Paraguay? We're talking about the tournament favourites beaten convincingly here!

It should have been 2 or 3 - 0.

You didn't see the game RAM, did you?

For 75 minutes we dominated them, played them off the pitch. Owen should have scored, Sheringham and Scholes had superb shots saved by the keeper. Only in the last 15 minutes did Argentina come into the game.

It was convincing.

hummmmmmmm sounds quite similar to the France-Senegal match to me...

and I'm not going around there saying Senegal's going to win anything ;)


P.S. Sheringam's volley was not that difficult to save...scholes long range shot went right to the middle of the argentinian goal...if that's all you have to show, I'd rather leave it alone ;).

P.S. 2: I think the penalty was not :).

P.S. 3: Yep, you played better...but convincing?!?!?! come on...that's to be REALLY optimistic.

wtfg England!!!   Beat Nigeria and you're through, possibly winning the group.  

RAM, yeah, that Slovenia, Paraguay, South Africa group you're in is the REAL Group of Death, ain't it?  :rolleyes:

Don't worry RAM, Spain always f---s up in a spectacular fashion somewhere in the tounament :)

They'll follow the steps of the first Europian team going home - Poland :D

GO England !!! :D

The penalty was definitely right. Look at it from the camera behind owen and you'll see there is definite contact and he's brought down.

Screw you RAM. Go back to your walkover group. :)

We only need a draw against Nigeria to go through. :D

Eng-er-land, Eng-er-land, Eng-er-land!!!!

Dowding, a draw could be interesting...  It'd be a 2nd place finish more than likely (assuming Sweden v Argentina produces a winner and not a draw as well).  A 2nd place finish gets a second round matchup with SPAIN!!!  

hmm, maybe a draw WOULD be a good thing for BBS chest thumping purposes!

Go England!  (always my 2nd team behind the USA)

oh I don't hold my breath with Spain (mostly because we have a butter defence)...I just remark that we ALREADY are in 2nd phase :)


and I repeat again...walkover group or not, we didn't draw with Sweden ;) :D

no. Spain will cross with the 2nd place of the Germany-Cameroon-Ireland-Saudi Arabia group.

Don't make me bring up Spain's performance in '98, RAM. ;)

Thanks for the support Nifty. :) As runner up in the Group of Death (TM), we play the winner of Group A.

Which could very well be Senegal.

ah, we did have a performance in '98? :D :D :D...that's something new ! :D...

Clemente was a love muffin who always put an incredibly defensive team and screwed it badly whenever an important match showed...

P.S. the only match we played with the players who should've played from the start was vs Bulgaria, and that happened because we NEEDED a win...we won. 6-1. When is the last time you guys won 6-1 in a world cup? ;)

P.S.2...I can't recall seeing a world cup where my national team is not playing...IIRC, in WC'94 you were at home eating popcorn...so don't make me bring up England's perfomrance in '94, Dowding...

we live here and now, and to say that because you've won 1-0 vs argentina now you're the bomb, is as false as to say that, had you lost 0-1 Argentnia would be the bomb. IN the match I saw, I saw a better playing England...but nothing to be so optimistic as you are.

just imagine I start now claiming that spain will win the WC because we've won 2 matches. :D. We won both of them, yes...but without playing good soccer and with a butter-like defence.

You won vs Argentina but not with that much of a great soccer as you seem to claim. Is that win enough to be satisfied?. Yes. Enough for such optimism as is showed here?...

no :)

Exactly where did I claim we're going to wing the WC? Because I'm having trouble locating such a comment...

Well, for a start, I wouldn't use the term 'the bomb' like some half-arsed Noo York gangsta. :)

The point is we beat the tournament favourites. And that speaks volumes. They weren't Bulgaria, they weren't some journeyman South American team - they were THE South American team.

BTW - do you remember the last time Spain met England in a competitive match? Remind me of the outcome again... :D

Well I'm not that used to the english dialects :D, and anyway PAraguay is a team which is NOT that easy as you might imagine, believe me. Bulgaria was the 3rd in 1994, and in 1998 they still were a force to be reckoned with.

and no no idea aobut the last competititve match between spain and england...maybe you can enlighten me :)
