12 - 10

[satsumaruma]

Yep,

that is the score that the reigning world champions of Rugby beat the Wallabies.

Oh dear. And after they had been telling the world press how they were going to thrash our little English bottoms by a huge margin.:)

[Sparv]

I hope our XV will fight yours in semifinals. I'm not very optimistic about tonight, the All Blacks seam... euh... quite good? A France/England WITHOUT RAIN would be great.

Uhm, dont want to remind you but what was the South Africa - England score???? :) (Sorry, just had to do it)

[JSchmidt]

Sad to see the most boring team in world rugby go through. Their discipline is amazing, but man, it's boring to watch.

[Berserker]

Can't argue with that... Cay sera sera!!!

But we ARE in the Semi's - you are not there yet.:)

A bit like Liverpool FC in the 80's -incredibly boring but won everything. Here's hoping this is a pattern for success.

Like Manchester United FC this year... They had an extremely slow start and some very boring football!! But they are winning even if it's 1-0!!! (the exception being Chelsea 2-0 and Wigan 4-0)

[satsumaruma]

Yes Man U have scraped a few this season.

There is adifference between Man Utd and Liverpool though.

Whe Liverpool were winning everything people said they were boring but didn't really dislike them. Man Utd are winning everything and people despise them with a passion - and don't get me started on that sphincter who manages them. Whe they knighted him they devalued the monarchy much more than Mad King George ever managed.

As the Manc Punk Poet - John Cooper Clarke once famously said.....".......they don't have a good word for him, but I do.....t*at"

The Beatles came from Liverpool, apparently.

Yeah, it's called log positions... :smiley::smiley::smiley: Liverpool had a chance at the UEFA cup last season and sadly lost it... But United won the Premiership!! I have respect for all the teams but United will stay my team! And you don't have to worry about Sir Alex for I fear his time as manager is coming to an end... And then maybe we can have Roy Keane at some point!!


But we will chat after United and Liverpool clash...

[Decado]

But we ARE in the Semi's - you are not there yet.:)

They are now but they had a bad scare!

Anyone who saw the South Africa vs England match and the match against Australia saw two totally diffent England teams. The first total shite and the one against Oz were fighters and seemed to have a belief in themselves. And Johnny wasn't even firing on all cylinders despite scoring all the points! For the first time in this world cup I am starting to believe that we may have a chance.

And, much as I love the Ozzies, it was so great to win!

Imagine, an England-RSA final. They kicked the crap out of us in the group stages and will be so complacent. The final will not be so easy now.

Man U are playing very badly so far and look where they are! They are getting it together now. It's going to be them or Arsenal this year. As for the European championship - I just hope it's an English team in the final for the fourth year running.

[Hisham]

I think it's Arsenal's year though i'm ManUt fan, suprisingly they play more efficiently opposed to when Henry was in the team, what i mean is they had the talent to go all the way for a couple of years but now they got results that confirm that talent. They're playing awesome football.

[Newbie]

I told you on the phone, Lee - it's not real football unless it's AFL.

Err careful. i think you are getting ahead of yourself a bit. France must be the favourites in our semi final and Argentina will be no pushover.



I told you on the phone, Lee - it's not real football unless it's AFL.

No Its' not - It's called Rugby Union:)


Football is a game played by men and women who kick the ball with their feet - hence 'foot'ball. Are you with me so far? Not too difficult for you non-Europeans to understand? oh good.:D

Hey Sats, the world knows what football is, for some reason only three countries in the world whose people talks english don't know what the word foot in football means :D.

Sorry mate, forgot that Africa and Asia are civilised places -unlike those 3 English speaking nations you mentioned with their strange ideas on what 'football' means:ko:

[Newbie]

C'mon, Rottun, these guys http://www.essendonfc.com.au/images/07/r9-gsp-35.jpg are far better than any rugby or soccer players!

Why are they climbing that post? is that part of the game?

[rottunpunk]

soccer is called football in my world
i think its part of the game lee, though my knowledge of inferior sports is lacking :D
:p

[Newbie]

Inferior sports? Huh! They're not climbing the post, that's in the background. They're leaping straight up in the air to catch the ball. If it were inferior our AFL players wouldn't be poached for other sports all around the world. They jump higher than basketballers, have better ball control than most soccer player and can kick further than just about anyone else. They really are all round athletes. They have to be able to do it all and at a run. Plus we don't go on rampages when our team loses. That's always a bonus.

[rottunpunk]

but rampages are part of the game. the fun part. :D
...wait, what was that about controlling balls and being good all rounders? ;)
:p

[satsumaruma]

If it were inferior our AFL players wouldn't be poached for other sports all around the world. .


So they are called 'Eggs' then? why not call it Eggball - the ball is about the right shape and all your players get poached.:)


have better ball control than ....

I can control my balls just fine thank you:ko::ko:


Plus we don't go on rampages when our team loses. That's always a bonus

Unlike New Zealand whose team goes on a rampage when they lose.

C'mon now children its only a game. Temper temper. I am sure your sheep still love you.:shocked:

I'm not sure you'll say the same tomorrow night...
BTW, I'm out of rep!:mad:

Thanks for the intention of rep.

And no worries mate - if France win good luck to them. I have always liked the way you guys play Rugby. With passion and flair and to always try and run at the opposition whenever the chance arises. the only two things that seem to stop you doing better than you already do is lack of discipline at times and sometimes the fighting spirit seems to go bye byes.

Of course against NZ you proved that you have fighting spirit aplenty.
So it seems that perhaps Englands main chance is to ruffle some French feathers and see if your guys can keep their cool.

Hopefully it will be a good game but I don;t think I will see it - will still be travelling back from Iaido squad training:confused2

[Hisham]

Why don't they catch it with there feet, it's football after all :silly:

You mean they might have better ball control than rugby players:p , why not call it australian rugby.



They really are all round athletes. They have to be able to do it all and at a run.

I guess but what's for sure is that the use of feet is obviously limited from a world viewpoint at least (minus 3 countries) in the australian soccer err i mean football :D

Hey Sats +rep for the ball control comment hehehe, the perversion is strong with you...*darth vader heavy breathing sound*
