    Hi all, sounds like a few are then. I'm not into football but of course I will support England & keep my fingers crossed (& everything else possible) that they win! I even have 2 car window flags, woohoo. A few houses in our street have house flags and bunting & I think they look great.

    Well only a few hours to go & we'll know what sort of team we have.

    cheers

    England played two games yesterday. Draw on the one and lost on the other. I preefer watching the latter type of game as no interest in football along with millions of other people.

    Nice to see England are running to form, very good at kicking the ball to one another but useless at kicking into a net.
    I sometimes wonder if they have actually had the scoring system explained to them, they seem to think that you can win on points, a bit like in boxing.:lollol:

    Oh Pete, naughty naughty! I agree so much:hehe: Don't watch f/b too often but that's probably cos it's so boring cos they do exactly what you say - one kick to another player. Realise that that's a talent but doesn't make for good viewing or scoring actually. Feel so much for Green though! He'll never live it down.

    Having grown up with amatuers player & referee I have to say.... I can understand where the rage comes from:hehe::flag:Hate dirty players.

    Let's hope they do better in the next round! Come on England!


    cheers

    Never mind - at least Hamilton and Button were 1st and 2nd in the Montreal Grand Prix! And Schumacher ended up with a satisfyingly rubbish placing. Blimey! The way some of these OAPs drive. Shouldn't be let loose with a shopping trolley, let alone an F1 racing car. Well done Lewis and Jensen! And not a vuvuzela to be heard! :thmb:
