Mama mia come si pizica!

David Beckham is a male J-Low. Notice that he picks the start of the World Cup to launch his own cologne. I'm a Chacin man myself.

Best use of an Englishman:
All hail King Booker!
All hail King Booker!
All hail King Booker!
All hail King Booker!
All hail King Booker!
All hail King Booker!
All hail King Booker!
All hail King Booker!

In the corner
Germany played some good football but were square across the back and paid the price twice.

Poland were totally unimaginative and never really got going.

Tomorrow is the day of reckoning for Sven!!!

As an aside why don't they show all the games on the same channel, it's a real pain setting the VCR etc to switch channels between RSO and TSN!!!

Poland actually showed some creativity, but Ecuador was very solid at the back, they bided their time well, and after the first goal Poland folded like a house of cards.

What's a VCR? ;)

I don't think that's true about Germany. They made a good start, will have given themselves a big psychological boost, in addition to already benefitting from home advantage. They will only get better with the return of Ballack, and Klinsmann will definately be working on his back line before the next game comes around.

England on the other hand is bound to be in trouble if they don't raise their game above what they've shown up to the 60th minute of their Paraguay match. The South Americans are playing terribly and England has not been able to make it tell in their favour, leading from a single own goal. Their defense has been solid, but Gerrard and Lampard still don't get along in the midfield. Only an English commentator could refer to Crouch as "highly skilled" without a chuckle. On the bright side, Beckham has been at his best - which means brilliant moments on the long ball and merely compentent in all other situations. What creativity they've shown has come mostly from Cole on the left.

Most troubling, is McLaren's presence on the bench. I don't care how mature the two men are, it's simply stupid to have the present and future coaches there together. It can only lead to friction, and for what benefit?

Well England was far from impressive. That was like watching a Serie A game, though that referee didnt help. I guess all games can't be works of art.

Actually, I was surprised how up-tempo the German offence was compared with previous world cups. Germany is notorious for slowly carrying the ball to the other end with short precision passes. But, this game was a lot more upbeat.
The goalie Lehmann didn't impress. They may bring Kahn back.

Leave Craig Forrest alone, without him Canada would not have won the Gold Cup in 2000. He's possibly the best player Canada has ever produced, he knows what he's talking about and, unlike your scouser buddy Sharman, he has class.
