Greece winning the Euros was probably less likely than England (the--stop laughing--#3 team in the world) winning the next world cup. Of course the only way, it seems, to get a completely undeserving winner is to put 10 men behind the ball and hope for the best--and Hodgson won't do that, I think. I actually think Hodgson has done well so far. But the best recipe for England to score goals may just be starting Crouch with Defoe.
So Defoe starting as the lone striker then. He's getting enough practice maybe he will get good at it!
What a ****hole of a ground, why buy a ticket, just get a case of beer and knock the door of one of those flats overlooking it!
Interviewer - Why JD up front and not Welbeck? Woy - Because JD has been playing well for Spurs. ...really!!!
To be fair, I don't think he could admit the it was simply that he was the least crap of all the strikers so far this season. As for that midfield Utter, utter, utter ****
Again, goal number 3 of total insignificance, against a very weak side. he'll be starting for us against reading...
Spurs players in Europe. Lloris - clean sheet v Finland JD - scored Vertonghen - scored ...we have a new free kick taker! Dembele - withdrawn after a hour, not much impact by the look of it. Bale - did well as ever. Sig - 90mins, not sure how he did, but not bad enough to be subbed. Walker - No minutes Others Dempsey - scored Ade - Togo play Gabon this pm, scored. Sandro - Not involved in 1-0 win over Sth Africa in a friendly. Benni - Maceroon play Cape Verdi islands at 6pm A point here is you couldn't call us a team full of current internationals!
Yes you could. Add Parker and Kaboul who'd both be playing if not injured and Benny plays for Cameroon, that's the whole team. Jake is part of the U21s. Only have to see the training photos showing Huddlestone on his own with the kids. It occurs to me you are being ironic!
forgot Benny! SD no if's , I did say current mate, YK didn't play in their last friendly or the Euro's did he? does he get a look in when fit? Also Brad, no, Gallas, no, Lennon, no, Jenas who's entered the fray again, no. You might want to re-think SD.
Hard to tell with Kaboul as he'd not long broken into the team and has had a few injuries since but I think Mexes is out of favour now so it's between him, Koscielny, Rami and Sakho. To be fair, Walker should count but Hodgson's a fool.
Wellbeck was left on the bench till the second half (came on for JD), Cleverley started? Carrick also came on. Other than that, no ManU players at all.
Ade scored the equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Gabon. The return in October will see if we lose him in Jan
Wonder why every four years isn't enough? Why am I thinking that if they got the chance there would be a ACN ever four months!
Togo will be at home so slight favourites perhaps. I'd like to think we'll adddress that in Jan with another striker. Cameroon lost 2-0. Doesn't look like Benny got much action either, he's not in the starting 11 photo. http://www.goal.com/en/news/89/afri...ica-cup-of-nations-1st-leg-qualifying-results
