Canada has a chance on Tuesday to reach the hexagonal...they merely need to beat already-eliminated El Salvador at home, have already-qualified Mexico beat Honduras (in the vaunted Estadio Azteca), and gain +6 in goal differential along the way. They will instead lose 3-0.
As I have a 100% record of success thus far in doing match threads for England, (well it turned out that way, I claim the rights to do the next one, but if anyone on this board wants to usurp me from my position I will be happy to be compensated with a bottle of Hampshire's finest white.
Big Sam is taking over a team that hasn't been properly managed in years, I will give him until the end of the World Cup before I castigate the team and any relation of theirs.
Sam was reported to say the pitch was good, though a little firm.... This isn't about Sam or the result really. It just showed me once again that our players really aren't as good as some media and fans make them out to be. The basics really were pretty average at times and we seemed to not make the right decisions at the right times on the pitch, struggling to break down another average team. Our problems are so much deeper than the manager and the squad.
Me too - maybe he can even become an ex saint that I would like to see do well. Even if his beard is still a bit... Well you know.
The problem is basic lack of intelligence that the average English footballer possesses between his ears!!!!
re; lallana Just when I start forgetting how utterly irritating he is he brings out a new advert or does a newspaper article. Guys a total nob.
So do I, but then in every advert break we saw his smug face in that ****ing Nivea advert, so that brought me back to reality.
Nothing wrong with a bit of cream for a blokes face, but a lot wrong with that ratty little man selling it to us.
This thread posted by Fran goes someway to explain things at the FA. http://www.not606.com/threads/les-and-the-fa.335578/#post-9669633 The bit about John Beck, well you have to laugh. Awards for kicking the ball the furthest FFS.
I was aware of Les's involvement and consequent removal from the FA and also read that article. One thing is for sure, these things take time.
I never really saw any clowns when I was a kid so didn't have any problems with them, and was surprised so many kids do. Now I'm older I've realised they are actually incredibly creepy. Look at the state of that guy, stuff of nightmares.
