    The England Thread

    'Hodgson, who achieved perhaps the best moment of his career on Tuesday when England qualified for next year's World Cup...'
  2. I guess there are some similarities.
  3. If you meant ice hockey, it's a lot cheaper. The ground hockey thing you do with daft sticks is non-existant here.
  4. Hockey and floorball are taking away a lot of talent in both Finland and Sweden. Wish they banned competitive floorball, absolutely pointless sport which is taking away real talent from football and hockey both. Just play Sweden vs Finland once a year with amateurs and see who's the best that year.

    The England Thread

    Pretty sure he will but if Rooney and Sturridge can produce some individual magic in the right games you'll be really hard to beat.
  6. I'm quite optimistic about our chances to qualify to the next Euros. Mixu Paatelainen was a good appointment and he's now had two years to get his system familiar with the players without having any pressure to get results. 2016 was always the main target, especially after the horrible draw for these WC qualifiers. We played some canny stuff in Paris and but were missing two important CBs. While we don't have as many big names like Litmanen and Hyypiä as we used to, we have a decent young core who got important experience in these qualifiers. Roman Eremenko is the standout player and absolutely lovely player to watch. Teemu Pukki also needs to get minutes in Celtic to help our woeful scoring record. We have a real chance to get to the Euros if we can get a decent draw and the important players stay fit. Can't wait for the draw.
  7. Finland and Sweden are like Russia when compared to Iceland. Proper jelly of this, hope they get through from the playoffs.

    Hodgson always gives you a chance to win with his defensive setup. His teams are always hard to break (at least in an international stage). If your attacking players are on form and can score those crucial goals at playoffs, you have every chance to go far in Brazil.
  9. Do you have to be first choice for your national team to be a good player?
  10. Their defending is still a bit suspect. We've scored 5 goals in the qualifiers yet could've easily scored couple in Paris.
  11. Debuchy with two great crosses inside a minute. First resulted in a goal, Remy hit the post from the other.
  12. Cabaye and Remy on, 70 minutes played.
  13. Debuchy the only one starting.
  14. I knew one Australian man who was exactly like you described. He was great with horses and an absolute gentleman. Froggy knows him too. Everything went well at first and Froggy was printing money. Everyone was smiling and buying him bottles of Scotch. It ended in tears when I found out he was full of s**** and not a single tip was a winner for me. Haven't heard about him in months.
  15. We were assuming that Colo is leaving in January or in the following summer. Also you can't really tell who will be ready from the get go. Rather get MYM when he's available than Tomkins or some other clogger.
