I DONT CARE

Just watched Germany and Ecuador defeat their oponnents, only because it was on in the pub.

 

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...ar+cheesethink you need to hit the 'search' before you think your the First.. its been done, just no other sod took ther reins, and run with it, but now, cos its all here, y'all jump in thinking you 'special'

 

COME ON PARAGUAY but no doubt if england lose they will smash the place up like they always do. The problem is england think there team is great when really it is ****e. Then when they lose they come up with hundreds of excuses i wonder how long it will tAke before they blame rooney being injured

 

did you know they wont it in 66

just for all the people that didnt know

 

lmao, nice to hear from someone has absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

 

Here here................the work muppet comes to mind........or should that be MOTSON...................

Si.

£25 @ 20/1 for an ENGERLAND tournament win.

 

This is a perfect example of the internet posting moron.

Here we have a tw@t, who patently know nothing about football, giving us the benefit of his "experience".

 

lol, tit.

thats why england are second favourites behind brazil, coz they are ****e

FFS

dazzer

 

argentina are second favourites, england are third and right now going by the paraguay match they dont deserver to be so.

 

But sadly he is 100% right.

As for being 2nd favourites, I honestly don't know why the bookies think that. There isn't really anything special about the team. Overpaid primadonnas who can't deliver the goods for their national team.

 

Lets not turn this into an England \/ Scotland thread, we're talking about the World cup so there's no point even mentioning the scots.
I think we need to play a damn site better, we only won through an own goal but we will have to do very badly against T&T and Sweden not to qualify for the later stages now.

 

Agree, Scotland are irrelevant to any discussion of World Cup football.

Have to say after watching the performances of Argentina/Ivory Coast and even Sweden/T&T, the English and Paraguayans looked very amateurish.

 

Q. What do you call a Scotsman in the 2nd round of the World Cup?

A. Ref!


Don't worry about England, it was 30 degrees there yesterday, we don't have any more games in the early afternoon, so we'll be fine. Rooney looks ready to come back, we only need to beat T&T to qualify, and I think they had a one off game against Sweden, once they let in one goal I think they'll crumble.

 

do you follow football?
if so (which i doubt) are you telling everybody on here that you would have no England player in your club team?
if so my old bean,you are a tool of the highest order

and as for being 2nd favourites, you have no idea about bookmaking.
bookies have to offset there possible losses by offering short odds on the most backed teams/horses /whatever, and longer odds on the least backed teams/horses/whatever. hence England 6-1 mexico 33-1. in reallity there is no way the 2 teams are that far apart. this reflects the general betting publics opinions, which are backed up by hard cash.

edited to say: CMON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!

 

Well I hope they play a lot better in the other matches. We played pretty badly, with a few exceptions. Paraguay played dirty though and the ref was a waste of space.

Flame me all you want, we need to play better than this.

 

If I were to pick a team and choose the players from all the world cup players it would be struggling to have an English player.

No, I don't really understand how bookies work, but from your explanation it has become clearer, as England is clearly over-rated by the general public in England.

I would say the current FIFA rankings are more realistic.

1 Brazil
2 Czech Republic
3 The Netherlands
4 Mexico
5 USA
5 Spain
7 Portugal
8 France
9 Argentina
10 England

 

just out of interest can you show me your world 11.

and can you with a straight face say usa have the 5th best team in the world

 

GK - Kahn or Dida
DEF - Carlos, Lucio, Cafu, Campbell
MID - Figo, Ronaldinho, Zidane, Vieira or Beckham
FOR - Henry, Ibrahimovic

And I say struggling because you could easily replace Beckham or Campbell, but as for the other players I've listed I don't believe there are any English players as good.

 

I have just seen Mexico play and they are NOT as good as England .... the USA certainly shouldn't be anywhere near the top 10!!

The rest are pretty much what I would expect ....

Pete

 

**** me you like a brazilian don't ya
or an old past it fekker.
you should put your name in the hat for the real madrid job.

mine would be

buffon or casillas
terry, ashley cole, marquez, nesta
gerrard, messi, kaka
rooney or henry, torres, ronaldinho,

 

agreed

someone shoot me please its my time..... i've just agreed with pslewis

 

Being a football fan and having watched the game yesterday from a footballing point of view (not an England one! being a Scot ) I thought that Ericsson made some huge mistakes in the substitutions in particular taking Owen off.

England were well ontop in the First-Half but the sub of Owen could have cost them dearly. Although they wasted numerous chances to go further ahead IMHO.

I dont even remember Motson mentioning 1966 FFS

Gus

 

Owen played terrible, i sometimes had to search for him to make sure he was playing. Crouch was offside so may times he may as well have played in goal for Paraguay.

 

Yip, Owen wasn't great but what I should have said and meant was not replacing a like with like position. Leaving Crouch up front on his own totally changed play and favoured Paraguay's style of play. I think Crouch needs to learn to sit tighter into an "onside" position or learn to run

Gus

 

before the start we were 2nd favourite on betfair which is an global internet site with bo bookies behind it.

 

should go back to old days where scots and english fought in fields get rid of u english or get the ira to bomb u out do us all a favour get rid of ur wee poofie accents

 

i take it you mean no bookies.
have you never heard of laying a bet.
bookmakers use betfair loads, especially when they have large liabilities and need to limit possible losses.
one of my mates runs the local bookies and uses it when he thinks he's gonna get a big kicking. i'm not sure of the legallity of it but to suggest bookies don't use it is naive

p.s my spelling is, has always and always will be shocking

 

Can we return to the football on this thread please all this P*sh is getting us nowhere.

Dont lower yourselves to factual and childish inacuracies back to the football

 

Australia got their first goal and first win in something like 28 years. Cahill was amazing, imagine if they took a point from Brazil

 

There's nothing wrong with the England team in terms of player ability with the possible exception of Ferdinand

The problem lies with having a tactically inept, & unadventurous manager Why the **** did he take Walcott if he wasn't going to use him, Saturday would have been an ideal opportunity to give him a run out for 30 minutes, and at least give Crouch someone to knock the ball on too
