Jesting. Edit:

That's clearly sexual abuse.

Ivory Coast often impress me when I see them. But whether they have the ability to get to the quarters/beyond is questionable. I'm sure someone else who watches them more may know...?

Didn't the senior team score 13 on their last trip to San Marino? Or something equally as ludicrous.

Dzeko likely to end up at Milan in the summer, it seems: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=699547&sec=transfers&cc=5739

I often use Soccernet. Gateshead 2-0 down.

It'll be tough, France kept the ball so easily at times last night. Just need to defend well, keep it at 0-0 for as long as possible and try and nick something from the odd set piece we get. Getting through would pretty much be a miracle though, after last night you get the feeling that luck isn't on our side. True. A lot of the time there wasn't the high-octane performance I was expecting from an Ireland side, at home, against a France team who have problems. Whether that was their superior technical ability or a poor performance from Ireland wasn't entirely clear. I'd like to think the latter, because if you can go at them full-tilt, I think you'll ruffle a few feathers. Need to score first though.

I honestly think Ireland have a chance in Paris.

:celb:

Pretty badly it seems as well. Rotten luck for Arsenal.

What do you think of a manager who.....

Class finish.

A controlled first half, says Tyldesley. Heap of shit, would be more accurate.

Aye. Hear his much-needed bumming of Man Utd in the build-up, regarding Man Utd (Rooney, England captain) beating Inter last year (Lucio, Brazil's captain)?

Bily makes it 1-0 Russia.

Howay Barnet.

Who's Ansaldi?

Hope Bent a) takes his chance and b) doesn't get given the cold shoulder for ages if he happens not to perform in this particular game. He should definitely be at the World Cup, providing he doesn't go completely off-the-boil for the rest of the season.

Question is... who else is there? Don't see why he shouldn't be given a chance.

England: Foster, Brown, Upson, Lescott, Bridge, Wright-Phillips, Barry, Jenas, Milner, Bent, Rooney.

Cameroon score in Morocco.

Ok, you can end things. Exeter score.

Don't end things quite just yet Pilko. Bradford and Colchester equalise.

Howay Norwich and Barnet, do something.

What the... Wales 3-0 up.
