    I am so glad we're all tied at 0-0-1. USA peeps will never get the round-robin concept?
    You're welcome, sir :eek:

    Thank you, Donovan McNabb vs. Cincinnati. :rolleyes:

    Been singing this all day

    It's raining, it's pouring
    Wayne Bridge is snoring
    Terry and Nessa went to bed
    And they'll be at it til morning

    That's the exact person I was thinking of when i posted that. Was posting from my phone, so I wasn't going to post a pick of McNabb.

    Keep those rolly eye emoticon going before i backpass a jabulani up the culo.

    It's a shame that soccer can end in a tie. NO competition should ever be able to end in a tie

    Let me explain it to you guys in this way about the ties.

    Let's pretend it's a game of one on one on one on one. The game is 270 minutes long, but broken up into three periods of 90 minutes each. One team can only play the other team at a time. You win points by winning that frame. If you win that frame, you get three points, lose it, you get none. Tie and you shall both be rewarded with a single point. At the end of the "270 minutes," the two teams with the most points go to the knock out stage where this is NO TIE.

    Football can end in a tie. So can hockey. During the regular season at least. And that's kind of what this round is like for the World Cup. I believe that once they move past this round, they do 2 OT's and then a shootout if need be so there won't be any ties..

    I watched it live yesterday. John Legend sounded good and so did Alicia Keys. I didn't like most of the international and local acts but some were OK/good. Black Eyed Peas sounded bad. So did Shakira on her first song but she sounded OK after that.

    Football rarely ends in a tie, and when it does, it's pathetic. Like I said, no sport should EVER end in a tie. If no one wins, why even compete?

    Korea is about to destroy Greece. They are too fast for them.

    Here's my predictions for tomorrow...

    South Korea 1 - 0 Greece

    Argentina 3 - 1 Nigeria

    England 3 - USA 1 (I would LOVE a draw. A win is what I'll be dreaming about tonight. But dreams are just that. I see Rooney exploiting our defense throughout the whole match and our rusty legs in the back being our downfall. I do see us beating Algeria and Slovenia to finish second in the group, though).
