This World Cup is turning out just like the Second World War...

The French surrendered early
The yanks showed up at the last minute
And England are left fighting the Germans

we have stopped making war through nationalistic reasons because it's now chanelled on the football pitch...it's the newest form of warfare where no one gets killed nor property damaged...it took the English a little longer than most though to understand this...i.e Football Hoollie..

I liked that movie as a kid until they made Sly a keeper. As a former keeper it offended me that Pele would recommend a spastic, no hands midget for the position but then I remembered David Seaman (just kidding England fans).

Man the US played so well in the second half! Hope this fires up soccer interest in the US, sould be good to have you take part regularly in a true WC! Was great to see some of the US fans at home!

Now, today is England v Germany! Check this link to see the rivalry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_and_Germany_football_rivalry

Man, the whole of England will be on a knife edge until the game is finished! Really is kind [paraphrasing lol] of "Football is an expression of war by other means"

Now, back to England v Germany!

Marc, ur gonna lose mate ; )

In today's match with germany refrees were really poor, but english squad was actually worse.

maybe Mexico will do this job tonight.

Otherwise it will be a tough match against Argentina and Messi.

But at the moment we are very glad to have reached the next round.

BTW, I think the soccer name was an English (as in England) word that was short for association. Correct me if I am wrong. (I'm sure you will)
