How does England feel about the upcoming USA friendly? Let me guess: dismissive.
― dan m, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:10 (sixteen years ago) link
Dismissive of the Enlgand team? Yes.
― Tom D., Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Considering how shit the US have been of late, they shouldn't.
― Michael White, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Jozy Altidore isn't, y'know, awful.
― Dom Passantino, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:15 (sixteen years ago) link
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
― blueski, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Hi, mattttt!

Scientific study proves that this is indeed the case

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.
― caek, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:55 (sixteen years ago) link
C'mon, you can dislike Lampard ANY day.
― Michael White, Thursday, 27 March 2008 17:03 (sixteen years ago) link

Quality zinging from Lippi here, based around the central thesis that Robert Acquafresca is better than any English footballer currently playing.
― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 29 April 2008 12:32 (sixteen years ago) link
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"
― Dom Passantino, Thursday, 29 May 2008 10:17 (sixteen years ago) link
I like the sound of that

Beckham back as Captain, lol.
― Herman G. Neuname, Saturday, 31 May 2008 15:48 (sixteen years ago) link
Or maybe Captain Lol

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

Biggest disappointment of the season so far.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 19 August 2008 13:08 (fifteen years ago) link
meh. more disappointing is the england strikers selection.
― blueski, Tuesday, 19 August 2008 13:09 (fifteen years ago) link
Was a bit of a stretch to ask an northern Italian to pick the black guy over the white one, admittedly.
― The stickman from the hilarious "xkcd" comics, Tuesday, 19 August 2008 13:12 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 19 August 2008 13:13 (fifteen years ago) link
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.

Meanwhile Bosnia are beating Estonia 7-0. Lol.
i for one am enjoying plucky underdogs England taking globe-straddling Croatia to task, in their own back yard no less.

I am not going to accept this is that good until Heskey starts doing the goal putt celebration.

Also fuck dodgy internet streams for choosing tonight to fuck up all at once.
I shudder at the thought of how vulgar the gutter press will be in reporting this tomorrow.

Franjo Tuđman , Paul Salopek, Janko Bobetko, Mate Boban, Ante Starčević, Željko Mavrović, Marija Petkovićve...Ivo Sanader, can you hear me? Your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!
