Sven is an idiot. I've always said he was a awful manager...Today he is apparently playing 5-4-1...You cant fucking do that against the south american teams who are traditionally offensive, just sit back and wait for them to come to you...No way. Crouch isn't a world class player. Walcott should be in school and hasnt even played a premiership match let alone a world cup match...Rooney is incredible but not 100% fit... Then again we still cant play 5-4-1...Now Owen is out we need to just do away with all this obsessive talk about formations and just play our best 11 players...We have an offensive team this year so we should play offensive 'Total' football. My team would be; Robinson G 4 Defenders; Carragher (if neville isnt fit), Ferdinand, Campbell and A. Cole 1 attacking Defender; Terry 2 Midfielders; Beckham , Lampard 1 Winger; J. Cole 2 Strikers; Rooney , Gerrard
1-0 england. Have to say it was a much better performance today though we still have bits to work on. Hargreaves was rubbish, why Sven insists on keeping him in the starting line up is beyond me. He rarely won a ball without commiting a foul and really kept quiet and gave the team very little. Lampard also had a shocking game, poor shots, some shockingly poor failed passes...what happened? Gerrard was also very dissapointing. Beckham was vomitting after he scored lol...what the fuck was that all about!? Joe Cole played extremely well again and worked 110% until Sven subbed him (idiot)...Rooney looks almost 100% again and played very well considering he was a lone striker with little support...Carrick had an okay match, nothing blinding but proves he definitely can perform at this level. John Motson...What can we say about him? The guy has gone senile!
Not to annoy anyone, but I'll be glad when the whole world cup thang is over, it's taking over everywhere !!!!
PORTUGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! France has no chance, we beat one colonial power today, France is next on the chopping block. I am Scolari's Love slave.
portugal cheated throughout...total scumbags...they didnt deserve the victory... yet again a cheating team wins and takes the glory...sums up the tournament really...Actually sums modern football. I hope germany win it. They are an exciting team who don't cheat as much
I agree Peterness - the cheating was infuriating. Makes me not want to watch football because it is so unjust. Ronaldo will have to leave Man United now at least.
it's weird, i've never been into watching soccer, (or i suppose football to the rest of the world) but something made me watch the world cup this year. and i've actually gotten fanatically into it. tomarrow is the big game with italy and france. i was at first rooting for the germans, seeing as they're hosting. i was sorta hoping for a germany and france final game, the two countries the US hates the most. lol. but then that german newspaper had to publish that stuff about italians, and well, being italian, i couldn't stand for that injustice. lol, so i cheered for italy. so, i must say, "GO ITALY!!!"
Er, I wanted Germany to win, but at least they beat Portugal for third. Today, I'm rooting for France.
YEAH!!! ITALY WON!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! what was up with zidane? he just completly blew his career. that's all he'll be remembered for. but who cares, cuz ITALY WON!!! WE'RE THE CHAMPIONS!!!
Wahoo Italy won! I was working during this, and it sucked i couldnt go watch the end, so i kept asking customers, and finally this one guy who was really into explained the whole game for me! Haha that was sweet and i am so happy italy won!
