Yes, football, or fussball, or le foot, or futbol is the beautiful game. The World Cup starts tomorrow, which is one of the few genuinely global games. England have a very good manager, who may make the difference this time, even if it goes to the dreaded penalties again. My English half would like to see them avoid their customary underachievement. My French side would like to forget that they cheated their way into the finals, and hope they don't embarass themselves. I would like to see those underachievers, Holland or Spain, win. Holland, especially have come heartbreakingly close twice before, when they played the beautiful game at its best.
It's a fact that since the World Cup began in 1930, one of the big 4 of Brazil, Germany, Italy and Argentina has been in every final. It would be nice to hope for a final between two teams outside that cartel.
Football (for this is indeed the name of the game) has given me more drama, joy, heartbreak, exhilaration, and appreciation of the grace and artistry than any TV programme or film. As the late, great Bill Shankly said, "Football is not a matter of life and death. It's much more important than that"
 Ha ha!

Come on guys, everyone knows that Australia has more world champions in any sport than any other country.

I would like to see the Aussies give it to the Germans in their opening world cup game.....then onto Italy in the finals and get one back for the biggest swan dive in all of world cup history that cost Australia the game.  Well then Italy did go on to win the world cup, just what could have been....just another trophy in the all ready too full cabinet......

Using kangaroos and koalas as shields against the rebuttal.......

You Aussie's always did have vivid overactive imaginations.    8) 8) ;D

I'd say it was a fair result, Mexico dominated the first half and could just have easily have won it if they capitalised.

I got up at 2:30 am to watch England vs USA. If not for Rob Green's howler, this would have been a comfortable win for England. However, it would also have papered over some of the cracks in the England team so maybe a draw is the best result in the long run. I just pray to God that Jamie Carragher does not play again in central defence. He is a massive liability and will be exposed against better teams. Just gotta hope for a 0-0 draw between Algeria and Slovenia tonight so it leaves England (and the US) in the driving seat.

Well done Germany. Nice to bring the Socceroos crashing down to earth. Believe it or not the media hype about them over here was laughable and incredibly naive, so hopefully this will give them a reality check.
