The New York Post is our equivalent of your tabloids such as the Daily Mail. 'Nuff said...

I would bet the Australians show up, unlike the poles in the last world cup. Funny how history repeats itself.


Well I'll be pulling for the diggers but I will be drinking my favorite German beer.






heh, I am from Munich and we call Spatenbräu ("Spade brewery") derogatory Schaufelbier ("shovel beer") and it´s generally considered as the worst beer of Munich´s brands.
Most liked beer is "Augustiner" (at least in my circle of friends).

OK, I bought a 6 pack of these. They won't be cold until the second half but is this what you were recommending?

These Germans look really strong.

[JohnDillworth]

Well, lets just say the Germans looked good and the Aussies,......not so much

Yes, very strong [X(] The Australians are truly weak, but... the Fußball Machine is back [&o]

Oh well, back to the drawing board.

I think it was more Rommel at Tobruk June 42 rather than April 41.

We can still progress, though probably dont deserve it.

What the hell is the "British" all about? Is the editor for that newspaper so desparately short of any sense of history that he could not think of something English?

"Hey guys - I've got a great idea for a headline - it doesn't fit with the circumstances, its total nonsense, but I can't think of anything else"

"Great lets use it!"

Unlucky mate - hopefully you'll still make it through, but its going to be tough. Mind you wasn't June 42 the South Africans - the Aussies having been deservedly pulled out after their heroic defence in 41?

You've encapsulated the exact thinking of the Post on all occassions.

Ye gods! The Germans look good. I will be surprised if they don't go 3-0 in their group.

I think it will be down to the second qualifying spot for that group unless the Germans ease up and put in the scrubs for the 2nd and 3rd games.

OTOH, not 1 in 100 Americans could articulate the difference between "English" and "British." Whether they like it over there or not, that's the way it is. Samo-samo over here.

Germany was playing vs a very poor Oz. We shall see when they come across a more sterner test. Looking forward to seeing Holland today, if they can hold their infamous inhouse fighting in check they may have a chance.

You're wrong, Moose. I can articulate them both quite clearly. No stutter, no nuthin'.

Spent all day Saturday at the pub...missed my flight Sunday morning and spent all day in an airport on a lay over after I rescheduled my flight...People should lay off Green...its a team sport and Dempsey should never have been allowed to get off a clean shot...that being said an inch to the right and Altidore could have produced a game winner.

World Cup 2010: Vuvuzelas may be on their way to the Premier League

• Vuvuzela debate likely to continue after World Cup
• Premier League would welcome the sound in England

Those horns in the crowd are a real blight on this world cup.  I try and watch the games but I have to turn the TV off after a while because the horns start to give me a headache.  I really hope that these things are banned from sporting events, because they will rapidly have people turning away from watching those sports that allow these things.

Of course I can hardly get my hopes up, but since we are there, and I am as patriotic as the next bloke, I have to add a plug for the Kiwis against Slovakia tonight. In our previous effort (at the world cup) the 'being there' was the victory. This team is a little better than that - or maybe a bit more professional. However, I can't help feeling that the best we can hope for is to score a goal and not get "Australia'd"
