The hell's a Sounder?Not in the slightest!

I've got no expectations from England at this point - getting out of the group stage was always going to be an achievement but to top it was outstanding. Neither Italy or England have really lit the tournament up yet, so one team is going home without really stepping their game up.

Would fully expect the focus of many of the England players to be on Mario Balotelli. With the Manchester City players in our starting XI it would be naive for them to not go out and get in his head. He's another one who's not really done much this tournament, he's due a good performance i fear.



Considerably excited about this. In the space of two weeks i've self-taught myself a fair bit about Adobe InDesign and came up with the idea of doing an old-fashioned print fanzine. Do a lot of writing these days, have had stuff printed on websites like ITV and The Guardian, printed publications like Four Four Two, World Soccer and the The League Paper so thought i'd go ahead and "branch out" so to speak.

This week me and a friend sorted out a printer who's offering us a superb rate on an initial print run of 200 - and we've already sold eight subscriptions of the first six copies in the first hour and a bit since putting the webstore online.

Quite exciting. Just thought i'd share!

Half time. Bricking it.

Oh sorry- we aren't on the same soccer wavelength here. Haha The Seattle Sounders with their big play against Portland.

Full time. Bricking it further.

A whole new kind of disappointment really!

Aww shit. The motherland vs the Italians. Are you ready Yama?

The game may have gone to penalties but it was a game that Italy dominated (70% possession), we should have won 3-0...such a shame we had so many wasted chances, pffff. Anyway glad we won, but it'll definitely be a tough match against Germany.



Pirlo

I'm disappointed in the Portugal vs. Spain game, but I'm ready for tomorrow! Go team Germany! :3

SUPER MARIO!!!! =D
