Nope, I'm just glad Daniel Agger came through it unscathed. 8)

& your stance seems to have been the most popular one judging by the viewing figures :|

one defeat & the critics are all out in force again :? :?
is it really merited after qualifying with a 100% record & 2 games to spare? :? :?
it was a dead rubber for england & after rob green got the red card, a bit of a tall order.
to be fair the players stuck to their task even though most were well under par :|
maybe this game would have been a good time to throw in some of the fringe players? maybe the belarus game?? :cheers:

Hands up all those who would like to see Maradonna`s Argentina kicked out of the world cup by Uruguay. Not that I`m bitter about the "hand of God" incident of course.

It's the same deal that happens over and over again in all sports. A person has a big name and career and for some unknown reason it's assumed they will make a good coach. :roll: More often than not it's the exact opposite in that the lesser known players emerge in later years as great coaches. I guess they had to work harder when playing and had a better mentality about what a 'team' means.

In Maradonna's case you can add in years of drug abuse as a bonus. I'll be happy to see him go down in flames. Pete :cheers:

I thought Argentina qualified last Saturday :? I also thought that was the object of every news programme showing Maradonna sliding on his belly at the final whistle.
Championship Plymouth Argyle 1 - 2 Leeds Utd :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Points 46; Position 23 RELEGATED :cry: :cry:

Nope. That was a must win game but they still need to win tonight or they'll be in the playoff.

I personally hope they qualify, I'd prefer to see the likes of Messi and Mascherano at the tournament than not.

Well,the Argies qualified with a narrow 1-0 victory over Uruguay.
Switzerland and Slovakia also qualified for the Finals.
Peter Crouch scored a couple as England eased past Belarus 3-0.

Personally I think the Irish have got a fair chance against a fading team like France.
Better them than the Ruskies or Portugal but Greece would have been the best draw,admittedly.

The Irish turned out to have had a very good chance against the French, and it all turned on the hand of Henry! That was terrible to see and once again the cries will come out for the technology. It took seconds for French TV to show it in all its clarity, ball going past him and out of play by the far post, out comes his hand to keep it in play, no chance of keeping it in play otherwise, a 4 yard pass to Gallas who headed into an empty net.

End of.

Cheated.
