they basically took everything he's been saying off camera, and passes it off as their own analysis
