Tempted to give meself a goal for that.

This one wasn't great and it clicked like a motherfucker, but at least the badge was stitched on and it had a nice, iconic sponsor. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHB5t-lnTlY/SUIjBmZAKRI/AAAAAAAAAFs/I45trFGZjWU/s400/lee3.jpg

There's next to nothing I like about it. It's black and white I suppose.

Brilliant stop.

?

Exactly. I'm intrigued to know how the dynamic works in other countries. Doesn't matter so much in Brazil and Argentina mind, since they mostly play abroad. I've always thought there was something in that mind - our players hardly ever playing abroad. Although Italy are arguably pretty similar.

:lol: Come on man, don't be an idiot.

I've read a few things on various forums today, since the game ended, talking about why the national side is so fucked up, but this is the most pointed and spot on post I've seen on the subject. Agree with billytray too, he's absolutely right. It's a half arsed way of 'improving' the league and ignoring the fundamental problems. The FA and the Premier League aren't on the same side either, which doesn't help.

Does anyone else think Eriksson wasn't so bad after all? The performances in the WC 2006 aside, our level of performance wasn't bad at all imo.

I'd get rid tbh. I'm not normally so harsh, but: - He doesn't seem to think owt's wrong at the moment, and he's bang wrong. - Football's too dull and functional. Doesn't inspire confidence in English players or fans. - Seems too much of a disciplinarian for our soft-cunt players. - Hasn't added anything new to our approach imo. Playing Gerrard out on the left wing in a 442. STILL. Surely we should be playing the 451 / 433 that Chelsea used so effectively a few years ago. That's what Mourinho would be doing, no doubt about it.

TLDR. No offence, might read it later. http://www.tribalfootball.com/england-players-give-world-cup-match-fees-charity-845521 I know it's Tribal Football but I've heard in various places they weren't getting paid match fees.

@ the last few pages in this thread.

Is that Mick McCarthy in your avatar? Yeah.

It's supposed to persuade you we're going to win the World Cup And even then the most positive tagline they could come up with was 'Maybe. Just maybe'. Should be updating it throughout - at this point it should be 'Fuck no, never. Maybe if all the other teams die'.

Desailly screaming into the camera like he's doing a wrestling promo.

3 minutes injury time in extra time?

Great finish but is Howard at fault again there?

Was that Timothy Spall crying on the touchline?

Let's hope the Americans can get a three-pointer and put this thing to bed.

If David Blaine ever gets AIDS he can take heart from a vanity point of view. Because he'll look exactly like Clint Dempsey and he looks OK. http://www.firstscience.com/SITE/IMAGES/editor/27/blaines.jpghttp://www.fifa.com/imgml/tournament/worldcup2010/players/xl/207851.png (Pre-AIDS / Post AIDS)

Bloody hell, she really is as well.

Tim Howard's wife's mate is fit as a fiddle.

Ghana haven't been bad at all actually.

He's got talent, he's just fucking stupid. Racist.
