I have to say I was quite impressed when I was watching the first match a week ago between N. Korea and Iran. Koreans played very aggressive and had a lot of chances to score a goal.Mekstizzle wrote:

Man Utd's Park-Ji Sung scoring for South Korea on the 81st minute otherwise it would've been Iran who would've gone through instead of North Korea (it would've been at least one of those axis of evil countries )

And yet I'd rather Crouch play then Emile Ivanhoe Heskey...Mekstizzle wrote:
I hate Crouch, he's mediocre in the air (which is bad, considering his height) and he's god awful with his feet (I saw that bit where he completely missed the cross and it went through him about 10 minutes ago)SEREVENT wrote:

Peter Crouch is a fucking awful footballer yet he always gets those stupid goals, I missed his goal just now but I bet even against Andorra it was stupid
Not one of football's finest goals...
England need to play some proper teams so that the likes of Crouch get dropped and England can start playing better Football with Rooney and Walcott (or someone) instead of shitty hoof it in the air to Crouch style play, that shit doesn't work against proper teams for fuck sake, one big reason as to why we didn't qualify for Europe, that
Edit: Beattie for England

What I learned from FIFA:
A) Soccer is a bunch of acting babies crying about injuries and faking penalties.
B) Referees are too fucking incompetent to know the difference.
C) As in horse racing, arabs will own soccer soon.

So.... enough soccer for me. I gave it a try.

Azerbaidzhan - Finland starting soon. Need to win this with big numbers to have hopes on being one of the best no.2 teams to qualify some more. If nothing else to get to a higher team basket in the '12 Euro cup qualifiers.
90min.
Goddamn we had to do it the hard way again. 1-0 in the beginning of the second half and then we lost two guys to top that. Good thing we got the pressure more up and got those two important goals towards the end. I'm relieved.

Great, we got our asses kicked 5-0 by Spain. As if we didn't see that one coming.
5-1 vs Croatia. Even better

3:0 vs Poland. Not bad
lol croats
To be fair for a country with such a small population they are still a good team. England are finally showing their worth though, Cap's got all the players doing the right things

Fired’ Coach Leo Beenhakker Slams Polish FA

Experienced Dutch manager Leo Beenhakker was seemingly sacked as Poland's national team coach after their 3-0 World Cup qualifying defeat against Slovenia on Wednesday, and he is evidently unhappy with the situation.
"I have seen some crazy stuff during my long career, but the Polish FA have outdone everything I have seen so far. We never stood a chance against Slovenia and deserved the loss," Beenhakker told Dutch football magazine Voetbal International.
"However, things went crazy after the final whistle. I was giving an interview to a TV station and Grzegorz Lato, president of the Polish FA, announced my departure to another TV station three meters to the right. He did not even speak to me before his announcement.
"He came up to me a couple of hours later and he had clearly had too much alcohol. He apologised for what he had said on TV and invited me the next morning for a meeting in his office to discuss what will happen next.
"Apparently, he does not even have the ability to fire me without speaking to the rest of the board of the Polish FA. It now turns out that I am not sacked after all.
"Nevertheless, I am not coming back for the final two matches. I feel sorry for the players, as they are all fantastic people, but the people surrounding the national team are a bunch of amateurs."

In other footie news. Ajax is raping NAC in the dutch league. 6-0 with 63min played. NAC is playing like a handicap junior team.

If Yugoslavians didn't stop killing each other every 5 seconds maybe you would've won also, They would've had a kick arse team right now when you think about it, all the stars from Croatia and Serbia mainly but some of the other former Yugo teams aren't that bad either!blademaster wrote:

And also a UK team would be so much better than individual England/Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland teams. Giggs alone is worth the argument for having a UK national football team!

Interesting concept but I don't think anyone would want it set like that. Its just not the same feeling for example if I would to play for Yugoslavia instead of Slovenia. Also I believe English and Scots had a couple massacres in their history too...Mekstizzle wrote:

Giggs retired a couple of years ago from Internationals, but yes, he would've played more games than Beckham if there was a UK team.Mekstizzle wrote:
