The Italians will be in full retreat shortly then.

Lumper, your routine in highschool had to be better than that, surely? His routine in high school only happened once, then he got his head kicked in until the next smart ass inbred got out of line, hence why he finds the need and enjoy to continue his high school antics (as he himself professed) on...

I thought Milner did OK. Different to Lennon but he deserves to keep his place. Tough call at CB, slow old Carra or Upson? Upson didn't do enough to get ahead of Carra IMO but Carra has hardly been outstanding. Them old Liverpool rose-tinted specs still going then? Upson was good and should keep hi...

Well, we're through. No nails left but we're there. The only positives that I can take from the group is we only conceded one goal and that was a grenache up by Green, so we look fairly solid, and at last Capello seems to have realised that Donkey is not worth playing. Against that, Barry, Lampard, ...

Oh Lord, he's put bottle of shiraz Heskey on. WTF is Capello thinking? England were very poor really. James and the defence played OK, but Barry gave the ball away way too often, Lampard and Rooney were anonymous and Milner drifted in and out of the game. Hung onto the ball too long in general and p...

does it come down to drawing lots between england and the yanks?

Yanks have scored 3 already so no is the answer. USA would go through.

Where? Haven't noticed.

How the shiraz do these two clowns get a job commenting on football. No bottle of shiraz idea. They reckon England are playing like champions

Rooney and Lampard both having a poor game so far with Barry not far in front. Milner started badly but seems to have played his way in. Still a little ponderous going forwards but at least we've got our noses in front.

How the shiraz did Gerrard miss?

it 's not in reference to vegetables, it just rhymes with a vegetable dish. It was designed as a way for east London market traders to commuincate without the police knowing what they were talking about. The only link to vegetables is the fact that squeak rhymes with greek. so the local london mark...

Stick to netball darling

This is an emotional 'no-one-wins' topic. It can be argued that if you work, study and have your home here, let alone were born here, you should barrack for OZ. But then again, when OZ comes up against the country of your parents' heritage.... It can also be argued we're not a nation - we're an eco...

Rumour is that Defoe will replace Donkey and Milner will replace Lennon. At least Capello's moving in the right direction.

Now Col, in some matters you exhibit a modicum of intelligence, so I'm going to assume you are just being deliberately obtuse in order to be argumentative, and refrain from being drawn in. I'll leave you to consider the alternative...... :wink: Of course im deliberately being obtuse, however, its f...

So let me get this right just for the record. Its not ok to call an English man a "pom" because its insulting, but its ok to call a Greek a bubble" in reference to a "vegetable" but thats not insulting??? Oh, you people are special, truly you are. Thats so hypocritical it a...

nuthing wrong with POM from my point of view either.. do u object to being called a POM? and please explain to the rest of us how bubble rhymes with Greek?

Greece wont go through anyway as Sth Korea have hit the lead, so Greece need to win at least 3 nil to get their goals for up there with sth korea.

Argentina are through regardless cant see them losing to Greece and if so by much. Still sour of the 86 world cup? Nah, still pissed that they invaded the Falklands in 1982.

Excellent result. I'm sure the English media will be having a field day at the Frogs' expense.
