    I love Richie Sadlier. Apart from being gorgeous he's very informed and talks a lot of sense! Worth staying up for!

    Help!

    (sorry if this has been asked before)

    what is that kid shouting at the commercial break? you know it's part of the south african theme

    sounds like he is saying 'ginap-o' or something.

    what is it and what does it mean. tx

    its xhosa for
    'blatther you thick cnut..get someone to stand behind the goal'

    No real shocks in the knockout stages yet, bar that Ingurland scoreline*, so I'm expecting the shocks to start today. Slovakia and Chile to win on penalties.


    *Should have been 6-2.

    P.S. I said England were overrated.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 558 ✭✭✭Mick Daly


    We all know England are over hyped. Everyone except the English themselves that is.

    Yeah but then that's just a waste really.


    Slovakia won't beat Brazil in the next round. Holland might...

    Odds on a Brazil - Germany final are down to 7/1 now, they'll probably drop to 5/1 after Brazil win later on :cool:

    I'm hoping for a Ghana v Brazil semi-final.

    Going, Going, Ghana!

    Maybe you do. English soccer is crap. I'd rather watch paint dry.

    World Cup is better without them. We can settle down to watch the masters at work.

    The soccer from the English team isn't the best, but there is a hell of a lot
    more to the cup and sport than just the skill. The hype, rivalry, fans and media all
    play a huge part in the excitement. For the most part, a lot of the games
    are dull; England bring the love-hate factor to the cup like no other country, and when
    they bow out, the tourny loses this. To me, that is negative.

    AaahhhhH!!! What a miss!

    Auld Faceboy between the sticks is keeping Slovakia in it so he is.

    Slovakia certainly deserve a goal here

    I do love a bit of extra time so I do.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    All over now. 2-0

    Love Sneijder!

    Just quickly re:England/Germany match.

    Jesus, there's an awful lot of whinging (and the odd racist) cunts on here.
    England didn't play well, but is there any need to start going on about 'English scum' and all this kind of bullshit? It's a game FFS.

    I watched the match yesterday in Strathclyde University Student Union bar, in Glasgow; at the All Britain Fleadh. A mainly English crowd, about 2/3, with a good few Scots and Irish there too, but there was no malice - actually, it was a fantastic atmosphere; a bit of banter from the Scots but it was all in good humour.

    Some people here really need to grow up and get over themselves. We played badly in a sports game, stop using it to spew 'RA-head rubbish.


    Germany played well though, fair play to them

    Wesley Sneijder was a boy who liked to play football..... until one day he wakes up to find that he is a football. And he's about to find out that life isn't such a walk in the park when you're getting kicked around one.

    This summer Wesley Sneijder is "The Football"




    Durp ah durp durp.
