Great game,really enjoyable some of the guys who refuse to watch this tournament are missing out

Brazil 4
Egypt 3

It's just too much. Available time will be devoted to GAA.

I would have made an exception to watch Egypt but didn't know it was on until it was over and Egypt were complaining that the Ref took instructions from the 4th official.
Not asking whether it is a good thing or not to have the 4th official giving advice but can the ref take definitive advice and change his mind after hearing from the 4th official who has only watched the incident on video replay?

Iraq doing ok. Nothing better to watch on. Really poor group this one. 4 of the 5 best teams are probably in the other group.

True feel abit sorry for the US as they'd probably make it through in Spains group, as it is they'll be lucky to get a point/win

A female school teacher told me that same thing once....

4 weeks of hell listening to that buzzing next June

Its really going to spoil watching the finals

Can't see it being as bad for the World Cup as it is here, apart from the South Africa matches. The fans at the games now are all locals, and these horns are some tradition or something, whereas when the World Cup comes around, it will be mostly fans of the teams playing and a few locals so not as many of them horns in the ground. Well I hope so anyway?

Anyone planning to go over for World Cup next year?
