Given the defensive nature of most South Americans, I think a lone striker is a mistake. Sure we have to defend, but sending hopeful balls down the middle, particularly without Crouch's height, seems like asking for trouble. This is what it looks like we are doing. We have to get men in the box and ...

Well, I decided to take my first holiday this year and picked this week. P----d down all week, had to take the gazebo down to stop it blowing away, all the new plants got blown to ratshit, the wife dragged me to ASDA! and England had their worst 45 minutes ever of international football. Now I hear ...

nakata played well as the more defensive of the two centre mids in the first half though some of his passing left a lot to be desired PLAYERS GIVE THE BALL AWAY. ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT DEMAND THE BALL AND MAKE POSITIVE PASSES. HIS PASS COMPLETION RATE WAS PERHAPS ONLY ECLIPSED BY KAKA, THE BEST M...

Personally, I looked forward to watching Nakata play for Japan. He didn't disgrace himself by any means, doing good creative work in midfield and putting himself about quite a bit. Nakamura was a star and it's a shame Japan had to be in such a tough group. They've come a long way in football and are...

Brazil apart, well, they can't play can they? Ronaldhino....rubbish. :oops: Nakamura. What a grafter and well talented too. Never deserved to be going home, but that's the World Cup for you. Allright, the truth: Ronaldhino is the best player on planet earth. Brazil gave a football lesson second half...

Tough on USA. No bad side and they were robbed of at least a draw by that diabolical penalty decision. Cheating is going on all over the place in this tourney. Essien commited another potential leg breaker tackle then winked at a team mate when he dived to win a free kick. Touch an Italian and he go...

Tangodancersa v Clogdancers.
Holland are a good side, but they are being made to look very ordinary by the Gauchos from the Pampas. The sheer pace of the tangodancers is amazing and whilst we know all about Ayala, Riquelme and co, its Tevez who is going to have to be watched. A little tank of a man, a sort of black-haired Chuck...

Good good, folks - nice to see some heartwarming stories for a change. If I could get the blooming t'internet to work I'd slap up a picture of the wee charver. Good news number 2: I finish work for the week today as I'm off on my brother's stag do tomorrow to Prague. I suppose good news number 3 is...

Last nights game (draw): we did this wrong, we did that wrong, Sven doesn't know what he's doing. The T&T game (win): we did this wrong, we did that wrong, Sven doesn't know what he's doing.

My bezzy mate ever rang me out of the blue on Friday. We'd pretty much lost touch over the past 20 years after he joined the Para's and our lives took different courses. Anyway, he rang to say that he's being based back up here for his final two years and is moving to Howfen. I feel a wee drinky co...

Had a feeling Crouch would get blamed - if Beckham and Lampard realised his biggest asset is the ball played into his FEET then maybe the long Hollywood balls would get cut out of the game and it is f**king annoying. Big blow losing Owen, bigger blow not being able to replace him. I've no problem w...

Worst part of last night for me was seeing players who, in the Premiership, Bolton's defenders handle well enough, being made to look like Pele by our national cream-of-the-crop "defence". I don't want to rant too much (done enough of that already in this thread), but our last line is woeful right n...

The reaction from the usual suspects on here is as if we've finished bottom of the group and are on our way home . Which we well might be if we produce another gutless second half performance like last night. C,mon Hoss. We are all England supporters but this is the cream of football tournaments wi...
