Yeah well, forget about that...it's almost diplomatic football nowadays, only thing to look forward to is the occasional outburst from Robben, which is exactly what he did today. Now if he does the same thing to Brazil once or twice he's gonna make me very very happy and very very drunk.

Brazil 3 Chile 0, business as usual from Brazil. Too bad Chile was quite inaccurate in the last 3rd half (especially their shooting) of the field or Brazil could have a tough match.

Yea it was embarrassing to see Batty puffing away trying to chase Ozil down for that 3rd (or was it 4th) Kraut goal.

Can someone translate this joke for me?

Spilt beer down my new £40 England top. Washed and hung it out to dry last night and I woke this morning some b*stard had nicked the pegs!

Means they didn't bother with the shirt, they only stole the hook or whatever it was he hung his shirt to dry on.

I found something similar of facebook...

Guy goes into a brothel..asks the mistress,"How much for humiliation?
Mistress says "£37.50"
Guy asks "What do i get for that?
...Mistress Says " An England shirt

So what's this about Van Persie having a sook?

The unusually united atmosphere prevailing over a Dutch World Cup finals camp threatens to come apart at the seams ahead of the quarter-final with Brazil after an outburst by Robin van Persie to coach Bert van Maarwijk when he was replaced in Monday's 2-1 win over Slovakia. Journalists from Dutch TV station NOS said it was clear from lip reading van Persie that the Arsenal star had said to van Marwijk - after flashing him a dirty look - 'It is not me that should be substituted but Wesley Sneijder', when he was taken off after another insipid individual performance with 10 minutes remaining. "False!" retorted van Persie. "I didn't say any name in particular." Robin Van Persie remonstrates with Bert van Marwijk as he is substituted for Klaas Jan Huntelaar during the Slovakia match.

"But I said nothing bad to the coach, nothing that could harm the squad," added van Persie, who was a vital member of both the Dutch squad at the last World Cup and at Euro 2008. Van Marwijk, who replaced Marco van Basten at the helm after Euro 2008, moved quickly to try and quell the rumours of discontent but he still called a clear-the-air meeting between van Persie and Sneijder after the match. http://www.smh.com.au/world-cup-2010...ml?autostart=1

Dunno, v Persie is just dissapointed with his overall performance i guess. He consider's himself THE star of this team. but so far he has been one of the weakest links. On top of that, he and sneijder have never been the best of friends and there's always some sort of struggle who leads the team. I thought he matured over the years, but i guess i was wrong.
