World Cup 2006

[Toe]

I don't know how France did so poorly last time, but I expect them to at least score this time out. I mean, they do have Henry.

[The Kraig]

It's almost as if France want to scare Switzerland into losing with all these icons playing (Zidane, Viera, Henry, Barthez, etc).

Switzerland will probably be happy with a draw, since the other teams are South Korea and Togo (who they'd fancy beating).

[Buford Ripley]

If they insist on playing Boumsong then I don't think France are going to go too far in this World Cup.

Barthez is playing, is there something wrong with Coupet?

Handball in the box by the Swiss, not seen.

This Ribery guy sucks from what he's been doing so far. Lost the ball twice, before the five minute mark.

Oh fuck, it's Mick McCarthy again. *mutes TV*

From what I've seen of Ribery from the Under 21s he's not too bad. So far his senior debut isn't going so well but then again it is still very early on the game.

There's been lots of hype over Ribery and he looks just awful so far. Lost the ball loads. And apparently Man Utd want him.

He's had a brilliant season in the French league which has got him some interest.

EDIT: Dagnammit. Every time they mention Streller or call his name out I keep thinking someone's calling for me.

Henry just took a cross-body block and didn't get the freekick. Lame.

Good God, he took a shot and nearly hit the corner flag.

Obviously the referee is all about the hardcore.

[Xero Gravity]

What was Cabanas trying to hit with that shot? Because it surely wasn't the goal.

[Buford Ripley]

Is it just me or does Rooney look like a lecherous old man in your sig Xero?

[Guest Ringo Mars]

Ribery's been good in France because no team in the Ligue 1 plays through the wings, most of French tooball goes through the middle. Marseille put him on the wing, he crosses, they score, suddenly he's the next coming of God

Not that I think he's bad, but most of his hype relates to that and nothing else.

[Rage]

Woah, he looks pretty fast anyhow.

[Toe]

Can France even get the ball near the goal? Everything they have shot has been way off.

..and the Swiss shoot from WAY out, and it's on goal.

WTF was that from Henry?

[Toe]

WTF was that from Henry?

[Xero Gravity]

Jesus, both teams have been giving the ball away a hell of a lot in the first 20 minutes.

Come on, how did he miss THAT?
