Good to see you, doggie! May I say you look great with your little GERMAN sunshade. And you certainly want to support GERMANY? So what I see above is just a spelling mistake, right?

Even if they were singing noone would have heard them due to the Vuvuzelas. I agree they should be banned. I bet the US team will get better and better, then there'll be songs too. I suppose you're supporting England? How did you like the game yesterday?

England completely dominated the game, and were very unlucky not to score more goals. Dreadful goalkeeper blunder by Robert Green to let in the American goal. England really should have won.

I've heard the same joke at least 50 times since last night. I reckon a lot of people pre-prepared the joke for the inevitable. Consider it public domain

If the vuvuzela were to be banned it would be excellent news

Poor Mr Green, I can imagine the English media tared and feathered him today. Cool song, btw.

Sheesh, and Ghana - Serbia is a nail-biting game....

BBC News article on the ban on the horn things being considered:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...10/8737455.stm

As is rightly said in the article, they entirely drown out the singing which is so much a part of the atmosphere of the game. Dreadful things!

Cheers! I might plonk this on my facebook page, so that people can see what a witty and humorous person I am.

Unless they've already heard it, of course. Which they probably have.

So maybe not then...

Brazl, Brazil, If one team should win everytime it is always Brazil!

Although, there is always a but, there is a couple of of beefs in that team that I hope they cover themselves of shame, so bad they played this year in my beloved team. Cornudos.

Dunga is a smart one, velvet glove in a steel hand. Great player and great selectionador.

This the best example of poisonous understatement in the last hour!

If you asked something like that chez nous, in the same circumstances, you will find your self different. I do not know how, or how much, but certainly different.
