A proper football team, unlike our overpaid English louts. And TnT have got a Port Vale player. I'm supporting them.

I'm English.

Come On Trinidad and Tobago!

Especially now Rooney has come on. I'm sick of hearing about him. If it wasn't for all the news about him and his injury for the past heaven knows how long, I might feel a little bit more inclined to support my own country.

That makes you English :-) What has happened to your patriotism.

Line him up against the wall and shoot him :-)

Isn't there anybody Cornish in the England Team ?

I used to work with a Nigel Parsons at the GEC in Witton, Birmingham back in the early 60's. Can't be the same person, can it?

This comes under the 'If you're not for us you're against us' doctrine does it?
It was obviously shoved downstairs because it is not music, and it is definitely BS

Villan,
Only those who consider themselves English should even be considered traitors for cheering on Trinidad & Tobago.
Even the English (so I'm given to understand) often support the underdogs in a competition.

CHEERS

I agree with you Greg. England should have trounced them. No excuses.

However they are through to the next round.

Nigel, I think it's true that we can have a soft spot for the underdogs - I know I do So there is that factor with me.

The other side though, is not just Rooney btw, he is just the worst element of the media hype. I wonder how alone I am in getting so fed up with it all that it reaches the point I want the other side to win just to shut them up.

There is a Thread on Mudcat at the moment entitled,`Watching paint dry`, more appropiate for the game I just witnessed, one of the most boring games of football ever, aimless passing from an England team fancied by their muscle-headed fans, with their blow-up Spitfires, to win the World Cup. God help their wit.

I'd hate to hear from their detractors, Ard!

Listen, I have just been released from a mental offenders' institution that didn't enjoy a telly, and I wuz wundrin' why Alan 'Shagger' Smith doesn't appear on the team manifest.

In the days when I was still employable, young Alan was stepping out with my boss's daughter. When boss heard of Alan's epithet, the relationship was cancelled. It was a Leeds thing.

Who needs football when you've got Trago Mills!

I'd like to say something in England defence. FIFA are biased against them, it was most unfair that they had to play two countries at the one time, Trinidad AND Tobago. Just wait and see they will soon be made to play against Serbia AND Montenegro. And as for the begrudgers who are suggesting that Crouch was climbing on the defender for his goal, get real, give them SOME credit.
I was so inspired by their victory that I'm going to get a Bulldog tattoo, (if I can find somebody willing to do the artwork on my spinxter) OOOPS where did that come from?

I was all set to watch it but part of Dunfermline had a power cut. Doesn't sound like I missed much.

They was robbed by England.
Crouch was climbing all over the defender when he scored. It should not have been allowed!

The score line is not justified England were crap. They only got it together in the last 15 minutes when panic set in.

I just wish the Tinidad attempt before half time went in. That would have shook them up a bit!

OK the last minute effort by Gerrad was great but the reply was equaly great and I admit it was off side BUT?????

England were VERY LUCKY.

I watched the match and I've got to say, even though I'm English, Trinidad and Tobago were VERY good! They really made the England team work, and if it hadn't been for John Terry, they would have scored.

Yeah how he managed to kick that ball as he sailed through the air was amazing. There is a Goal of the competion surely there should be a save of the Competition and that would easily win it!

Think Rooney is playing the next game on his own, no need for 11 man team with him fit................ What a load of old Bo---cks, it would be less painfull sitting in the coalplace with toothache than watching England stumble to 2 WINS.......After watching the edited so called highlights, they should all be brought home ASAP and charged with impersonating athletes.......or footballers.

There are about as many of the Soca Warriors playing in English clubs as there are of the England team.

Theoretically they could still go through to the knock-out stage instead of Sweden. In which case I think their chances of winning against the likes of Argentina and Brazil would be about as good as England's.

Argentina are gonna win it - its written in the stars cos the bloke at work who picked them in the sweep-stake is one of the "luckiest" people i've ever met - I got switzerland so i won't win and won't get the booby prize either - so middle-of-the-road....

England is a great country. Think about it, there is so little going on that they spend 80% of their news broadcasts on world cup and Wimbledon. That's all I saw on the telly in three weeks!

Subject: RE: Come on Trinidad and Tobago
From: Rasener

Well if you saw three weeks of telly, Kendall, no wonder you thought so little was going on.
The news people knew you were coming, so they put a block on any news that might interest you. :-)

Come to think of it, how are the USA getting on in the World Cup?
GROUP E TABLE
                P GD PTS
1 Czech Republic 1 3 3
2 Italy          1 2 3
3 Ghana          1 -2 0
4 USA            1 -3 0

They have Italy tonight. I have heard that Americans hate losing, is that correct Kendall :-)

Kendall. In a way, I wish that were true. We have enough going on outside events like Wimbeldon and the world cup for the news programs to cover. It's just the importance they place on these events, and it seems to get worse each time round...

Ya know... the Yanks might not be "in" this one, but, ya had better not crow too loudly, because, IF and when the Yanks decide they are gonna actually play this game to win, they might just do it... every four years.

Go USA!!!

Bloody hell its 1 - 1

And worse of all, Italy are down to 10 men.

Has Bush got a stake in this LOL


Gnu, I didn't know you were a Yankee!!!!!

In case you yankees start getting too upset, its only a bit of friendly banter from an Englishman.

Its amazing really, I haven't met any American Mudcatters, except for Kendall at the Dewsbury's in Corringham near Gainsborough last year. I am only trying to get you wound up Kendall :-) I sincerely hope that things are going OK with you.
