phiketpete Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 I stopped in at Busstop (Soi 4) this lunchtime for a bottle or two and a bite to eat. Arrived just in time for the start of the Germany-Paraguay game. The bar was not crowded at all at this time. As time went by the place filled up and then at about 2pm the volume was turned up on one of the TV's the larger one. It was an english commentary but I couild not understand it. The majority of the patrons now turned to watch this set leaving one or two still tuned to the Germany game. Yes the Essondon Bombers were being shown live from Australia in the AFL game of the week or whatever. As for me if the Denmark game is like the Nigeria game. I will switch channels and cheer on the Welsh against South Africa in the second rugby test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 So, is the half-time score to your liking, Pete ? England look like they could just take the whole thing out at the moment - momentum is a wonderful thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phiketpete Posted June 15, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 Yes exactly to my liking. Not too bad 3 goals on what is it 2 shots. Soerensen is having a blinder or is it that he is just playing blindfolded? I hope that the rugby gets off to a slow start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 16, 2002 Report Share Posted June 16, 2002 If NZ All Blacks aren't playing its not rugby (smile). Your subjet line is apropos here in the states. No one really cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phiketpete Posted June 16, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2002 You wouldn't be saying that if you had seen yesterdays match. Ireland could have and should have beaten New Zealand who were booed off the pitch by their own crowd. By the way Australia is ranked nbr1 these days.

racha Posted June 16, 2002 Report Share Posted June 16, 2002 Pete, The World rankings are always a bit controversial as i read it Australia have been around 3 or 4 in the world rankings lately, after yesterdays games New Zealand is on top with England second and the Aussies third, the game France lost to Argentina yesterday helped put us back on top, This is a new look All Black team with loads of new players and it will hopefully get better as they go on, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 Hey Steve now i forgive you for being an Arsenal supporter...... LMAO Racha. Aresenal and the All Blacks are not mutually exclusive. A few of those Maoris would make great American football players IMO. There have successful American Samoan football players who are similar to the Maoris in build.

Long Gun Posted June 18, 2002 Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 Soerensen is having a blinder or is it that he is just playing blindfolded? Yes, I gave Tommy the man of the match award - for England! Kilbane was similarly impressive against Spain, missing the rebound from the first penalty and then a penalty of his own in the shoot-out. Still, Niall did us proud again, after turning the game round against the Germans. Probably the most impressive of the Sunderland reps, however, is Captain America himself, Claudio Reyna. The US performance is the most surprising of all for me. Friedel gets a lot of the credit but the have shown a lot more bottle than I expected. Jones came on for half an hour and was kicked all over the pitch but he kept getting up for more. Off to see the Koreans stuff Italy at the Office with Froggy, and hopefully to see them do that speed skating thing again! LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
