The Football.....

I was never a fan of Spain's recent style and I'm glad it's been found out. Also predicted Spain wouldn't make it out their group, wish I'd put money on that now.

Did France and Italy not both fall apart after their World Cup/European triumphs? Basically seeing the same thing here if I'm right: sticking with a style that everyone else knows, of course it's not going to go well!

I reckon Chile deserve extra helpings of kudos.

Well!

Chile, tastes nice and awesome football team. Respect!

Spain, just wow, what happened to them? I'm finding I have a bit of a thing for Thierry though.

I thought Spain played pretty well, Iniesta was superb but Costa and Busquets were poo. Chile were better though and yet another cracking game.

Kin'ell times 2!
Andre Agassi looks to be doing a great job in charge of Chile!

I was trying to figure out which footballer he was, and you nailed it only it was a tennis player!

Looks more like Bob Hoskins :

Could've done with Spain nicking one back for an extra 2 points.

Missed the game unfortunately. Is that group over with as a spectacle now or can we look forward to a potentially cracking NL/Chile game and the Aussies thinking they can get themselves a scalp with Spain trying to avoid 'nul points'?

The Aussies looked very good in parts and hopefully they can give Spain a scare, and maybe even beat them. Worth a quid maybe?

Holland and Chile will be battling for top spot, which would give them a game against the runner up of group A, which currently could be Brazil, Mexico or Croatia.

Things could get a bit tactical on Monday as the group A games kick off after group B so they'll already know their potential opponents.

Englanders, a bit of hope for this evening, courtesy of Chris Simpson's Artist.

he is the greatest thing to happen to football since the invention of the leg that is right it is wayne striker rooney and he is thirsty for goals. when it was yesterday afternoon wayne rooney was lying next to his bed in his hotel room in brazil completely naked and crying and feeling really depressed with himself because everyone was having a go at him for not scoring a hundred goals in englands first world cup awards match so he came up with a really good idea to get the world cup award tattooed right in the middle of his forehead to make everyone like him again so as quickly as ice he put on his brand new rollerblades that roy hodgson had given to all of the players as a good luck present and he put on his little denim shorts and his lucky gold coloured crop top and he rollerbladed to the tattoo salon that is next to the main childrens wig shop in brazil and when he went into the tattoo salon guess who was there that is right adrian chiles was already in there getting a tattoo of a big bag of meat on his stomach and he was laughing his head off because he loves big bags of meat so much and the tattoo man said to wayne rooney are you sure that you want to do this it wont wash off you know and wayne rooney put his face right next to the tattoo mans face and he said i have never been more sure about anything in my whole life and then he started slapping his forehead with a photograph of his son kai and he shouted do it now do it now do it ruddy now i am ready for this and then he screamed brazilio right into the tattoo mans mouth and the tattoo man said ok chill down my boy wanyon i will do it for you yah and when wanyons new tattoo was completely finished he rollerbladed back to his hotel with the biggest smile on his face that made his mouth look like his lips had given birth to a explosion of teeth and loads of people was running over to him and they was all screaming oh my god it is wanyon it is really him and then he did a massive slow motion skid on his rollerblades right in front of all of the people and he flicked his head right back and pointed to his forehead and everyone cheered when they saw his new throbbing facial topping and they instantly liked him again and then he shouted who wants to have a sniff of it and everyone screamed i do i do and as 4 little grey haired brazilian boys was having a deep sniff of his forehead it really boosted his confidence and with every deep sniff that the little grey haired boys took wayne rooneys confidence grew and grew and grew and i am so happy that he has got his confidence back because i think it is exactly what he needed and i know that when i am having a watch of wanyon slamming balls off his face and neck tonight i am going to have the biggest sniff of my television that i have ever had before and i hope that it will bring him lots and lots of luck and even if england dont win the world cup awards they will always have wayne rooneys forehead to look at and that is close enough isnt it.

I heard some bloke on the radio talking about the nuking of Spain this morning. ''Get a grip, man, it's only a game!'' I thought. And then I realised he was talking about an accession to the crown.
