KillaQueen you make some good points, but I've heard all this talk about changes at grass roots level before after every tournament failure. I actually think there are a lot of good youth coaches about, but the mentality in this country does not encourage possession football. I have coached for years at youth level and the amount of parents and spectators who will try to hurry the young players into kicking balls long up the park tells you all you need to know. Anything you may have been coaching the kids about passing and movement goes out of the window when they panic under this pressure. I think all parents should be banned from watching their kids play unless they keep their mouths firmly shut. Having said all that Germany's first goal was route one so it does work at times.

Christ I bet the Old Bill love filling out the paperwork on that crime of the century.

WOW Tina Turner! What a fox she was when she was young. ;-)(tu)

They may be a pest but It's very difficult to get rid of Parakeets because they won't Budgie.

Jump to the Beat - Stacey Lattislaw

Candj that story would bring a tear to a glass eye. I'm always rescuing animals in distress. They usually die on me, but my intentions are good and grilled sparrow done on the George Foreman is suprisingly tasty. Especially with a bit of Reggae Reggae sauce.

Yes I don't suppose a middle aged,middle class white bloke saying he's in the 'Peel Dem Crew' to a group of muggers would work really. Might give them a good laugh though.

Doesn't everybody boil their pants in a kettle? I usually dry mine afterwards in my George Foreman grill.

The Gambino's. That one usually works, though admittedly only if you are getting mugged in Brooklyn.

What we really need is to replace Capello with a progressive young English coach who has had some success domestically and abroad......Steve McLaren anyone?

This thread has all gone t1ts up for you I'm afraid Keef.

I think estate agents get a bad press. Let's face it...there are worse people out there. Paedophiles, traffic wardens, cyclists.....England footballers.

I can't apply the cast but I'm always up for getting plastered.

I've heard if you get attacked by one of these dogs the best thing to do once it clamps it's jaws round you is to stick your fingers in it's eyes. I have also heard that if you grab it's hind legs it will also release it's grip. A bit tricky if it's got one of your appendages in it's mouth I grant you. Those same techniques work on the owners as well.

Southwark noise patrol get a lot of funding for doing very little. I think it's a racket.

I agree Jah they are impressive. I think on the day any team can have a chance and Holland are a good side with technically very good players but everything will really have to click for them on the day and also it's very much up to the manager what kind of attitude and gameplan he instills in the players on the day. Personally I would think the best approach would be a get at them approach not showing them too much respect. Obviously this will leave them open to counter attacks but it's a gameplan that is probably worth adopting. My only concern is that up to now the Dutch manager seems very much the cautious type.

I think Holland have got a chance against Brazil if they can play in behind the Brazil fullbacks. Both love to get forward and do it well, but they inevitably leave gaps behind them. Usually this is covered by one of the centre halves moving across and then one of the 2 holding midfielders will drop in deep to cover the absent centre half. However, this will then leave a gap centrally and this gives room for Schneider to operate. I would be encouraging Schneider and De Jong to play diagonal balls from centre mid towards corner flags and turning the full backs so that they are always on the back foot, particularly onto Brazil's left back who is the weaker of the two and this will also allow Robben to get at him.

They keep referring to that bunch of pillocks, aka the England squad, as the 'Golden generation'. Golden shower more like.

And I thought it was only the German squad that was full of Fockers and Kuntz.
