    Headline news for 2 days!!

    Where have you been??

    I kind of switch off and go deaf when football is mentioned. Selective deafness. I have kids hitting their teen years and who are constantly getting at each other, I have fast developed an ability to filter out anything I don't need to hear.

    :( as much as it hurts me to say it, england was robbed.

    They played spectacularly but just couldn't connect foot to ball to goal.

    Argentina v Nigeria were great though. It's been an overdose of football here. And more for the rest of the week :D

    Isn't the collective salary of the English team about 100 times higher than the USA team?

    And the best they could do was a 1-1 draw?

    Seriously????? :D

    Are we overdue for a footballer price crash?:rotfl:

    The "we've got a crap football team" group.

    But you do realise England were just held to a draw by the USA, right? :rotfl:
