jimmy two times Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 They keep referring to that bunch of pillocks, aka the England squad, as the 'Golden generation'. Golden shower more like.

matthew123 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Apparently it was former FA chief executive Adam Crozier who labelled the England team the golden generation - but that was 9 years ago!

jimmy two times Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 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.

Jah Lush Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Technically speaking you're probably spot on with your tactics there Jimmy but I think this Brazil side will take some beating. I'm not really looking any further than seeing them lift the World Cup again.

jimmy two times Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 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.

mockney piers Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 interesting interactive graphic, showing what countries squads' players actually play in over the last world cup and how pretty much everything changed after the talent market that was the 94 world cup.

???? Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Today's dogshite rumour....but you never know ;-)Today's rumour: Courts held a further 2 week gagging order on steve gerrards private life, turns out he got his wife's sister pregnant (not a 16 year old ) Will hit the newspaper in 14 days, the judge held the gagging order to protect FA while they decide on capello, and the future of English footy.. John terry and the england boys all know about it and JT had a argument with capello because gerrard got to keep the captains armband. the tension in the camp was down to JT and half the team saying gerrard was a disgrace and the other half of the squad backing gerrard..The press conference was related to the tension and JT wanted Gerrard exposed - they hate each other..

mockney piers Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 looking at t'interweb it's like a brush fire of unsubstantiated rumour, cross pollenation and chinese whispers to mix loads of metaphors.Surely rather than repeating this crap we should agree on an even sillier one and start putting it 'out there' and see how far it goes. Like a lazy computer virus, or more like one of those emails that says email me to your ten nest friends or your head will disappear up your own arsehole or something.Any thoughts?Ashley Cole ate a hamster from out of Richard Gere's bottom perhaps whilst proclaiming he hates people, especially poor people?

kpc Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Until now, I had never realised that fighting was a problem amongst gerbils. If I were a gerbil and somehow involved in a menage a trois with Ash and Richard, I would put up maximum resistance.

matthew123 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I got that Gerrard rumour other day and as someone already said no sister exists ... but hey no one is interested in a west ham player escaping prison for allegedly headbutting his pregnant sisterBased on how Rooney played during WC with his mind seeming to be elsewhere, and booking a holiday 2 days before Germany match, almost in tears on return to Heathrow, I think there maybe a Rooney story that is about to be exploded in the next few days!
