I think the right word is drama. As in "drama queens". I've never seen so many people fall down and fake injuries in such transparent fashion. Even WWF does a better job of acting.Diplo said:

Only ten times? I was thinking eleven at least!
Wow what a performance ... and I mean bad performance! Those boys really don't have the bottle to go all the way ... Erikson looked shit scared and clueless. We're going to lose to Germany in the next round, get your bets placed now. England are history! Oh well, maybe next time.My only hope for England is that, traditionally under Eriksson, we've always saved our best performances for the top sides (Although even then we seem incapable of playing much more than 45 minutes to our full potential). In all honesty, I think we need a big game against Germany or the like to kick our big names into gear.
Truth be told I'd prefer it if Sweden gets to challenge Germany, Ecuador scares the crap out of me. That is as long as Trinidad tobago doesn't upset Paraguya and England manages their first win against sweden in a few generations. (Which I thought was a given before the World cup started).

Yeah, I thought we were going to get the point with only 10 mins to go but they had been peppering us all game and had to score some time. Lampard apparently left his compass at home else we wouldve gotten about 6
The english fans are pretty cool though, looks like we've earned their respect. The number of neutrals supporting T&T is amazing. We'll have yet another set of fans rooting for us vs paraguay. Gonna be nigh impossible to make the round of 16 now that sweden has 4 points but stranger things have happened.

There is acting (see the entire Argentinian team) and I dislike it as much as the next guy but most people who don't play football have no idea what a real injury looks like. On TV it might look like nothing but if you ever play the game competitively you'll have a much better appreciation for how much that shit hurts when u get hit.

Hmmmm anyone who thinks that excitement and skill in football is only demonstrated when a goal scores obviously doesnt have a clue
What the hell, apparently the crouch goal is all over german media cause it looks like he fouled the defender. He yanked sanchos dreads mighty hard

:Shock: I found it immediately pretty strange that the defender stayed on the ground. That is completely unfair.
But again if the referee does not blow his whistle, it is not officially a foul.
EDIT: OMG, did everybody see Argentinia's second goal, unbelievable. So far that team is the favourite for the world cup.
