You should see the police down here Chave, went to watch the game (despite hating football) at the guildhall and the fights were many, but shit..... The first half was really good, we totally had it together but the second half was flakey, that's when the police had to come out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first half was really good, we totally had it together but the second half was flakey, that's when the police had to come out. Was it outside the guildhall? Sun + Beer + Football + Pompey = trouble. Were the police over-reacting or were people being proper dicks? I also like Burchill (the white guy) from T&T. He qualifies because his mother was from Port of Spain. He's not a bad player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because we haven't got any players at the tournament, I'm putting my support behind Shaka Hislop, former Portsmouth player and T&T keeper. I'm hoping he keeps Sweden out in the second half (apologies to CurryMan). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The three substitutes rule is, I suppose, tradition. But that's part of football, conditioning to play the full game. T&T 0 Sweden 0. Awesome game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaParkaMarka 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 Yes it was. Great game, great finish. What I really liked is that the refs generally let the game go...players were still flopping around, but only the really blatant stuff was called. Kept the game flowing.

megaadvice 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 Ivory Coast are really great to watch, going forward all the time without fear. A number of their players impressed me, their left back went on a couple of great runs, Yaya Toure and the other central mid could both hold their own and more in the prem by the looks of things.

Guest Report post Posted June 10, 2006 I thought parts of their midfield were awful until around the 70th minute. EDIT: The guy with grey or whatever it was hair was really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 God, Argentina are lethal with the set plays. Ivory Coast must have wondered how the hell they were 2-0 down at half time. Argentina defended superbly however, they're all in good nick it seems. Shaka is one of the nicest guys in football yes, I was happy for him.

Guest CurryMan Report post Posted June 11, 2006 I´m so f*cking upset over how the swedish team performed. They didn´t make one forward run it felt like everyone just stood there. Three players in my mind came away from the game on a decent note, the goalie Shaaban, wingback Alexandersson and Tobias Linderoth. Everyone else really desperatly to think this over and show that they know what they are doing and what they are doing there... overpaid *******ASDfadsfaF* I wasn´t impressed with the England - Paragauy game before the Sweden - Trinidad game I was kind of hopefull and then that happend...

k thx 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2006 Allback was pretty dire when he came on. On the other side, Sweden weren't outplayed, and at no point were they undone. Any other day it'd be an easy win. I fancy them against Paraguay (although if they don't win that they're a good bet to go out) and could get something from England. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
