LOL! at Dwight Yorke getting hit in the gonads by Gerrard's volley! I know exactly how it feels, as I'm sure many men do. Still pretty funny though.

Nice game, England.
Great goal, pulling hairs like a little girls.
And you call us, argentinians, cheaters. HA!
When the Argentine jumped with Peter Shilton at 8,000 feet above sea level, in Mexico City's Azteca Stadium, to touch in the infamous Hand of God goal, Maradona was at his closest to the sun.
After a controversial Italia 90, a positive dope test in 1991 not only triggered a 15-month ban but hinted why at times during the World Cup, Maradona played not so much like a man possessed but like a man deranged.
Suspicions of flakiness were turned into confirmations of near lunacy by another positive test that saw him thrown out of the tournament, officially for use of ephedrine, probably just one ingredient in a witches' brew of drugs coursing through him.
The bloated, grotesque Maradona is a sad parody of the snake-hipped, mercury-heeled teenager who astonished the Wembley crowd when Argentina played England in a 1980 friendly.
Maradona's fall from grace

England cheaters? PAH! I think not somehow.
Er... ever heard of Maradona?
A bloodied McBride played on after Italy midfielder Daniele De Rossi was sent off for elbowing him in the face in the 28th minute on Saturday.
U.S. goalkeeper Kasey Keller also spoke highly of the Fulham forward, who needed three stitches under his left eye. "Brian has titanium plates in his head already," said Keller. "You need somebody who's going to put their head in places where others might not want to, that's a big part of it, especially when you know you are going to be under pressure against teams like Italy."
In 1999, McBride had three titanium plates fitted when he fractured his left cheekbone playing for Columbus Crew. A year later he had another three plates inserted after he fractured his right cheekbone.
Also in 2000, McBride needed a blood clot surgically removed from his right arm after being injured while on loan with English club Preston North End.

Why did the U.S. have to advance? They scored one freakin' goal and if not for that Italian Forrest Gump they wouldn't even of had that one goal. Why must we have to have another agonizing trip fest cluttering up our televisions?
Peace
