Stadium looks like there is less than half of the capacity in there.

 

[Moomin]

I can't believe they got Scooter to do the countdown for kickoff.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Come on Engerland.

 

[Roztitute]

Come on England.

For being such a big match, its probably the worst turnout of supporters ive seen so far in the tournament, would have thought the locals would have been trying to get tickets!

 

[Rook]

Haha. Interesting viewing-that's for sure. Did you catch Giuseppe Rossi yesterday? Was he kidnapped and forced into the ESPN studio?

Chinaglia is no longer with us so they had to bring someone in I guess. ESPN booth mostly does a decent job. Wish they would replace Lalas with Martines though.

It may be a silly question, but are England the only team to have all their players play in their own countries league?

Yes.

Spain is close, but has 4 playing in England.

Cheating midgit Nasri

 

[Azzurri]

'Shall we sing a song for you?'

Classic banter from the England fans, there, considering the French won't understand a word.

 

[Rook]

Joe Hart's jersey. WTF

 

[Pat's Van]
