    Oh the irony :mackems:
  2. I could just about stand Carragher being there as a back up RB, but to actually start him at CB would be criminal. Don't really care if it's Dawson or Upson who plays, as long as it's not Carra.
  3. I already settled the debate man, just move on.
  4. Right lads, let's settle this now. http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/8666/republicasenadorasbar15.jpg See this girl in the Argie shirt? Yes, the one that is much hotter than Mexico. http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9360/republicaalemanakrsiten.jpg Here she is again, now representing Spain, and is still a lot hotter than Mexico. So, what lesson do we learn from this? That's right, it doesn't matter where you're born, you should represent whoever you feel like representing.
  5. I don't know if that's a compliment or an insult. Btw I'm only 3 nations! As for representing another country, every situation is different. You have Ozil tonight for example, born in Germany to Turkish parents, and he represents Germany. Now by contrast you have Podolski and Klose who are Polish but raised in Germany from very young ages. Now some families that emigrate retain their culture, by only speaking their mother tongue at home for example. Now if you live in Germany but spend all your free time speaking Turkish or Polish then you may still feel a strong connection to that part of your heritage, so the idea of representing them is not entirely alien, when you consider that one of those parents may want you to represent their birth country, it's not quite as bad as is made out. You then have people who move to a country later in life and become bonded to that country, like Liedson, Deco, or Pepe of Portugal, if you qualify as a citizen of a country you can't really stop them representing that country, as they may feel a connection towards it. The problem you have is being sure of the validity of their claim, the best examples of that are Guerrero of Poland and some of the middle eastern nations with Brazilians in their side, it's sad that players will cheapen themselves by clinging to any nationality just to experience a major tournament, but to claim that a player is incapable of gaining a bond with a nation outside of the one in which they were born is slightly naive. It's even sadder that these nations could be approaching these players in the first place.Could we approach Arteta?Yes. I'd find that although Mikel would walk into our side probably,it isn't right to select him over a player who qualifies through parentage or birth tbh. Mikel is wank.
  6. If I somehow overnight became a terrific footballer (I'm still hoping...), I would probably prefer to be able to play for England, even though I'm born and lived all my life in Sweden. It's where my "football blood" is from, and that's what I would want to represent.

    I'm used to the sound by now, doesn't bother me that much, but I just think it's shit that they kill the atmosphere completely. There's absolutely no reaction to a goal or when the players enter the pitch, which is fucking wank.
  8. ozil has been class everytime ive seen him play, which tbf is about five times. And Argentina wins.
  9. It doesn't make sense how sexy Mexico shirt is. She looks like the latina from My Name is Earl. Seriously though, look at that smile on Argentina, gorgeous!
  10. That girl in the Argentine shirt is amazing!
  11. I went from hating it to really liking it. It was freaky. I find that Shakira songs are better if you can see her singing them. So it was something else that was growing on you rather than the song?
  12. Injured, not in the squad. Shame.
  13. When the Swedish commentator says Tagoe, it sounds like he's saying Tugwell :lol:
  14. Now he's fucking Swedish. Nah, I just live in Sweden
  15. Doesn't even make sense when you put it in realistic order, silly English. Clutching at straws, Norway. We'll be at the EC 2012, just you wait. Just you wait. Who the fuck cares about the Euros? Teams capable of qualifying. Swengland. Norway don't have a chance of qualifying until the 2016 when they increase the number of participants anyway Listen, Kaz is cheering for USA. I have to -out of respect and appreciation- pretend I give a flying fuck about Norway. Norway will be fine, Swedengland. :lol: I haven't even got a reply for that, that's how little I care about Norway and the Euros

  18. England Algeria Slovenia Yanks
