Why would having in in the Premier League have any impact on League 2, as they dont play each other?

At a guess they would ensure England can't compete in any FIFA/UEFA competition and ban all English clubs from all FIFA/UEFA competitions which would ruin English football. I honestly don't think they could get that past CAS

Seriously, what could FIFA do if the Premier League decided to introduce the technology?

We are the Premier League, we can set our own rules.

Although this is now secondary to the abysmal England performance, with regards to the goal that wasn't we can't lay the blame solely on Blatter and FIFA for not introducing goal line technology. After all, none of the major leagues do it, so why should FIFA be the one to try at at their spectacle event? Up to the Premier League to meet up by the end of the week and introduce goal line technology with immediate effect so we can demonstrate its effectiveness to the rest of the world.

Dropped to 18th tonight. Not having Any American, Ghanian, Uruguyan or Korean players probably the cause though!

Nope, unlucky!

Am 4th. Knockout stages are likely to shake things up now, but better to be near the front than have to come from behind.

Doesn't Ashley Cole take (and score) penalties in shootouts?

Martins

Thing is we don't know if there are any 24 year olds who could be a lot better by the time they are 28. Too many players get written off too early these days.

If I was England manager, I'd ask to borrow Terry's mobile and wallet and send him on an errand. While he's gone, mail all his stuff back to Chelsea (2nd class) and tell him he's got to find his own way home.

100 points for this round. Not bad. Should keep my top ten position, as long as loads didn't have a Villa Ronaldo captain combination.

That was a terrible miss by Ramos there.

Yeah you can look at teams after the last substitution window of the round has changed. I suspect the high maintenence is to get the site maximum exposure.

Whoever is lousy team will be top though by the end of tonight. strategically, although I have Villa, having looked at who have him as captain, I don't want him to do well!

Just worked out kidicarus, I'm now only 3 behind you at this stage, you have Xavi and Figueroa left, I have Villa and Xavi left... Spain can't lose again....can they?

Am 6th with Xavi, Villa and Ronaldo to go. I'm guessing that Pepe wont play again (cost me 5 points last time) and that the North Korean who scored against Brazil and was in my squad won't score again!

October 2010 Newcastle United are pleased to confirm that Raymond Domenech is our new manager.

Been another bust up. Id love to see the French make an example of Domenech and sack him.

Don't diss Dr. Ed Harrison Ph.D NUS

Lay-off former Newcastle player Ed Harrison please, or he might quit again and go back to his former job as managing director of IBM.

Bit worrying that he's a good mate of Carroll's, but apart from that, he'd be a good signing. I doubt the media know how matey they are to be honest.

That rules that out then. I don't really rate him as a player but he puts a load of effort in for whoever he plays for so I'm delighted to see him play in the World Cup for Argentina, and want him to win the World Cup if England can't.
