Ghana comitted suicide when trying to play the offside trap near the half way line :confused: Argies vs Italia England vs France Let the 'real' games begin!

Propaganda against the courts i say, and there is no better 'go-between' than our very own Duke

Capital punishment exists everywhere. What makes ours any different? HA, maybe its because it seems crueler (if there is such a word) in the eyes of the west and those of us who have been lucky enough to be educated there. What gets me however is the fact that some of us have become so 'educated' that we can actually question Allah's (SWT) guidance. Who said the following words,,,,,,"we gave you books and schools and you became educated f*&ls"? We should be asking for guidance for the islamic courts in the hope of seeing some sort of consistancy in their future judgments and not question Allah SWT.

I have my day planned like this,,, 1.30 - Duhur 2.00 - shopping 3.00 - sttle down for the game with the lads 5.00 - celebrate?? Go Ghana!

I take back what i said, i would like to face France in the semis when they beat Brazil in the 4trs Germany will NOT beat Argentina!

I think the best team won in the end, unlucky aussies

Brazil will not make the final, defense to weak. Argentina will beat Germany, England will beat Portugal, Italia vs Argentian Semi, England vs Spain semi. England vs Argentina Final

^^I predict Portugal A great WC so far, some great games. Last nights Argies vs Mexics was a classic game with a great goal at the end to settle it.

Great performance by the Black Stars indeed. The start of an African renaissance?

Thinking of who to cheer for, an interesting website based on gdp, aid and defense spending, gdp, life expextancy etc,,, click here Ghana 'worthiest World Cup team' Ghana is the worthiest team to support at the World Cup according to a website ranking nations on national ethics and "global citizenship" criteria. The World Development Movement says its table highlights global poverty and the inequality of nations at the World Cup. Fans can find out which are the best aid givers, the most indebted or the least corrupt and cheer them on. Sweden and Tunisia join Ghana near the top of the list. The USA, Saudi Arabia and Australia are at the bottom. Benedict Southworth is director of the WDM - part of the Make Poverty History campaign. She said: "Whoshouldicheerfor.com is a fun and interesting way to think about a serious issue, that of global poverty and inequality between the nations competing in the World Cup. "When their favourite team isn't playing many people will want to shout for a country that has the odds stacked against them. "Some of the poorest countries in the world are playing in Germany, let's give them some support." WDM's World Cup supportability rankings were determined by averaging each country's position across 10 criteria. They were: Life expectancy, national income per person, military spending, aid spending, carbon emissions, income inequality, health spending, external debt, corruption and the number of companies among world's largest 500 multinationals.

^^didnt like the Isreali flag, but he plays in Isreal Player Name: John Pantsil Squad Number: 15 Position: Defender Current Club: Hapoel Tel-Aviv Date of birth: 15 June, 1981 Weldone the black stars and with the USA getting a point vs Italia, Ghana just needs to win their last game vs USA!

lol, what a load of cr*p! Lets hope for peace people, peace - a word seldomly used in this forum Qudhac, i dont really think Riyale is the best man for the job of influencing others with regard to Sl's cause. The hate for anything SL never ceases to amaze me :rolleyes:

I have given up on the WC, may the best team win!

^^can the Mods/Admin deleat the above statement? But anyway, no one is denying the closed cinemas. It is simple, if you show X-rated moves than your cinema will be closed for good wheather you show football or not. So to twist the story by making it look like if Maxkamadaha don't want people to watch football is outrageous. Sheikh Sharif also denied this accusation when he was asked this question last night on the BBC. So guyz you are holding the stick on the wrong end. I'm afriad we have become the equivalent of the misinformed westerners, jump on the bandwagon types without much thought or 'filtering' of the regular news. :rolleyes: we accept things at face value

To the Aussies, enjoy it while it lasts :cool: Red Sea, not a football (not soccer) fan?

Have you ever seen a dumber performance by an African team. Forget Ghana i will be against them from now on,,,,

I managed to catch the last set but Fededrer made too many mistakes in the final few games and Nadal is still the main man in Paris.

The Cost lost due to lack of finishing. They could have won that game. Two wins vs the Dutch and Serbia should see them through. Ghana 2-Italia 2

Should be a cracker, Federer recently lost to Nadal so its payback time for him. But i always root for the underdog, but who is the underdog here? :confused:

^^you are right, England looked good in the first half but got tired in the end. That Crouch played well but Owen needs a goal. Looking forward to the game tonight, starting at 11pm with work 2mrw but its the WC

The final we have been waiting for with RF vs RN. Nadal unbeaten on clay for years while Federer will want that first French title which currently belongs to Nadal. Here

Group B Frankfurt Saturday, 10 June Kick-off: 1400 BST Live on BBC One (from 1240 BST), BBC Radio Five Live (from 1300 BST) & the BBC Sport website

I'm with Dallas, game 1 to Dallas

^^enjoy it, we want to see the pic when you get back Nuune still thinks Sweden will win

World Cup Widows ready to fight By Daniel Bardsley, Staff Reporter Dubai: Thousands of men will spend happy hours in front of the television during the World Cup but what about their wives? Across the UAE, many World Cup Widows as they have been dubbed, will be battling to stay sane as their football-mad spouses sit glued to the sets. Some will be banished to the kitchen or the garden as the small screen takes over their living room with cries of "offside", "goal" and "free kick". For others, the house will seem all too empty as they endure evenings home alone while their husbands meet with pals in hotel bars to catch the action. Jackie Ratcliffe, from Scotland, is expecting the house to empty soon when her husband Gordon leaves most evenings to watch the world's top footballers battle for honours. "He will be watching the games in various places around town. Also my five-year-old son Findley is a big football fan so he'll see some games too. My daughter Hannah and I will have a really girly time when they're off to watch the football," she said laughing. Carole Prior, a British housewife, will have plenty of time to herself her husband Alan and 13-year-old son Scott are jetting off to Germany to watch England play. "I'm being deserted," she joked. "They watch football, they play football and they talk about football ... I'm more of a tennis fan so when they're away I'll be free to watch the French Open," she said. Dubai resident Lilo Gallacher, from Germany, who is married to John from England, has decided there is only one way to avoid becoming a World Cup Widow: "For three-and-a-half years out of four I don't care about football at all ... But for the World Cup, I have decided to stay at home and watch the games with him." GN
