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...

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....

I hope Ireland get knocked out to the freakiest of goals , just to see Oniel's face , disgusting tactics , football supposed to entertain .

I'm rooting for Ireland....come on the lads !.....

Well said Victim , I'll be cheering on Denmark. WC finals won't miss a thing if the time wasting diving Irish don't make it.

Italy out - female viewing figures down next year.

Will Denmark solve the ROI hard border problem?

A lot of whispers saying that Coleman will not be staying with Wales and tonight will be his last match in charge.

Happy days , just need Swansea to get rid of Clement and appoint Coleman to preside over the rest of their relegation campaign now.

No changes at Swansea til after Saturday please Dill -):

I hope his first signing for Swansea is that donkey Vokes. Missed a pen and did his usual sweet FA and was substituted half time.

On a positive note three of our youngsters who started had great games and even if they are only 17/18 year olds showed they are ready to step up and replace some of the dead wood that Coleman keeps picking. Would have had a much better chance of beating Ireland and qualifying for the WC with them in the team.

Only saw 10 minutes of England , good to see them giving youngsters like Ashley Young a chance !!!

Well done Denmark , did the football world a favour last night.

He never misses for his 1st team...Oh your so bitter Dil 😀

Brazil looked so good all over the pitch, but credit to England they worked hard and got a draw.

Well done the Danes as well, to win 5-1 away anywhere is impressive.

Yes Dil thank evans football won there , Vokes penalty was poor , and when Ashley Young came on I laughed , is there a bigger waste of space in football .

Henderson.

Ah but just remember those comical/hilarious fake dives Young did , i rest my case .

Doesn't compare to the comedy gold of Hendo's hardman act.

For the attention of Dil https://streamable.com/7gcdx

Yep thats all he does Stan ... little movement and hope that someone can bounce a cross off his head into the net.

He can't even hold the ball up when playing as a lone striker , total waste of time picking him for Wales and his penalty was pathetic.

Your right he is not a lone striker so to play him there is not right, Dyche plays him in a two up for Burnley.
