Group F (Italy, New Zealand, Paraguay, Slovakia)

He's fine!

Italy are so jammy. They will get through purely because they are in the easiest group. Despite this I still think they will make it hard for themselves

I think being in easiest group will help them build on momentum. They are old but they do have decent quality and with little bit of luck they could go long way. With them you never know.

Hope Paraguay win. Never liked the Italians. Bunch of diving, moaning, cheating ****s.

i'm really liking this new idea of revealing to us exactly how bad these players sing.

[Helios Creed]

Is that the same Blanco dude who did that trick? Was it in 2002? When he trapped the ball between his two feet and hopped over the fella's foot?

that's him yes, and i think he did it both in 98 and 02

they must have been leap years.

I think I'll go in to work tomorrow morning - the connection there is a bit slow, so might not work, but I think New Zealand v Slovakia may be one I can afford to miss. I'll come home in time for the afternoon game, but I want to make an appearance once or twice this week and also some headphones and a cd should be being delivered...
