[Spirit]

Piers Morgan documentary on ITV right now......get it on catch up if you missed it.

Sad news about the opening ceremony singer who died of meningitis a few days ago

[foxdie]

Amused by the fact that the flag icons on Googles world cup results page were created by someone sat 2 meters behind me

(He released them under a "free to use" premise, and well Google did just that, nice to see your work being seen by billions of people worldwide!!)

They're in group G dude....

[SGHOM]

Ah ! So they are I really must get a wall chart.

Anyway, glad you spotted my deliberate mistake. ......... As you were peeps

[HJM]

So how long into the England v USA game before Rooney gets sent off ???

I'm sure the Yank defenders will be thinking of various verbal insults to wind him up.

I think this is where England have gone wrong in the past - not enough intelligent players who can control their tempers.

Good as though Rooney is - he's just another Gazza ???

[SGHOM]

Anyone watching the live concert from Soweto tonight ?
It was very good according to Alex, my nephew! he's just got back . Live my arse lol

[Jane]

We had confirmation yesterday that we can leave at 2.30 on Weds 23rd to get to see the England game - I knew there was a reason I stayed at this company

What are other England fans doing? Will the country grind to a halt on that day

[SGHOM]

I'm a very busy full time carer ..... So I'll have to go to mum & dads to watch it !

[Spirit]

Well I'll be home to watch the opening ceremony and the first game tomorrow.......advantages of being the boss

Luckily we employ all ladies who have no interest whatsoever in football.........so the WC won't impact us

[SGHOM]

Loved the concert, & the official world cup song by shakira...... We should have entered that in the eurovision !

[Jane]

I'm a very busy full time carer ..... So I'll have to go to mum & dads to watch it !

You poor old thing you

[SGHOM]

Just 3 hours away from the greatest show on earth !

But be prepared to be dissapointed...... The group games are all about not losing, & not trying to win

[SGHOM]

My worst fears have been confirmed, as warned by my reporter on the ground

[Spirit]

Here we go ! Feet up, waiting for kick off.

Come on South Africa !!

I think this is where England have gone wrong in the past - not enough intelligent players who can control their tempers.

Lol, we're buggered then aren't we? Tremendous Skill & High Intelligence aren't two things are normally associated with one another where English footballers are concerned.

[SGHOM]

0-0. HT
well played bafana bafana..... They've put more of a fight than we did !!

/edit

brilliant... Brilliant decision by the refs assistant for the disallowed goal . Not many would have spotted that

[elnevio]

Wooo! 55th minute of the first game sees the first goal of the World Cup, going to South Africa - and it's an absolute belter!
