It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

Argies need to win in 90 mins. Messi magic! If it goes to ET Germany have to be favourites. Come on Argentina.

Nice photo. :-))

I think i want Argentina to win .

I just don't believe this....I've just missed the first half....I was under the impression that the game started at 9pm....I'm sure it said on the BBC website 9pm kick off....grrrrr

Me too jimmy :-)

That's a bit cheeky jimmy b. :-))

seems Argentina are not meant to win, could easily be 3+ up now.

Now you have to guess which girls in the line up take it......................

And Germany win World War 3 the World Cup!

What a scrap in extra time!

Well done Germany.

That goal had Gerd Muller stamped all over it.

The guy must have beeen watching DVDs of the great german bug liner.

(.) (.)

Yeah and if we think back about England!!!!!!!!.

Hadnt taken our coats off before they were coming home.

Rooney was useless as ever. How on earth is he worth £320 grand a week , its pathetic.

How on earth can we be in the top 15 World seeded teams........we cant be.

We must be at least just inside the top 50.

Questions have to be asked and answered. Its just not good enough anymore.

Well done Germany...the Dachshund has scored...bravo...the best team has won....!...

The answer is partly in post #3652 gf, but nobody wants to know.

Don't worry the US open coming soon ,could be another great final ..

More than that its "The Open" this week from Hoylake.

I don't think that English or British football is a sick as we think.....it needs tweaking in the sense that there are quite a few aspects of the game that need attending to.....let's take the example of freekicks...now all we ever see is Gerrard or Rooney stepping back to take it...what happens ?....it goes way over the crossbar as usual....it's the same at every tournament....where has flair and movement got to ?....how about a passing move round the back of the wall....all sorts of variations can be practised on the training ground behing closed doors....it was the same in the so-called Beckham era...(great player...a tad overrated)...it would take five to ten freekicks to get a goal....if not more...too much reliance on one player !...the FA and clubs should look at the possibility of players that are picked on a regular basis clubbing together to spend a day or so sorting out this problem in between international calls, during the week ......the game or British game needs very strong minded players that crave international success so much...they have to want it....I hate it when I see players that have made a mistake during a game : laugh at it because they have got away with it...I want them to be angry with themselves and make a grim face.....if you want to win a trophy : you have to want it like nothing else !....I hope Gerrard carries on as a player for the squad at least for another couple of years anyway....his midfield play will have to improve as well as the rest of the team....I never thought that Sir Bobby Robson's idea (for all his great managerial qualities) was very inspired in retiring Keegan and Brooking early.....that was crazy !....Gerrard can help mature the new generation of players that are emerging in the England camp,....defensively England were not up to it with players looking at each other instead of knowing without looking where the other is....all these matters and many more need looking at....but it's more of a tweaking then a revolution that is necessary in order to bring the England team up to scratch with the better teams of this last wonderful world cup.....best regard all....

Christine .........one for you...........just announced...........
