Russia is playing too against Luxembourg .
England are playing teh shyte. Beckham got sent off, like the way how Lampard has stepped up and has had a few good corners and free kicks.
If it stays 1-0 to England (10minutes left) i'll watch the Czech V Holland match because if Holland win then England will qualify as one of the second best runner ups. Plus the game will rawk, who remembers the game in the group stages of Euro 2004.
we qualified for WC 2006 :01:
2nd half sucked :ermm:
England also qualified :ph34r:
I missed it,I had to cut the grass, winters coming soon.Quote:

At least it should make Wednesday night's game interesting, it will give Lampard, Gerrard and Wright-Phillips the chance to play their natural game roles rather than fit around Becks.
Also having Rooney and Owen up front on Wednesday will be great 'cos Owen looked teh hot today whereas Peter Crouch was just a gangly leggy fuck
:01:
I watched both the Wales/Ireland, and Engerland/Austria matches.
Pure phish, both of 'em.
Did I mention I hate Chelsea. :unsure:
I watched Tunisian and Morocco on the french channel, good but chippy game 2-2 .
Wel, we're through but defending must improve if we're want to make a decent chance of being worldchampions.
Funny how we ensured England and Poland qualifying for the WC.
Anyhow, congrats to the Netherlands, England en Poland.

This year we had a midfielder who played for the first time in the national team @ the age of 35
31 is old ? He's a dam kid ! :D
Quite right.. SWP would be total pants as a central defender. :mellow:Quote:

Tony Adams retired at 36, at the time he was one of the Premiership's best defenders

Think how good he'd have been if he wasn't smacked off his tits all of the time.Quote:

I think 26-29 is a good age for both.Quote:

Keepers it's about 28-34, Petr Cech is only 23 :01:
Dan, have another look at the replay, Becks DID make contact, it was the "delayed reaction" that made it look bad, and yes, it was a dive, no way would that type of contact cause a player to collapse like that.Quote:

bah, everyone knows playing defensive positions are more fun
Attack minded goalkeeper, ftw :01:Quote:

Running lots sucks - I refuse to play in midfield and if they put me on the wing instead of centre-forward, I sulk.
