h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, as an Aussie I've got a snowflake's chance in hell of seeing any progression, stuck in a Group with Brazil, Croatia and Japan. Ah me.

Has everyone else got their Diary all worked out though? And the beer ordered?

yep, but as I am from bristol its not beer its

Haven't organised a diary yet. My intention is to watch every game I can 'till the wife goes nuts. Then I'll cut it down to one game a day

This post has been removed.

I'm really not looking forward to the match England vs Paraguay tomorrow here in Frankfurt, the first fights between German and English 'fans' already took place last night at a feast on the Main No idea who started it and how many were involved, but the mere fact makes me very wary to what is going to happen tomorrow after the match

I'm a quiet Shed guy, I don't do hooliganism

oh, and your moustache is crooked Bella

It is ? I guess I'll take it off then and not go on pretending

I know this is a slightly belated point but I can see Australia going past the group stage- I hope they do. Why is it that as an Englishman I would wrote for not only the British Isles but also (it turns out) the colonies as well, and they (I'm guessing here) would happily see England fall into a pit. Odd that, maybe it's latent guilt on my part. Sorry about all those criminals.

They're not your fault, and if you ask me, the Germans are worse, just think of what they did to that French policeman a couple of years ago

I remember that. France in 1998. I heard recently that Britain topped a European poll of the continents worst thugs. I can't help feeling that's just a little bit of anti-English sentiment coming in. Never mind, nothing like a bit of football to stir up a few good old fashioned national hatreds eh?

I'm not allowed to watch the World Cup.. Hubby doesn't like football and says I shout as loudly as when I am watching boxing </>

My father once drove me to a friend's brithday party while he was listening to the cricket. I don't know what happen but the noise scared the sh*t out of me. When me, buv and father were watchign England vs Argentina and Michael Owen scored, the dog ran from the room in fear. Happy Days. Which also frightened the dog.

I never noticed it getting rowdy in here. What was modded?

I wish I knew, but I don't remember it. Thought at first it was something i said, but I don't think I posted twice , so probably something Matt said. The mind boggles

Well, the day is here. I hope you all put your clocks back last night.


About forty years should do it I reckon

If you say so

beer - check
pizza - check
flag on the car - check
flag at the front of the house - check

what time is it?
*starts to panic*

Which channel will it be on ?

I'm watching it on BBC1 (I think)

I'm watching Germany games on German TV and the England games on British TV.

thinks he's watching the others too.. but he's got another think coming!
