Senshik Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Actually the USA didnt' do so bad back '02. I was rootin for 'em... I'll still do. Thats awesome Don, thanks for the line up. Next to Tennis, Soccer is my next fav sport. Fucking love soccer season, especially The World Cup. Last WOrld Cup, i wasn't going for Brazil. I was actually rooting for Germany.

IguanaDon? Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 just finished playing Fifa world cup 2006 Felt good winning with England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 The best thing about being in the US for the World Cup is not hearing about 1966 thousands of times in the months leading up to the World Cup and for months afterwards after England inevitably don't get close to winning it. "Oh err, they're a good team an' all but they'll never be Geoff Hurst and the boys...." I wonder if Uruguaians still brag about the wins in 1930 and 1950.

soldier of fortune Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 England, i don't think so mate, no rooney, i think the germans are always a good bet, esp when at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IguanaDon? Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Rooney might come back at some point....... I fucking hope so anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 im surprised to see arsenal have players in the england squad, i cant remember many from the season but theo walcott... i dunno what sven is thinking, the kid makes rooney seem like a grandad (age wise) no one (apart from sunderland fans, yeah right) know anythign about him but go sven.... me,. ill be cheering for england (because ireland arent in it and i like gerrard) and holland, because they are the brilliance.... and don... the lightning seeds song... what a track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IguanaDon? Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Tis just that. Everytime the chorus sets in I feel a tingle up my spine, I truly do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 im not exactly a huge england fan but i love it you, by any chance (seeing as i noticed it with your two primal scream songs) are you a football factory fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IguanaDon? Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 You got me. I do like my Nick Love films. They're gritty, realistic and low budget, but I still love them. Green Street was good.... But I enjoyed football factory alot more. The intro with Swastika eyes was perfect too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 jagz kooner remix, like on xtrmntr... what a track... nick love is the man, football factory was the film, the good, the violent ending green street had hits charms but frodo playing a hooligan, an american playing a west ham fan and west ham.... doesnt make for a great film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IguanaDon? Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Felt good being a Chelsea fan along side Danny Dyer in FF, though. And yeah, when I sat down and watched green street with a mate we couldn't help but tag Elijah's character '' Frodo '' '' Oh, so Frodo used to be a journo? '' '' Yeah. '' '' Alright. '' ( Burst out laughing. ) I've got 5 Primal albums, Xtrmntr, Dirty hits, Vanishing point, Screamadelica ( Of course! ) and give out but don't give up. All top class. See it's never the same with Primal, that's what I love so much about them. OK, maybe you'll hear a few songs that are alike but most the time it's so varied you don't get a break, so it's always fresh. This is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off topic, I forgot this was my world cup thread for a few moments there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 ive got the same, and a few live gigs, and entire concert videos... i get to see them in july... back to football spurs... whiney bastards wenger... didnt cook spurs dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IguanaDon? Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 HAHAHAHAHAHA! Well see, I hate the gooners all around, but I'm no spurs arse raper either. My best mate is a Spurs fan and he's been locked away for the past few days, just cursing the Arsenal. I think Arsenal spiking the food is a bit OTT, but you never know these days. Good luck with Barca next week by the way mate, hahahaha. ii get to see them in july... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Well i'll prob cheer england as well, but i really don't expect rooney to be fit enough to play in it, he's broken more than one bone, but stranger things have happend! Holland look good, but you can never discount the Germans. Would like to see argentina do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 id like to see argentina do well, i hope d'allesandro plays for them the guy single handedly saved portsmouth not to mention see saviola and aimar do their work but then again you cant count out brazil ronaldinho, adriano, kaka three legends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
