Neil Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I normally hate The Sun but that EASY cover was hilarious. Heard the Youessay manager on the radio today saying that it was a "tough group". That was funny, too. Algeria are an excellent team apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Don't know if it's been said but the BBC have added Roy Hodgson to their World Cup line-up. Unfortunately, they've also got everyone's favourite saggy-faced twat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 As a pundit Redknapp is pretty good, always calls a spade a spade on Talksport. Even admitted that Defoe isn't good enought to start for England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Aye I don't mind Redknapp been a pundit considering he actually knows what he's talking about. He'll be more interesting to watch than personality himself..Gareth Southgate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have played together for a while and not done much. He's right as it happens - but that might well change over the next month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKSC Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 As an international team you only get the chance to win your continental competition, the world cup or the confed cup. You can really only go back 6 years before you are talking about a completely different squad, and even in that time some squads can see massive changes. So you can't really say any teams have won a shit load collectively, with the exception of Brazil. Brazil: Confed Cup 2009, 2005, Copa America 2007, 2004 Italy: World Cup 2006 Spain: Euro 2008 Greece: Euro 2004 US: Concacaf Gold Cup 2007, 2005 Mexico: Concacaf Gold Cup 2009 Egypt: Africa Cup of Nations: 2010, 2008, 2006 Tunisia: Africa Cup of Nations: 2004 In Asia there is no real Continental Competition so to speak of as Wester Asia, South East Asia, Central Asia and Southern Asia all have there own federations. If you take these results then the US are more successful than us recently so that makes us the underdogs, especially if you include their runners-up spot at the Confed Cup. All the pressure is on them if you ask me Also note that Holland, France, Germany and Argentina have also won fuck all so they have no chance in the WC.

Makes no odds really, the point still stands that none of the big teams have won much other than Brazil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 You know who else haven't won anything together? Pele, Maradona and Geoff Hurst. What a stupid fucking comment. Come on, man. Look at who they have on the godawful cover up there. They haven't accomplished a thing as a team. They couldn't even qualify for Euro. All I'm saying is, if we get drawn into a group with France, or Brazil, Spain or the goddamn Italians again. I don't say a word until the match. But England? Your league is very rich, and you do have a few very good players, but the arrogance! The arrogance is staggering considering the lack of accomplishments. There's very little doubt that you might be better than us, but I don't think it's by as great a margin as you think. We've beaten better teams than you in the last year.

ElDiablo Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I think just compared to what we could have got, it's was a relief, the US are a decent team but they play the same style as us, if we had got a 2nd seed south american team we'd have all been shitting it. I think the word relief sums up a lot of people's feelings toward the group rather than "get in, we'd blow those lot away easily" it will be tough, but it could have been a lot worse. Fucking ignore The Sun though. Any person with an ounce of sense knows it's a wank publication. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
