C'mon England. One hour to go.

Hope it dont go to extra time and penaltys, only got 2 hours off work.

Look - Gary Neville isn't wearing any shoes in the studio, has he no respect for such an auspicious occasion.

I'm an ignorant Yank.

Who is Gary Neville?

One hour to go...

Who is Gary Neville?

I'm just kidding around. He's a regular in the England Team, didn't make it this time due to injury, he's in the studio as a tv pundit.

Hey guys what's all the excitement about ?

Is there a match on or something ?

It's not Accrington Stanely vs Barrow-in-Furness again is it ?

Gotcha.

Thanks.

I think Owens back on track.

He was getting himself chances on goal and missing by inches.

Now that he's stuck one away, it'll be a start of a spree.

Prediction: Three goals by Owen today. (Seriously, look at the Brazilian defence)

Quote - Ronaldo (From BBC)

" There's not a single defence in the world that can stop us "

They're on the pitch...

The National Anthems are being played...

They're shaking hands...

The coin is tossed...

England is playing from left to right...

The whistle blows...

KICKOFF!!......

ENG-ERR-LAND clap...clap...clap...

Ronaldo looks energized today for Brazil. He looks very dangerous but all of a sudden, Brazil can't get him the ball.

 

[p_p_man]

SHIT....

BRAZIL EQUALISES....

 

[District Line]

Poo.

Re: SHIT....

yeah, classic brazil stuff, too. oh well, can't expect to shut out Brazil. Had to know you needed to score some to win this one. Plenty to go.

 

[cybergirly]

Well this is getting interesting.

I'm really liking this Ref! He's letting them play.

Re: cybergirly....

NO!!!

 

[fanzee1]

oh, that's no good. I was going to ask whether they came up with the real deal. Hopefully tomorrow. And hopefully you'll have a match you can wear it for in a few days.

What I want to know is WHO WAS MARKING RIVALDO for goodness sake !

One the the most dangerous strikers in the world running on goal, so what happens ? They leave him completely alone in the penalty area. Nuts.

lots of breakdowns on that play. It looked like England was expecting the halftime whistle and fell asleep for a bit. Just saw the goal again. I will say this, the English defender who was late getting over had to commit to the ball first because his teammate directly ahead of him was beaten.
