'We wanna put the 4th star on our jerseys'

I thought your SS officers were only required to wear three stars.

No reason for the Argyles to go mental but why would you taunt the other team that was minutes from beating you and where you just advanced in PKs.

It's in bad taste. When you advance in PKs, you should be happy and celebrating.

When the Germans go on holiday, they always get up at the crack of dawn to commandeer the deckchairs by the swimming pool.

Germany was not impressive today. Lehman is the exception with the PK.
Not the best team in the tournament.

Thanks. I had not noticed that on the England shirts. I will look out for it tomorrow when we thrash Portugal.

The World Cup isn't about who is best, it's about who survives.

So which one is the best? Brazil has disappointed before, Argentina just lost the game, and all others are behind.

On Mallorca, WWII isn't over yet. Half the island is under British rule in summer, the other half is occupied by the Germans. And the fight each other deckchair by deckchair... ;-)

Every occupied deckchair another step towards establishing supremacy over the island. Personally, I couldn't care less, the last time I was there (some 10 years ago) I had way more fun with some British blokes than with my own compatriots.

Your shirts have one star on it, and the Argys have two. Italy has three. It´s quite usual for the teams to wear starts for each won world cup.

Most definitely. But in the end, it's usually the best.

No it isn't.

In that case, Norway would have been there :-)

Clearly the best teams right now are France and Italy. We have to see how the other eventual winners of the quarters show, but on form that's where it is for the moment.

Leandro Cufre got the red card AFTER the match was over by the ref. He has started the riot by attacking Per Mertesacker, whom he confused with Borowski. Then all went on Bierhoff who tried to divide the teams.

Or who is hosting the tournament. I mean there is no way France wins that World Cup unless it was held in France, or England in 1966.

WHAT??? France: two poor (!!) games in the pre-finals and Italy cheating through the tournament (ok, not against the Ukraine)?? No way.

Thanks for the answer. The reference kept popping up, so I had to find out :-)

Good thing you guys are out there in the early morning fighting for deck chair whilst the Scandis are taking care of your women :-P

Cheers.
