Dude, no England fan is assuming we'll win with ease! I agree that we have to play to our potential to even have a chance of getting somwhere. But we can still do it, and there's nothing wrong with optimism. Why hold it against us regular people (in a manner of speaking) if the media are a bunch of tools? That's what i just don't get.

Assuming you will win it is enough TBH, rather than take everything one game at a time and progressing through the competition alot of people have already assumed you have already reached the final and won that as well, as for the media they have alot to answer for even up here, the constant mention of 1966 is another thing which pisses people off as well, we get the same TV and same adverts as you guys do and every second advert has some kind of England theme to it, which leads me to my next point, just how many f,ing Mars bars did they actually give John Barnes to do that advert? ?? He's a big lad now ehh?

None of us fans are assuming anything though!!

And yeah, i am up in Scotland a lot and have seen a lot of shouting at TV ads. I couldn't believe Barnes in the Mars bar ad either.

In what I've watched so far of the game, it's damned tough to listen to those vuvuzelas blasting all throughout the match. I know people are split on this, but to me it's tortuous to have them CONTINUOUSLY droning.

Well, looks photoshopable, just stick those words over the cover.

They're owned by Rupert Murdoch (the same person that own Fox News) so yes it's possible.

The NY Post has always often made headlines with their headlines, but my favorite one from years ago was... ready for this?...

CMON AUSSIES!

Sadly tho I cant see us getting a point because Germany is that good. Although it doesn't look so bad when you look at their rankings 6 V 20

But which is funnier, that or this:

That's not surprising... recent polls show 1/5 of Americans can't locate the US on a world map. Here's proof.

Australia getting maulled by Germany. By the way Australia were denied a clear cut penalty. The German player hand balled the ball in the penalty area which was a pena;ty for Australia and it wasn't given. I guess the Aussies are going to cry over this like they did in 2006 against Italy. So 68 minutes and Germany up 3-0 with Aussies a man down............. Hey bud which you like me to sing the "Lied von Duetschland" for you now.

Anyone see Germany tonight? Clincial as ever, but I would argue that Australia are alot poorer than USA for example.

Yeah, I hope the Germans aren't peaking too early, but on the other hand, Australia was really no match. Good warm-up for THE tournament side in history - they usually play above their pay grade in big events.

Shattered! f***ing shattered! Pim Veerbek is the worst coach of all time. No Kennedy, No Kewell, no Bresciano and isntead his got hacks like Valeri and Garcia starting for us. Our defence was crap and losing Cahill is a MASSIVE blow. We need a win V Ghana other wise the WC is over
