    No particular favourite. But all their penalty shoot outs were good for a giggle.

    Internationals are ****.

    Just seen the latest batch of international shirts to come out, some look pretty decent, others look honking.

    Adidas seem to be ditching traditional colours and doing their own thing, Spain all in red, Germany all in white, Scotland with navy shorts, Columbia with white shorts etc

    Internationals are **** because you support Northern Ireland <doh>

    Not even Scotland are that ****: Croatia > Luxembourg

    Loving the NI photo though. Steven Davis looking like it's the proudest thing he's ever done, Niall McGinn wishing he was dead, and the other boy who is clearly suffering from hydrocephalus <ok>

    But I don't support Northern Ireland, watch the odd game of theirs but internationals in general are pish until it comes to actual tournaments.

    I think most football fans would agree with that.

    No wouldn't agree with that,if your team has a chance to qualify then internationals can give a geat buzz and I've gone to enough of them to know.I don't think you could count tomorrows matches as pish:


    Iceland v Croatia
    Greece v Romania
    Portugal v Sweden
    Ukraine v France

    I'll do a accumulator on these and here's my predictions Croatia,Greece,Portugal and Ukraine.(win tomorrow only)

    Mexico 1970, England 0-1 Brazil. We were world champions. They were the best side the world had ever seen. I was 9 years old.
    Euro 96, England 4-1 Holland. We didn't just beat a very good Dutch side, we outclassed em.
    France 98, England 2-2 Argentina (Argentina won 4-3 on penalties). Michael Owen's goal. ****ing hell.

    So memorable you can't even get the result correct <doh>

    Mine would be
    England 0 Brazil 1 May 1981 - first football match I ever went to
    France 1 England 3 Spain June 1982 as I was 12 and it was the first time I ever saw England in a world cup.
    England 1 Germany 1 July 1990 so close and yet so far.

    There is some serious beel in certain sectors of society at the extent to which that NI kit looks like the RoI one. They are not liking it, not one bit <laugh>

    It's not it's white.

    Really? I haven't heard anyone say that. Most people I spoke to just don't like the lime green stripes

    Niall McGinn was dead at Celtic, floundering under route 1 football now he is positively Blooming playing in a team that actually tries to play total football. Well done The Dons
