World Cup 2010

[Langdale Wolf]

It's a different Spain to those failing Spain teams, that's why.

It's not a different England team to those failing England teams.

A league with two teams.

There ain't just two teams in the WC.

[ampersand]

He's also won the European Cup by means of one of the most memorable finals in its history.

[Cardboard Box City]

is that the one you can thank scotland for?

[ampersand]

The last thing Scottish went out in the old style first round - Hugh Dallas wasn't the referee was he?

[beLIEveR]

In what way? I suppose Torres, Villa, Fabregas, Xavi, Casillas, Alonso, Iniesta, Sergio Ramos and Puyol weren't in the 2006 squad, were they?

Oh hang on.......

[ralph250]

eh? thought you were on about the zidane final at hampden?

[ampersand]

Nah, Capello's Milan beat Barca 4-0.

[ralph250]

don't know much about it. why's that seen as better than the likes of the liverpool one?

or we talking old school european cup? even so, a bit one sided to be most memorable by the sounds of it.

Love the fact that whilst Langdale's hoping and praying for England to win the world cup, he's overlooked that it'll mean Tyldesley's legacy will live on like Wolstenholme's.

[ralph250]

How utterly bizarre - he didn't get on my nerves once there. And I agree with pretty much everything he said too!

It must just be the shite he comes out with as he's commentating, and his annoying inconsistant pronunciation on certain players names. But there - I actually found him remotely likeable!!!

[Langdale Wolf]

You know he'll go back on what he's said there though; not gonna mention England's history and '66?

[ampersand]

There is a huge difference in the team from 2006 to now; they've actually won something.

[ste4_20]

yeah but when they did it, it makes them the best. if england were to do it this year, it would make them the luckiest team everz and would kill association football in england as we know it

[ampersand]

I'm avoiding that topic. Just saying that that team is a lot different now they've won something.

i know, the monkeys off the spanish back. and they'll be a lot more confident. as would be the case for england.

Speaking of "monkeys", it's funny how the media have forgotten all about the Aragones-Henry thing now that Spain aren't shit. I wonder if they'll remember it when Spain get knocked out by Brazil in the second round.
