Honestly if you can't find a dozen decent players out of nearly a million people :monster: I mean yes if we are comparing the Vatican to France or something, but there comes a point where "But they have more people to choose from" is just nonsensical.
I'm glad you later removed Australia from this generalisation. We're not a fantastic team, but ffs when you aren't even playing to potential, it becomes a bit embarrassing. If we don't make it through the group stages, football is going to take another dive in popularity and all the kids will go play :bou::bou::bou::bou: sports :nonono:Quote:

Also, severely enjoying this French game.
Haven't seen the French capitulate like this since 1940. Exciting stuff.
i'm so happy
Well thats probably it for South Africa unfortunately. Oh well :(
France clearly want to go the whole hog when it comes to making complete prats of themselves in this tournament. Stupid red card decision though.
So it's looking like Mexico v Argentina (just like in 2006) and Uruguay v South Korea/Nigeria. The winner of that latter game could meet England in a QF if England win their group. If England finish second and make the QFs they'd meet the winner of Mexico v Argentina I think.
South American teams are looking very very decent. Ignoring the big two, Uruguay, Chile and Paraguay have all had very decent World Cups so far. I can't see the trophy going anywhere but to that continent from what I've seen so far.
Agreed!Quote:

I've thought of one good side-effect if England turn it round and do well in this World Cup - it will make John Terry look like even more of a prat. Always a good thing.
Argentina are great to watch as are Spain (who I hope win it) Greece are absolute poison >_<
OMG Greece you play 1000x more annyoing football than Italy.
I was considering not even watching any other games Greece was involved in if they got through. They were just...... I mean...... I can't..... :frust:
That's because Italy (sometimes) know the art of being defensive and good at the same time. Greece clearly operate from the Bolton/Stoke handbook of football.Quote:
