more importantly, why are Balboa and O'Brien ESPN's lead guys? Id give it to Dellacamera and Harkes before I would those idiots

A bit like Shevchenko's goal against Saudi Arabia then.

Agree 100% especially on Balboa although "into the mixer" always cracks me up.

After every goal he says this:

"You know, (scoring side) have been energized by that goal and if (conceeding team) isn't careful they could find themselves giving up two or three more goals, if they're not careful."

I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure I heard him say that sentence in every match he did.

Podolski with a rip, great save from Ricardo

thehatfield · 07-08-2006, 04:32 PM

I would presume as this was your last post, and it was 50 minutes ago, that this game hasn't turned that potential excitement into reality.

my money's on him being unconcious

0-0 at half

Ronaldo = pathetic diver. Justifies Podolski's selection over him for Young Player of the Tournament.

Should be sent to the Portuguese diving team for six months, and made to dive in a tutu.

I think he wouldn't be as good as a diver than as a football player since, you know, he's probably the best player in Portugal after Figo.

If that's the case then it shows that Portuguese football must be in quite a bit of a state.
When you play on the wing, you actually have to cross the ball sometimes, instead of either flopping or doing useless tricks and giving away the ball most of the time.

Mary Shelly's Oliver Kahn hasn't really been tested yet.

Sdpm100 · 07-08-2006, 05:11 PM

Slightly OT - Lukas do not meet up with Paris Hilton, even if she wants to meet with you. It can only end one way if you do.

That is all - I would say "continue" but nobody has for a quarter-hour.

theasfl · 07-08-2006, 05:12 PM

Schweinstager with a blast 1-0 Germany

Sdpm100 · 07-08-2006, 05:12 PM

Schweinsteiger puts the ball into the back of the net after cutting in from the wing and then blasting it past Ricardo from 25 yards out. 1-0 Germany.
