But if I had money on it wouldn't have happened anyway.

story of my life mate.

england failing is reward enough.

Agreed. lol

Thought the decision to take Milner off early doors was awfae odd, he might have been on a booking but too take him off that early was ridiculous imo.

If that was anyone else the commentators would have slated it but since it was Capello and England it was made out to be some sort of managerial masterstroke.

Hahaha quality, cunts.

As for Greece, that was one of the worst WC performances I have ever seen. But Gekas was their only bit of qaul-i-tie.

Milner should've been booked in the first minute, i thought SWP looked decent when he came on.

i'd say Joe Cole will play against the 2 lesser teams in the group.

Hahaha you were right about the english media clagan...headline in the NOTW is 'Stars and tripe' and they are slating Green

i swear they love it Ryan, sometimes i wonder if they're happier winning or losing.

It gets better too as Ledley King is out of the next game, didnae take long for his first injury.

sweet, all we need now is Rooney to get sent off and they're well and truely fucked.

engurland have alot of problems with the left side...goalkeeper and the central defence.

but i think the main problem is the centre of the field.
gerrard and lampard are too similar. i thought capello of all managers would see this.
for instance...if yer man bradley was in midfield with either of gerrard or lampard...it would work much better.
the problem is they continue to play like this.
scott parker and one of lampard/ gerrard would work. capellos fucked up for me.

happy days.
put it this way...if trappatoni was manager of england...do u think he would play both in cm. not a chance.
my point is...that they seriously are missing a link up player who sits in there and dictates the game. because of this they go with root one to heskey and try and play from there.

its fucking awful.
when they come up against a good side , theyll get beat. and beat well.

tbf El Paso one thing that pisses me off about our CM is whelan and reid/gibson playing too similarly. they leave a huge gap between CM and doyler and keane because they sit too deep.

i said after the Japan match that england would fall at the quarters as usual.

i thought Lampard was quiet tonight but Gerrard did well, his goal, some good passing and a couple of cracking crosses but the commemetators were saying the two of them were excellent, i didn't think so anyway.

the difference with us clags is that we play the two of them behind the ball so as not to be caught out. but if we had stephan ireland , or someone of his standard we could afford to play one behind the ball more.
england have 2 of these in lampard and gerrard...they want to be one the end of things not at the start of plays. thats a major problem , and causes things like playing heskey to occur as their is no fluency through the middle.
the english commentators always take shite as you and I know...
remember this...(dunphy pulled garth brooks uo on it,...funny as fuck )...
dunphy..''thats the first time ive seen sex between two men live on the bbc!'' haha..

aye i'm a huge Stephen Ireland fan, he's exactly what we're missing.

they just said on SSN that milner had 2 touch's last night and committed 2 fouls, not a great return for a half hour.

one thing i really miss over here is watching Dunphy's analysis. he just doesn't like some players, the abuse he used to give Ronaldo was hilarious, how many times a night would he call him a clown!?

the Ireland quitting saga had nothing to do with his granny, it was about his wig. fact.

RTE Player online....on the RTE website have live streaming of the evening games if you want to see dunphy. he was 'on the bit' so far , but you just know he's choppin at the bit and will eventually come off the bridle....

maybe you cant get the stream from outside the state. dunno. you can check now and see if its live at the moment..

no mate you cant get it here, i'm heading to a pub in town for the Kerry match today so hopefully they'll have the WC matches with RTE commentary on after.

hopefully we'll get more of this soon....

pmsl the mad bastard.

i know a fella used to live beside him, he said when he'd be going out to get the papers on a sunday morning Dunphy would be staggering home pissed as a poet on payday.

hes renound for it...
listen to this shit....crackhead he is pmsl

wtf!?

he must have been down in Ballymun that day chasing the dragon.

some decent football so far. Argentina should have scored a hatful. Surprisingly on SK have scored more than 1. And samara is as bad for greece as he is for us

i haven't watched the games today, except the algeria first half, but the one's before were fucking dire. thank fuck for the GAA.

i think the Oz-Nazi's game might be worth a watch.

Should be a good one tonight, im hoping the Germans fuck them. The majority of the convicts seem to be cunts.

The football so far has been disappointing imo. Hopefully it will improve.
