I just got a call from one of our main suppliers, [URL="http://www.castrol.com/castrol/castrolglobalhomeflash.do"]Castrol[/URL], to tell me that they are taking me to the world cup.

I am being flown out first class, staying in a 4 star hotel, spending one day on a safari and then going to the match. Fuck yeah, how ecstatic am I !

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

sounds like a blast man

i'm curious how fit rooney and becks are going to be for that match. i heard they both got hurt a week or so ago. anyone know?

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

Mike, nice my friend, you definitely deserve this trip!

circle.. becks tore his achilles, he's done for at least 6 months Rooney will be fine, he's already played since his injury, he'll probably be playing this weekend against man city

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

Just amazing MJ, it´s a pending dream to me.

Are you staying the whole WC?

PD: also Southafrica it´s a must visit for mankind imo

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

^^ I wish!

Apparently the trip is costing Castrol around £8000 for each person they take. I hope we get at least a day to do our own thing, time will be short though, we are only there for four days.

Steve, pm me you mobile number and I'll call you from the ground when the match is on.

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

^^ lucky basterd ... try to stay , your already there youll only pay for the way back fare

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

what's the scottish flag got to do with USA?

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

He's Scottish, he wants anyone to win other than the English! It's just bitterness Steve, bitterness brought on by their inability to qualify. Lets face it though, they couldn't qualify for the local Sunday league knock out never mind the world cup.

Hi Huggies :Middlefi:

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

ahhhh, now it makes sense.. twat, lol

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

England takes it fo sho

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

Roll on the world cup - 50 days - sorry you going to be so far away from Durban MJ!

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

My mate Martin celebrates his 40th same day. He's done the decent thing and booked the gig room above our local so we're all looking forward to a 12hr piss up and hog roast with my good self (and my mate jim) on the wheels of steel with a 90 minute respite while we teach the good old United States of Obesity how to play the beautiful game haha

Sounds good, I think I would give the game a miss though.

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

^^ As it's free bar from the moment we touch down I think that could be a strong possibility.

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

Damn MJ, given how big the sport is in England, I'm sure we're all very happy for u ... so ur bringing me back a US jersey right ??

have a great time

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

This is the only shirt I will be wearing. Classy it is too.

Anyway, I'm setting off. Cya.

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

Lucky bastard is right... enjoy mate, know you will :D

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

We have just watched the South African team go past on an open top bus, man what an atmosphere. Them vuvezelas are bloody noisy, especialy when there are 80,000 people blowing them.

Weather is great, having a fab time.

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

yeah, those stupid horns are going to get old really fast watching these matches on telly, I can't even imagine what it's going to sound like in person

moving into winter down there too I would imagine it is perfect weather for football Saturday, rain and 60's, our lads will be right at home!

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

oh, and pics or you know ;)

We need a personal "women of football" gallery from you

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

Have a good one MJ!!

I found this today, not sure but i think it's Emile Heskey's mum??

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

^^ HAHA

Went to a bar last night, rolled in at 3am. My head hurts. Just about to pick up the tickets for the game, apparently there ar going to be more Yanks than English ! I just got odds of 17/1 on England winning 4 nil.

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

SA is a absolute jol right now

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

That was quick captain

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

USA Goooooaaaaaaallllll!!!!!!

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

Oh my... that´s what we over here in Portugal call a huge turkey by the UK goalie... feathers and all.

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

That was a shocker goalie

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

wholly sh*t that was close to another US goal!

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

Well, that was kind of a surprise.The 1-1 draw is a fair result, but it could of gone either way. I think the USA might be one of the surprises of the competition, judging by that performance!

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

The US was hardly a great team but their defense was good. Regardless of the Green fumble, England in no way deserved to win that game. Id say Capello is gonna have to make some changes, thought Heskey and Lampard were rubbish.

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

wright phillips and lennon didnt do not'n

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

great game either way

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

^^^ HaHa

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

we could expect more from England, but I think US will be the revelation for this WC.

Re: World cup: England v USA June 12th 2010

Hopefully a liquored up BobJuice isn't searching for Mr Green in south africa. Thought maybe Beckham was going to prance on the field and hit him with his "man purse" I mean prolly 99 of 100 times he grabs that. What a horrible time to make a miscue. The one position where the Usa has the advantage and it allows them to steal a point.:lol:
