World Cup 2010

i'd get rid of glen johnson, can't defend to save his life, absolutely no idea who england would have at right back instead though, not like theres a abundance of good english right backs in england

edit: i wouldn't be surprised at all if the hungary friendly has pretty much exactly the same starting 11 as the team that lost to the germans btw

[oafc0000]

You'd keep Gareth Barry?

What a dilema for F. Capp to pick the next team...

scenario... "I ama gonna get rit ov the whola squada and bring ina all the youngsters like whata the esfesters are telling me-a"

And so he does...and we dont qualify for the Euros...he`ll get f**kin slated eh.

There is def mileage in this seemingly smug attitude that England players now have,culivated by money and the media..that we are better than we actually are.

I dont know how you can get rid of that now,given the way Sky have transformed the Premier League into this Icelandic-like volcano of £££££.

Agents dictating to Chairmen about wages etc etc.

OK--- wipe the slate clean...bring in a totally new crop (of whom though?)--but surely they are being fed on the same diatribe as their older counterparts,---more even.

Y`know on a very very base level... maybe we should just drop all this discussion etc etc and simply get behind whoever the team is.... I`m patriotic and it doesnt matter who they put out---i will have the same hopes and asperations for. All i want is to see some passion back in them---dont necessarily have to win stuff,although that would be great--i just wanna see the bastards play with the pride I have in my country. I`d sort the bastards out.

Den--- less f**kin sick, but a bit more f**kin sick than I was yesterday for some f**kin reason

So I would stick with 11 out of 23 and look for young replacements for the rest and take our chances. What is coming through to take up this slack ? Not a lot...

I'm right behind Germany for this one. Although i think Argentina will win, Holland V Germany in the final is a nice prospect. Kommen auf Deutschland!

edit: 1-0

germans have started amazingly, they look well up for this again

[pink_triangle]

Same with the article above about Germany incorporating youth; tis true but everything becomes cyclical.

[pink_triangle]

I now really hate ITVs coverage of it ... the punditry is abysmal, the constant clips of Desailly getting excited and the studios enjoyment of it is just bollocks - who gives a shit?? But its the adverts man ... cutting to a break just after extra time, jeez!

[funkymp]

bbc- please climb out of messi's ass for at least 5mins, it's unbelievable.

schweinsteiger is having an amazing game, completely bossing the game, hopefully 2nd half will be as good as the first

also, well done bbc for calling charlize theron a 'wag'

its on bbc

[funkymp]

they're both just as bad as each other

[funkymp]

klose's a beast at world cups isn't he? looks like goodbye argies

going on team performances over the last 2 games, i can see germany winning the world cup, their entire squad just seems to up for it. schweinsteiger or muller definately best players of the tournament so far imo.

25 quid on over 2.5 goals at even. yay! added onto the £7.50 profit i got yesterday. nice! watch me lose it all tonight

why were argentina favourites for this though? germany are something else, without having any proper world class players.

[ampersand]

didn;t think klose had the ability to flip

[pink_triangle]

The thing is germany have afew players on their way to being world class, while other countries have players who are called world class when they havent perfomed in the biggest games of their career or based on things they did 2-3 years ago.

[ampersand]

define 'world class'

edit: germany earnt me £162 from £8's worth of bets over the last 2 games.

[funkymp]

£108 off the england game

got £30 on klose scoring first, 2-1 half time for the england game (£2 at 15-1, wish used labrokes who had crazy odds on that), also got £58 on muller scoring twice (£2 at 24-1). then got another £20 on germany winning at half and full time + by 3 goals (£1 on 20-1, kind of low odds really which sucks a bit, but did put that on after germany went 2-0 up)

then £54 on todays game

£14 from klose scoring twice today (£1 at 14-1) and germans to win 4-0 got me £40 back (£2 at 20-1 just after they scored their 2nd).

weird cos doing crap on other games (started with a tenner on skybet, up to £190 odd at the mo saying that) - all my bets on the germans seem to be coming off

fancy torres to finally score tonight

germany - holland final would be pretty damn amazing if it happened, wonder how long before maradona steps down, seems dunga is going

[ampersand]

5/4 on over 2.5 goals in this game. can't see it happening sadly, think paraguay will frustrate spain. 1 or 2 nil for me.

[ampersand]

Really cant see this being a high scorer. 0-0 HT could be a good bet depending on odds

[minute5072]

my site, you can't bet on halftime score, but the draw at half time is evens.

i've shoved a fiver on pique to score anytime at 7/1.
