Well, I thought after yesterdays result of 0-3 the Argies are definitely on their way home but then look what  the Super Eagles went and did to the Thunderclappers!With Croatia already qualifying that particular little league is now wide open for second place.

Funny old game, football.

Peru played just like my last two games of dice rolling.  Couldn't hit a damn thing.  >:(

And now the Germans manage a win after playing like a Sunday League team. What the heck is going on?

I got France, France is doing fine  :-bd

Good result from The red devils as well! Going to be a nice match against England!

Senegal led twice against Japan but the game ended in a draw.....really need to beat Columbia in their final game to guarantee passage through to the last 16.

I have Japan (which I am following with some mild interest). They are at the top of their group after two games! Granted they are on top because "J" comes before "S" and had to come from one down to eak out the tie against Senegal their co-leader. Still - way better than losing them both, however. They have only Poland left to play and should advance. I am starting to look at the Pendraken catalog.  ;)
Encumbered by Idjits, we pressed on

Well, Egypt is gone. C'est la vie!

Never, in the history of football, well, not since the Argie captain Rattin got sent off in '66, have I wanted them to win a game. any game. I don't really want them to win the Cup even though it would be beneficial to me, If they go out in the quarters or even the semis I will be happy.

Shame to see Argentina go through last night, I didn't think they deserved it to be honest after the first two games.  They've got the best forward line in the whole competition and have struggled to do anything so far.

That shows you that being a star player is not everything.

There is no I in team!

No, but rearrange the last two letters and you get "me"  ;D

Similarly, I was in a meeting once and I pointed out that you can't polish a turd.
A colleague turned to me and said: "True, but you can roll it in glitter"

The Mythbusters did.

IIRC, herbivore product was better to polish than carnivore.

Well, that was a bad Korea move by Germany.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

I stand corrected. But with the glitter - who would you show it to?
