Come on, guys. Get a grip.

If the Italy team took on some of the Scottish team, who didn't qualify, would that mean they would run off at half time and then come back at the end of the second half and steal the goal posts?

Aww guys, all this Green bashing is getting out of hand. In fact, I think it's crossed the line.

No, this is crossing the line.

I'm sure nobody in the UK wants to treat Rob Green the same way. Right? You wouldn't even consider it, would you?

FIFA do not like young Dutch ladies wearing orange dresses. Sad

/\/\ Some guy from the ITV team got sacked for giving them the tickets. Whether he was paid in cash, beer or 'company' was not disclosed.

I just watched Brazil play N Korea, it could so easily have been a draw, but ended up 2-1. Brazils first goal was impossible, if you watch it you'll see what I mean.

/\/\ Lol, someone should explain the concept of 'WINs' does not include a draw. Most of the UK regard it as a defeat though.

I just found a clip of the 'impossible' Brazil goal.

LINK You really shouldnt be able to score from the touchline, when you can see none of the goal. Makes all the ones that miss when they can actually see the net look stupid.

Friggin' Brazilians are wizards with the football...

SWISS DEFENCE.

I cannot believe Spain didn't manage to connect with any of those shots.

They say that the problems they're experiencing is because they're playing with a perfectly round ball. Shocked

That's just so Zen man.

Nosferatau's World Cup ball isn't perfectly round, but I blame the MS Paint circly filly in thingy for not working.

I was suprised that my elderly Mum is watching the matches, and not going to bed early to avoid it, like she did in the election. But she keeps the sound off so she doesnt hear those bloody vulvazelas.

@Roy
I can't see the Vuvuzela catching on in English football.
I think it would be a very painful experience for anyone turning
up at an English league ground with one of these.......

Here we go...Nigeria vs. Greece.

I have a feeling you could replace all the Greeks with traffic cones, and you'd hardly notice a difference.

(I can say that 'cause I'm Greek, and I expected so much more from them. Like...a goal, maybe? Maybe, guys?) Rolling Eyes

Well, I'll be fucked. We won! Laughing

I'll be sending this out to a bunch of lads later on:

^ Yay
was cheering the Greeks on, I like to holiday on one of the lovely quiet islands ( and some of the not so quiet ones )

Looks like our house is split as to who to support
Hubby used to live in Oz, visits Japan a lot, there's relatives in SA, I have cousin in France.
So we have chicken teriyaki , biltong, garlic bread, Yaldara wine on standby.
I also have a close relative in England

Is it just me? I dont mind the sound of the vuvuzelas, sounds much like the normal noise. Beats the drumming.

Greece done all right for a bunch of traffic cones, be sure to remind your lads.

I thought Argentina looked a bit tasty, though Lionel Messi is my favourite player in the World ATM. Watching Mexico wup the French was pretty good too.

Today 2 of the UK tabloids lead with 'England Expects', though for most of us its a Stell Artois cocoon and watching through the gaps in our fingers....

So I'm in LAX yesterday morning, grabbing a quick bite to eat before my next flight and I look up, and who's on TV? Greece, Nigeria and it's 1-1. I haven't watched a single game yet, but I let out an audible "Yes!" when Greece put in that second goal. The only thought on my mind: the insults I would be sending out to my lads. You know you're a baiter when.....

Posted: Fri Jun 18, 2010 3:56 pm

^^^Been going through my catcher accounts doing just that. "I can't reply right now, I'm at the Greek club celebrating glorious victory."

US - Slovenia 2-2. That Malian referee must have been thinking about getting back to his list of magas (though I've never seen a lad from Mali).

Refereeing for both matches so far today has been terrible; likely cost both Germany and U.S. points.

Am gutted. I gave up an evening's baiting for that lacklustre and dull performance.

Baiting Guru Joined: 19 Mar 2007 Posts: 2628

You know that dissapointed, gutted feeling?
Depair over what might have been, the chances missed, the dull game play, the lack lustre attacking, the hope that next time they'll score, that you'll get through, hope against hope that the goal difference will be in you favour.

THAT'S what it feels like to be a Scotland supporter!
