Wow, cards flying out right and left.
What's the record for cards in a World Cup game? This must be getting close to it.

MEDIC!
hehe.
Regarding records, there's plenty of info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_records
... but nothing on most cards in a single game that I can see...

The commentator mentioned earlier it was 16 cards I think that's of both colours, so we've broken that tonight.gauchogolfer said:
Anyone want to guess how much time will be added on after all this fuss?

Ta. You're a scholar and a gent.
I think England would be wise to send Rooney into a preemptive anger management class before Saturday.
Absolutely barmy.
Entertaining.... but entertaining in the "my God, look at that train-wreck!" kinda way.

Well, I'm disappointed for the Dutch (as I mentioned previously I was looking forward to the prospect of playing them), but as for England taking on a Portuguese side shorn of two (and possibly three) of their top players? I'll take that, thank you very much Mr Ivanov.

To be fair it's the only way England would win.
Didn't the Dutch complain that Australia was a side who play physical football? Yeah right.

No, I wouldnt have said it otherwise.
England have that potential, wether they reach it or not is completely debatable.
They won't reach it with that half-wit that they have as manager, or until they get the balls to pick the right teams.

Yet another comment that shows your naivety toward the sport. A truly baffling statement.
On a par with "struggling to draw with t+t" and "we both know england will go out to Germany or Ecuador"
I'd disagree with that. England would have stood a more than fair chance against either a full strength Portuguese or Dutch side – but both would have proved very stern tests, that's for certain.dogbone said:
As it stands we're playing a weakened Portugal on Saturday, which does improve our chances of progressing through to the semi-final but by no means guarantees it. We still need to perform and Portugal will still be dangerous – be in no doubt Scolari will have his remaining players well drilled and well motivated.
Good luck against the Italians, by the way.

In dogbone's defence, the last time we saw England play was against us in 2003 or thereabouts and we won. Now, I know you guys basically grabbed the South London Under-12's and threw jerseys on them but we were also being coached by Frank Farina so I think we came up square on the ability side.
Frank Farina is the real reason we're at this World Cup, for being so crap we HAD to hire Guus.
Keep stirring the pot Dogbone, it's great fun to watch.
To be fair, Sven's picked one of the North London Under-12's for his World Cup squad.Chundles said:

England could do worse than letting him play too - a bit of pace upfront wouldnt go a miss
