Football World Cup 2010 in South Africa

[Sunday]

New Zealand is off to a good start tying with Slovakia. I can't wait to see us play Italy.

Looks as if things are hotting up i n the World Cup:fear::fear::fear::fear::attention::faint:

What the **** is wrong with these referees today? Klose didn't commit a foul and that was a legitimate goal for the US. Smells like fraud, pals.

^ Klose has every right to feel incensed...

Any bets on England beating Slovenia on Wednesday?

I think this is going to be a tough call..................there is something odd going on here...........not sure what, but as far as I can tell, the signs are there's a bit split here ...................When Sven was in charge, you could see that there were two camps and that Sven was not really in charge but, was riding the problem.................looks as if the FA tried to bring in a new manager to sort this , Fabio was not the first choice, but he was he man who got the job......................seems to me that that we have the impression that he was in charge and he had do what it took to get to the position where he manager managed and the team played ................however , the press seemed to suggest that the politics of the situation were not that simple ................now: Fabio has had a big session and listened to the voices and at least heard what was said ......................but: hey we are in a world cup and they are in trouble...............so any action that can help should be taken ...................but this looks like some underlying problem that was not sorted out before has come back to haunt them and should have been trashed out well before the WC.

I wish them the best and hope it can be sorted and they can win but I think there is more to come out and we will find what it is in the next few days or weeks!

It looks as if the US has a better chance than England of advancing. I under-estimated Slovenia and Algeria.

Great to see New Zealand draw with Italy. Unfortunately, we have to beat Paraguay to be able to advance :/

France are out... Hard to think they won 8 years ago.
