The New York Post is our equivalent of your tabloids such as the Daily Mail. 'Nuff said...

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?

These Germans look really strong.

Well, lets just say the Germans looked good and the Aussies,......not so much

Oh well, back to the drawing board.

I think it was more Rommel at Tobruk June 42 rather than April 41.

We can still progress, though probably dont deserve it.

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"

"Great lets use it!"

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?

You've encapsulated the exact thinking of the Post on all occassions.



Cap Mandrake -> RE: OT World Cup 2010 South Africa (6/14/2010 12:53:00 AM)

Ye gods! The Germans look good. I will be surprised if they don't go 3-0 in their group.

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.



cantona2 -> RE: OT World Cup 2010 South Africa (6/14/2010 10:05:34 AM)

Germany was playing vs a very poor Oz. We shall see when they come across a more sterner test. Looking forward to seeing Holland today, if they can hold their infamous inhouse fighting in check they may have a chance.

You're wrong, Moose. I can articulate them both quite clearly. No stutter, no nuthin'.

Spent all day Saturday at the pub...missed my flight Sunday morning and spent all day in an airport on a lay over after I rescheduled my flight...People should lay off Green...its a team sport and Dempsey should never have been allowed to get off a clean shot...that being said an inch to the right and Altidore could have produced a game winner.

World Cup 2010: Vuvuzelas may be on their way to the Premier League

• Vuvuzela debate likely to continue after World Cup
• Premier League would welcome the sound in England

JamesM -> RE: OT World Cup 2010 South Africa (6/14/2010 9:58:58 PM)

Those horns in the crowd are a real blight on this world cup.  I try and watch the games but I have to turn the TV off after a while because the horns start to give me a headache.  I really hope that these things are banned from sporting events, because they will rapidly have people turning away from watching those sports that allow these things.

aprezto -> RE: OT World Cup 2010 South Africa (6/15/2010 1:34:52 AM)

Of course I can hardly get my hopes up, but since we are there, and I am as patriotic as the next bloke, I have to add a plug for the Kiwis against Slovakia tonight. In our previous effort (at the world cup) the 'being there' was the victory. This team is a little better than that - or maybe a bit more professional. However, I can't help feeling that the best we can hope for is to score a goal and not get "Australia'd"



Misconduct -> RE: OT World Cup 2010 South Africa (6/15/2010 3:35:59 AM)

Is anyone else getting way to annoyed with the south african horn the Zuzu or whatever? Holy jeez I can't even hear the commentators during a game now

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?[:D]

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.........



terje439 -> RE: OT World Cup 2010 South Africa (6/15/2010 8:12:26 AM)

About England...
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 ...

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

Tomcat -> RE: OT World Cup 2010 South Africa (6/15/2010 12:48:24 PM)

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
