Come anticipate Fabio Capello's two years as England manager with me

i couldn't watch a game just on the basis that i wanted one of the teams to lose. i mean, what if they won? that would be awful!

It's like wrestling, you don't mind watching the evil Commie win a few matches, as long as he gets his comeuppance in the end.

or electing Boris so that we can watch him crash and burn a bendy bus

Newcastle had a good win against Fulham last week and I reckon that most neutrals would want the Magpies to retain their Premier League status.

The rather wonderful verb gufare means to support against, to wish bad luck upon. It comes from the noun gufo, meaning owl, since the owl in Italy (and Spain) is a symbol of bad luck. So football fans “owl” for another team.

In the metric system, a microgram is 1/1,000,000 of a gram (1 × 10-6), or 1/1000 of a milligram, is one of the smallest units of weight/mass commonly used. The abbreviation μg is often used in scientific literature, but JCAHO recommends that hospitals do not use this abbreviation in handwritten orders due to the risk that the greek letter μ could be mistaken for an m, resulting in a thousandfold overdose. The abbreviation mcg is recommended instead.[1]

shit sorry

"Crank That (Soulja Boy)" is the hit debut single by rapper Soulja Boy from his debut album Souljaboytellem.com. It spent seven weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 2007. The song is easily recognized with its steel pan melody. Soulja Boy performed the song on TRL and 106 & Park on August 27, 2007. He also performed it on the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards at Kanye West's Good Life Party.

hey why else would i support England?

I can think of several teams I gufo.

guffaw

How does England feel about the upcoming USA friendly? Let me guess: dismissive.

Dismissive of the Enlgand team? Yes.

Considering how shit the US have been of late, they shouldn't.

Jozy Altidore isn't, y'know, awful.

tbh you can have Giuseppe Rossi back as well, we really don't need him in the Italian national team.

So what was England up to again while the US was beating a Euro qualifying team away by 3 goals again? Oh that's right, not qualifying, or winning, or even challenging the French goal. Keep playing like it's 1960 gentlemen. I hear the long ball is massively effective.

We would love to have Rossi -- except he seems to be drowning in denial.

when was the last time the US qualified for the Euros? exactly

Hi, mattttt!

I hear the long ball is massively effective

Scientific study proves that this is indeed the case

the long ball

we've started talking abt rugby now?

there is a friendly against the USA? I don't think most people know when there is a friendly against brazil coming up until a couple of weeks before, never mind against a team whose own country has little interest in it. so there is zero interest in the outcome of the game per se here, except where it provides opportunities to dislike frank lampard.

C'mon, you can dislike Lampard ANY day.

i forget why people do

he fat

cos he so fat....... something about yo momma

x-post

fat footballers are to be cherished

but not fat rich bastard ones

Quality zinging from Lippi here, based around the central thesis that Robert Acquafresca is better than any English footballer currently playing.

Someone please suggest England's current best eleven. Otherwise I'm going to use this thread to lol at Trap's belief that "Robbie Keane can be an Irish Totti"

I like the sound of that

Beckham back as Captain, lol.

Or maybe Captain Lol

Capello could just suck off Jack Warner and save having to do this.

Biggest disappointment of the season so far.

meh. more disappointing is the england strikers selection.

Was a bit of a stretch to ask an northern Italian to pick the black guy over the white one, admittedly.

It's less that I particularly wanted any of the others to be captain and more that I take pleasure in things that annoy John Terry.

Theo Walcott will never have another game like this again.

Cocking hell. 3-0.

I'm sure the tabloids will assess this match in a measured, thoughtful way tomorrow.

IT'S CAPELLO'S NIGHT IN MUNICH.
