Ultra Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 You don't have to be the best team to win a cup competition. Indeed. Italy in 2006 was a classic example.
shen Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 Germany will win it, mark my words They do have impressive youth sides... They're the only nation to hold the U17, U19 and U21 European titles at the same time. But their senior side does have a few glaring weaknesses...
The Doctor Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 They do have impressive youth sides... They're the only nation to hold the U17, U19 and U21 European titles at the same time. But their senior side does have a few glaring weaknesses... despite that they have finished 2nd and 3rd in the last two world cups and i reckon they could do just as well if not better next year.
Radovan's Caravan Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 Noway are there 6 or 7 teams better than us. Spain and Brazil are the only two teams that I think are better than us, if both teams were playing their best football. The spivs in Soho Square must cream themselves over suckers like you. Have I missed something or has that mercenary manager of yours asked Blather to keep schtum about his brand new national XI? Camouflaged in green jumpsuits to avoid detection by spy satellite FIFA's third ranked team are put through their paces If that is the case maybe it's not before time. All those ageing players who could never make it past a QF in their pomp. The same ones that sneaky Sven nearly left in the lurch (the Sun's Chelsea set-up) when he realised 'they weren't good enough' (HIS words). Must say though I am a bit miffed about Capello's cover story. A bit egotistical in my book to hint that he could reverse entropy via a few coaching sessions on Skype. Outrageous certainly, but did Fabio fire Lampard & co through the Hadron Collider to get their lofty FIFA ranking?

Ultra Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 What part of "seven successive competitive wins" do you not understand? If English players are supposedly so inept, why are so many of the world's top managers (Mourinho, Scolari, Hiddink etc) so keen to work with them?

It's a bit rich calling Chelsea's players 'English'. Terry, Lampard and Cole... But the real reason is $$$£££ obviously. A huge salary and bagfuls of money to spend on whoever they want...
StanSP Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 Why does Radvoan always post pictures with crappy, unfunny captions with them? is is some Serbian thing he hasn't told us about?

Hmm...let me guess: You don't their 'professional interest' had anything to do wth this do you?
Ultra Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 The point is if they were really as inept as you claim, those managers would have bombed them out years ago.
Radovan's Caravan Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 You Serb's seriously have some screw's loose. Moron. It's 'Serbs' and 'screws' plural not possessive you remedial twerp. Note to Shen: I am not familiar with Nguni
StanSP Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 It's 'Serbs' and 'screws' plural not possessive you remedial twerp.Note to Shen: I am not familiar with Nguni You forgot the full stop on your second sentence.
shen Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 It's 'Serbs' and 'screws' plural not possessive you remedial twerp.Note to Shen: I am not familiar with Nguni Then it's probably wise to just refer to their team as the 'South Africans' or 'South African national team'
Radovan's Caravan Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 The point is if they were really as inept as you claim, those managers would have bombed them out years ago. Fair point. But something funny starts to happen when you have more than than three or four of them together at any one time. Some mysterious gravitational force seems to draw them inexorably to the bottom of the league table. When you have eleven of them together and they put on England shirts truly awful things happen that cannot be described even after the watershed.
Radovan's Caravan Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 Then it's probably wise to just refer to their team as the 'South Africans' or 'South African national team' Or even 'The Boys, The Boys'.
Edmund Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 Oh god not this again. Thought we heard the last of your crap in the confederations cup thread.

Like the 4-1 win in Zagreb last season? What would your mob give for a result and performance like that?
Radovan's Caravan Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 Oh god not this again. Thought we heard the last of your crap in the confederations cup thread. So why follow and engage me on this thread you stupid cyber stalker? Don't worry, I won't be around for long. I promise I'll pack up when you win that piss easy doddle World Cup thing.
Guest Bilo Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 Like the 4-1 win in Zagreb last season? What would your mob give for a result and performance like that? Exactly. There isn't a team in Europe that wouldn't have taken pride in such a result, especially given the form of Croatia at the time.
Radovan's Caravan Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 Like the 4-1 win in Zagreb last season? What would your mob give for a result and performance like that? Almost as much as your lot would give for a result and performance here:
Guest Bilo Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 Almost as much as your lot would give for a result and performance here: The Image Hosted by Tripod Stadium is a particular bogey ground for us I must admit.
Radovan's Caravan Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 The Image Hosted by Tripod Stadium is a particular bogey ground for us I must admit. I think it's the little green men that play there that are the real problem Mr Bilo.
Guest Bilo Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 Joking aside, every national team has it's shockers. Italy lost to Slovenia in qualifying for the 2006 World Cup, France drew with Cyprus at home and Portugal drew with Liechtenstein. Italy won the tournament, France were their defeated opponents in the final and Portugal made it to the semi-finals. One poor result does not indicate a poor side. It would also be worth noting that the debacle in Belfast was the ONLY qualifying defeat England suffered under Eriksson's tenure. I think the words 'bad day at the office' can be applied to that particular day, especially when you consider that Northern Irish players have been trained predominantly in the 'technically deficient' English game.
Corky Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 I think it's the little green men that play there that are the real problem Mr Bilo. And they are affecting us so much in this campaign aren't they?
Edmund Posted 2 July 2009 Posted 2 July 2009 So why follow and engage me on this thread you stupid cyber stalker?Don't worry, I won't be around for long. I promise I'll pack up when you win that piss easy doddle World Cup thing. Cyber stalker Its impossible to avoid your drivel. I couldn't give a shite how long your around nor have I mentioned that England will win the world cup "piss easy" as you put it. It's just every thread which is cup competition related seems to be littered with your crap. Why don't you do one. You contribute nothing to this place apart from the willy puller's cramp people get from scrolling through your monotonous posts. Shrenchel speaks for all of us.
