England - Paraguy 1:0

First 10 minutes were to bad for Paraguay. Second part of the game, Paraguay played much better. An 1:1 would be fairer

England were poor second half and made some rubbish substitutions, that referee was terrible too!

I'm not sure what you are referring to... :oops:


@ nepi: Yes, a tie would have been a much fairer result. Neither England nor Paraguay deserved to win. Too bad about Villar (Paraguay's keeper). I really like him; I know him well because he plays in Argentina. I hope he gets better soon, but Bobadilla is a good keeper too.

England played like shit.
Paraguay did the same thing (The got better in the 2nd period though)
Neither of them deserved to win. They both sucked really bad!!!!

I didn't watched the Swe-Tri game.

I think Argentina was lucky.

And no offence but I REALLY hope Mexico will loose to-morrow, that way, they'll know that they're not the best. 'Cuz I don't know if it is like that all over the world, but here, Univison and Telemundo are driving me crazy, EVERYTHING is Mexico, Mexico is the best, Mexico is this, that. Mexico is crap. I want them to loose.

(No offence intended, I'm not pissed off at the Mexican ppl, more to the 2 stations...and Fox. Wink )

NO TIME TO RELAX NOW! :D

I yelled and cursed at the players and the coach for the whole 90 minutes. I can't believe the substitutions the coach made!!! He's retarded! We have Tévez, Messi and Aimar, and he puts Palacio and Lucho González... In the end we ended playing with only one forward... and a bad one: Palacio!! :x

We? Oh, so now you are Dutch? :D I know you cheer for Holland, but aren't you still Welsh? :)
Btw, I wanted to ask you about England. I know Scots don't like England at all and they always cheer for England's rivals. What's Wales' attitude towards England? :)

I have been a holland supporter most of my life, they are the team that mainly got me into liking football.

As for welsh supporting england... I think it's kind of 50/50. Half will support them because England is part of the Brittish isles. The other half kind of hate them with the same passion as the scottish do. I am not the latter, I will cheer them on(when they are not playing Holland of course ;) )

What are you talking about?!? Are you a Boca fan? Palacio is a horrible player. I think he used the left shoe in his right foot... He fell down like three times on his own! Palacio can't do much because he sucks, not because the others were tired. :D You don't watch football too often, do you? :lol:

wrong and right

I'm A River fan!
I don't watch football too often :D but that wa smy impression

In the match against the Arg sub 20, Palacio played pretty amazing.


What do you think of a possible Messi-Saviola playing together? too much luxury? I think theyr'e the best players, and if they play together it will be like cheating!

I don't like soccer too but if you lived in Brazil, you just can´t ignore world cup. Streets are decorated, people are wearing the colours of the flags, even the workplace rules change. It is really the soccer country.
And just so to tell, I am supporting Argentina as I always did since I was a little kid. Yes, gonna be officially killed by brazilian strato fans... :lol:
