SEMTEX

hope y'all are ready to see a real classy outfit dominate inferior opposition... we're gonna show you how it's done

I don't mind the team at all. I'd probably have Sterling over Welbeck, purely because I think our best bet is to pretend to be Liverpool. But I'm sure Welbeck can do a decent job in this system, given he's got other strikers around him who can actually score.

on the verge of agreeing a fee ffs. im out.

Shola is in Philadelphia. Mate who works for the Eagles got a photo with him. Bastard.

Wouldn't have happened had the owner lady actually decided she wanted to keep them competitive though. They'd still have Cortese and Pochettino and they'd continue building.

Pretty surprised tbh. Didn't expect him to move.

fabianski signing for swansea, commence the keeper merry go round?

so damning http://i.imgur.com/NakHhdg.png

Chelsea got to the Champions league semi final?

still better than ours, no doubt.

looks like wigan

he knows the cool hand things that the kids are doing nowadays

Not really any point in being bothered about a coma like. Just a long nap. Bit shit for everyone around you, but for yourself, not so much. It'd probably be refreshing, much needed down-time.

7 goals in ten games against USA, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama and Jamaica and they give old man blanco a game instead of taking World Cup preparation seriously. Hope they get fucking mullered.

so, er, Cuauhtémoc Blanco is starting for Mexico tonight. Good call, Mexico. It's not like there's a world cup coming up, and even if there was, I'm sure you will have qualified with ease and definitely didn't need a last minute goal from your biggest rivals to spare your blushes. PSYCH, ALL THAT STUFF ACTUALLY DID HAPPEN OR IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

oh no he di'nt

I'd rather lick my own arsehole than sign up for that forum. Sewelly, what does it say?

Didn't realise he was that old.

Fucking hell, on her BBC show no fucker was interested in her, now Man Utd are paying £24m for her. How times have changed. Nailed it

24m is pennies man. Can barely even get a round in for less than £30m nowadays.

That fee is extortionate. She's not even funny.

Yeah these are pretty much the same lines that England fans, myself included, have tried to peddle for the last 6 tournaments or something. They look mediocre right now, and it's highly likely that they'll look mediocre in the tournament too. That's not to say I think they'll lose by massive margins or anything, they'll work hard and all that jazz, but ultimately I'm thinking you're looking at something like 1-1, 0-2, 0-3 in the group. Obviously there's still time for this stuff to change, but I'd just be very surprised if it does. You need to put someone to the sword with a solid team performance, showing that you can create decent chances, and that you can actually take those chances, but I just don't think you have either the personnel, or the cohesiveness to do so. Turkey game will probably be much the same as the Azer game, result could probably go either way, something uninspiring like a 1-0/0-1/1-1.

Nah. First game they've all played together since November, relatively new formation, no Dempsey. Two more friendlies to work out the kinks. I get that, but I'd be surprised if your group opponents would struggle to a 2-0 defeat of Azerbaijan. It's not like they were setting the world alight before this game either, although I know there have been various squads missing major players. I understand you want to be confident going in, and you don't like non-America types criticizing your team, but this team needs to be good enough to defeat Ghana, and the very least get something out of a game against Portugal. Maybe if you had 3 months/years of practice matches, but you don't. To me, beating Ghana looks doable still, given they're poor, though that's far from a given, but I just can't see anything other than a Portugal win.

I managed an hour of that shit. You kids are fucked.
