Me too, but cricket was nothing, for five years I had to freaking play RUGBY, you have idea how much I loathe rugby. Thats right for 5 years i had the great honour of being charged at by a bunch of people 250 times my size, and then flung in mud.

Cricket might well be boring but atleast its not unpleasant.

Rugby is character building !! I well remember playing in winter when the ground was froze solid....ouch!!......oh no ...no....don't pass it to me....oh crap...oh well ive got it now, off i go, YES past one big lumbering goon, swerve past another, palm off another, oh yes i'm gonna.....CRUNCH..owww..ohhhhh......MEDIC !!!!
as long as you don't end up as a paraplegic or with a squashed nose, you are definitely a better person for having played rugby !!

American football ?? Padding? helmets ??

>>I'll look forward to watching your first match in this world cup

Thats cruel.
We only lost one game all qualifying. Then we nearly had to playoff against Brazil instead of Uraguay, after beating every team in Oceanania. (some places don't have enough population for a fullteam though and one of our players now holds the World Cup record for over ten goals in one match!) Away to Uraguay and so lost 3:1 on goal difference. Final score was worse than it should as they scored another goal as we pushed for an away goal, to win the series. (why wouldn't you with Kewl, Zane and Viduka up front)

>>> Isn't David Beckham married to Posh Spice from the SPICE GIRLS?

Yes.

I love watching the game.... The fact that it's long really doesn't bother me

yeah it was very unfair. the system of qualifying needs looking into, the regions etc. ie Australia would beat Saudia Arabia easily, are a far better team.

And England nearly forced Germany out of the World cup, and vica versa. in reality both teams deserve to be there, one nearly wasn't.

>>> in reality both teams deserve to be there, one nearly wasn't.

Political correctness. In reality, there are several teams in the finals that are simply going to be canon fodder. Does this do the losing sides any good I ask myself?

If you never let them play high profile games they will never improve, for these teams to get better they need to raise the profile of football within their own country.
For sure saudi arabia were/are rubbish, but look how the japanese have improved in 4 years, they played some really exiting stuff.
I agree that its harsh austrailia didn't qualify, but then holland didn't either.

GERmany vs IReLand
whoa... that was such a close call for germany...
score in the last minute... good one

(even though i was for Germany)

>>yeah it was very unfair.

Hey, we knew the rules when we started.

We also lost out last time in the two game playoff to Iran. Drew the last game and lost on the away goals rule. Again without loosing a game.

What was going on in Brazil v Turkey?
A soft penalty (as the shirt pulling was outside the box) then the Turkey goalkeeper grabbing Rivaldo and no penalty. Then Rivaldo's faking for a red card. I know he got fined but will the Turkey player not be suspended?

>>> play high profile games they will never improve

True, but humiliation in front of the World Cup TV billions... I don't know.

>>> What was going on in Brazil v Turkey?

Brazil looked very rough, but then they frequently do in the opening rounds.

Beckham didn't look too dumb when he scored the winning penallty today !!!

were you Scottish watching England beat Argentina !!!!
hope you all had your Argie shirts on at the time !!!!
