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...

I'm also having a dabble myself today CD and hope for a continuation of the "not loosing" form.

David Moyes.

His going to need some luck along the way.

David Moyes luck?.. who's your manager then CD 🙂

He is the manager now. My point is that he will require a little bit of good fortune in the first few weeks.

He certainly has to sort the defence out quick from what I saw in the last 30 mins on Sat.

It'll be a bloody miracle if England win against Germany and Brazil with all the injuries !.....what's left of the squad will have to be in tip-top form to get results against two of the strongest teams in the world.....what always amazes me is the ability the Brazilians have to come to Europe and perform without all the fuss that we have if ever the three lions manage to tour south America !....apart from the world cup...when was the last time England went there ?......decades ago I think....John Barnes goal springs to mind at the maracana !.....our problem is the midfield area where there is a big lack of imagination ...creativity....and the ability to get back in defensive mode seconds after losing the ball....anyway.....best of luck England !....

Burnley player called up to the England squad https://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/news/2017/november/cork-rewarded-with-england-call-/

Hope he's better than the one we got in the Welsh squad.

He's got a lot of bottle apparently , I phoned him and his wife said he's just popped out for a minute .

Dil, Sir Sam is good enough for the Pre-madona league so it must be that your national side are not good enough for him 😄

All the England team are good enough for the Premier league but where has that got them the last 50 years ?

Current England team is that bad to watch they might as well pick the whole Burnley team !

Big..big games tonight but too many injuries for us....anyway.....madness : pitching Sweden against Italy...and Eire-Denmark....nuts....when you think that there are minnows that will qualify and Fifa do this.....

Only saw the last 50 mins but for the first time for ages I actually quite enjoyed how England played for once.

On a separate note, I see our reserves are still in with a chance of qualification then Dil 😀

Probably bored the arse off everyone in Denmark by diving and time wasting like they did when they did a job on Wales.

They will bring nothing to the tournament Stan so I'm hoping they lose.

Heard England played well for a change , maybe they should discard some of the first choice team and pick a team that aren't afraid to have a go.

Is Heaton back in training yet ?

No official news but be after Christmas it seems.

Italy being knocked out of the world cup is one of the greatest upsets ever !....it's on a par with Poland pipping England in 1973....perhaps worse as England had a very decent side indeed that year !.....Sweden are a very very difficult side to beat and you have to be at your very best to get the better of them....so sorry for Italy but congratulations to Sweden !.....

I have to mention a big bravo to the England under 17teens ...the under 18teens...under 19teens..the under 20's...and the under 21's...for fantastic results overall this last year or so....quite amazing...the FA must be doing something right for all these England teams to perform so well....

I had a punt on Italy tonight....just can't believe they did not get a goal....Northern Ireland have been a little bit unlucky so I hear....Ireland had better watch out tomorrow night ....anything could happen ...crazy...Fifa pitching these very good sides together...Europe need and deserve more spots at the world cup !....

Hard to believe there will be a world cup without the azzurri.

It is unbelievable ...and a shame .....they play flamboyant football at times... I know I keep on saying this...FiFa need to give Europe more qualifiers...it's all very well giving spots to some of the minnows but the world cup should not be about populations or number of people playing soccer and tv rights...it should be about the best being there....
