Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
Apparently Freddie Ljunberg is desperate to beat England so the English players at Arsenal don't take the mick out of him   with Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole possibly leaving that only leaves young Theo and he needs a note from his mum before he can play.

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
I see those "efficient" Germans, just played the South Korea national anthem "twice", instead of the Togo anthem straight after the Korean one.

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
Got these from another site...
Canadian TV
Anchorman: "Craig, how will the Mexican goalkeeper approach this game, given what's happened to him this week?"
Craig Forrest: "Well, his father passed away on Thursday - he'll be disappointed with that..."
From ABC's commentary of England v Paraguay:
"There can't be a player with more hype surrounding them than Michael Beckham."

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
Out of interest, Higuita actually went on some sort of celebrity makeover show in Columbia, which has radically altered his appearance. Apologies for the really small picture, but it was only one I could find that showed him before and after

Commentating classic from Dion Dublin during the Mexico v Iran game on Radio 5 Live, "He's given away a corner, but rather a corner than a goal at this stage."

In Columbia footballers are even known to get killed for scoring an own goal in the world cup...
