Fuck him. He earned two grand for that shitshow and he barely put a foot right all night. I'm sick to fucking death of watching England teams play like they met for the first time in the tunnel five minutes before kick-off. If Rooney genuinely believes that booing was undeserved, he's an even bigger cunt than I already think he is. As the one faux_rillz might put it, straight tenderberries.

For some reason, I do feel sorry for the ref. It's not just heavy pressure on the players.

I've looked at the clip several times now & there was, in fact, mostly foul play from the Slovenian side, however the call was allegedly made due to this:
"Coulibaly appeared to rule that American midfielder Michael Bradley had impeded a Slovenian defender, even though video replays showed no infringement."
If you look closely you'll see his arms reaching back to hold the Slovenian player, which is what allowed for the ball to get through to the goal scorer. If not for that the goal would have been legit or a penalty could have probably been issued.

England vs Algeria... I spent Saturday pulling myself together, but it was hard. That game left me a broken, confused, lost soul, totally alone and unable to make sense of anything.
As their next game will be their last at this World Cup, I just hope they have some fun on Wednesday. String a few passes together, have a shot on goal or something, maybe try nut-megging somebody for the instant replay appeal. Have a laugh.
Slovenia & USA deserve to go through at this stage. Still think Germany could meet the Argies in the final.

'The problems and friction in the French team are down to a split over one man: Yoann Gourcuff.
Gourcuff comes from a privileged family. He is smart and he is respectful - but he is also still a shy little boy. In his spare time he listens to music, watches films and plays his video game systems. He is, in his own words, a little nerdy.
In a French squad that places more value on how much money you have in your bank account, and what girl is on your arm, Gourcuff doesn't fit.
One incident occurred shortly before the World Cup. Franck Ribery and Sidney Govou had organised a night out at well known gentleman's club in Paris. Several players, including Gourcuff, decided to stay home. When Ribery heard about this he immediately confronted Gourcuff and asked 'does your mother not allow you to go, you homosexual slur'
This is one of many incidents.
Ribery is the main instigator in the bullying, however he is far from alone. On the pitch, Gourcuff plays within himself. Scared because he fears the verbal retribution he will receive after the match from his tormentors.
In the squad, Gourcuff can count on only 4 real allies. His best friend Hugo Lloris, his teammate Jeremy Toulalan, elder statesmen Thierry Henry and captain and the glue that holds the team very loosely together, Patrice Evra.
When Raymond Domonech bowed to player pressure and dropped Gourcuff for France's second group match, that was the catalyst for the situation in which we now find ourselves.
Reports of groups hardly talking to each other soon surfaced, however, most notable were the French media suggestions that playmaker Yoann Gourcuff was isolated and suffering extreme verbal and even physical bullying at the hands of Franck Ribery.
"We're not all the best of friends, that's normal, but hopefully that does not translate on to the pitch," midfielder Jeremy Toulalan, a close friend of Gourcuff, said when asked about those reports.
"For instance, when I'm playing with Yoann, I'm not going to pass him the ball more just because we get on well,"
Just Fontaine, who scored a record 13 goals for France at the 1958 World Cup, was damning in his verdict on Ribery.
"Ribery? One day the mistake was made to say he was the team's brains and since, he has believed it. He is an arrogant man. He has a mood and an anger within him that is extremely unpleasant and disruptive" '
Bet Henry wishes he never handled now

DocMcCoy said:Nice to see there are referees who won't humour Brazil when they indulge in dirty, cynical play (which they often do), even if the commentators continue to turn a blind eye to it (which they almost always do).
Brazil were definitely trying it on, but the Kaka sending off was a joke. Keita runs into him then falls down clutching his face? And the referee didn't even see it?
And since it looks like Ivory Coast will have to rely on Brazil beating Portugal in the last game it seems stupid to cheat, at the end of a game that has clearly been lost, in order to get a player who would clearly have started that match sent off.

Kaka elbowed him in the chest off the ball, but that's OK, because he's Brazilian and he's a great player.

"Well, he certainly didn't hit him in the face..." Phew, that's a relief, eh?
If you whack someone off the ball and get caught, too bad.

New Zealand is in celebration, the faces on the Italians, disbelief. If we put up a respectable showing against Paraguay I will be over the moon. Imagine making the next round though, that would be huge. People lost a lot of money betting on Italy to win it.

That is insane. I'm glad Henry is with the nerd. I became a lifetime Henry fan when he put out those "stop hate" Nikes...
Nobody's going to look come out of this looking good, though...shut up and play!
