We don't have your strange obsession with regular committee meetings in the middle of allegedly fast-moving sports.

For years, I thought the coach was ordering a cup of tea...

That's cause you're all plugged into the Socialistic Mainframe and get your talks via a Wifi chip in your brain.

Well not everyone is enthralled with watching grown men jog up and down a field for an hour and a half occasionally cupping their balls in a conga line.

Those French can be ruthless at futbol I hear.

Is that Zynadine Zidan? or whatever his name was.

well seeing as I think I'm the only US board member on here that actually does like football (soccer) that draw is pretty good....I'd have like it better if instead of England it had been someone more our level, but England should be a nice group partner to advance with.

I couldn't help thinking of Nigel Gruff in The Replacements. For those who haven't seen it - do so. Even if you don't understand American football, it's great. Gruff (Rhys Ifans) is a Welsh footballer recruited as a strike-crosser. He jogs onto the field with a cigarette in his mouth; he needs to be reminded to kick the ball over the bar, not under; and he explains his original game of "football" between 2:20 and 2:30 here.

i'm such a sad anorak, have worked out which pubs for which of the group matches.
Am just concerned about the england-algeria match as combining two sets of fans with active violent minorities won't bode well, it certainly didn't in the last few ''friendlies'' involving algeria and a few staboholic fans
Just love the fact that honduras qualified and russia didn't!!! hahahahahahahahahahahaha
