FIFA rule:In reply to:Any player who is a naturalized citizen of a country in virtue of that country’s laws shall be eligible to play for a national or representative team of that country.Obviously, native-born citizens would also qualify.They're trying to keep the richer countries from poaching all of the good players from poorer nations.

World Cup!!!

Ivory Coast V Argentina, after watching England hopefully getting beaten by Paraguay this match is a cracking way to finish the day. I hope the coast win because if they get out of the group of 'death' it'll be intestin to see how far they go. .... Also i hope Switezrland lose every game its not right that they denied Ireland a place in a tournament again!
-
I want Spain to die!!! After what they did to us last year, they need to die!!!
-
Do not fret! After they kill England and other lower countries Germany will finish them off.
-
I love soccer. It brings out the best in us. (For the sarcasm-impaired, yes that was sarcasm.)The U.S. is ranked 5th.
-
Ha, they are going agaisnt Czech!, I just dont get why they are continuing, give the damn points to Czech already. Waste of time.
-
I could write a book between goals. Every time Argentina makes a goal, the building shakes. I don't think Ivory Coast is going to pull this one out.
-
Unbelieveable....as soon as hit hit the "post" button, Ivory Coast gets a goal.
-
Well its 2-1 and there are a few minutes left. They have a chance, if you believe in Man Utd then they can pull something.
-
The bulding shakes! Argentina gets another goal....and then it doesn't count!
-
Yeah, I was about to say that it was all over, but not quite! Interupting extra time with a booking, thats fair..And its all over. Argentine bastards!
-
Argentina won...and England won 1-0 on an own-goal! England is not meeting expectations.
-
Thats cause they suck!

The 1st half of the England v Paraguay game England played really well although the Ref was a complete dick making stupid decisions, we can do without dicks like him in this competition.2nd Half....hmm, i dont understand Svens logic in removing Micheal Owen from the game, it left Peter Crouch with no wingman up front so it was very difficult for him to do anything, ie, out attack was shagged.Wayne Rooney is match fit and has been given the all clear although Sven is keeping him back for as long as possible to give his foot a little longer to heal, the later he comes in the less likely injury will be.Although im biased i think England have gotten a real chance to win this year, when our team is at its strongest we are extremely tough. I think us English peeps underestimated Paraguays ability although they never really made any serious attempt on Englands goal.After the Sweeden - Trinidad & Tobego draw i think England will almost certainly get through the first bit.

There is nothing more stupid than guys in shorts running around a big field trying to kick a ball into a net. Seriously like analyze what their doing logicaly in youre head, its laughable. And the fact that people train all their life to do somthing so fucking stupid and get paid so much for it where people like doctors who are saving peoples life have a fraction of the wage of mr retard who can kick a ball in shorts. Though it doesnt compare to somthing as stupid as pole volting. If there is life in space and they came to earth they would probrably laugh their asses off at the stupid dumb shit humans find entertaining. And then its like people talking about football like "blah blah blah the captain should have done this" well mail youre ideas to him because discussing somthing so pointless isnt gunna do anything except make people want to vomit and jump out of a window. The wold cup gives people a reason to be patriotic even if their countrys a heap of shit with as much freedom as if hitler had prevaled. Football makes me angry Grrrrr

I have to agree with ya Max, the first half was great, second half was dire and what the hell was sven thinking leaving 1 person up front to actually score goals.........I was like WHAT!!!!!!!It wasn't the best game the boys have played, but they got the points and thats all that matters, and I can't wait till the next match - personally i hope they leave rooney off for a long time, hes a jumped up little tosser!!!!!Anyway COME ON ENGLAND!!!!! strips of the england shirt and runs round the garden twirling it around her head

Engalnd have some class individuals but htey are one of the worst TEAMs in the world, i watched that match and like every England match it was painful to watch them, so bloody boring, especially compared to Germanys match and that cracking Argentina match. Its also annoying to see the ENglish press build up their team when their just not gonna win, look at the IVory Coast they were unbelievable last night far better than England and still lost to Riqeulemes magic.
-
worst teams in the world? - don't think so!are Ireland even in the world cup?
-
We share quite the same opinion about football and sports. I can find sometimes entertaining playing some sport games (even football), but I can't watch sports on TV.
-
Sport on tv is good, but there is nothing like actually being in the stadium, the atmosphere is great, I seen Barcelona play in the Nou Camp it was amazing the only problem was that we were so high up we were just screaming on little dots on the pitch! Got to say, I went to a brilliant game at Christmas.....sitting beside the goal front row at....wait for it....Fulham vs Aston Villa....it was some game
