Sean Dyche: Burnley manager signs new contract at Turf Moor.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has signed a new contract as the club prepare to return to the Premier League.
Dyche, 42, has been Clarets boss since October 2012, and led the club to automatic promotion last season.
The club did not reveal the length of the former Watford manager's new deal, but said his backroom team had also been given improved contracts.
Co-chairmen John Banaszkiewicz and Mike Garlick said they were "very pleased" the deals had been agreed.
Since his appointment, Dyche has spent a transfer fee on only one player - striker Ashley Barnes.
Burnley will start the new season with a home game against Chelsea on the weekend of 16 August.

..And the good news continues.

Holland

Argentina.

Netherlands

Who are they ?...

I`ll say Belgium I had a bet at 25/1 some months ago

I'll go with Football being the winner. :)

Will Suarez manage to 'create a penalty' for his team tonight?

Don't know, but he is chomping at the bit. :o

Only one or two games:

Brazil and Argentina have failed to impress. Chile have skill and work, but enough? Spain should've scored a couple against them and Australia did. Belgium and Switzerland have disappointed. Netherlands have had one half v Spain - dodgy v Australia. France and Germany look good - but again it is one game. Italy are Italy - get the job done. Japan have skill but were outmuscled. Croatia - good players, starting to move, but their mental strength? And England - will Hodgson continue to let the midfield be overrun? So at the moment France, Germany, Italy, and Chile.

Cheers,

Q. If England get chucked out tonight will Thomas Cook Group TCG go up?

No need to stay in and watch WC so punters can go on holiday.

Oh ye of little faith E/L -):

Chris Carson, just 3 hours and 25 minutes to go before D Day.........destiny day.

We have to win. We need to win ..........or its the end of International football for England.

We will be relegated to no hopers like (with all due respect)Scotland Ireland Wales etc etc.

No longer when we go to Benidorm with our England T shirts on will we get respect, those day will be lost. This is the last chance hotel, the end of the pier, the bottom of the bottle.

I dont want you getting worked up like you did the other night......... keep calm, keep calm, keep calm.

3-1

Who to??????

The winner. England of course :O)

Well if the FA wanted England to win, they should have thought a bit more before appointing a tactically inept carpet salesman as their manager.

Calm down calm down calm down hilary.

Its this build up to the match, it gets to us all.

2 hours 50 minutes to kick off time now.

ps, its now or never for Rooney tonight.

I couldn't care less whether England go out tonight or not, Fishfinger. International football is dull and boring imo.
