Well, next time I should do better research before writing anything! :lol: Didn't know that Split Enz become Crowded House so in that case they're in no way nonfamous in Europe! :blush: Same about Olivia Newton-John - I only read that she's an Aussie singer... there was nothing about birth place or something so I didn't know that she's actually English/German. @Zippy T Doodar I listened to it and I agree. The 90's Orchestra version of "Message to my girl" sounds much better than the original one from '84! But Skyhooks and Mi-Sex are indeed unknown here and I wonder why they didn't tried Europe... I'm sure it wouldn't have flopped. 9sZ83CVH8RU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UduuxKdPt9Q...feature=related

The linesman was very bad - I wouldn't take his movings too serious! (I read somewhere that before his death someone asked him again why he gave the Hurst goal in extra time and he talked - or should I say he admit?! - that it was a revenge for WW2 battles in Russia... - says it all)! ^_^

Sorry, I couldn't watch the last 3 (of the five) videos which you posted - perhaps it's blocked for my country! :rolleyes: Well, I see Split Enz weren't so unknown like I guessed, when you as an Englishman can remember them... Just recently I read somewhere that Olivia Newton-John is (or rather "was") the most famous Aussie singer in the US. It's funny because I always thought she would be a typical American singer... :blink: By the way, I have a question. How come when you all are posting videos - that anyone can just see the vids on this forum without a big fuss while we can't see it here and have to go to the youtube site when I'm posting vids...??

Some traitors bought it... *only jokin'* :lol:

Sounds good to me! Didn't know that Nick Cave's Australian... (but now I get why Kylie made a duet with him). :lol:

I have noticed that from / in the 70's and 80's Austalian and New Zealand had some good songs from unknown (means not famous in Europe) singers and bands. These following 3 songs I liked the best so far (I'm still checking more)... Kiwi band "Split Enz" - I Hope I Never (1980) ABXcIsmyLJk Another Kiwi band -m8IOD-wk9g Aussie band o7l8rlnMpCI

Midge Ure, Simple Minds and the Skids are all Scottish... not only good taste but good music too from there!

Dunga's Brazil reminds me of Johan Cruijff's Ajax Amsterdam from the 70's (not that I lived at that time...)! They don't play the great style of that team but they're winning the games without any problems and no tension + they had no problem in such a hard group - it just reminds me of that old Ajax superiority. They are a favourite to get to the final but I don't think they'll win - it's not 2014 yet. :lol:

I remember the boos in the first game of new Wembley 2007 (guess who won...)! :naughty: When the Germans are talking about the "Wembley goal" why are the English saying "but we scored a 4th goal" then - the video shows both were irregular! :blink: Never mind - we had our revenge for '66 + '01 yesterday and don't care anymore! :D

I know it can't get anymore late for that song because South Africa is out of the World Cup long since but it's still a song FOR this football tournament which is going on so I post it. The song is my favourite one at the moment and much better danceable than Waka Waka and rest! MAKE THE CIRCLE BIGGER!!! :dance:

Lol, they were the only South African singers I noticed from there last year and now they wanna try to break UK (and whole Europe too...)?! Good luck guys. Although I also like the South African World Cup hymn "Show dem" - I think I should make a topic for that... :mellow:

Hmm, you're actually right with 2 and 3...Lol! :rolleyes: But we don't do point 4 = overhyping!! On tele and in magazines I always see how everybody praise the other teams! Robben here - Messi there... and especially Rooney everywhere! ^_^ Thereby we forget that a player like Klose for example scored 12 World Cups goals now and that people in 50 years will still know his name because of that while other overhyped players like Rooney don't have anything like that by comparison...! @M!key O'Neill isn't English but Irish...! ;)

Love Romanian music! From which site do you have the information from? Me myself know this site for the Rom. Top 100 Airplay "charly1300.com/romaniaairplay.htm" (but as we can see it's one week behind the current one you posted...).

Epic! And that comes from a Scot (says everything about the Englisher themselves)... :lol:

@Jared Leto So, then let's compare Lampard and rest with Ronaldinho e.g.! The Brazilian benifited from his team mates at Barcelona but at the national team where he couldn't count on them he played not so well in comparison (and now in Milan too)... And I think it's the same with many English players that they just need their world class foreign mates at their clubs to play that well and that must be the reason why they can't make the same for England! (Or do you really think they're just "only" idiots who lack passion at national side - I mean, come on! It's world cup! How can you have lack of passion in the most important football tournament of the whole world...)?!! Those following points I wrote on another forum and I also do it here now! 6 points how England can do better in the future: 1. Get a new manager who's actually English like Hodgson, Pearce or Redknapp! 2. Give more English players a chance to play in the big teams instead of all these foreigners 'cause in the end other national teams were benefiting from the current situation - England not...! 3. Don't pick the national squad on reputation but on current form! 4. Stop overhyping the players - so no one will be anymore surprised and wonder why they always fail... 5. Stop talking about rivalry & other sh!t - it makes too much pressure on everybody and don't help. 6. Cut the wages of these overpaid players - where's the passion when you got too much of anything...
