Games already started and well, NIL ALL.

Maniche scores for Portugal B side

1-0

Wow... that was faster than Germany yesterday...

This seems to be the WC of the fast goal.

And Portugal's playing smart by sitting all five of their guys carrying yellows.

Wow... that was faster than Germany yesterday...

Actually this thread was started after the game started. Germany was faster - 4th minute.

Oh, ok. My mistake.

I'll be cheering on Portugal, I have them in my works sweepstake:)

I'll be cheering Portugal simply because I can't stand Mexico (CONCACAF rivalry and all ;) ).

By the way, love the quote in the sig. :)

My favorite film of all time.

Definitely worthy. Peter Sellers was a god.

Portugal have make the 2nd round so they can lose and it's doesn't matter.
Mexico need a win or draw to make the 2nd round.

If Mexico lose, then it's up to Angola to beat Iran. Angola must win, a draw is no good. Mexico's goal difference is +2 and Angola's is -1.

What is the Angola score? Then again, I expect ITV will keep us updated inbetween Gareth 'I'll take a penalty' Southgate's valuable nuggets of information.

Ooh, speak of a penalty...

Idiot mexican handballs in penalty area and Portugal score penalty goal (Simao).

2 -0 to Portugal

You get Southgate? Gotta be better than our crap.

Oh, and Mexico scores!!!

Mexico pulls one back. 3 goals in thirty minutes, this could be good.

Fonseca for Mexico replies with header

GOAL!

2-1 to Portugal

GOAL!

Shouldn't that be 'GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA(etc)L!'?

Shouldn't that be 'GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA(etc)L!'?

I'm not an insane Brazilian :p

AND

Iran 0 - 0 Angola (24 mins)

I'm not an insane Brazilian :p

Phew. We don't need any more of them.

(The commentators here are unbearable - I watch the games with English commentary if possible)

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, it's Mexico, they do not celebrate goals in english, but in spanish.

Gol

Phew. We don't need any more of them.

(The commentators here are unbearable - I watch the games with English commentary if possible)

Unfortunately, ESPN/ABC have the rights to all coverage here, unless I want to watch in Spanish (and frankly, after I've had enough to drink, despite being effectively fluent in Spanish, I do have a hard time following it). I wish I had the luxury of English commentary. :(

Phew. We don't need any more of them.

Yeah, those guys are crazy. I prefer the English commentators.

The ESPN commentators in spanish are pretty good, actually.

I laugh every time they call Ronaldinho Jar Jar Binks, they're pretty funny.

They do WHAT? LMFAO!

yeah, they call him Jar Jar Binks. Pretty funny, taking into account that they look alike, except for the fins. Same smile, at least.

So is there a Ronaldo the Hut too?

Dammit, I don't get ESPN en espanol. I only get Univision. :(

I sense a great PhotoChop opportunity there. :D

What a tard! :eek:

Not, but Jabbanaldo looks like a great idea.

LOL for the mexicans!, their fault for believing themselves too much

Penalty failed.

Well, Mexico had a penalty from a Portugal handball - AND MISSED.

They always miss.

And a Mexican sent off. Game over.

Bad call, I think it was a penalty. I'm not sure, although.

They always miss.

L. Perez sent off - two yellows. :p
Not getting better.

Iran 0 - Angola 0 (53 mins)

Good news for Mexico!

according to ESPNSoccernet anyway.

If Mexico loses, it goes to goal differential, and Mexico's got the lead there on Angola right now.

I RETURN!

Ahem

Yeah, those guys are crazy. I prefer the English commentators.

Could you imagine John Motson? 'Gerraaaaaaaaaaard! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!'

(after resaying of goal, I discovered the O is very much the extended sound)

Yeah, considering that the "a" in "goal" in English is silent. :p

Iran 0 - 1 Angola
Amado Flavio (60)

63th minute!

Iran just tied it up, though.

It does, however, seem to reflect your ability to make a single post. :p

Iran and Angola still at 1 ALL.

The jolt forums were going slowly, and I got a bit 'submit reply' happy. I got an F in IT by the way.

But they made us use iMacs! IMACS!!!!!!

¿Qué?

Maybe I shoulda took Spanish instead...anyway, I'm a windows boy! They made us use mac's equivalent of paint or whatever it was for some project. Gah.

Anyway, for those in the UK: who has the next match? I think him with the nose on the ITV said they have it, but I'm not sure.

Mexico is safe.

Siesta me thinks.

Ooo Corrie's at 7 tonight and Emmerdale's at 10! Must mean ITV has the next match.

The following is a distraction from the first sentence.

HELLO!

Mexico is safe.

If you call having to play the winner of Argentina vs Holland safe.

(the strangest use of the word I have ever encountered, but hey, I like innovation. :) )

I meant "safe" as in terms of advancement. :p

Man... Portugal vanished after scoring two goals.
