Fuck, another one of our lads goes down injured. We've been losing decent squad players at a rate of one-per-match for the past couple of weeks. Shitty, boring day out in the rain with a bunch of huge-ass European blokes pounding the shit out of us. Sigh, whatever.

Please tell me that Tulio conceded that one EDIT: omg you missed?

Yeah, because we care that much about winning this game Everyone needs match practice. Even your bought and paid for corrupt ass refs. This forum has become so much more fun since England and the US were drawn into the same group.

I swear it's nailed on that one of Ki Sung-Yong and Lee Chung-Yong is going to get sent off some time during the World Cup. Brilliant players but they need to get their head's screwed on properly.

The Hleb-ster not playing? Yeah, not called up for this. Kind of disappointed.

Belarus is looking like excellent practice for Greece so far... Huge, slow fuckers with no quality.

I've just realized that we have not lost with our foreign-based players in the squad for approximately 7 months. (Since a friendly with Serbia last November) That's also the last time we've failed to win with our foreign-based players in the squad. That's also the last time we've conceded with our foreign-based players in the squad.

2nd choice keeper n all i think. Yeah that's first choice Japan aside from the keeper. Their left-back is pretty decent by the way. Almost out-Park'd Park during our friendly.

Reckon you'll win? I honestly think we'll slaughter them considering our recent form. Then again I'm probably getting overconfident. Spain in three days time should fix that

Well, I'm changing the channel to watch what should surely be riveting entertainment in South Korea v. Belarus....

It would be just like football though for Japan to have quite possibly the worst buildup to the World Cup you could humanly imagine, and then suddenly take down England 1-0 just to give them a little glimmer of hope...

If you lose to Japan you should just give up really. IMO, they're worse than North Korea

This reminds me of Goal! and how awesome it would have been if that movie was actually any good.

No offense to the English, but I love this.

Greece draw 2 all with north Korea, nearly getting played off the pitch in the process. Looks like they're turboshit

Korea 2-0 Japan Even a victory against the old enemy doesn't feel so good when they're so utterly shit. Easiest grudge match I've seen in a while.

"Gook" has actually been a revelation since coming back home after his misadventures in England. He was always the kind of player who relies on his own natural talent rather than working for the team, and failing in the Premiership was just the wakeup call he needed. ("You're not that good you twat.") He's actually one of our hardest working players now, chases after every ball and always looks to bring his teammates into play. And while I've had a lot of fun at his expense while he was in England, he was desperately unlucky to do as poorly as he did considering that he's always been our best finisher. Couple the fact that he's missed 2 world cups (2002 due to falling out with Hiddink, 2006 due to injury) in a row and is absolutely desperate to salvage his reputation, I'd say he might be our player to watch for this tournament. And yes, I know how funny that sounds

I can't help but feel great for Blackpool right now. What a story. I'm sure my admiration for them will abate significantly when they inevitably manage to take 4 points off us next season

Chopra crying. Kind of feel bad for the guy.

Speechless. Blackpool. In the Premier League. Wow.

I know there's absolutely no chance of it happening, but did I go for the right choice out of your potential top scorers? I think either Lee Dong-Gook or Lee Chung-Yong would have been better choices. Park is our second best player but he's never been really prolific at senior level. More of a "everybody's favorite strike partner" kind of guy.

WTF :lol: Can we cancel the CL finals and just have these two play for five hours?

OMFG this game is amazing

Shola has scored more goals in the Premiership than Chopra probably ever will in his career. Chopra is just the ultimate Championship striker, but he'll always struggle to make the step up. Also, Charlie Adam is nuts. He's literally everywhere, commentator saying his name literally once very fifteen seconds. Cardiff score

that has to be one of the best free kicks I've ever seen. Look at the dip on it, just brilliant.
