Engerland v Jamaica

[Mr JP Fugley]

So scoring goals, you chaps aren't interested in that. Looking good, that's more important.

Not at all, but when has Crouch ever scored when it mattered?

Bandwagonning cliches and drivel

How often has he played for Engerland in a game that mattered?

As far as I am aware and I could be wrong, he has played 7 times for Engerland and scored 5 goals. If you want to say that they were in meaningless friendlies then we'll adjust the statstics for Owen, Shearer etc as well.

How many people have scored a hat trick for Engerland, in a friendly or otherwise?

Fuck sake, give the guy a chance before you say he's rubbish in real competitive matches.

I turned the game on @ 5-0 and thought wow . Who is Peter Crouch I thought ,
I had never heard of him till the Robot dance . Gee mabye he should be a starter .

Hopefully Sven will have the team all practicing their penalties.

In fact, it's a shame we're not more like American Football where they have a person whose job it is to come on and take penalties and that's all they do. We could have taken some old knacker like Shearer or Sheringham who can actually take a spot kick well.

Why not have the goalies do it , they more than anyone have a better perspective on the play .

I've never understood that logic. How does a goalkeeper have a better perspective on penalties than everyone else?

I absolutely agree. If they could play football they wouldn't be in goal. Fact.

I'v seen it before my sons team does it but he's not just a goalie , have seen in the world cup aswell can't remember the team tho . South American mabye Mexico ?

Yeah, once in a blue moon. However that hardly constitutes good reason to make it common tactical practice at International level, the pinnacle of the sport.

With all due respect to the goal keeper in your son's team

[DorisInsinuate]

Probably thinking of José Luis Chilavert of Paraguay. He was fecking ace at free kicks, and therefore also quite good at penalties, not that penalties are hard, you just ding it in to the corner.

Point taken JP , I was thinking more about Cheese's comment and NA. football ..

Two different sports and a lot different roles in both , in fact a football kicker is not really considered an athlete in North America if you can believe it .

Ignore him, he's a cawk. He supports Sunderland, who have never won anything. Fact.
