Forum: World Cup 2010

I think it's about time Wales had some luck in qualifying for a major Tournament. Not since 1958 have we qualfied for a major Tournament. 1978, 1986, 1992, 1994 and 2003 Tournaments was the closest we came to qualifying, but it was always on the last and most important games. Southhall, Rush,...

Congrats to Englishboy, BF and Miss Texas who came in 1, 2 and 3. It was a blast! Wonder what the interest would be in putting something together for other sports? NBA? NHL? I know they are not world wide but hate to have to wait for the next Olympics or World Cup to play again.

I'll be cheering The Netherlands on today to win the World Cup for the first time not least because when I was running the London Marathon for the British Heart Foundation an online betting company donated a £20 World Cup bet to me and back then I got some amazingly generous odds on The Netherlands...

Following England's disastrious showing in the World Cup and their exit from the competition on the back of the heaviest drubbing ever dished out by the German side, is it the right decision to allow Fabio Capello to stay on as England coach? Following England's dire performance in South Africa,...

No I don't mean England ! There's quite a few jokes flying round the net, I thought we could share them on here, lets face it, it might be the only time some of us have a laugh this World Cup. OK these appear to be aimed at one player, so if you have any other jokes, do share them. ...

Add them here this is my all time fav World Cup football song and I loved New Order - 1990 - England - you were soooooooooo close! Will never forget that penalty shoot out and Gazzas tears! I was an emotional wreck!! <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie"...

The referees at the centre of controversy in the Germany v England and Argentina v Mexico second round matches have not been retained for the remainder of the tournament. Uruguayan Jorge Larrionda who refused to award a clear England goal, and Italian Roberto Rosetti, who allowed an offside...

My moneys on Germany. I'm no football expert, but they seem to be the slickest, most organised and most profesional team ive seen at this years tournament. Come on Deutchland :peace:

to be ENGLISH! Annihilation, Humilation .... by the Germans! They deserve to WIN! ENGLAND ARE DIRE AND WE ARE JUST CRAP! SUPER CRAP IN DEFENCE CRAP IN MIDFIELD CRAP UP FRONT GOALIE IS THE MAN OF THE MATCH, DAVID JAMES, SAVED ABOUT 4 ATTEMPTS AT GOAL, OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN 8-1!

With the news that ITV Sport's coverage of the World Cup has (unusually) been trouncing the BBC's in the ratings war, which of the two network's programming have you preferred. Here's my take on things. Best Anchor lol - Adrian Chiles (ITV Sport) - He is without a doubt the BEST linkman on...

In 1986 it was the Hand of God. In 1990 it was the unfairness of the penalty shoot-out. In 2006 it was the distraction of the WAGs. With England there is always an excuse. And this time round, when they have been better prepared, better facilitated, better coached than ever before, we are told...

For those who don't ride on the crest of every Internet-football-hot-topic wave, the unrelenting foghorn-esque noise you have heard at World Cup games is produced by an instrument known as a vuvuzela -- a three-foot-long plastic trumpet traditionally blown throughout games to create an atmosphere....

Not in the slightest interested in Wags but caught this documentry on BBC 3 by accident tonight and it's very good, really highlights the problems of HIV and poverty in south africa. Some of the girls were distracting from Patricks cause but Ellie Darby was fantastic, well spoken interested and...

London, England (CNN) -- Tradition dictates that with every World Cup there is a new official ball used for the tournament. But it seems that with every new ball there also comes a great deal of controversy. It is hard to think of a World Cup that has gone by where a player or a coach has not...

I win.
