The All Blacks made it to the semifinals, so I'm happy. Argentina put up quite a fight, but got hammered near the end. Bit worried about the next match against Australia, they will mean trouble.
Casual newcastle fan here, dead chuffed with where they are at the minute, although i suspects arsenals fall from grace helped a lot. But with liverpool below us, we may lose the 4th spot pretty easily :/chronicfc said:The "mighty" Toon Army, Newcastle United, are doing better than in those wonderful dreams of glory I have, unbeaten 7 game start, 4th in the league, it'll never last, but its fun while it lasts. In more local news, Blyth Spartans are doing less amazingly, by quite a bit, hovering just above relegation zone after 12 games. In even more local news my team, the mouthful that is "Blyth Rangers Deportivo Under 16's" are doing even worse, losing all our games so far, and we are 4 games in, playing another match in a few hours, hopefully we can stop this dire start.
To be honest We're only doing so good cos we haven't really played any really good teams yet, I mean Arsenal don't count as a really good team especially since we played them in the middle of losing fabregas and nasri and they hadn't bought anyone yet. But the toon are going to lose to Tottenham next game, maybe draw with Wigan, beat Blackburn (Carling Cup) then lose to Everton, Man. C., Man. U. and Chelsea all in a row.chronicfc said:I read an article, and, according to Krul, Pardew has been doing wonders for the defense. Also going ahead we have a few good players, like Sammy Ameobi, who is seemingly not awful, or Haris Vuckic, who will undoubtedly be bought by a "good" team if he gets any good. Added to that our midfield is solid enough, okay Obertan is not my first choice, but we still have Cabeye, Tiote, Ben Arfa and Gutierrez. And, credit where its due, Best has been scoring, somehow.AnnihilaSean said:Not that I'm not thrilled at our fantastic start, but I really don't understand how we're unbeaten as we only have one striker that's even half decent. Ameobi's never been good and, for all the goals he's scored, I'm pretty sure Leon Best is the worst striker I've ever seen. Any team that has Ba as their primary source of goals is looking to have a shaky season at best and yet, there we are with the big guns.

My football (soccer) team Heart of Midlothian are doing pretty well with a new manager getting the best out of the team. Once they start beating the smaller teams and not just the likes of Celtic, we should do well. Just have to wait and see how the financial troubles pan out.
As for hockey, my Flyers have started off nicely with two away wins, and their first regular season shutout after 550 days(!). With what is essentialy a restructured team, this season will be interesting to say the least. But the first two games gave me hope.
Basketball is in round 3.Daymo said:Ahahahaha, Australia shouldn't have won the match, but some how we did. My Afl team Geelong won their third premiership in five years last week and most othe sports haven't started new seasons yet. Australia is in between sports at the moment.Renegade-pizza said:We Springboks are kicking ass and taking names and jaws. That and Beast is culling those who are dumb enough to run in front of him.
Don't you guys have an entire Ice Hockey league? Surely that's good enough.TheDarkEricDraven said:Trolled? No, no, I just don't know any sports teams. Well, I want to get into Hockey, but you know...American.Trucken said:First reply and I'm already being trolled. Kudos to you sir. Kudos.
Ummm, I think not.Puddleknock said:Well Cheltenham Town is doing rather well. They are 6th in League two currently (last season we were fighting relegation). For those of you unfamiliar with the league structure of the English football/soccer leagues League Two is the 4th highest league. Its goes Premier League, Championship, League One and then League two. So no Cheltenham Town are not the best team in the world but they are still my team.
In other sports England were dumped out of the rugby world cup yesterday, which still hurts. Though I'm part Welsh so revenge will come next week in the semi finals.
Well he's certainly improved from when he was brought in.chronicfc said:My personal hero is Fabrico Coloccini, who I would describe as one of our best defenders of all time, not saying much looking at out previous, though
