That game was great - I had a nice refreshing kip.

Post by **Best First** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 8:44 am

yeah, i watched a DVD and got back in time for penalties

which were also rubbish.

What DVD? If only there were penalties on said DVD. Is it a rental? Perhaps you could return it late? Have that World Cup feel anytime!

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 8:59 am

I watched half of Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 3 instead.

"[composite word including 'f*ck'] you, you car wash ****!"

Then I watched the Swiss miss all their penalties. Heh.

I watched the first five minutes of the second half, then went back to season 3 of 24, and checked the final score on Ceefax at about half eleven.

I feel I made the best choice possible, given the circumstances.

since I kipped between 8 and 10, I was totally awake for the rest of the night. I watched Desperate Housewives.

It was quite good, but I think it was the last episode in the season. Given the chance, and I think I speak for most blokes, I would [composite word including 'f*ck'] the living **** out of Longoria.

Hatcher is still lush as well.

i like the ginger one, she has an air of filth about her.

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 1:26 pm

Indeed. For some reason I gravitate toward Bree and Lynette, the two older ones.

id have them all - the ginger one strikes me as being capable of looking good in rubber, and swining a whip - but then I think this about most women from time to time...

Post by **snarl** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 2:28 pm

Longoria strikes me as a nasty.

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 2:31 pm

Um, so... Brazil and Spain to go through?

Teri Hatcher is a walking skeleton.

I like Eva Longoria best, although I don't want to sleep with her.

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 2:40 pm

I'm rooting for Ghana.

I think Teris ok - Eva is pretty but to girly for me, id break her.

Pissin' Poonani · Post by **Pissin' Poonani** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 3:10 pm

Eva's very pretty, but I don't understand all the hype to be honest. I think her 'celebrity' gives her a bit of a boost (if that makes any sense whatsoeversir).

Like Spidey, I gravitate towards Bree and Lynette-mind you, I wouldn't gravitate so much that we'd be sharing a spit-roast, over-the-back style handshake or anything-that would just be weird.

So football-it's the third quarter, and England need three baskets to the silly-mid-on to take the Stanley Cup or something?

Shanti418 · Post by **Shanti418** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 4:23 pm

I don't watch Desperate Housewives, but Teri Hatcher is too skinny. Marcia Crosss (the redhead) is hot, but Eva is sexy and beautiful and you know she's a tiger where it counts.

Of course, let the record show she's going out with Tony Parker, who is not only a member of the MOST IMPORTANT TEAM INVOLVING A BALL CALLED THE SPURS, but who is also a Frenchman who makes the girls swoon. So double "nyah, nyah, nyah" to all you in England. Oh yeah, and I've seen and talked to Eva at a Spurs game before as well. So triple "nyah, nyah, nyah." lol

Dude

the team you describe in capitals plays in London.

Spain - France is pretty dull IMO.

Hound · Post by **Hound** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 9:10 pm

Thierry Henry is a dirty cheat. He got tapped in the stomach, and fell to the floor holding his face. France scored their 2nd goal from the resulting free kick.

France played pretty well in the 2nd half though. Zidane scored a nice goal.

Post by **snarl** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 9:38 pm

French bloke cheats? Persih the thought!

Suppose Daveed Geenola did play for Spurs...

btw, I have a french WW2 rifle for auction. Mint condition. Never used, only dropped once!

Still more interesting than all the England matches, though.

I know I'm a bit late with my reply but

Yeah what a lousy match, Holland vs. Portugal. I mean, what drama! Really horrible sportsmanship.

Our team wasn't brilliant, but I felt that at least they were trying. Sorry about all the missed opportunities. But by Jove, those Portugese really didn't make themselves popular.

Bleading sods.

I've been thinking... maybe he was clutching his face in despair.

"Ooh, I'm Thierry Henry... I'm wonderful... running along with the ball... ooh, being tackled, gonna fall over an--... OH MY GOD I'M FRENCH!!!!!!!111"

I mean, come on - that's gotta be a shock to the system.

thats like saying firm poo is better than runny poo.

Hemry just doesn't get it does he. Yes he was obstrcuted, and thus entitled to a free kick, but that in no way mitigates the fact that he tried to pretend something far worse had happened which had the potential to get the other player sent off. "In my head i am not a cheat". Yes, Thiery, but in, you know, reality, you are. Cock.

Dylan - the Dutch didn't exactly cover themselves in glory - Robben on his own provided enough bad play acting and hystoronics to support a trilogy of star wars prequals.

To be fair, from where I was sat it looked like the Portuguese realised that the Dutch were gonna throw themselves to the ground like they'd been shot regardless of what happened, so decided they may as well just beat the crap out of them anyway...

Kuyt was diving like a bitch as well.

I find myself being actually embarrassed by some of these players reactions.

Loads of them in that game were. ****** disgrace! Sda thing is, people are getting used to it now. It's almost as if they accept the diving but only go ape over the diving + holding face incidents.

Why can player diving not just be reviewed after games with mass bannings administered as punishment... + the cane. And a REAL punch in the face.

i totally agree - FIFA talks about fair play but, given that its often hard for a ref to spot simulation, why is this not something that replays can be used for?

My preference is thatthe player they were trying to get cautioned then gets to actually do something to them that would cause them to recat in that fashion, so in thsi case Puyol gets to stab Henry in the eye with a fork.

i'd also like to see some interviewers grow some ****ing nuts and not allow (people like) Henry to get away with muttering some crap and not tear them to pieces for it.

Come on, that is class! He didn't do it to cheat he did it to entertain us!

I remember seeing that. Laugh? I nearly shat!

sidestreaker · Post by **sidestreaker** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 8:16 pm

yeah robben has that nasty habbit of diving and with his teribble acting talents makes it a very distastefull to watch....which a player with his qualities doesn;t need.
