OT: Jock joke40 degrees - Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in Scotland sunbathe. 35 degrees - Italian cars won't start. People in Scotland drive with the windows down. 20 degrees - Floridians wear coats, gloves...
bearing in mind that Houllier had the luxury of the transfer market? Despite Eriksson and despite not having the most skilful players, England are in the 2nd round and with 2 wins from 2 "shocking" performances, things can only get better.
How many times did LFC score first, then struggle to hang on? How many times did we play long ball to Owen? How many times did we drop off in the 2nd half and desperately fight to keep a lead? And yet we won the Champions League and Uefa cup.
It was the result that counted then (or so you all said), so it's the results that count in the World Cup. How many other teams in the World Cup have beaten quality opposition yet? After 2 games each, suddenly Argentina are the best team in the world, England are the worst and Trinidad were "unlucky". And Ronaldo is drugged. Which looks true.
Argentina got a 2-1 win over Ivory Coast and hammered Serbia. Did they learn as much from scoring an easy 6 as we did from scrapping for 2 wins? Are they peaking too early? Every game from now on will be an anti-climax compared to that. Trinidad were only unlucky in that they tried to keep 11 men behind the ball and they got beaten. Yes, we struggled against Paraguay. Is it better to play badly and win than to play well and lose? How do we get "up" for a game against a team that is 9 million places below us?
Gerrard non existantI just get more bewildered with this fool of a manager, but it was inevitable that...
Must watch TV 205Nope I totally disagree with that. The miners were not forced by Scargil to go out on strike, they went out because they knew their futures were at stake. The only violence committed was in...
Do you really think the Argies will play the same tactics and with the same confidence against England? Because Senegal played well last night and got a draw against the 4th ranked team in the world, they'll go on to win the World Cup? Of course not. Nothing concrete can be learned from 2 games against unknown quantities. England are already in the 2nd round, to hear some of you going on, you make it sound as if we lost all 3 group games and are coming home.
Bellamy done dealmill, in maybe but i reckon gerrard would kill him (er... that is.. put him straight very quickly) the squad is meant to be in great shape morale wise so as CB...
England will reach the semis, with their performances gearing up to the quality of the opposition, as they always have done. Germany and Argentina don't want to play us. Meanwhile, Houllier is still a sandwich short of a picnic, and Scotland have a month's rest.
