The English press will ****ing slate him for missing that pen, and will completely ignore the fact he has scored 4.
Did I log in as someone else and type this last night?!? In all seriousness, i couldnt agree more and the Pirlo thing REALLY pissed me off last year. It was as if it was the first time any of the British media had seen him. He'd been doing that for a decade ever since Ancelotti changed him from a trequartista into a deep lying midfielder. Whenever we have foreign football in featuring people who don't play in the EPL the lack of knowledge astounds me. In this age if satellite tv it really doesn't take much to research.
Tahiti have played the odd decent bit of football, they have no defence and their keeper's clueless, but they have looked tidy going forward at times.
Bollocks to research, It's their job. They should we watching the MOTD equivelant for all the top leagues. Putting their hours in like Gary Neville does. Not just pick up the teamsheet a couple of weeks before the game and learn some names and facts. It's a ****ing joke.
What a ****. What's the point in England having a football team, if they're just going to fill it with Africans and go out of every tournament without doing anything?
If England played Tahiti it would be a scrappy 3-1 or something, with Tahiti looking like the most energetic and getting more men forward. Meanwhile Milner passes to Johnson passes to Downing and I fall asleep.
So by your logic because they are a small sovereign nation they shouldn't be allowed to play? 95% of teams win **** all, shall we get rid of them?
There it is! 10-0 Spain Silva's second. Well, this is a first for me. Never seen a team score 10 in a match. (Professional match, I must add)
If they are going to get smashed 10 nil every game then yes, just what is the point? I'm thinking about the carbon footprint and transporting these teams around the globe to play non competitive football matches, pointless.
