Go to Scotland and start calling people "English" (if you think British and English mean the same thing).

Firstly, the UK and Britain aren't exactly the same thing. The UK has Northern Ireland in it, Britain doesn't.

And as Jon Boy said there is no British or UK national team. Each country has their own team. England does not include Scotland, Wales etc.

Oh, this one was. In the end, I had to meet two big guys and a prostitute and pay his coke/whore bills to save him from being beaten up. He said that was my fault.

He did pay me back eventually, but as a punishment I locked him in with no alcohol for 24 hs.

He tells everyone I am evil.

tomato, tomato

anyway this isn't a world cup thread-- back to the fantasy it is!

Italy paraguay

in the heavy rain no less!

!@#$%! 06.14.2010 02:23 PM

fucking a! paraguay ahead 1-0! brilliant goal by alcaraz and the execution for the free kick by torres was equally excellent!

i was fearing italy's control of the ball on the paraguayan side but they didn't create any dangerous situations. paraguay took some 20-30 minutes maybe to start pulling together offensive plays.

what's next? will italy start playing dirty? (they've been known to do that when under pressure). paraguay plays rough too, though. they'll need to keep trying to increase teh difference because italy is capable of scoring 2 goals in the last 5 minutes.

the paraguayan goalkeeper, by the way, seems a bit out of it-- he failed to go out in a corner kick and made things momentarily difficult.

here's hoping for the 2-0 (sorry nicfit-- continental loyalties)

Rob Instigator 06.14.2010 02:25 PM

no prob, winning the WC 2 times in a row would be ridicuous considering the players we have.
I honestly don't give a fuck this year, lots of other things to do, but watching games with a big lcd screen planted in a garden with beers is pretty nice, ha ha.
Not today, though, not today.
too many things to think of, to take care of, to do.
many.

!@#$%! 06.14.2010 02:51 PM

well, villar just fucked up and caused italy to tie. as i said, he's kinda out of it. arghhhhhhhhhh.

Rob Instigator 06.14.2010 03:00 PM

exciting nonetheless
