Thought I'd start a football blog, we might keep this going until 2010.....England doing well....did not see the match or even the goals....I'd like Michael owen back in the squad though....and I think Peter Crouch would make a very good substitute...remember against Argentina in Geneva a few years ago....with Michael Owen and some very good movements on and off the ball...they caused havoc.....did see Scotland's missed chance....that could be very costly losing those 2 points !.

Wait and see

Anyway...anybody got a bet on the Dutch beating the Carioca boys ?.

Until there is a clear out of the knobheads who run the English FA, a mandate giving the England manager a lot more power and support over Premiership managers on the release of players, we might just see some progress. Jamie Carragher World Cup 2006 missed a penalty, his response "At least it wasn't for Liverpool" he should never been allowed to put on England shirt again. Until the Club v Country situation is resolved if it ever can be, then any manager in charge of England will continue to struggle. Tabby might just have the answer?

How will we take this man seriously?

clubam...maradonna is a legend...always has been, always will be.

get over yer stupid hand of god nonsense...what about owen blatantly diving and cheating against them? you english never seem to mention that

Trigforget the handball goalbut let us not forget him taking drugs while playing in Italyblatantly cheating his fitness.let us not forget him being slung out of a World Cup for taking drugsblatantly cheating his fitnessand just to confirm he is a bin caselet us not forget his recent quote.

Let there really be fair play, let the referees understand what the words fair play mean,

Trig you have strange legends.is Hitler one of your legendsnone better with Gas!!!

Hitler could never be a legend he f***** the job up and never paid the gas bill.

This is supposed to be about soccer.....

Wow agreeing with tabby twice in a day !

I think Maradona is a tw*t , a gifted one I grant you but a tw*t all the same.

He needs to lay of the Charley a little

Agreed Dil :o)

Fabio Capello to remain England manager

Fabio Capello is to continue as England manager despite England's disastrous World Cup campaign, the Football Association has confirmed.

What did I say about Holland ?....Brazil out !.......the Dutch must be favourites to get to the final now !.......the Brazilian defense is not as good as it seemed : put them under pressure and... et voila !.....Zidane showed it with France and 4 years on : now have Holland......the Cariocas are wonderful going forward but not at defending when pushed back. You have to say that they badly missed Elano who is to me their best forward.

Grieves me to say it, but that was an impressive display by Germany! Got money on Spain, providing they get through tonight will be a cracking semi!

Yep, ...simple football.....it's heading for a possible Germany-Holland final but the Spanish might have something to say about that.....it could be that if the Germans go behind by a goal that they get caught out by their own style of counter attacking football......I doubt if Paraguay will stop the Spanish tonight ....this could be unique that the south americans don't win the cup this time as it always goes : one win Europe and then them and Europe again, but this time could see the old world winning twice in a row and going one up in the number of wins ....
England will have to learn to pass the ball properly and defend to compete against the main countries.
