Honduras qualified? I sincerely did not see them play at all during this tournament.
there are 4 groups of death instead of the usual one eh.
and he received around 100 free tickets. Usually, those tickets are given to family or friends but he gave them to those models. His bosses found out and since it's illegal, they had to fire him.
damned lack of discipline. Ghana, not just Kewell.
He is not worth that much.
but the people playing around him. England as a team is mediocre at best. They can't feed the ball to Rooney and Lampard and Gerrard are neutralizing each other in the middle of the park. Not to forget Carragher who showed us the limits of his abilities. The man can't pass. If Rio ferdinand was fit, England would have much better distribution from the back since he likes to help the midfielders during offensives. Carragher stays stuck at the back. Lennon is not national team material ...
also cost Robbie Earle his job I'd like to point out. He was the one who gave the free tickets.
qualifies like in 2006 and moves to the knockout stage. They play a very fluid passing football but they do lack discipline sometimes.
their best midfield for this tournament. He is the only french player I've seen running around the whole pitch and playing aggressively. Gourcuff can't handle the pressure.
England just can't play football. They have zero style. Fat Frank and Gerrard can't play together.
for that guy was a mistake. Swapping that guy for Fabregas would be even sillier.
is the biggest fraud in the history of football. I can't believe how that guy still gets jobs as the manager of many prestigious teams. He's done nothing, he's won nothing and the teams he coaches usually end up in dire straits.
make a mistake? It was a clear foul in the box before the player kicked the ball into the net. Those fouls are signaled very often. What's so different this time aside from the fact that it's the USA ? I really don't get it.
that was a very surprising result. But what you gonna do with 10 men?
are mostly to blame. They act like prima donas.
passing the ball to him first? He can't defend and score at the same time can he? Especially when he has to cover for the incompetents he plays with.
looks a bit washed out. Must be age and constant injuries catching with him. He's young, but not fit.
not the type of player who gets injured very often. Talent is important, but what good is it if you miss half the matches of the season. Reminds me of another spanish player...that blonde guy who plays for that little team in the North of England.
that Manchester United will triumph.
Remember, he had run ins with previous France managers too and was banned for a while. He is volatile.
