well maybe not, not after the Ghana arse whooping we got the other day. Very hard to qualify now. Need a win against italy or draw with italy but need usa to beat ghana...
after thursday i am gonna feel down if we go out..... will have to find somepne else to gun for.... Germany or Argentina!!!!!
Yet again, Sven makes a complete balls up. Owen going home, Walcott not touched a ball, and Defoe sitting at home watching the games. Sven's team selection and management skills are as good as a Nine Yr old.
All of england saying this year, this is our year. Not a hope in hell. The year england actually get a chance is, when they replace the selectors at the FA. 66, LOL, yes 2066
well, you lucky guys escaped us for now, but in final we'll get back to you... Ah no, you'd prolly have lost to a team that doesnt make self-goals, stays good in defence against your lucky shots and a referee that sees the nice hair-trick by Crouch (HOW THE HELL CAN HE CAN KEEP UPRIGHT ON THOSE LEGS???). So far you scored one real skill goal, and that was the 2-1 yesterday (which was actually nice), but the rest was luck, unfair or selfgoal. You wont make it far...
OK, enough of the Brits-bashing, time for one of the probably most entertaining games to come: Argentina vs. Netherlands tonight. That'll rock. I guess both can beat Portugal and Angola (Yeah, they'll get mexico ), so for them it's just important to look for the "right" way in the tournament tree.
I don't think England have a chance to be honest (and I'm glad ), they could meet Argentina, Holland, Portugal or Mexico in the Quarter-Final. They probably have the strongest midfield in the tournement, but they're just not performing aswell as they should be. Their defence is great too, the goals they conceded last night showed how bad they're performing too.
First-choice four or not, they're still not as strong as they could be. I think a 5-3-2 with Rooney playing a free-role upfront like he does for United would work wonders, counting on he is fully fit. Plus, the extra man at the back could provide good backup for Ferdinand's clumsyness.
From today "23rd June" the real football ends. From this point on the curse of penalty shoot outs could decide the beautiful game.
What a disgrace this lottery has been to decide so many games over the years.
It depends on the nerves of the player, that shoots, and on the ability of the goalkeeper.
And dont tell me, you would want games to be 200+ minutes long? Imagine, a team wins a game after so many minutes (if they even are able to stand then) and they have to play again only 4 or 5 days later.
Hmmm. the reason we lost was to make Ghana look good - yeah right.
Face it. Here in the US the only ppl that play soccer are suburban white kids
or undocumented workers.
We just suck at soccer. Period. (anyone in the US or Canada should Listen to Jim Rome's sports show, he sums it up the best I think.)
I seen one of the players on Jimmy Kimble a while back, but I didn't even know
the US team was even playing (lol we HAD a world cup team???... WHY???)
The only reason the US made it this far was cause some Italian dude screwed up and kicked the ball in his own goal (i guess they don't do random pp tests for that sport )
XC is right though, soccer is just not supported much here at all
Also, with the world cup trying to compete against the NBA finals here...
Nobody really even thought about soccer til after Miami won. And more people were distraught over the Pittsburg quarter back getting into a motorcycle wreck than the loss to Czechoslavakia.
They really did try to hype it up here this year, but I don't think it's
gonna happen...
