Those aren't bad actually, if you swap Mexico and England that is.

The new novel actually reads like.. a novel. A real one! Fair play Soldier, that's a fantastic start.

Yes, 'best players for 40 years' I think is a pretty fair observation. Man for man, our defence + midfield + Rooney is probably as good as we'll ever have, but obviously the team left a lot to be desired

Until Mexico's exit I would've been tempted to go for Marquez too. His performance against Argentina was certainly one of the best I've ever seen. I found the contrast painful - whereas England's players seemed to get swallowed up by the pitch, Marquez's performance showed just how you lead a team i...

Intimidation? Perhaps, but it was violent conduct that he thought he would get away with. Zidane is no saint. Wasn't he sent off for a stamp in the last World Cup? As Martin O'Neill said "well if Matterazi said something nasty to him will that's too bad, because it only happens every 15 seconds on ...

On current evidence you'd have to say Boro. All the kids McClaren fielded last year seemed like good players. All 'imported' from Sunderland, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester etc. I'd say we would have a half decent chance, yoofs have finished 4th or higher last 3 seasons. Well, all we ever got to hear...

Hi Phil, welcome to TW! I don't bother with the formalities as you already seem to have got stuck in. Pretty much anything and everything gets discussed, be it the historical role of religion and conflict to why in God's name is Henrik Pedersen our only fit left back - sometimes in the same thread :...

Mummy you owe me restitution for tricking me into suffering through Question Time :) Let's call it one pint, as it wasn't a particularly bad episode. So, credit to the young people involved. Commiserations for coming so close but I'm sure the whole thing was an enjoyable experience. I'm more of a Th...

Amazing. That's the beauty of football - it's completely inexplicable. Zidane was awful in the group stage and now a game later he's rolling back the years and playing some majestic football. It also makes you wonder what we expected to achieve with Fat Frank Lampard in the middle of the park, when ...

Im a mancunian and love the city where i reside, everything from the nighlife to the suburbs, I think its all great. in a perverse sort of way the bomb was one of the best things to happen to the city in recent years as its gone from being a little "run-down" to being a cosmoplitan playground and a...

I woke up feeling rough as hell. I sat in the park reading and sulked about our World Cup exit, which made me feel slightly better. Then I ate some sandwiches and felt significantly more cheerful. Finally I went for some beers with my cute blonde American girl neighbour and all was well in the world...

so hands up if you'd have taken a shit performance and a 1-0 win yesterday? All of us, but you don't win tournaments without playing in a style which offers the best chance of long term success. Playing defensive direct football is patently not the most efficient use of the England players. Every t...

Yesterday, whilst viewing through a haze of strong lager and jingoism, I was adamant it was never a deliberate stamp and that we'd been cheated. Having just watched the highlights in the stiflingly hot but sober light of day, it was a blatant and deliberate stamp and Ronaldo had every right to be in...

Agreed, it seems the FA have made another massive mistake. Allardyce would definitely be the man to shake our national team right up, but the boys in blazers will always look after their own. McClaren will offer continuity as we limp into Euro 2008 in our usual fashion. I would hardly class Italy as...

A mate has just texted me about a 2 hour post-match rampage with a few hundred involved. Probably some exaggeration there, but it doesn't sound great does it?

No manager and team selection by TW forum vote would be more effective than Eriksson and McClaren. Fat Frank.. MIA as usual but took several teamates with him this time.

I think it would still have gone to pens if Rooney had stayed on the pitch, and we would still have lost. In spite of all the flaws and faults with England, it was truly heartening to see them battle heroically with 10 men. Hargreaves was amazing. I haven't even got an opinion as to what went wrong ...

The french drink while they're buying bread, the Germans have beer at breakfast, the dutch serve beer in mcdonalds, the polish make a spirit you can run cars on and the russians pickle themselves in vodka. So the English drink a lot, so do lots of nations. Alcohol itself is not the issue, why is dr...
