I have really enjoyed it all. Few dull games, but not every match is going to be a cracker. Your always going to look at it a little more negatively/sourly when England have been hyped up to ungodly levels, then brought down to Earth with a crash. But in saying that the knockout stages are always better. High stake games!

Bad times. Ah well. More players out there. We do need at least 3 new players though.

Interesting.

Reopening goal line technology "debate" in July. Finally giving in?

- Rooney looked fatter than ever and completely unfit. - Tactics terrible, formations laughable. - Substitutions incredibly stupid - Cappello stubborn and mornoic I hope Rooney continues to play like that for Utd. Would be rather hilarious. The English team needs an English manager.

Total disgrace!!

Taking the lounge away would be a silly decision in my opinion.. Why would you want lower conversation on a forum? Taking the foot off the pedal and discussing other things is a good thing.. Plus it's not as if threads take up lots of space. Can be easily pruned also...

Hodgson :(

I hope this ruins apples reputation. Regards, Zola (Iphone 3Gs User)

He is fat.

Northern Ireland!

Very very interesting match indeed!! After England's display yesterday, which was MUCH more courageous and confident, this is a very difficult game to call. England dont want a draw and penalties, that's for sure!! England should have spanked Slovenia by a few more goals - do they still lack a killer finishing instinct? One goal against the Germans may not be enough! As a Northern Irish man, I am obviously 100% loyal to Northern Ireland's international team and I do a bit of winding up against England when I get the chance. However, yesterday I was delighted, not only for Terry and the performances that our Chelsea boys put in, but it's also for the good of the cup. Sure the media really grind my gears, but I am sure they do the same to you guys too. For the team (mostly) I would like England to win the cup. For the media torturing I do not. Sunday will be a great day. Lets hope the Germans are sent home!

Terry's performance yesterday was nothing but EPIC. That's how to win hearts and minds of the bitter bar stewards

I hadn't read the thread as i'm not a member of digital spy. You provided the link, was asking for you to paste in the content.. Not that it matters now, as its all a load of bollocks as we already knew!

I am amazed it has reached this stage of overreaction. The media really are a bunch of morons.

I don't think we will get Aguero.

We should sign him. 2 year deal, give him a go. Most definitely.

Nice work with the banning! That guy was a tool! Loved Terrys conference. He handled It vey well and showed his true colours. You cannot beat a bit of straight talking.

Maybe terry took it upon himself to answer rather than been asked by capello/gerrard

You're welcome! :)

I think the Italy game will be boring. Slovakia game too! Looking forward to brazil ivory coast! Samba meets muscle. Slovakia win 1-0 Italy win 2-0 brazil win 2-1
