Hooray for Deutschland!

After the US, the Germans are my favorite team. I was able to find a secluded area with a TV at work and watched the entire game.

Time for England - Paraguay!

England will draw.

Of the last 13 world cup pening games england have won just 2.

I lost £10 yesterday, 5 on costa rica to draw germany and 5 on poland to turn around their crappy performances against ecuador

Well it's looking interesting so far... 1-0 England, Paraguay keeper's been injured, and about 4 people have been booked so far...

Wow, that twas a good own goal...

I hate early goals becuase you enevitably end up defending the lead for 90 minutes. Paraguay have looked off their game but Santa Cruz or Valdez could easily get an equaliser if they aren't closed down outside the box.

So I would like to see a 2nd goal from England to finish this one off or we could be in for a nail-biting last quarter.

I think Gerrard and Lampard have looked a little off form, no shots on target from either of them.

That's the lighter ball doing that, that is... Their volleys have all flown into orbit... Crouch should have won a penalty earlier... Bah... Two appeals that were good.

Lampard had one saved... but yeah, they should be winning by more than one goal, whether it's the ball's fault or not.

Germany didn't have any trouble with the ball, two wonderful goals.

Hehehe, how about Trinidad and Tobago's 0-0 tie with Sweden. I think we have a world power in the making

lol that was amazing by TaT, shame england didnt perform very well. ivory coast did well against one of the favourites to win, but it asnt good enough to prevent them from winning

I didn't see alot of the England game, i was watchin SA terrorise the Scots at rugby...but from what i saw i wasn't impressed, but i think they'll be better in the "bigger" games..I hope :shock:
