I didn't say we were good, never said we were great (Who said they great btw?). But maybe from when we won the world cup. . . and actual qualify for tournaments on this level .
(waits for an inevitable comeback from about england not qualifying for USA'94)

I agree about the sin bin too - it would give the fourth offical something to do... other than adding Man U time to the clock.

well, I haven't been watching it from the beginning, but there was a penalty at least once for Switzerland.
but it doesn't change that the Swiss aren't a competition at the european level. really. even we play better.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

funny, generally when you're "pulled back" you fall towards the person doing the pulling, not away from them (yet incidentally right into the ref's line of sight...)
Incidentally, are you gonna get yourselves a good goalie anytime? Cudicini mayhaps?
quote:I know... great isn't it If not for your team turning up we'd have won by miles
If not for Robinson it would have been way more than 1-0

Why did Owen have to go to Madrid? Benitez said once Owen found out Madrid was interested, it was all over. Is Madrid a big step up for Owen?
Also, it appears this means Viera is not going anywhere. I guess it was one or the other to Real Madrid?
So owen feels like Madrid is an opportunity he can't pass up, whereas Viera prefers to stay in the Premiership with Arsenal. Because Arse is a better team?

Grea rugby weekend quality win by a completely untested England side, although many of the South African "players to watch" horrifically underperformed... Martin Corry played the best match of his live... Hodgson is over-hyped

The Portugal-England match will produce the winner of the tournament now I think. This is definitely Portugal's chance to deliver on its home soil after so many big names have crashed out. France still a big chance, and I'm still rooting for Holland though.

okay okay okay... I think you need a fresh eye on this:
1. england played defensively and it had to end like in England - France, in these champs it always does. safeguarding isn't the way.
2. Campbell's goal was null and void. that guy there, next to him (Gerrard?) was wrestling the goalkeeper, and I reckon this isn't allowed .
3. the referee was suprisingly OK, he didn't go for the portuguese tricks, so numerous in that game.
4. it's hard to blame your team. after all, you have Beckham...

For example: Just as the Sweden v Bulgaria game kicks off ..."Well, last night it was the heavy weights, and now for the cruiser weights"
Or, at half time last night ..."All is well in the world."
and so on... ARGHHHHHHHH!
hehe that's really annoying. what's worse, our commentators go "for" the big teams, like: today, Swedes don't make fouls, they "fight valiantly for the ball", but the bulgarians foul all the time
oh, and, when was the last time when England beated Sweden?

@BAD - we've won the Olympics and been 3rd in the WC of 1974! so shaddap about the past glories we've had some too
anyways, who says that? your commentaries shout about that all the time until you lose in the quarters or something like that

Go Ireland Impressive win!
And I'm sure the doubling in salary has nothing to do with his enthusiasm to come and manage us
we could be great again We were the original Man Untied, I'll have you know, young whippersnapper

because rooney is an ass, and he was bound to get himself into trouble sooner or later. so if they wanted to use him futher on in the tournament, he had to come off. besides, heskey is a better first defender than rooney. they were aiming for that 1-0 victory.

welcome to a new thread, by Jaques Santini, Spurs manager
we also now have 5 - yes! 5 goalkeepers... is this not slightly over the top, even for a team with a defence as crap as spurs?
damn you cadz

well it is the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend, any predictions? or do you think like Ralph Schumacher, who is growing weary of his brothers domination of the sport, that it will be Michael Schumacher all the way, and Ralph is apparently finding it boring being unable to beat Ferrari, maybe this explains why he has such difficulty keeping the car on the track and being the cause of several accidents maybe then he would have a chance to beat his brother...
