Sports Thread

For those of you who like to chat about about different sports. It's not about Animals but I know there are some who like the odd chatter, and with the world cup coming up. This is the place to put it.

1st bit of great news England walloped the Aussies to win the World Cup in cricket
WS

And what a walloping it was too!! I enjoyed watching that one, especially after Mark Webber had just won the Monaco Grand Prix!!

What a Grand Prix AM! Monacco is always a testing race track with very few places to pass each other or the drivers taking the corners to fast.

SM

I love Monaco, especially the onboard shots! I have no idea how they drive a car like that on such a narrow track!! What did you think of Trulli's move on Chandhok? That could have been nasty!!

Personally I think it was madness AM. Rascasse is a tight corner and they need to be in 1st gear to take it, you hit that at any speed and look what happens not to mention an overtaking manouvre on top, quite literally!

I know they are Pro's but monaco is unforgiving.

I'm not getting on the motorway with any of you experts

Not a bad game, could have been better but at least we didn't loose......yes I know we could have won but I reckon the Americans had greased the ball.....Poor Green, never mind he did make a good save later on.
Brilliant goal by Stevie Gerrard, Heskey played a good game but Rooney.....the Americans had his card marked.
At least we got one point....lets hope we do better on Friday.

COME ON ENGLAND

I reckon the Americans put some of that oil from BP on the Ball just to get their own back
I just heard on the ITV News one commentator blasting Green, and I dont think thats on. The Guy made a mistake, as did Seaman, Robinson, Carson, and other Goalkeepers, and everytime the commentators crucify them, and thats wrong. A sriker can miss loads of chances, but if he scores the winning Goal he's a hero. A Goalkeeper makes one mistake, and he's the villian. RUBBISH
WS

I know what you mean WS, it's not fair is it. The Goalkeeper is under alot of pressure to do well 100% of the time and that just can't happen and they don't people getting at them, i'm sure they are mad enough with themselves let alone others having a go, as you say, no-one would moan at Rooney for missing his shot on goal or Lampard. Greens a good guy we just need to give him a chance, i'm sure he will do well on Friday.

Mmmm what happened to England last night???? we were not very good at all, we should have been able to smash Algeria, we really need to win our next game or thats it.....OUT and that would not be good, it may also not do us any favours in bidding for being the next hosts of the World Cup.
England you need to do better.

In one succinct sentence. We were rubbish.
WS

Lai

They must have been rubbish. I suffered 90 minutes of hubby swearing and screaming at the TV!

SM

WS

Ditto WS - i was trying not to fall

Lai

As I said earlier, we need to do better or we are out, I got so fed up with it at half time I came on here and posted......we were Blinkin' Awful!!!!
