^^ Oh I am not doubting that. It works out great for Serbia now. They play Australia next and should at least aim for a point. But, in the game, as a whole, the Germans were the much better team. Norf, that defence conceded a penalty and gave the Germans at least twelve chances to score.

Even if they lose, the Germans have been the better team throughout.

Bloody hell! The ref is yellow card happy. 1-0 Serbia.

^^ Serbia have Vidich, saaxib. Anyway, if Serbia don't improve their ball keeping this might end up like Australia. There is so much defending a team can do when it's set up in that fashion.

^^ Shuush. Don't make me think too much, I'm watching the football yaaar.

I've got to admit that I did miss the little rascal.

Germany look like they've got the measure of this Serbia team.

No test. Just asking your opinion!

^^ Edgeware road I suppose. But you'll have to suffer the Arabs talking nonsense (alongside me of course).

^^ I thought you went with Gordon Brown dee. So what's your opinion of this new coalition and how is it changing things for your circles?

^^ Yes, they finished seventh but the tactics were not wrong. Wax fahan. War this is football talk, hadaan la isku xiiqin what is the point? Kubbada baro. P.S. This afternoon, please iga qalay. I'm going after the Americans.

^^ (It is her).

CL has sold her name to the highest bidder. This is not the one I know. Bax!

^^ Pique had a good shot saved by the keeper's legs. Torres had a good chance saved. Navas had a good chance saved. Alonso hit the woodwork. Villa had a chance. You only remember what you want to remember, saaxib. As for tactics, what was I telling you about Liverpool all season? What was I telling you about Inter, Bayern and Barca? What did I tell you about Greece in 2004? When you're wrong wa la iska qirta. War kubbada baro dee.

A&T, the winner of South Africa's group avoid Argentina, saaxib. So both teams there will have to go for a win. Nigeria CAN beat South Korea, saaxib. You have to remember that Nigeria only lost to Greece because they were playing with ten men (they were winning before that). They also narrowly lost to Argentina. Marka, to say that they will not win is a bit mad. South Africa are a rubbish team and if France get their act together they CAN win. This is simple stuff, saaxib. Norf, Zonalmarking or not. You actually don't really watch the games. For instance, Spain controlled their game agaisnt the Swiss and had several very good chances to score. Yes, width would have helped (and they did have it in the second half). But to speak in your radio caller certainty and say 'I told you so' to a game that was very close is just foolish. Brazil, diid ama ogolo do have a very balanced team and will not face teams that defend the North Korean way once they get to the knockout rounds (same with Spain and all the other big teams). There is no such thing as a perfect team, France won the world cup with bloody Dugarry up front ya badow. Brazil won it in 2002 with a rubbish goalkeeper. P.S. Form matters but we are not talking form alone. We are talking formations, tactics, choice of squad, manager and opponents. You on the other hand seem to base your results on the alphabetical order of team names or a mazy run that some player made during a game. Kubbada baro. A&T, I reckon England and Brazil will both win. Ivory Coast will defend again (Sven can't help it) but Brazil have a bit more guile than Portugal and should find a way through. Algeria wont keep up with England's fast pace.

^^ I've given up trying to talk sense in a thread where 99% of people don't understand the first thing about football, saaxib. Worse still, I find it extremely racist that people are turning the Nigeria loss into some sort of inherent African handicap. Why not say the same about the useless French, South Koreans, Australians and all the other teams that are going to lose games in this world cup? African wa qashin ku leh. Piss right off. :mad: Hadaba i maqla... Nigeria can still qualify by beating South Korea and hoping that Argentina beat Greece (which is not that hard, is it?). France can still qualify by beating South Africa and hoping that the other game is not a draw (which, again, is not that impossible). Brazil are a more balanced team than Argentina, it's a FACT. P.S. Norf, adigu horta you MUST read that Zonalmarking site every single morning, saaxib. Half of what you've been saying is similar to the annoying rubbish one hears from callers to the "You're on Sky Sports" show. There is gut feeling (which I use to say that Spain will win the world cup) then there is actual class, balance, form and tactics. Waxagu waa feelings all the way. Wax fahan.

Originally posted by Norfsky: ceeb.com Please go back to Lagos. Even if you were in the final vs Germany I wouldn't support you. I'm sure they'll be disappointed with the lack of your considerable support, saaxib. Nin waalan bad tahay (I bet your swear at the TV too).

^^ The Somali flag looks shorter by a couple of millimetres.

Spain got over their tournment fear in 2008 ya naas. There is no reason now why they should not win the world cup.

Heh@Myway & Addmore (Anti-malaria is just mad).

Last night, when South Africa were losing that game, they needed to make some changes to get back in the game. So, they brought on someone called "Surprise Moriri"! The name gives you a million and one ideas and thoughts about the time and disucssions that took place when this guy was born.

Half of them don't know why they're running after that car.

Allamagan, sheekadan dumarka o daaya, saaxib. (Wax fahan). "Wa somali, somali maha" "Sankiisa ma argtay?" "Wa African!" "African maha" "Talow caruurtisa ma sida ba o ekaayeen?" "Maya tuu qabo kolay wa qurux badneed" "Magac qurux badan bay laheed" "Amir" "Wax mindi gurigaaga ku yaal, ninkaaga ka qari" "Ninkaygi waxba ma dilo" "Ma Bantu ba?" "Maya wa Somali" "Dee Bantugu wa Somali" "Naaya, Ninkayga Bantu maha" "Cunsuriyad bad tahay" "Ma angia cunsuriyad? Siyaad Barre ba kuu adeer" "Cabadilihi Yusuf Xabashi ayuu wadanka keenay" "Cabadilihi Yusuf waa Mujaahid, maaha sida Abtiga Riyaale" "Barre Hirale xaggo baryahan ka dhacay? Isaga Bantu o eg" "Naa siyaasada naga daa. Ninkan caruurtiisa dilay ka sheekeey" "Wa axmaq" "Waxan loo xidhay wax ka fiican mayay waayeen?" "Waa runta. Blue iyo black isma raacaan" "Hada miya la dilaya?" "Allah og" "Xalayto waxaan arkay daahyo nooc kale" "Xagay?" "Dukaan hindi xagaaaa ku yaal" "Daahyo wan o bahaanahay" "Miyad i raaci dee?" "Haa" "......Bantuugan hada miya la dilaya?" "Maxa naga galay. Somalia boqolaal ba ku dhinta maalin walba" "Wa runta..."

A&T, no team is perfect saaxib. Who will Argentina get a rude awekening from?
