A bit of a surprise to see Italy crash out because the group did not look too difficult. Then again, during the last World Cup Italy played just one good game against Germany in the semis - all the others they barely survived with a lot of luck and the help of the referee. Their qualifiers for this World Cup were also less then impressive - barely beat Cyprus.

John Terry is a knob and everyone knows it. Except him!
Terry saying that the only 2 players who can open up the opposition are Rooney and Joe Cole must have done a real lot for the team spirit.
Who ever said that the French have a monopoly on self-destruction. He really is a wank_r

Oh and by the way - the picture on the left is the Italian team!
Well spotted....thought that looked like Dino Zoff!
So, how many others can we all name? I'll start with Tardelli and I think Gentile.
Front row, second from left - Paolo Rossi
Too slow - Mr Stevie beat me to it

The problems were easily identifiable and the coach will correct them.<snip>
You mean get rid of Podolski?
Nope, get rid of Badstuber, put Lahm on the left and probably Boateng on the right. The whole defence is rubbish but Badstuber clearly tops them all.

Really enjoyed the Argentina - Korea match. Lot of pace, technical skill, although the Koreans looked a bit out of sorts in the first half. Second half was much better and I think that Korea did not deserve the final score - definitely one goal too high.

Looks like the FIFA officials attended some courses in Thailand on how to stage really important crack-downs.

It is still early in the competition and we've seen a lot of just average or below par performances - but also some pretty good games!
My memory is not all that good - but do you really think that the first round of matches of the last World Cup were any better?
It might be that everybody's expectations are set too high - with all the hype around such a big tournament, the best teams in the world etc when in reality all they want to do is just not too loose the first game.
Can't wait for the knock-out stage - that's when the tournament starts.
-
Come on! Only one game played so far - things can only get better - and for the record: Italy also drew with the U.S. back in 2006. Not a bad omen - is it?

Wonderful result for the Swiss - all credit to Hitzfeld. They should be able to follow Spain to the last 16.

Well if they are going to be used in the UK, I can imagine a sharp increase in the number of procedures needed in emergency rooms to remove foreign objects from peoples rectums next season.

Good result for the Dutch but I expected a much better football match. Some sparks of brilliance (van der Vaart, Elija) but overall too many fouls and the Danes were of course very disppointing. The Danish dynamite did not ignite.

The South African fans should think about what people will remember when they talk about this World Cup. It will not be the great atmosphere, the hospitality of the hosts, exciting games etc etc - but only those stupid, annoying horns.

I also have high cholesterol (212). I'm quite thin, exercise a lot, work outdoors every day, nearly 60 yrs.
A lot of the advice within this post appears on the mark. I steer clear of pills as much as possible. My mom sent me some cholesterol pills, I took one, it messed up my BM for a day - tossed the rest of the pills in the wastecan. also recommend avoiding sugar and too-sweet fruits (watermelon comes to mind), and take the skin off chicken, and avoid pastries and sodas. Residing in Thailand makes things somewhat difficult, when trying to stick with a healthy diet. Dearth of avocados, 100% fruit juices a rarity, same for 100% vege juices. In my town, there's just one place which has carrot juice (20 baht). It's funny, when I first came to Thailand, between 10 and 20 years ago, a person could get V-8 juice in any mom and pop store. Now you can't, but instead, everything except water has loads of sugar or fermented sugar. The trend in Thai food and available drinks is away from what's healthy, and steadily downhill toward debilitating items. It's particularly important for anyone who's watching over kids. Get them started on relatively healthy eating/drinking habits. I know it's not easy, as there is such immense pressure from corporations to compel children to eat/drink the worst stuff.
I don't think that 212 is too high for a person of your age. That is at least what doctors in Europe would tell you. Thai docs might look at it differently but as long as the HDL-LDL ratio is okay, 212 is really nothing to worry about.

Agree, good performance by the Germans (that Oezil is a real gem) but Australia looked completely out of depth - old and slow. Along with Greece the weakest team performance so far.
-
i dont usually tend to defend the aussies that much, but that was by no means a red card offence.
turned the game in my opinion.
I thought this was an England thread? But - yes, the red card was very harsh but it by no means 'turned' the game! Germany was well and truly in control and should have scored one or two more already before half time.
-
Looks like Mr. Stevie was spot on with his prediction. I thought that the U.S. looked quite vulnerable in defense but were lucky that England did not exploit it mainly due a lot of erratic crossing by Johnson and Lennon.

ISSUE:
I was just browsing through the pages of the New Content and getting to page 8 I see a topic posted 1 minute ago. Went back to page 1 and sure enough it was the same post.

Not fair! This is torture. I almost licked the screen.

Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda have so far failed to produce an agreement.
The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the number of virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death will be cut by 25% this February from 72 to only 54. The rationale for the cut was the increase in recent years of the number of suicide bombings and a subsequent shortage of virgins in the afterlife.
The suicide bombers' union, the British Organization of Occupational Martyrs, (B.O.O.M.), responded with a statement that this was unacceptable to its members and immediately balloted for strike action.
General Secretary Abdullah Amir told the press, "Our members are literally working themselves to death in the cause of Jihad. We don't ask for much in return, but to be treated like this is like a kick in the teeth."
Speaking from his shed in Tipton in the West Midlands in which he currently resides, Al Qaeda chief executive Osama bin Laden explained, "We sympathize with our workers' concerns but Al Qaeda is simply not in a position to meet their demands. They are not accepting the realities of modern-day Jihad in a competitive marketplace".
"Thanks to Western depravity, there is now a chronic shortage of virgins in the afterlife. It's a straight choice between reducing expenditure and laying people off. I don't like cutting pension benefits, but I'd hate to have to tell 3,000 of my staff that they won't be able to blow themselves up."
Spokespersons for the union in the Northeast of England, Ireland, Wales and the entire Australian continent stated that the strike would not affect their operations as "There are no virgins in our areas anyway".
A strike may not be necessary, however, as the number of suicide bombings has been decreasing lately. This has been attributed to the emergence of the Scottish singing star, Susan Boyle. Now that Muslims know what a virgin looks like, they are not so keen on going to paradise.

Yes, very good news indeed.

Wow, just stumbled on to this one. I met Karl when we were caught in the start-up of this mess on Friday afternoon in Rangnam. Shared a beer and then made a dash to Soi 14.
I do hope he is alright. Let me know if you have any up-date.
We know that he was ok up till Thursday. We're still looking for him.
I thought you said that he's been missing since Sunday? He was definitely okay on Friday afternoon (around 5:30 pm) when we walked home.

Is his wife Thai?
"Karl and his wife (who is still in New Zealand) planned on teaching in Bangkok" - so probably not thai and can't speak thai
yeah, his wife isn't thai. anyway, he might be in a hospital in Minburi. We're still trying to figure it out.

It looks like a very even match - both have a good chance to progress. Ghana looked quite dangerous against the Germans and were unlucky not too score. They play with a great pace and good technical skills. Slight favourites for me as long as they stay organized.
