You are starting to sound like an Argentine.been here all the season, was waiting till June 6 to make my post here since its when we ascend to 2nd place on the worlwide FIFA ranking
I understand that feeling. I get like that even for Mexico friendlies.
edit: sixty thousand people in the stadium!? How much of Uruguay's population is that?

not even watching the game cause I had too much coffee and I get nervous as fuck. Im listening to it in the background.. will watch some of it..
Lawl, watch it. We've been lucky as fuck these qualifiers, I expect an actual good team like Uruguay to completely dominate us.

It annoys me that they don't care at all how shit they are. No one ever says anything positive about their coverage, so I don't understand how any of them still have jobs. The only explanation is that they go off of ratings alone and are happy with them. Actually, the other explanation is that they are considered celebrities by ITV.
they'd wish
Hardly the same team we've been able to easily beat. There's little luck, its a damn good team.
haha, I was actually going but decided against it.. stadium is full but there's still 3 million people outside in the whole country
We gonna get whipped.

So, all the other European teams have test matches and train while Löw says "go home, the next few days are free". What the hell, this better goes well, Löw...

I don't know who I consider a bigger tosser. Tyldesley or Townsend?

Well done to England, they played better and deserved their win. At least we didn't get spanked.

Damn, Lugano got Lugano'd.
Venezuela is a good team. You crazy.
It's been three million for how many years now?haha, I was actually going but decided against it.. stadium is full but there's still 3 million people outside in the whole country
You shouldn't read much into an end of season friendly.
Having said that, Dembele played quite well.

Townsend. I don't even know why he exists.
It's because of his selfish genes.
If I had to bet id say we're closer to 3.5 now
It's and old people country. Someone dies and someone is born, its pretty weird how we've mantained such a similar number over the years.

Ruso Pérez is like Lugano 2.0. That tackle was awful.
May be all those footballer exports.
3 goals scored in 4 games, all in corners or free kicks. We have no game whatsoever. Our defense greatly improved with Amorebieta but that's it. I see no improvements on the attacking side and we aren't going to be lucky forever with corners/free kicks.
Yeah, we won't get dominated because the defense is good but this coach is an stingy fucker. We won't qualify winning 1-0 every game.

One-nil, to the Ingerlund, one-nil.
Thing is, I think they have a much better chance of progressing far in the tournament now than ever before. I won't be watching England, but they may well end up in the Quarters or even Semis playing this way.

Spain won a World Cup like that. I wouldn't be so down.
Venezuela reminds me of Mexico in the nineties: great defence but total lack of sharpness in the front. Of course the competition cannot be compared.
Agree, Dembele was decent too. Rumours going around of United having a deal for dembele accepted. If true, Hope this doesn't mean Nani is on the way out.
It's possible to win a short tourney like that but Conmebol qualifiers are more akin to a normal longer league. That's why I'm so worried about the team.
But you're right I need to be more positive
He wants to sign for another country.

I thought he had signaled a penalty. Very close.
Juventus won their 28th scudetto like that!It's possible to win a short tourney like that but Conmebol qualifiers are more akin to a normal longer league. That's why I'm so worried about the team.

Happy for Welbeck, I like him
:lol :lol :lol
His finish was class no doubt about it. A beautiful chip.
looool
Seriously though, it's a bit odd. Maybe he has an injury niggle. For their best player not to have been involved in their warm-up games is rather strange.
Dembele was a forward that has been converted into a CM.
If we sign him it would have no impact on whether Nani stays or leaves.
And his agent has said that there is interest from Chelsea too.
He'll probably be playing for them next season.

Very late, but nonethless:
I really like Lambert at Villa. I think he'll be able to attract some good players and satisfy the fans' need for attractive, positive football.
I'm cautious about Rodgers at Liverpool. I guess you could say there's no where but up to go, yet there are such big problems with the team Dalglish/Commoli left behind.

Tyldesley.
Townsend is an idiot but I find Tyldesley quite sinister in his arrogance.

Rumours that ITV have bid for live Premier League football, 12 game package. I would be amazed if they pulled it off at the expense of ESPN, but if they do, more Tyldesley and Townsend for everyone

That would be pretty awesome. Fuck ESPN and fuck Virgin, all they've done is put the price up for viewers.Rumours that ITV have bid for live Premier League football, 12 game package.

ITV has been slightly good recently with football, tennis, and bond films.

All these players are cancheros as fuck. lol
wouldn't be a bad buy for them, but he could find himself on the bench quite often.
Well, that would be awesome and strange at the same time. No idea how they've managed to afford it if they have bid. I'd be happy though, all this "fair for consumers" crap from the EU did was put the price up for everyone.Rumours that ITV have bid for live Premier League football, 12 game package.
