Who does Cointrao or however you spell his name play for?

 

Looks almost as good as Wor Jose

 

Benfica.

Not for long after this showing in the world cup.

Ronaldo has delivered some excellent, excellent passes this game. Shouldhave had at least 5 assists by now.

Portugal will get a lot of confidence from this. This could really get them going. Some absolutely sublime football.

Wow ...

3 -0 Almeida.

Georgeous stuff from Portugal now.

Almeida getting the start today. Kind of fallen by the way side a little bit, but still quite young. Not really featuring for Werder Bremen so would be available I would imagine. Should be interesting to see what he looks like, and how he does.

Where is Kewell supposed to have his arm?

Don't think he was necessarily sent off for deliberately using his hand. More because he is Harry Kewell and the ref doesn't appreciate that.

Kewell arguing like a tit. Blatant handball, ffs.

Never liked Kewell, Cahill or Neil. All first class twits.

That picture of the kid pointing  :lol:

An African who doesn't miss penalties. A rarity indeed.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

Harry Kewell!!!

Punch everything away from goal. Stop trying to catch this ball.

Beckham player-manager to prepare us for Euro 2010.  IMO, of course.

 

That's definitely the plan like, not player mind you, but I think he'll get it after Capello if he stays on til the Euros.  Our attempt at a van Basten or Klinsmann appointment.

 

Im not convinced the players respect Beckham as much as the fans do. Van Basten, Klinsmann, Maradona never had their positions questioned as a footballer the way Beckham does/did. I do not think the likes of Terry, Rooney and co would respect him enough to put his coaching inexperience to one side.

 

Harry Redknapp is the one for me because he understands the modern footballer. He is the modern manager, he loves his material things, he's a piss taking wide boy who the players would not want to let down. He is Keeganesque in the way he builds players up, but tactically far more astute.

 

If the FA have got any bollocks they will put the investigation stuff to one side and appoint him

 

(Should we not qualify from the group stages )

Precisely. Redknapp is the one, but they will never have the guts to do it.

Beckham England manager???!!! My goodness.

Ghana are Africa's best team in this competition. Be surprised if they don't turn it on in this game.

Hodgson would be good too, but Harry would be better imo. No one would be able to relate to these set of players better than Harry Redknapp I feel.

 

Being a massive c*** as well, you mean? 

Sort of, yes. It's the one job he would definitely leave Tottenham for too, and how sweet that would be!

Harry Redknapp is the one guy that I feel would definitely get England not just getting results but playing the right way too. The FA will never hire him though, because of his tax problems etc and I just think they worry too much about image and someone who looks the part and speaks properly etc. There's certainly some sort of class issue going on.

Now that was shocking

Dangerous set piece here

England still have to play Slovenia too ... arguably the best team in the group.

This Andy Townsend is so embarrassing ...

Tempting fate is never good ...

Bougherra man of the match so far
