Well I'll be pulling for the diggers but I will be drinking my favorite German beer.






heh, I am from Munich and we call Spatenbräu ("Spade brewery") derogatory Schaufelbier ("shovel beer") and it´s generally considered as the worst beer of Munich´s brands.
Most liked beer is "Augustiner" (at least in my circle of friends).


OK, I bought a 6 pack of these. They won't be cold until the second half but is this what you were recommending?

What the hell is the "British" all about? Is the editor for that newspaper so desparately short of any sense of history that he could not think of something English?

"Hey guys - I've got a great idea for a headline - it doesn't fit with the circumstances, its total nonsense, but I can't think of anything else"

Unlucky mate - hopefully you'll still make it through, but its going to be tough. Mind you wasn't June 42 the South Africans - the Aussies having been deservedly pulled out after their heroic defence in 41?

I think it will be down to the second qualifying spot for that group unless the Germans ease up and put in the scrubs for the 2nd and 3rd games.

OTOH, not 1 in 100 Americans could articulate the difference between "English" and "British." Whether they like it over there or not, that's the way it is. Samo-samo over here.

I agree that people make too much of Green's "error". As a coach (retired) I would argue that any goal scored against my side is the result of at least one error somewhere. By the way, the US beat England in the World Cup in 1950, and this time the game was a draw. Does that mean England is improving?

Well we need one real shock result from the first round of matches - lets hope the All Whites provide it. Unfortunately Slovakia are one half of a useful footballing nation; four major finals as Czechoslovakia - two World Cup finals and two European Championship finals (Champions in 1976).

This side beat Russia in the play-offs and are a useful team, but fingers crossed - 1-0 to the All Whites, Plymouth's Rory Fallon scores with 10 minutes to go and New Zealand hold on for a famous victory.........

A "poor" opening result is kinda the way they always start, I believe they have something like 5 wins in all the WC opening matches they have played.
As to choice of goalkeeper. Well, David James sure has had his share of bad/stupid/annoying/idiotic "mishaps", however imho he is still the best English keeper on the line, and he also has some experience in bigger championships, so I think I would have gone with him...
But atleast now Beckham gets to share of his experience (as is his role in this WC). If ANYONE knows how the English press and also supporters will get on your behind after a mistake it must be him

I still have hopes, but Lampard and Gerrard MUST be able to play better together if England is to go far in this tournament.

One solution would have been to score more goals ...

Well I'll be pulling for the diggers but I will be drinking my favorite German beer.

heh, I am from Munich and we call Spatenbräu ("Spade brewery") derogatory Schaufelbier ("shovel beer") and it´s generally considered as the worst beer of Munich´s brands.
Most liked beer is "Augustiner" (at least in my circle of friends).

Hey, nice find, would have never thought you can get such beer in the US :-)

It´s the same brand (Augustiner), but it´s their Maximator-Starkbier (stout). I dont like the heavy taste of stout, do you?

The "Helles" looks like this

Status: offline 		One thing I'm enjoying so far about this World Cup is to see some of the "upsets". I watched the physically smaller Japanese team get bounced around the field by the much larger players from Cameroon and then watched them win the game anyway. I also give credit to the teams that realistically know they have little chance against the teams from some of the FIFA "superpowers" but they take the field anyway and do their best. I also give credit to English keeper Green for dealing with the press and public after his error. Come to think of it, it would be great fun to see some of the high priced strikers offer public apologies to the fans every time they miss a shot on goal.

Thanks,
The stout is quite good, but not the right thing to drink on a hot day watching footlball. It is a more "serious" beer. OK, back to the beer distributer this weekend.
P.S. Nice showing by Germany
