It would ruin the clubs in the lower leagues and competitiveness, would totally fuck over the fans of clubs in these leagues as well.

Because i know it all is true........ Whats the problem? Thought you guys wanted to know a bit truth and not just rumours? As for the reserve system I'd like to see the Dutch and Spanish method of 'Ajax II' and Jong Ajax being two separate teams. Would kill lower league football. Bad idea.

It's Winter over there.

The referee is a German, did the last England game.

It was. But surely the same anomaly (somebody being able to influence the game when they shouldn't be on the park) exists whether it's a second yellow or a straight red no? Google tells me; ''When a referee applies advantage and a goal is scored, the player cannot be sent off but can be cautioned'' I guess that means straight red card and what you say is just one of those risks that has to be taken, it is highly unlikely to happen. Need PM to clarify.

Was a second yellow wasn't it? Refs often play advantage then go back and book someone.

He is an idiot, going on about the Spain players not singing the national anthem at the start as well. It doesn't have any fucking words.

No. Edit: That was for tmonkey before he deleted his post.

I'm sure I've seen him miss a few.

He's not been anywhere near the world class player he claims to be, he needs to step it up big time in the next game, if selected, otherwise we go home. Fabulous save my arse, he scuffs the shot and the keeper gets a finger or two on it but there's not enough of a deviation to suggest had he not, it was going in. Of course it was going in, scuffed or not.

Ha.

Agreed.

Possible like, as Australia are fucking gash. They out already or do they have some false hope? If they win and Ghana win then Australia go through. Can't see it happening.

Clearly not fully fit.

USA game has fitter birds in the crowd.

Should be 2-0, watching with two lads from Colorado again. England game on the TV with the USA game on next to it on one of the lads laptops.

Can someone please tell me in as few words as possible what has happened n the World Cup since Friday? Not seen any of it since the England game and can't be bothered to read the whole thread.

Be interesting to see if Howard Webb has a decent game or not.

Yes, it's bullshit. They have to be in a certain weight range, not sure exactly what but the range is only about 2 ounces.

Yeah. MLS have been using it all season as welll apparently. If that's the case I'm surprised the Premier league didn't adopt the ball for the second half of the season. I'm sure Nike would have had something to say about that...

Pretty confident of Wigan away on boxing day tbh.

Nice one. Wish I had a megaphone. I did drive a busker away from our table at the café earlier with the app, though. They needed to be woken, it was half 12 ffs and the vuvuzela sound worked a treat.

Got the iphone app, woke up my house mates up by playing it through a megaphone this morning.

Everyone needs to stop fucking whinigng tbh.
