Here's some news from CNN about the effect of England's progression to the second round:

Supermarkets have reported an increase in sales of mouth fresheners and breath mints, as employees try to hide their drinking from their bosses. Hangover cures are also selling briskly, along with beer, wine and pizzas.

Hmm...

:D

Not sure what you are saying here Memnoch. Do you mean that you would rather support Senegal than Denmark?

I can understand your comment about Owen - it must be just like watching Liverpool with Heskey and Owen up fro........ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Sorry, I dropped off for a bit there! :D :D

That was my point! If only Gerrard and Murphy had been fit...they would have provided the Dynamic Duo with a steady stream of possession... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

We're through 'sigh of relief'. After the debacle against Tunisia and the match against Japan, in wich we could have done better too, we won this one against Russia. Now Brasil is next.

Good Luck - you're going to need it ;) </font>[/QUOTE]Thanks, i guess. We'll definatly need some luck but on the other hand, who thought that Senegal would beat France in the first match ? It's only one match so anything is possible and besides, Brasil hasn't impressed me sofar. Denmark and Spain did however.

Eh... Memnoch

Don't you think that England have to beat Denmark tomorrow before you can discuss England vs. Brazil

A saying about bearskin comes to mind :D

P.S. USA have just gone behind 0-1 against Poland

EDIT: make that 0-2!!
