I've heard the Irish just het drunk, Sweden on the other hand will bring blondes!
To be fair, it took Rooney about a decade to release that ball.

Clearly super desperate to impress tonight.
It will take him a little bit of time to realise that he's Welbeck's back up.
Was he actually booed?

As long as we smash Turkey and don't screw up all is good.

He doesn't really need to be so desparate. He's a quality player, and if he's in the right place he'll get his chances. He just plays and positions himself so poorly sometimes though, you can't tell if it's an unconscious deficiency or if he really is that greedy.

Would have been pretty harsh wouldn't it? The cross was close to Pique, it bounced off his knee and barely hit his arm. Or at least looked that way.
A bottle of Ketamine is coming your way horse.
That must be so depressing.
:lol

He's always been quite greedy from what I can remember.
Some players are just like that.
They're all left footed too.

He's 100% right.
Just finished watching the Denmark-Italy match, player by player, most likely one of the poorest Italian sides in my memory, De Silvestri + Ranocchia + Balzaretti = perfect recipe for disaster. Would have liked to see some Verratti action as well.

I hope so Manager. I hope so.
I think a 3-1 would have been more appropiate than a 6-0. Ireland had several good chances to score a goal: That header against the bar, the shot from distance after Neuer's trip to the half-way line, also one header and several other very decent shooting opportunies in the last 20 minutes. We were very dominant but did not have THAT many more chances compared to IRE.
Curious to see, whether we'll see a completely different team against sweden now that we're qualified.

Spain is so predictable these days. A big NT like Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Germany will beat them easily. I don't see Spain winning the WC, they need a new coach with new ideas. Struggling against teams like this one and Finland ain't gonna cut it.
Spain remind me of Barcelona 2 seasons ago (Pep's last one and the one with Tito)

Maybe a bit harsh but a fair decision. Matters naught though at this point.
Good work, England! Win and you're in.

It's funny, it was the same thing in the Denmark match with one useless defender fucking it all up.
Not going to tell you who, but he looked like he was under the influence of glue.
My boy Siggi scored the other Iceland goal. The two Iceland strikers playing in the Eredivisie are on a roll over there lately. The other one being Heerenveen striker Finbogasson.

he's one of the worst players I've ever seen play for England.
I don't think they've struggled really -- Belarus had 11 behind the ball the whole time which is always going to be tough to crack. Couple nice chances but they've been a bit wasteful.
They need to get a striker playing who is clinical. Negredo isn't necessarily the one (he missed a lot of chances for Sevilla), but they've gotta find one who grab the game by the scruff of the neck and score. Michu doesn't appear suited to be a CF with their play style although I think he could work well as a secondary striker if del Bosque would go that route. With so many midfielders on, it's pretty clear that they're lacking that finishing touch a true striker brings.
A Serie B backline, at best.

Do you think Barca/Madrid will sign Townsend after that performance?
Playing Michu instead of Negredo is a ridiculous decision. He has played so well lately in Spain, goals and assists.
Perez will offer £50m in January.
They're already tapping him up!

Considering Bendtner didn't manage to score a single goal in Serie A and scored two today, I have to agree
Poor Chiellini having to put up with those guys. I seriously had no idea De Silvestri was still around (he plays for Samp apparently), Prandelli just likes to remind me about him every now and then I guess
Rueda will destroy you

Agger protesting for an offside :lol
He was like 2 meters in front of you.
and uhm, this impressive defending against the mighty Osvaldo
Well he did make a turn towards the goal, how was he supposed to know
Buffon playing like a serie c keeper too.

Pretty dull. Spain playing boring tiki taka, not that amazing tiki tata that Martino uses.
Corrected it for you

Pep's tiki taka was pretty shit in his last season(entertainment wise). But yes you are right too.
