Where the match is playing?
Damn i remember Trinidad games on WC in Germany,they were so unpleasant team to play against,so fast running players and so dangerous when they get the ball

Trinidad.

Does this really deserve a thread?? Beckham is captain for God's sake. He clapped his hands at kick off to pretend he gives a fvck.
He's probably looking forward to a meal with Tom Cruise during the week.

Is beckham one of the most ridiculous 'footballers' in recent history????

1-0 England Barry

Defoe should have put away Beckhams cross early on too.

Pointless Beckham bashing went out of fashion about 8 years ago.

Jesus we're getting free football at half 10 on a Sunday night and some people just want to moan.

wow......

I'd kill for half of his success as a footballer....but nevermind eh.

estebancambias

I'm liking watching the match. But OPENROAD said on this forum he doesn't care for Int. football and in particular Euro 2008 but then he makes a thread about an England friendly. Its just a bit of banter really.

Oh OPENROAD, Walcott will be out for the season, he slipped on a bar of soap in the bathroom this morning.

delija_sever029

Dammit i wanted to write that Trinidad is acctually good and they already got 2 goals,sheesh,better be quiet delija:D

estebancambias

This match is completely pointless for England. Wouldn't they be better off playing a team like Bulgaria away or something?

Not that I care, but going around the world to play a sub par team seems not to make much sense.

Ah c'mon, compare his footballing success to the hype he gets compared to other players. But yes, i accept the Beckham bashing is old hat and i hold my hand up to it. I just can't help it. But this match is only taking place to win over Jack Warner so England can get the World Cup.....and yet, the previous mail is in my head about free football on a Sunday night. You're right, fvck it.

And I don't, I still watch it and as I said as soon on the other thread as soon as Euro 08 starts I'll watch it.

lol....football's a bitch eh?

As for Beckham, yes he is massively overhyped by many.
But he also gets the flip side of the coin and takes the flak for everything that doesnt go England's way...so i suppose it evens itself out to an extent.

Vokes

Not watching the game but that midfield looks very nicely balanced on paper with the 2 left-footers. It's working out well then, i guess?

estebancambias

Its really a nothing match. The passing from England is not that good, and T&T have come into the game.

delija_sever029

Maybe they let England lead before they officially start playing and destroying them:D

estebancambias

I think you might be on to something..

Pigman II

England should play in red all the time. They just look more imposing in that colour. They even won the world cup once playing in that colour. Can't remember what year it was tho.

delija_sever029

1966.?

Lol....you can tell someone in here doesn't live within a stones throw of the empire.:D

Bounty Hunter

am I the only one who is still not that convince by Dean Ashton? he was supposed to be Englands next Shearer, atleast next CF/no.9 of that traditional mould and did look very promising. But two years have passed since he moved to West Ham and although he missed many games due to injury I really dont see what he has done since arriving at Upton Park to merrit him always being linked to bigger clubs etc. If we were to go by stats he's got 13 goals in 42 games at West Ham, which isnt bad at all but isnt stellar either. now im not saying I wouldent like Deano at Villa park but I just dont see what e has done in his time in the Premier league with West Ham to justify th fact that he is always linked to other clubs.

aww that was a nice lil rant.... also Lampard should only ever be a sub for England IMO

Sweet Jesus, Hansen and Dixon are wearing the exact same shirts

Shearer's is shinier anyway, what with him stil lbeing young and hip.

DSB

I'm sure Capello is a good coach and tactician, but his decision to continually ignore Ashley Young while favouring the likes of Bentley, Downing, Lennon and Beckham is a bit of a joke. Hes alot better than all of them.

Pigman II

Dixons at home wearing the same colour pyjamas.

+1

obviously this is two Villa fans saying this but I couldent agree with you more DSB, Young was in 90% of the Premiership teams of the year but cant get near Capello England I mean WTF?!? he is twice the player Downing or Lennon is, and id prefer him to Becks at villa despite his slightly worse marketing potential

I agree with that. Ashley Young is the only highly rated out of the wingers England rate that I rate.

Tends to happen when you cant get inside the opposition box all season and have to resort to long range shooting.


Jones done his knee ligaments. Not good.


Hope he does bring Warnock on.I'd like to see him get a few caps. Always liked him. Tough tackling, no nonsense defender.

monkey9

Ashley Young is pure quality!!

Guy:Incognito

We want 4, we want 4.

estebancambias

Woooooooooooooo!!!!

Bounty Hunter

3-0 defoes 2nd

and Yes Young is Quality, maybe MON asked capello not to play him so that one of the big four dont suddenly realise hes great and bid for him

estebancambias

He'd only get in Liverpools team.

His physical attributes and crossing are what is great about him, he doesn't seem tricky like our Aiden.

Bounty Hunter

who's captain now Becks is gone? Ferdinand, Gerrard, Barry

Bounty Hunter

wahey here comes Ashley!

Guy:Incognito

Jesus christ Defoe that thing opposite your right leg is another leg you know.

Wouldnt mind if he hadnt already scored with his left tonight.

OPENROAD

Young about to come on.
