I love Mascherano.
Just gives it the big ones 24/7.
The bloke would fire up doing the dishes.

What kind of arsehole would favour Hayden Mullins over Javier Mascherano?

OK
Lolz I never knew watching brazil get humped would be so much fun. Watching Alan Hanson criticise David Luiz was up there with watching Sunderland lose in the play off final. He basically said Luiz will never be a centre half as long as there's a hole in his arse.
Hope Germany tear Argentina a new one.
Most boring team to watch, so many 90th minute goals for them and just scraping through.
I just have a feeling about them.
There defence has kept 3 clean sheets in the knock out phase and really hasn't seen much action for their keeper
Germans got there share yesterday
Not to mention that little no 10 has been quiet. Bloke has the ability to turn it on at the big stage
This is a big thing, at the start of the tournament i heard alot of people saying Argentina wont win because thier defence is shit. I didn't disagree, i thought it would be there biggest weakness. Im tending to disagree now!
Also germany hit such a high against brazil, it can be hard to back that up.
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
They have had a bit of an easier draw. Just doing enough to win games.
However I agree that Germany would be on such a high and may struggle to back it up. Hoping for a German win.
Oh mate, I'm with you on this one..
He was pumping the team up any chance he could get.. He was all about it..
Yeah I saw one on Ninja's facey page this morning: At least the Brazilian classic "Two Girls, One Cup" finally got a sequel: "198 Million People, No Cup."

Two Adidas teams in the final.
Risk nothing.
Hello peeps
Doin' a bit of reminiscing lately over the last 4 weeks and I found this UToob clip...
Check out a younger Les!
1990 was the first World Cup I watched...I mean actually watched live! I'm talking about 45? odd of the 52 matches.
Being on the rock'n'roll helped with a 'gap year' after my apprenticeship ended (in 1989) and I used to set up a dicky digital timer with my CRT telly plugged into it.
SBS was spot on even back then with their airing times...as they still are.
I was greeted by a smiling Andy Pascahlidis with his porn moustached mug before most matches. The theme song was like an alarm clock.
SBS had a knack for using good music for football. I loved when they used 4 - (The Cruel Sea - This is not the way home) and it turned me on to their music.
So...got a question. At 9' into the clip the song changes after the Ciao & whistle to the bouncy little ditty until 26' and I'm bum fluffed if I know who wrote it.
I have a sneaking suspicion it's from some quirky band like Talking Heads. Can anyone help?
Bonus:- Nipple slip 28' lol

43' - didn't know Scolari was a ref back then !
Ah great memories - do have much of that still lying around on VHS here awaiting digitisation. During that WC SBS started the tradition of having the daily show from a live location - in this case Les and Johnny would be in some beautiful Italian garden somewhere in the sun, once they had a report from an Italian restaurant whilst dining with Craig Johnston.
Talk about class - here is their France 98 intro...
For all of their faults, Les and his team have changed coverage of football in this country for ever.
Could you ever see Channel Nein doing anything as classy for their Origin coverage?
Great posts, memory lane time!!!
My lasting memory of SBS was France '98 when after the final Les and Johnny looked like they'd run 6 marathons. They gave each other a massive 'dude shake' and Les turns to camera and says "Viva Le France".
I can only imagine they went outside, smoked a big cigar and slept for 3 days.
Ha - just quickly looking at their book and just before that final show there was chaos and old JW had lost it with everybody and was walking out. He had been to the final, seen his precious Brazil lose and come back on a Metro "full of pissed Pommies having a farting competition". Les calmed him down and Johnny said "I'll do it because you are my friend and understand. The rest of them can get f******!!!!".
Highly likely they consumed a bottle of Grand Marnier afterwards.
and retro - I think it's just generic 1990 filler music, not an actual song from that time
And the clones have made the finals.

Oh dear. Nice con job there by robben too.
Quality ref.
Yellow for Robben for a tangle with Silva
Yellow for Silva for the most blatant professional foul ever
Consistent standards
Brazil going to whinge like champions after this game:
Penalty awarded when outside the box
Second goal awarded from an offside position
