LOL
But, it is true Beckham doesn't make an impact on the game (well, not as much as he should do, IMHO). I mean England with or without Beckham doesn't really make a difference to me. Gerrard yes, Beckham no

dogbone said:This is probably a bit cruel to say and I don't mean to offend anyone, but I always thought that Michael Owen's run of bad luck began when he decided to ditch the clup that loved him and forgave all his attrocious missed penalties and dips in form. They begged him to stay but he gave them the finger to seek trophies at Real. Ever since it's been downhill all the way while his old club have prospered without him.
But wouldn't you agree that England's defending of set pieces was also worse than a pub team? Should we say they also don't deserve to win if they let 2 set pieces through and almost let another 3 through.
billyboy said:England are the most annoying bunch of gits I have come across. They are so talented individually (except Lampard and the **** of a goalie), and as a team they are consistently mediocre when it comes to putting teams away. They should ahve a rocket up their ***ses. And what is with keeping Crouch on and leaving him up front on his own? Ridiculous management and half professional team performance. No doubt England will get to the semi finals, and then hopefully get shown up for the bluffers they seem to be this time around. Can u tell I am not that impressed any more![]()
dogbone said:I thought Joe Cole's goal is the goal of the tournament so far. Although probably not many would agree. I thought it had a magical timeless quality. One of those goals that he knew was going in as it left his foot. As I said earlier, a mini version of Beckham's 60 yard shot from his own half in 1995 that sailed over Sullivan's flapping hands.
BakedBeans said:I actually meant swedens first goal but I actually agree with you on the Cole goal assessment. it was the best goal of the tourny so far - without question.
BakedBeans said:Klose for germany was very good too - the one where he need it past the keeper.
Missed penalty shots! How many have there been thus far? Two, three? Argh.floyde said:Come on! Just two more goals Kikin!!
*Bangs head against wall*
*Faints*
I know, you should never let a rookie take a penalty shot in a World Cup. It's just too much pressure. Where was Rafa Marquez in all this?xsedrinam said:Missed penalty shots! How many have there been thus far? Two, three? Argh.
Perez out with two yellows, and Angola just went up 1-0. Mexico need a hat dance right now as even their advancing is in jeopardy.floyde said:I know, you should never let a rookie take a penalty shot in a World Cup. It's just too much pressure. Where was Rafa Marquez in all this?![]()

They'll get another opportunity to further convince in a little under three hours. I'm just remembering though that their party was against S&M. Holland is not Serbia.billyboy said:The more games i see the more convincing Argentina look.

It's a smart move, imo, to be ready for either Portugal or Mexico with all bullets. It'll be good to see Messi and Tevez get some time and experience.MacsRgr8 said:Too bad both teams are very cautious, and will "rest" the players who already have a yellow card.
So we won't see the strongest teams on both sides.
