[Giles]

Touché

[Beatle]

oh - I'm gonna make this even more interesting..if England makes it to the quarter finals I will wheel Giles around for say 15 minutes and do the dishes at the Party !!

Lando - I will try to skype in but we watch some of the games at the beer garden ..so not sure - but enjoy - I bet England's gonna have a hard time nonetheless…

[Beatle]

Okay - to keep random clean - everything soccer related - fire away..

we're ready

[Giles]

Our achilles heel is Rooney.  The USA coach says they will not try and wind him up:

I'll be on Skype…G

[Beatle]

yep…...

[hectic]

And for the love of god, please no mention of 1966.

If England makes the final I will eat my undersized 634S.

@Giles:

Lando, one thing is for 100% certain, USA will not make the final…If they do, I'll give you anything you want from the stock room...G

Anything huh…

[stever]

@stever:

giles' parcel has been in customs since about 10 o clock last night
lando's parcel cleared customs about midday on tuesday
hanging out next to the front door!

and giles' parcel won by about 3 hours! thanks guys!

[Giles]

Yep Lando, but:

a) It won't happen, and
b) I don't hold them in stock and if I did, they'd be in the safe which is not in the stockroom.

[Giles]

So Lando and Stever, in the warm up USA V England qualifier (who's parcel will get to Oz first), England won.  The scene is set…G

I knew you would say something along those lines. And G, the pressure is one you guys. No surprise if we lose but if you all lose… Uh oh!

Hey, I got no issue with that! I will be rooting my face off on Saturday! I say we all Skype and watch the game…

lando - the USA team is not as bad as you or some might think… on the official bet list that we run at work my tipp is England :USA 0:1

[Beatle]

[Seul]

My teams:

Mexico
Slovenia
France
Argentina

In that order.

Huge footie fan over here. Too bad Hawaii's own Brian Ching didn't make the cut for the US team but hey we might not make it that far anyway.

Agree w/L its expected we'll lose but if the three lions go down in their first game, against the Americans no less, well…  ??? ???

[Beatle]

LOL..4 STARS 4 GERMANY

[shoque]

I'm an absolute soccer noob.

Objectively (if that is even possible), what teams are the favourites this world cup?

[Giles]

I got this from a customer this morning - he's Swiss so probably not an authority:

Today the madness starts guess you're betting on Lichtenstein, Swaziland or Andorra to make the finals?

[Beatle]

Damn .. Ref should have given that 11 m ..

[Giles]

I have to profess, I do not come from a great footballing family.  My father lives in South Africa and he's "escaped" to Greece for the duration…
