Mexico is climbing in my mind.
I think I like horses from Argentina, but not humans.

I like cows from Argentina, they are delicious. I think I don't like laaran, he's too close to me.

The World Cup is getting to the stage where very good teams are getting knocked out, Mexico, Holland... and a few mediocre teams are still there, like England... The English are lucky half the Portuguese team will be suspended - what a crazy match they had against Holland.

@karlf.
Cool.
I think you can move to Argentina, I dont like you either.
You like Argentina, and you have more money than I do. It is easier for you to go there.

It was such a wrong decision at 93mins!

What about the Swz Ukr game last night!! The Swiss are such a boring team! At least the Ukraine were trying!!! Happy they went through!!

what/who DO you like then laaran lol?! i don't necessarily hate specific locations on the globe or a race - just certain ppl .

but like i said way b4 - Mexico & the US would disappoint and probably will keep disappointing in future world cups. my Dad and i were probably the only Mexicans rooting for Argentina on saturday lol! at least 3 out of my 5 picks are still in the running:

Brazil
Argentina
England

Spain rocks! They just can't beat the tradition. No matter how good they play in groups, they always lose important matches. Priceless!

France surprised me. I thought this would be the last Zidane's match in his career but they just keep progessing. Zizou also scored and that's certainly the best way to say goodbye.

Don't worry Post... England I reckon will beat Portugal as Portugal will have an understrength side but I reckon they'll meet Brazil in the semi final and then the curtains will come down on their WC. Fair play to them all the same for getting so far by playing well below their ability.

Guidelines for English commentators:
Quote:
1 - Within 1 minute of kick off in the opening match (Germany v Costa Rica), the commentator must mention England.

2 - Regardless of what two teams are contesting the final, England have to be mentioned within the first minute.

3 - The commentator shall refer to the Falkland Isles in passing at some point in the match if England play Argentina.

4 - Whenever a hat trick is scored, comparisons with Geoff Hurst will be made within seconds of the third goal hitting the net.

5 - Should England wear their red jerseys, then '1966' should be mentioned approximately 20 times.

6 - 1966 will be mentioned approximately 10 times a match, or only on 4 or 5 occasions for matches not involving England.

7 - Prior to the captain of the winning team lifting the trophy, the commentator will mention Bobby Moore. And 1966.

8 - When Germany are playing, they must be referred to as being arrogant by the commentator on at least 14 occasions. This must refer to their style, their passing, their haircuts and their general footballing ability.

9 - Should England play Germany, mentions of Winston Churchill, Dambusters, The Luftwaffe and Adolf Hitler will be compulsory. And 1966.

10 - All Scottish members of our commentary team must continue to refer to England as "we" and "us".

11 - We must ensure that nationalistic stereotypes are adhered to. Of course, the Germans are arrogant. The Spanish are bottlers, The Ivory Coast are fast but bad at defending, The Angolans are disorganised, The Argentinians are cheats and the French are only good because their best players play in England.

12 - For matches not involving England, we must only discuss the players that are playing in England. (eg - Holland v Argentina should be referred to as Van Nistelrooy v Crespo).

13 - The mythical "bulldog spirit" phrase should be used as often as possible.

14 - Each match involving England should begin with the phrase "England Expects."

15 - Should any player be involved in an injury that involves the loss of teeth, then references to Nobby Stiles and 1966 are compulsory.

16 - If in doubt, mention 1966.

17 - Praise all of the stunning new stadiums in Germany but emphasise that they lack the presence of Wembley, the spiritual home of football since 1966.

18 - Commentators should feel free to imitate the style of Kenneth Wolstenholme, the hero of 1966.

19 - Should any team feature brothers playing together, then Jackie and Bobby Charlton should be mentioned.
