It's not racist though is it?

Back on topic. England, Germany final. England win on penalties.

I can dream!

I'll be cheering on USA on Saturday night!

Personally I think the problem with the English team is that you're too dependant upon the same old big names that have proved game in and game out that they really don't gel well together.

Made me smile, wonder what words were in that list :D

Brazilian Carlos Eugenio Simon, who will referee England's first World Cup group C match against the United States in Rustenburg on Saturday, and his assistants have been given a list of 20 English swear words as part of a crackdown on abusive language.

Tell that to the ignorant racist over there.


Oh fuck off Wazzer, stop be a sour old **** for once please? You used to be fun.

There was nothing racist in what he said, he made a comment about the state of North Korea that is not unreasonable and a little joke.

Football please, leave your bullshit for elsewhere.

Actually I'm not very happy about that. I doubt referees are going to be learning swearwords in Serbian or Korean (for example), so this is a bit unfair on the anglophone teams. Plus, what the fuck are refs doing giving media interviews about their approach to refereeing before the games? Refs should only do their talking on the pitch; I hate this "refs as personalities" shit.

What Gaffer said, I would like to see an official complaint from the FA about this, as a ref is meant to be impartial.

Ah, but America has a lot of money to spend on its top athletes. And if they're any good they end up playing in Europe.

People have been saying this since the late 90s.

Only women, and men not good enough to play American Football, Lacrosse, Baseball or basketball turn to "soccer"

Usa will never be a powerhouse at football, no matter how much money they throw at it. You cant polish a turd.

Actually its taking off quite a lot now, more so than in the 90s I can't see them being world cup winners within the next 20 years but who knows after that. By Population alone they could produce a lot of decent players if the sport is popular.

Basically what Raven said.

Large population + loads of money + increasing popularity of the sport = eventual US World Cup win.

It's simply a matter of time...

I agree with Raven, their league is still developing, they invest a lot of money and their college system is perfectly set up to nurture talent.

It wasnt a real game though I thought - just a warmup for the team.

I wouldnt put it past Capello to have asked the Ref to have a word with Rooney to focus his mind before the competition kicks off.

On the other hand I have Rooney down as first english player to get a yellow so hope hes not too mellow :p

I've heard rumours the Yanks are going to turn up late on Saturday and claim victory.

The next WC will deffo be in a developed western country. After all the rapes, murders and muggings that are coming in the next month people will be releived to be able to go to a civilised(ish) country like the UK to watch football. Say what you want about the place, but it's got nothing on SA for shitness and sheer danger.

Its in Brazil.

Though I assume you mean the next next world cup, which will probably be in a European country, hopefully England.

Brazil is every bit as bad, wander off the beaten track and you are in big fucking trouble. The good places are brilliant but the rough areas are as bad as most townships.
