Cool, run along and do that. Put some in your bong if you're eyes get tired watching the grass grow.

Leave the billions of fans to enjoy ourselves and we'll do the same.

2-0. This game is about over. To be sure, the Germans need just one more.

AGreatPicture in #2. Up and close you can see there are seams in the soccer ball anymore.

I'm in shock I tell ya with a 2-0 early score.

Funny stuff, that. Thanks.

Ecuador can't do the Robot! Go Ingerland! Glad we're not playing Germany.

I'm sorry for not posting my words properly.

What I ment to say is there are NO seams on the ball.

Probably is.
Still early days though, and the Swedes did come back against England. Larson is always dangerous.

'I have real, consequential, important things to do that actually matter, in the real world.'

It was good of you to spend so much of your consequential and important time trolling this thread.

Now, throw some more hotdogs on the barbie and watch some baseball!

Let's hope there are no Hand of God moments now we are into the knockout phase.

That, and no Beckham red cards, either.

JRios is a particularly annoying troll. He was all over a thread earlier this week.

Best thing to do is ignore the fool.

Meanwhile Germany looks awesome so far.

Bah, both those yellows were very weak. No way that guy should be out of this game.

More over-officiating. The refs just don't want to let teams play.

They look good but I think they will come unstuck in their next match when they play (most likely) Argentina. It could be a hell of a game though.

Germany do look good. I'm pretty glad we managed to avoid them. That said we'll probably now lose to Ecuador.

The power of Swedish girls overcomes you.

Sweden down a man almost slips one through.
Absolutely retarded to throw a guy out on interference,
in midfield no less. These refs are asking for assassination.

Yet another idiotic referee.

The second yellow was even weaker than the first. I've never seen a player get any kind of yellow card for interference in the middle of the field and soft contact at that.

I'd be pissed if I was Swedish. Destorys their ability to mount a comeback.
Just garbage, utter garbage. Why does this crap just continue?
