You havent read an English newspaper for 20 years thats for sure...fights on the terraces?....where?
The odd nosebleed perhaps.

What a joke this has become.

Soccer makes for a great highlight package. 90 minutes of the ridiculous carry on that is tolerated by referees and the ruling body of the game is too much for me however.

I recognise the sublime skill of great goals and even fine defending but the shit you have to wade through to see it is just too bloody painful.

If the ruling body (FIFA?) said, NO more questioning referees decisions (and getting in their faces and even pushing them) and supported refs when sending off the fuckers who did, the game would become something that would be worth watching.

Whilst the wankers on the field behave worse than the bastards in the stands there's no hope for it with me.

piss poor england

I watched the game...

Tonight I saw a man with no legs dressed in filthy rags drag himself up Sukhumvit begging for loose change.

I should have spent the 90 minutes watching him.

This group of players have been hopelessly outclassed by most teams they have faced over the last two years and to make matters worse the management and coaching is nothing short of a criminal offence!

At least we may see some real changes now.

A total disgrace.

Such a mistake from the goalkeeper Scott Carson.
I think the nearly seventy-year old Gordon Banks hadn`t got this goal.
Not forget 1970 were Banks had done his largest rescue act against Pele`s header.  Always a worth

The last decent English goalkeeper, that I can remember was Peter Shilton. How come such a football nation like England, is unable to come up with some decent goalkeepers?
Germany usually has good goalkeepers to spare, there's so many of them.

And why didn't the English coach bring Beckham right from the start? He delivered the ball nicely to Peter Crouch and maybe could have done some more in 90 minutes.

as for the sweaty socks....    fucking delighted they are out which is how they would feel if we got knocked out! If England were playing italy they would of been all sitting in the the pubs in italian shirts

Does anyone know what colour shirts Croatia play in? I need to go shopping this afternoon  

They will be more than likely playing in this shirt Stewart

Nope, you were wrong.

Here is a pic of the strip that the guy who scored the winning goal was wearing

And if you had, you likely would have seen him drive off in his Mercedes on his way to a soccer match...

Mighty Australia draw with Croatia last year in the world cup.

Are there too many internationals playing in the EPL? Diluting the English talent and not exposing them to the top level. Should there be limits/quotas on internationals per team? Arsenal seem to be more French than English.
