Yes! 2 - 1!

Portugal! Portugal! Portugal!

Sorry for the entusiasm, but the last time we won over Brazil was thirty years ago. :?

Anyway, we love Brazil. We even have a brazilian in the team (naturalized portuguese, scored one of goals :twisted: )

America, be prepared, we shall have our revenge.

North American football is rugby for pussies who can't take hits without pads and are too fat to run for the duration of the game.

England managed to beat some third rate team, barely. We're going backwards. It all looked so promising when we thumped Germany 5-1 as welll... Ah well maybe with Rooney and Jenas coming through we'll get a bit better.

As soon as we find a player that can play on the left we will rock! Keiron Dyer is brilliant, but he can't play on the left as well as he can on the right on in the middle.

The moment I changed the channel to see how the game was going, Italy made its second goal. This is not he first time when something like this happens. Damn I'm good. ;)

I doubt that one player will be able to turn us from the struggling shite we are now into world beaters. Dropping Emile Heskey would be a good start though...

Finland's likely not going to make it anywhere near qualifying. We pulled the worst possible section for the qualifiers, every other team there is big league. Whereas the Swedes got (once again) a section that is so easy to beat it isn't even funny.

Well, if we don't make it, I hope Italy wins (barring some cool underdog teams like Japan and South Korea in the last games)
