didnt he push keita just a few minutes before for his first yellow?

[doremi]

There's a difference between that and elbowing someone/spitting/under-handed slimy ways some footballers have.

[The One]

not really. he didnt own up to his first yellow either. he pushed him behind the referee's back and got caught by the linesman

Portugal hit the front in the 29th minute against North Korea as the rain continues to pour down.

Are you a seppo Wally? 'hit the front' WTF?

[PeterCS]

Clearly not. He didn't say "slant-eyed rice-eating nook-toting slimy commie runts" or anything of that sort.

[DJ_Smerk]

Wally means they hit the woody square thing around the netty net thing, where the leathery leather sphere has to penetrate in order for a little point to clock up on the ticker-majiggy.

[PeterCS]

HATT DAAAWWWWWG!

[DJ_Smerk]

We have a wiener...

3-0 to the Portuguese.

[DJ_Smerk]

Make it 4.

[PeterCS]

The North Koreans will be revving up their nukes again.

Are you suggesting that Scotsmen don't use that phrase?

How strange!

[PeterCS]

Lever is perhaps suggesting it woudl mean a domestic in Essex, so it's non-PC in a sporting context.

[WideWally]

It's a goalathon!

6 - 0 now

[WideWally]

Make that 7

[WideWally]

The good news from this match is that Australia no longer hold the record for coppin' the biggest thrashing of the tournament.

Final score
Portugal 7 - North Korea 0

.

[JKLever]

I think Portugal just about shaded that 2nd half.

[DJ_Smerk]

North Korea will wage war on Portugal in the next few months.

[JKLever]

Pfft, the NK news broadcast will let them know they've won the world cup.

ANOTHER BRILLIANT SAVE FROM THE KEEPER MYONG-GUK, IF IT WASN'T FOR HIS SKILLS IT WOULD BE 7:0 29 minutes ago via web

[skully]

Very impressive effort by Portugal. I said "that'll do me" at 4-0.

[JGK]

That really was outstanding although halfway through the second half you got the feeling that the NKs were wondering how they could seek asylum rather than face execution when they got home.

[JGK]

USA have 3 goals for and 3 against, while England have 1 for and 1 against.

On paper, I'd expect USA to beat Algeria and top the Group with England beating Slovenia but getting 2nd spot behind USA on GD. Is that unreasonable?

And most likely to play Germany...

[skully]

So if that's how it finished and the stars align for Aus, then Aus would play USA and Engulund would play Germany (and lose on penalties?) in the Round of 16.

USA have 3 goals for and 3 against, while England have 1 for and 1 against.

Erm, yes. Thanks.
