Nice one! Go USA.
May I refer you to the sticky at the top of this board?

You dolt 
read Arnolds sticky at the top of the page.

Subtle as an air riad Classic !
Oh bollocks.
I do apologise.
Still - what a result, eh?
3-2 it finishes…
Bummer I got Portugal in the sweepstake in work.
Come on Cameroon now… (my other team…)
Have emailed the mods in the hope they’ll delete this little ahem indiscretion.
Title changed, jjiimm. You friggin’ dolt indeed. 
Sorry Coldy. Sorry everyone. 
No worries, jjiimm. Just consider yourself lucky that it’s 7 AM in New York right now. 
Great result for the US. They really had to hold on for the 2nd half but they did it.
Well done the US of A.
Now if you’d be so kind to put your collective good thoughts towards a small little green island who are just going to kick some German ass within the next hour it would be appreciated
Crosses fingers
Go Ireland!
Contrary to expectations of many Irish people to whom I have spoken, most Brits are rooting for the Irish too.
In fact, as I was listening to BBC Radio 1 illegally on Freedom FM pirate station this morning, Sara Cox said “Good luck to the Irish from everyone here at Radio 1, and especially to anyone in Dublin who’s listening to us illegally on Freedom FM.”
Though of course I’d never expect reciprocation on Friday. :rolleyes:
Of course I’ll root for Ireland! Not only is my liver Irish, Ireland also kicked my country out of the qualifiers! How can I NOT root for them?
Unbelievable!!!
“Golden Generation” indeed…
Gotta dance all day long!
Even in this victory, Holland had a hand: John O Brine was trained in Amsterdam’s Ajax!
The USA team has not defeated an European team by such a margin since 1930!
Cor Blimey. I was watching it on the telly.
Portugal weren’t bothering to defend at all. I’m really looking forward to USA v Korea now. And there I was thinking that the USA would tumble to the bottom of group D.
Now for Ireland/Germany. I’ve got my winTV window in the top ocrner of my monitor, so I can watch and surf. I’ll probably end up in front of the big telly in the lounge before long, though. I’m at home, you see. I’ve got some work to do (freelence stylee), but it’s going to wait until after the match.
Hard to beat someone by a margin of less than 1…
Errr… how much smaller than one can a margin be, exactly?
But yeah, we taught John O’Brien all he knows. Even Dutch! I swear, this guy’s Dutch is better than that of the average native player, not that their intelligence is indicative in any way.
Doh! I meant O’Brien
