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...

Well there's another World Cup disaster I can add to Scotland 77 Scotland 85 and Romania 93.

Your right Stan that Ireland came and parked the bus and first half made no attempt to attack during the first half which surprised everyone as they had to win this more so than Wales.

Ref booked Allen early on then failed to book 3 Irish players for what looked like worse tackles.

Goal was our own fault and after that the Irish spent more time rolling round the floor as though they'd been shot than playing football.

Wales should have gone 3 at the back after 20 minutes once it was obvious Ireland were offering nothing up front. Woodburn should have started and we brought Vokes on too late and should have left Kanu on with him and taken a defender off.

Was disappointed but not surprised we didn't qualify so good luck to Ireland in Russia next year , had a great laugh in town with their fans before the game.

Joe , Wales losing to Ireland ain't half as funny as England losing to Iceland :-)

Yeah!!! well who's laughing now Dil, Wales :0)

Only depressing thing is fecking Coleman hasn't resigned.

We didn't fail to qualify because of last night , we faile to qualify because of Colemans tactics got us 5 draws in our first 6 games. We could and chould have been out of sight before last night.

Tbh Chris with 4 games to go I was resigned to the fact that by last night we would have nothing to play for so was happy that we at least started the game with the possibility of qualifying.

I can honestly say that by the time we were on our way home I really didn't give two monkeys we were out.

Earlier in the day I had announced my retirement from international matches and even if we had won last night I was going to watch the play offs in the pub.

Was hoping to bow out on a high but Coleman made sure I didn't.

Proper football back on Friday , Cardiff away to Brum live on Sky.

There is a lack of mobility in midfield british football....lack of imagination .....how often do you see players : pretend to shoot the ball...then pull it to the right and left and then shoot....hardly ever...and this has be done in seconds...it's also the lack of guile which is letting us down ......what are they taught at soccer school in the uk ?...needs to be reviewed....

Aye Dil, sadly Internationals, or Qualifyers re the home nations seem to be irrelevant and a bloody nuisance, as I'm sure apart from Ronald Koeman would agree. :0)

We've been light years behind Europe in many ways on the sporting scene unfortunately and continue to be so, always playing catch up.

Sadly true Stan, even though England have qualified we all know they don't stand a cat in hell's chance of winning it. Depressing!

As it is quarter finals at the most....unless there is a dramatic play improvement....

Yep, par for the course.

Pity you can't borrow Bale and Ramsey .... or lend us 9 players :-)

Oi Joe ... Iceland have qualified so that's you lot fecked :-)

Bitter Dil, Bitter :0)

Waiting potentially in the wings for England..

Panama, Iran, Saudi Arabia.

:)

You lot seem to be forgetting that Burnley Reserves are only one play-off game away from the finals as well.

Cant forget Burnley. "When Saturday comes".

Stanley sings!
