I wrote that message before the Cyprus game!
And we were robbed, just like we were against Italy last year

"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
I know, that's why I titled my post "time paradox"
Doh!
England only need a draw tonight to qualify and they're winning. I think you can stick a fork in their qualifying campaign, as it's pretty much done =P

ff3-25small.jpgff3-23small.jpgff3-24small.jpgI am so glad that Capello does not listen to the media. "Noooo drop Heskey he doesn't score!" Capello doesn't give a . He has a system, and Heskey fits into that system. I also get the impression that if he were to drop him it would be for Crouch or C. Cole, not Jermain Defoe. And rightly so. It's this listening to the media and not having a fixed system that has smurfed England over so heavily in the past.
That, and playing crappy 'hoof the ball' football a lot of the time
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
It worked for Wimbledon.
hahahahah Slaven Billic smurf you. I'm not going to make myself popular with Heath but the man is just like David Moyes. A gobby little tit who thinks he's hot just because he's had a few good results. He even looks like him.
Hopefully we don't have the chest-thumping Three Lions are favourites attitude for this World Cup, and instead try to be like '98 Croatia or '02 Turkey, a quietly efficient European team that gets results.
Billic doesn't have time to train his players because he spends all his time driving his CUZAN across town to strip bars, then drives him all the way back pretending he had fun.
Oh wait no I got my names mixed up
there was a picture here
I love Bilic though. He was a player for my beloved Karlsruher SC (German club, got relegated last season grrrr), and was one of the key players when we beat Valencia 7-0 in the uefa cup back in like, ehhh, 93, when Valencia was at the top of the spanish league.
Granted I was only like 6 years old back then but it was still awesome
You can watch him shoot the last goal here
YouTube - Karlsruhe SC Valencia CF - 7-0
Most of you are going: "WTF is this team he's going on about. I dont give a smurf" and fair enough to that. I think its worth watching anyway just for the sheer pleasure of seeing a spanish side demoralised like that

Paraguay also qualify for the World Cup after beating Argentina last night. That leaves Argentina in a precarious position before the final two games next month. It's going to be interesting to see if they and/or Portugal make it. France are looking at having to go through a playoff too. But the real glamour tie next month is Bahrain v New Zealand - one of these teams will be at the World Cup. Never thought I'd type that sentence
Back to the domestic action, and a trip to Man City
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Weren't New Zealand in some World Cup in the 70's or 80's or something?
1982, Group 6.
Scotland 5 - 2 New Zealand
USSR 3 - 0 New Zealand
Brazil 4 - 0 New Zealand
Go the All Whites?
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Though those two goals they got against Scotland did contribute to Scotland going out in the First Round yet again, so they did make a contribution XD - plus at least they didn't lose a game 10-1 in that World Cup like poor El Salvador did.

ildm Also it's totally an unfair comparison. David Moyes hasn't spent about two years on our injury table like Billic did. Also, in fairness, I think Moyes has got more than "a few good results." Not going to argue the appearance comparison though.
I thought it was a good performance by England last night and I was disappointed by the Croatian display. It's certainly nice to have seen Gerrard and Lampard play so well together in the same squad and - if that can continue - I think we'll be a force to be reckoned with at the World Cup. Do I think we can win? Yes. Do I think we will? No. I think we'll probably get to the semis depending on the draws we get.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
I'll give you a free "Insult Rafa Benitez" coupon if you like. I agree with your views on England entirely.
