I'm talking in general, not about Carr. I assume you work in some sort of business, is having strong relationships with your clients completely useless to you? It's no different for football clubs.

Can't imagine how bad the meltdown in Japan would be with a greek goal here

Japan are so much fun.

It's not useless, given that we're a side who prioritise bargaining leverage first and suitability for the team second. A real PL club with ambition would have little need for it, mind. Don't be silly. Even if you were Man City how could it possibly be useless to have somebody who's chums with agents/club officials who will give you the buzz on hot new prospects and help facilitate deals.

Never finished above us at a World Cup Tide has to turn surely.... Oh, they've been better than us for a couple of years now. But still, never.

Never finished above us at a World Cup

Team like Greece is their kryptonite. They can't break this shit down.

Probably Greece's best chance this tournament to be fair

What the hell was that?

Ballack: Japan, they need big guys but they.. er... don't have them. (uncomfortable laughter)

Japan all fart and no shit, Greece shitter than shit. Both teams exactly as expected.

I think I'm getting to the point where Greece being at the World Cup annoys me more than Japan existing.

Didn't even touch him either

You were robbed against the Swiss in 2006. Fully remember that game. but it evened itself out with that historic Yakubu miss in South Africa Deserves honorary Korean citizenship

I've just realized that the two teams we've beaten in the World Cup since 2002 are Togo and Greece. That killed me a little inside.

Like Disco says, Carr knows people in France and that's probably the extent of his ability as a scout. I don't think that's a useless ability though. Unless you're hunting down 15 year olds kicking pigskins in South America or something, the vast majority of modern scouting is networking, not spotting hidden gems with your own eyes.

132:26 passes completed Why are you so shit Greece.

What on Earth possessed him to take that

Why would you do this. Because I want them to win?

Ah well, it's been fun England.

Very exciting slate of matches tomorrow. I'll be rooting for the Greeks for once.

I'd rather forfeit a slot in 2018.
