well done, but it's only going to get harder for both teams. but after watching this world cup i beleive there is no such thing as a bad team it's getting harder and harder as different continets play a different types of football..

[cormack]

if that did'nt make sense ive had a bit to drink but i hope you catch my drift ?

Good job England.

They need to step it up though. Rooney was "on" this game, and Gerrard had at least 2 "gimmie" goals that he should have been able to easily put in.

England really seemed hungry this game. They've got to play that way in every match. They seemed like they halfway didn't care when they played Algeria.

As for the US, I'm not rooting for them, but if anybody thinks that they're not being given fair calls because of our foreign policy, then you're just as dumb as the refs who are calling the game. Seriously. 2 straight games with 2 disallowed goals? Come the fuck on FIFA. Grow up.

Rooney is on £100,000 wages a week
also £100,000 in sponsorship a week.
He looks knackered and lacked pace,
I had more chance of scoring and I'm not fully fit.
I wonder if high pay may be double edged?

What the fuck is up with those calls anyways?

It's our foreign policy. Most of the world is Butthurt that we're winning in Iraq, and that their economies are failing, and ours is improving (just a little). That's my uneducated guess..anyways. I'm just rambling though.
