Calm down lads .. nothing like footie, especially at international level to bring out all the testerterone ! No wonder D.V rates go up when matches don't go the right way. Everyone is entitled to an opinion ,even us girlies who love football , so lets keep it nice & friendly and support our boys.
Are you feeling the love yet:wub: |
Re: World Cup
Brazil? Really...did you watch them play? :confused: Germany have looked very convincing to me despite what the bookies had to say going into this.

How about this for the team against Algeria?
Hart - GK Johnson - RB Terry - CB Dawson - CB - he's the fastest we've got Cole, A - LB Barry - DMFD - hope he isn't injured still Lampard - AMFD Cole, J - LM - played there with success in the last WC - and if it doesn't work...swap him with Gerrad Lennon, RM - better than SWP Gerrad - CF - just behind Rooney Rooney - Str Th change I'd make to above would be to play two strikers, either Defoe or Crouch, probably for Lennon or Lampard (I've still to be convinced Gerrard & Lampard can shine in the same team). I'd agree starting with Joe Cole. |

pity for him - remember Paul Cooper - Ipswich Town's keeper, under 6 foot and the smallest in Div 1 at the time - he was from Brierley Hill, just down the road from where I was brought up in Dudley. He did pretty well for them in the 70s. Won FA cups and UEFA cup.
one of my team mates got the shove from the Bhoys at 17 as a keeper and never kicked a ball in anger for 10 years. |

For me that's too young for the kids to be pressured into performing and parents to see all those pound signs. I coach 8, 9, and 10 year olds and some of them will not amount to much at all but they love playing and want to develop. For me they are in almost a better position than the rep kids some of whom are being ordered around by coaches and parents. Having said that our kids results this season may reflect a slightly laid back attitude from the coach. But for me getting the basics of controlling the ball, shielding it (holding onto it) and findind space/a pass is what I need to concentrate on and let the game teach them the rest, once they can be confident receiving and playing the ball :) |

Re: World cup reporting in NZ?
Typical of NZ attitude to the world's biggest sporting event, this afternoon's sport news on the sports radio lead with US basketball!! The world cup was 3rd item on.

Shold be a good game 2nite. Holland always flatter to deceive but can play wonderful football and Denmark have nothing to lose :)
there must be something going on with the keepers.........maybe the pressure on the teams is so great that they are playing very cautiously and the keepers are thinking "too much" about their basics..... or is it the ball and air/ground conditions? I know our new Lotto balls for the men's team don't half move in the air and it makes heading more of an art. Once the price comes down I'll get a WC 2010 match ball to add to my Euro 2008 and CL 2009 Adidas match balls (saddo that I am!). Which are completely different BTW, the outer of the first ball is rough/dimpled and the other one is smooth. Weird. :unsure: The dimpled one holds up in the wet and the smooth one flies off the wet grass.....:( |
Re: Meat Pie Sausage Roll Come On England Give Us A Goal
Rumour has it that the German team had access to the new WC balls for most of last season. If that is true then :sneaky:
Colandros: Back in proper football I remember a Leeds vs Liverpool match where Billy Bremner and Tommy Smith didn't even make it out of the tunnel before one had a balck eye and the other a bloody nose ....ah happy days... Now in those days I'd have had half a British team being non English.... Bremner, Lorrimer, Giles (OK he was ROI), Gary Sprake (he won't have let that Green goal in!), Eddie Grey, Terry Yorath |
