England Team

Granted I'm not an expert of their players but the strength is clearly in the middle.

They seemed to have found their #1 in Robinson in net. On defence, they have a formidable starting 4 but after that they seem pretty stretched. The middle, like I said, is very good indeed. In attack they have 2 injured players with broken bones in their feet. A tall motherfucker in Peter Crouch, who is quite shitty in the air. He does hold up the ball well though and is a good target man. This team is screaming for Darren Bent. Theo Wolcott, good prospect indeed, but I would think a pre-requisite would be playing at least 1 minute in the EPL before making the NT. That's just a wasted pick.

Me thinks England will be playing the lone striker Crouch up front and clogging the midfield with extra bodies. Then when (if) Owen and Rooney get fit, bring them into the lineup.

Lampard and Cole are going to have to really help the attack out if they want to score some goals.

Walcott

well. Owen was 18 y.o. in 1998 as was Rooney in 2004 and both were impact players for them. Maybe SGE is playing that angle. And unlike the others he is healthy. And he still played at a somewhat high level earlier this season before playing for the Arsenal reserves.

England have great depth in the defense. SGE has said that depth is what enabled him to pick Walcott.

It's likely Joe Cole will play the role of Rooney if England stick to the same formation as usual. What is clear is that Peter Crouch will be starting almost every game unless Rooney gets his miracle.

Owen will, in all probability, be fit. He's already played some PL football so barring any setbacks he'll be OK and just need some match fitness.

And barring any of that the plan is to play Boris Johnson. Here's a clip of him playing a legends charity game against the German team.

And in case after that you need more Boris, here he is making a mess of hosting a TV Show.

You can't say anything else than that SGE at least have courage


A couple of years ago I got some pictures of nude guys standing in front of some barrels with cryllic letters on them on my IM messages after we won the Europeans, I guess it was some fellow red wing fans trying to pull a prank just to see whether I'd get embarrassed but just because I'm a dork I'm not a puritan.

LOL @ Rudi Voeller's perm.

There is an unfortunate error below, read is as 4-4-1-0.

Can Gerrard and Lampard play together? They're both excellent midfielders but they like to attack - who is going to play d mid/holding mid?

and lol@crouch up front

Is Robinson surrendering?

heh

those are subbuteo players

god I loved that game when I was a kid

WINDY
You're routing for Trinidad right?

If Windy's for Trinidad, I'm for Tobago. Bets are accepted.

Lol, either he's deliberately about to screw England and serve thier donuts chilled after the shit he's been taking or he's making a daredevil gamble.

A 4-5-1 could though make sense,and some of the writers in Swedish media speculates that he will actually give the newbie the chance.


Not a WC matter but I saw that Nistelrooy was shipped from Manchester, so obviously he wasn't just a whiney little priss he was quite a stinker in the locker room too.

He made a "Dad" joke to cronaldo who seems to have lost his balls and burst into tears.

Buzzz wrote:WINDY

No he isn't. I can only think of 3 teams that will be routing Trinidad and Holland aren't one as they aren't in the same group.

Really? I haven't heard any reasons yet, only that something happened in midweek, but Fergie dropped RvN 3 months ago, so there must be more to it than whatever it was that stopped Ruud playing in Keane's testimonial.

Less than a year ago a bunch of Russians were mocking me for predicting that Wright-Phillips got himself into the wrong team. Sorry to say I was Wright.

C'mon Fuqit....Nistelrooy has been a yapping whiner for years.....having been involved in sports at various times and at various levels I can say I much prefer someone who comes in in the locker room and kick a couple of waterbottles and throws a couple of swearwords rather than someone who's pouting for ages and thereby places a mental towel of concrete over the whole team. Besides, one would think that someone with the talent and skill Nistelrooy posess he should put himself above belitteling newer and younger players on his own goddamn team. Had he been cool (I really loathe using those labels but I find no better at this moment) had he ever attempted to mock someone larger or with more talent than him. A little man & mind in a big soccerplayers body. Verbal whipping can work for some to get going but for some it can be disastrous.

I think Sweden will make it trough first round despite their "star" players have been less than at their best of lately. It can actually be an advantage if 2/3 of the team are not relying too heavily that 1/3 will get the job done.

Actually I could picture van Nistlerooy as the guy who could go posture as a pornactor on the internet but becomes all pissy sour when people tell him he looks like a jerkoff who better stay home and go f*ck himself.

T&T drew 1-1 against Peru in Oort Of Spain, Trinidad.

Nistelrooy has been a yapping whiner for years

Based on what? I've never heard that he was disruptive in the clubhouse

If anything, Fergie got pissed at him because he was one of the few veteran players to stand up for Keane when he had his bust-up with Sir MoanALot. I think RVN just got fed up with being yo-yod around the starting line-up - it's not like he wasn't producing when he got dropped.

Is this even on this planet?

You know those crazy trinnies, getting some weed and playing in Oort of Spain

And how did Spain come into possession of this Oort?

not sure but one can assume conquistadors and magic mushrooms were involved

In training Carlos Queiroz gave a FK to cronaldo after a RVN challenge.

RVN said No surprise there then, a FK from your Dad.

cronaldo replied that he didn't have a Dad, remember his Dad dies not so long ago surrounding much publicity about it affecting his form.

RVN said No, you do have a Dad, Carlos.

And while I might be using artistic license here cronaldo ran away in tears.

The relationship between the two has been frosty for a while as RVN is frustrated with cronaldos lack of supply.

The "joke" was ill advised but RVN is the leading goalscorer and has given Man Utd his all for a long while now. AF however is always quick to react when the general well being of the squad is affected.

Hence he dropped RVN again and refused to allow him to participate in Keanes testimonial game.

RVN is an OT legend, his love of the club is un-questionable but it looks like he'll go in the same way Ince, Staam, Beckham and Keane did.

Poor wittle wonaldo

Ali

How's it going Mr. Ponce? :P

Why do you call him Cronaldo btw? I forgot

BTW, that chick in your user pic is smoking hot - who is she?

oh buggers.... that should be Port of Spain

Classless

That's fucking bullshit. To say something like that is disgusting. Fuck RVN. Hope he infects the Dutch team with the same bad karma.

Why do you call him Cronoldo, Ali ?

Cristiano Ronaldo 0 cronaldo.

Top player with shitloads of skill who's had a rough time. His Dad died and then he was accused of rape.

His form over the last part of the season was way better, but he still needs to learn to release the ball earlier and work on the quality of his crosses.







Not sure why I'm mocking one of our players.

Windy - I'm good, bloody great truth be told. I finished all my "real" work in the North and am in Santiago now. Been doing a few events and commercials here and next week I'm off to arrange two fashion shows in the North.

I love choosing the models.

Ali

Glad to hear it!

And lol at that little cartoon

What about you? How's the new job? Did you move to NY in the end?

Cronoldo

I still don't understand this title. Yes, I knew about his father passing and the rape accusations.

that cartoon is funny though. very true too !

We're great. Living about 30 miles from NYC in New Jersey. We miss Chicago but have met some great people here and work is going really well.

Actually going to Chicago this weekend plus a few days for a friend's 40th - unfortunately looks like rain all 5 days . . .

How do you feel about England's chances at the WC? Seems to me they got crocked when Rooney did

I still don't understand this title.

explain it then, smart ass....

reread Ali's post - the first sentence at any rate - and think some more about it

but not too hard

Windy - Svens gone mental and I love it!!

He's picked a squad with all sorts of quirks in it. From a lad who hasn't played a single first team PL game in his life to two injured strikers and a bloody great giraffe who doesn't score often but assists well.

It's an attacking squad, and with him leaving after the WC he just might throw caution to the wind and play the way we've been wanting him to for 5 years.

McClaren is a spanner in the works though, bloody useless cunt with the tactical acumen of a slug. Great on the training pitch and shit in the dugout. Hence his success with Alex Ferguson.

Our defense is solid, very good.

The midfield is also pretty loaded with Gerrard, Beckham and Lampard. A lot will rest on them though because they'll have to support the thin front line.

Little Joe Cole might be key in linking the midfield to Crouch until Owen gets into the swing of things.

It's nto as bad as people would have you believe, Rooney was always going to be a key player but without him while we have a lesser squad it's still a reasonable one.

Pabs - Can you work out Djemba2?

I don't get it...
