Yeah I wondered that too. Wood and McGlinchy should have gotten a chance to start and prove themselves in the Paraguay game.

LMAO ahhh France. Definitely sounds like something straight from a very bad soap opera.

Highlight of the World Cup for me so far The French performance. Not the best of starts for them with star player Frank Ribery being investigated by the police for paying for sex with underage prostitutes. The rest of their cup being dominated by infighting, players and coach at loggerheads, refusing to train, dressing room arguments, Anelka being sent home, the French Minister of Sport being dispatched by the President of France to sort the squabbling bitches out, finishing last in their pool, Domenich refusing to shake hands with the South African coach and lastly having their first class flights home down graded to economy by the French Football Association. Brilliant, you couldn't write a better script.

| Oh, ffs... Yeah, Im rooting for Chile, and Im pissed that the Spanish got two WONDERFULL goals into the Chilean goal... But what makes me root for Chile even more is that they just got a red card, when the ref bought a Spanish simulation. That REALLY kills the game, imo. |
