That's the sound of me eating my words.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Perhaps you'd be better off with this sort of crochet. Ole!

Do you need a doily?

[Mick Mac]

Is it the first big shock? Spain losing so far.

[Keef]

o, Spain lose their first match. Suddenly a draw for England isn't loking so bad... Shame however that England don't have the players Spain have.

Has been a funny set of opening matches really, quite a few surprises.

South Africa Vs Uruguay should be interesting.

['bout now]

It's the ball I tell you, it's just way too round.

[mockney piers]

It's 98 all over gain for Spain. Expect to go out winning 7-0 against Chile in the third game because Switzerland decide to lose against Honduras.....or something.

[Brendan]

The England players visited an orphanage in South Africa this morning. "It's so good to put a smile on the faces of people constantly struggling and facing the impossible" said Jamal Umboto aged 6.

BP have

announced that Robert Green will take over as their CEO on Monday. A BP

spokesman described Green an "an expert on spillages and experienced in

helping Americans through tough times."

[citizenED]

Thank goodness for Sapin and France. Now if England lose tonight it won't look quite so shameful.

[Keef]

Much as it's nice to see the Germans lose, I do hope we don't win our group, only to find they've ended up second in theirs!

[Keef]

BBC reorting that Green will be dropped in favour of James.

T be fair, James was given the number 1 shirt from the beginning, you wonder if Green was only picked for the USA match because James wasn't fully fit. I think he's the manager's number 1 choice, and Green failed to steal his spot when given the ideal chance.

4 4 2 OUT

Heskey OUT

Joe Cole IN

....and we might have a chance

[ruffers]

It's OK, we're on the BBC from now on. England never win on ITV anyway.

[kpc]

Noticed how bad England's performances have been under the Con/Dem coalition?

[????]

Disband the governemnt and get it on BBC
