ENG-ER-LAND, ENG-ER-LAND, ENG-ER-LAND...
2-0 looked... er... adequate. There wasn't anything particularly stellar about that result but nothing particularly terrible about it either.
Meanwhile in down under land, the Australian press is ripping itself to pieces in guessing who the replacement for Holger Osieck will be. Apparently they're under the illusion that Australia isn't a minnow on the world stage.

Italy only played 2-2 vs Armenia :mad: we might not be among the top seeded now :(
Re: I will probably be banned for this but... Footie Thread
Italia tend to do well when they are under-rated and with their backs against the wall rather than being favourites.
1994 and 2006.
Re: I will probably be banned for this but... Footie Thread
Phew. Glad to see us (England) make it, I love a World Cup and despite how well or poorly we will do in Brazil I still want to be there.
I don't understand FIFA at the best of times, but how Colombia and Switzerland are top seeds? Ahead of Netherlands and Italy.

Donks - (and Spain connoisseurs)
Spain has a lot of options in the front.
Who would you choose?
There are many individual options as well as many combinations that are possible.
A lot of talent . . . here is where the coach makes those "succeed or fail miserable" decisions.
That Álvaro Negredo really wants it.
I'm not sure who to choose (and what do I know!)
Re: I will probably be banned for this but... Footie Thread
Negredo is in good form and Soldado is another good option.
Torres is past it and Villa seems to be injured too often. But he still will go to the WCup.
For me if they play 3 upfront it should be - Silva/Mata, Pedro/Navas and Negredo/Soldado
this is a crucial week...Barca v Milan (Arsenal v Dortmund also looks appealing this time) and then the clasico next saturday!
Time for Neymar to stand up and be counted (he's been playing well enough, time to score a few too)

This explains why teams from Central / South Italy do so well ;) :p:

Diego Costa can stay with Brazil if they want him.
