    When Redknapp asked Rodgers, he was manager of Swansea not Liverpool.

  2. Rodgers would have jumped at the chance of working with Redknap, for England.

    Was that the same game where Johnson kept on running into his space? In South Africa the one I'm thinking of.

    Cheers for that but I know.. Redknapp discussed the topic in his biography and mentioned Rodgers was '' well up for it ''. Just if successful then I doubt Liverpool would have allowed him to continue once he moved there.

    Speaking hypothetically, if he'd taken the England assitant job from Swansea....he wouldn't necessarily have gone to Liverpool. Is it usual for them to take up fulltime jobs elsewhere aswell? I'm pretty sure it would have to be either or. The prize to stay with England had he taken it, would be the WC in Rio, once in a lifetime, he has time on his side for club management.

    Spain's game v Italy is both their last International before Rio, yep, next game for Italy is us.

    Englands prep on the other hand is to play three games in 8 days, 1 week before we play Italy. <doh>

    Brazil were booked to play South Africa in a 90k stadium which was half full at best, the tickets, wait for this, ranged from £3-£11.50!!!

    I just don't remember. My memory is only of thinking the commentators were out of their minds. "He's beating his man every single time, like clockwork, completely destroying him, the entire rest of the team is doing jack, and you're saying Lennon is ****e?" (To be fair, his last ball was pretty poor, but still). And yet the judgment seems to have stuck.

    Against Algeria I think. Lennon would make run after after run but no-one would pass to him. Then the players started to pass into the space for those runs, only for lennon to run into Glenda everytime. No-one else did anything until Crouch game on who ran around like a man posessed trying to make things happen. You know your team is **** when Crouch is your most creative player.
