I agree, ITV (dont know if you get it up there) have just shown a montage of the Korean Rooney and his chances, the 2 shots adding up to 20 yards wide of the mark, whilst the panel wank over how well they are doing.
FFS it's the world cup , I fully expect them to show a similar Robinho montage and slag him off for not scoring a hat trick. They shouldn't be allowed in the WC if they are shit, did anyone witness the pub team that is New Zealand?

Why allow teams like this in the tourney when they have zero chance of winning it, at least Scotland had the good grace to show how shit they are in the qualifiers and bow out.
England have a .00005% chance of winning it by my reckoning.
I fukin hate plucky performances , save it for the fukin FA cup 3rd round

No offence Keem but that kind of attitude is typical of you supporters of the big clubs. I even had a Liverpool fan moaning because they had to play a team he'd never heard of in the champions league. That's the chamipons league. Like Liverpool even have any right to be in it. The last time Liverpool were champions Winrew had hair.

It's a world football festival and it's for all the world to have a chance to be there. No matter how shit they are, they all have a right to their chance of one brief moment with the big boys (remember Archie Gemmill -sp).

If you had your way the olympics would be a pretty sorry spectacle. Only turn up if you've got a chance of winning. Two blokes lining up on day one to contest the 100 metres final. No Eddie the eagles - OK so it wouldn't be all bad.

Just because you happen to have been born within the shores ofone of footballs superpowers who have actully lifted the trophy (19 60 something if memory serves) there's no need to be so elitist about it all.

FFS, don't put Scotland in the FA Cup too, it's bad enough the Gills having to travel miles away to places like Accrington and Burscough to get embarrassingly beaten, never mind having to go all the way up to Scotland.

That Bilbao game has made a lasting impression on you hasn't it Mickey

It was dreadful. And yet.... still more interesting than every game I've seen so far at this "Cup of Worlds".
