England 0 Portugal 0

[ihtd]

Pretty much what it says in the title and sub-title really. Who's going, when you getting there and how.

I'm going on coach from london on fri evening/night there and leaving at midnight after the match i believe. Ain't got a ticket but going for the atmosphere and to watch it on the big screen with my dad. Always said i'd go to a World Cup city with him and finally am. A few questions, how good are the fan parks, how expensive is the larger/beer, whats the screens like etc.

4/5 euro a pint

No, but get there early to ensure you can get in.. the Frankfurt one filled about 45 mins before kickoff

You devious swine

but also a total genius

[SouthAussieRover]

You're more of a b'stard with each day that passes but I like you

[Ozz]

You sounded like Dick Emery there SAR.

If England lose today, and play crap then this will go down as a terrible tournament for us.

Win but play crap, then the jury is out

Win and play well, christ prepare for media overload.

Lose and play well is the most likely outcome for me.

[rover6]

ozziejones, I'd go for the last option as well.

Hargreaves starts in the anchor role and Rooney stays up front on his own.

Come On England!

[frosty]

I'll go for 1-1 with England to win on pens (!)

[SouthAussieRover]

It's like watching an Olmpic diving contest.

Try staying on your feet Portugal.

[American]

Yeah, Oklahoma, sorry but the Portugese players are doing nothing to prove people who call them divers wrong.

[USABlue]

Not too bad first half I did not think, god I HATE these yankee commentators, I really appreciate the networks showing as much as they have but next time get some people that actually know the game.

Any one have cell phone contact with someone at the game. We need the fans to do a cricket style rousing rendition of JERUSALEM, that will get our lads well fired up, make it happen someone I don't want our World Cup to be over.

Ref is not too bad only thing I see is he is not calling and high feet, seems like anything over knee high has been called all tourney, not today apparently. Oh and do the Portugese have to fall down and feign injury all the time?

Some one get "and did those feet" reverberating through the stands.

[SouthAussieRover]

Looks like Lennon coming on for Beckham.

Btw what was the point in bringing Walcott out? Give the lad a run at some stage. The unknown and all that.

That's awful acting from Maniche.

I think I'll give up watching football as the games descending into theatrics.

[Alan75]

Well Ronaldo, hope Rooney doesnt watch your reaction just before or after the sending off.

Training could be fun at Old Trafford.
