Yeah, they failed to score in 2002. With Uruguay in their group!
Seems les Grenouilles have a Final-NoScore-Final-NoScore pattern emerging.
If Bafana Bafana can hold them!

Yeah, it's been a bad week for France. First, Peugeot ran themselves into the ground at la Sarthe, letting Audi back into that 1-2-3 overall victory(at least one French team did win at LeMans; Larbre Competition w/the venerable[read......10-yr. old] Saleen S7R won final class honors in GT1). Now, they're having problems in World Cup group competition....................yeah, I'm laughing too at their......misfortunes.
Could've been worse, Galahad...........France and Germany could've been placed in the same group.
Brogan, you

The Ref was throwing yellow cards around like confetti so it was no surprise when someone was eventually sent off. That said, the Germans missed a penalty and hit the cross bar and had several other clear chances to put the game to bed so it wasn't just the Ref to blame.
Leaves England's group wide open again and gives us another lifeline in the unlikely event that we stuff it up tonight as well.

Yep but that's football. At least its not refereed by F1 stewards. Then what would happen then is the disputed American goal would be investigated after the match. The refs would then review footage, take testimony, review telemetry and take several hours to produce a result and at the end of all that the result would stand and for some reason Lewis Hamilton would be fined $10000 and docked 5 places on the grid in Valencia.

The ref really seemed to have it in for the Germans today. I felt sorry for them................................ .......................................not!
USA should have beaten Slovenia, but they were thwarted by the ref.
A fine display of refereeing there's been, today.
Just have to sit through England's attempt to beat Algeria now.
Coming to a concert hall near you soon...

Unbelievable. Absolutely sodding unbelievable. How many times Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard etc.? Bring in the 'kids' and Joe Cole. For Christ's sake, change it.

I thought you didn't watch football? Oh that's right, you weren't...
Rooney - unfit, and not in the right mind
Lampard - Useless in the white shirt
Gerrard - No bottle, you may have resurrected Liverpool in the Champs league final (which was several years ago, now), but you haven't got it.
Carragher - Shouldn't even be there.
Heskey - Nice effort, but when the goalscoring striker isn't scoring, being the non-goalscoring striker you are worthless.
Terry - Captain in all but name? Where were you?
The rest I'll excuse as they either did ok or weren't expected to be stars.
Where is Joe Cole buried, by the way?
