Yeah, that Andy Gray really get's on my nerves and Pat Nevin never stops moaning on the radio. Thank God for Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrenson.

So now you'll be supporting Argentina I Suppose.

That makes no sense to me, if dutch fans would be cheering for opposing teams in a dutch stadium, i don't think they make it out of there in one piece.
If any team didn't have 3,000 supporters the host provided 3,000 locals dressed in the team's colours to support them. England had 12,000 supporters but many Japanese support England because of Beckham & Owen. They follow premier league football very closely. What amazed me is how quiet the Japanese are until the ball is in the penalty area then they SQUEAL!

JAPAN 2 BELGIUM 2

I think Japan deserved to win; but overall a great second half and a great game [img]smile.gif[/img]

About the Rivaldo scenario; he even admitted that he was "play acting." FIFA are still considering what to do. I think maby both Rivaldo and the guy who hit the ball should of both got a yellow card but not a red.

People in JAPAN and SOUTH KOREA got given the chance to go for 1 team and follow that team throughout the World Cup (like Donut said). They had to wear that countries shirt and "go" for that team. It's a good idea, because otherwise (like Memnoch said) that without the supporters the stands would be empty.

Go PORTUGAL! USA are going down!

Though my 'team' for the competiton are Nigeria. A long shot, maybe, but they're worth watching just to see West's hair.

Boilover...South Korea have just beaten Poland 2-0. They could have won by 5-0, if not for some poor finishing. Go you good things!!
