Well you made a big deal about them struggling to beat Peru. Not that it means much.

Ok and what do England and Ukraine have to do with it?....

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Ok and what do England and Ukraine have to do with it?....

Because Like the Argies, England not winning won't harm their chances will it.

[Cripps_orig]

Because Like the Argies, England not winning won't harm their chances will it.

Ukraine are a fa better team than Peru though and youre the one who was laughing at Peru in the first place

Plus i never said it would harm their chances

You've had a shocking day. Get some sleep

[Cripps_orig]

England manager Roy Hodgson wants television companies to stop asking for games between the Premier League's top teams on Sundays before internationals.
Because affected players need time to recover, Hodgson thinks such scheduling limits his amount of preparation time.
Hodgson also called for a winter break, saying it would give the English season a more "logical" schedule.
"It would be lovely to think that one day we could all get together and say 'England is important'," Hodgson said.
Four of England's eight remaining World Cup qualifiers are scheduled to be played on Friday evenings.
Hodgson's training time with his players is already in short supply and he feels it is limited further when his main players are involved in Sunday's fixtures.
He cited the example of Manchester United's recent televised 16:00 BST clash at Southampton, ahead of the World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Ukraine, as unhelpful scheduling.
Speaking in a question-and-answer session, broadcast on the Football Association's website, he added: "It would be nice if, when we're playing on Friday, the top teams played on Saturday and not Sunday. Then on Monday we could do a bit of work, and on Tuesday do some serious work.
"But every time, the top clubs have played on Sunday and some at five o'clock on Sunday. If they're from Manchester and they've played in Southampton, they get back late at night then have to come down again."

Mata left out of spain squad.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla. :bow:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Just found out Ramsey lost the welsh captainsy.

[Cripps_orig]

Wazza is the England captain

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wales vs Scotland is on SS1.
Ireland vs Germany is on SS2.
England vs San Marino is on ITV1, of course.

Think I will stream ITV1 and watch Germany if Poldi and/or Mertesacker or playing. If not, then I'll have Wales vs Scotland on TV.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

From BBC's Sportsday live text update:

Spanish soccer fans might miss the national team's World Cup 2014 qualifier away to Belarus on Friday as no television broadcaster has agreed to pay the price set by rights holders Sportfive to show the match in country.

"It worries me that people in Spain might not be able to see the match and follow their national team and it would leave a bad taste," said Spain coach Vicente del Bosque.

:lol:

Oh dear.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Wales vs Scotland is on SS1.
Ireland vs Germany is on SS2.
England vs San Marino is on ITV1, of course.

Think I will stream ITV1 and watch Germany if Poldi and/or Mertesacker or playing. If not, then I'll have Wales vs Scotland on TV.

Of that lot, the Ireland Germany match is the only one remotely worth watching.

And even then...

Can Trapattoni keep up the Italian hoodoo over Germany?

Probably not.

[Cripps_orig]

I'll watch the England game mainly cos its on ITV and Sky is fucking up here

England will win no doubt but im interested to see if its a boring 3-0 with a few chances as i expect or a 8+ with lots of chances and some decent play

[Marc Overmars]

Sky Sources - England team: Hart, Walker, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines, Carrick, Cleverley, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Rooney (c) & Welbeck

[Syn]

Shows the state of England's team that Oxlade - despite having an unimpressive start to the season - is still an England regular these days. Cleverley too. But aside from those two, it's not a bad line-up. Although anything would do against San Marino.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

great team. the england team should always be that regardless of senior players being injured or not, with the exception of cole coming in for baines.

youth youth youth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I have San Marino down to score one.

Netherlands vs Andorra has just kicked off. :lol:

RVP on the bench. :haha:

Better odds on the Loch Ness monster appearing than San Marino winning?

Reus

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxo whacks a low one, Simoncini Harts it out in to danger.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Ireland have somehow managed to get worse than they were at Euro 2012.

Quite an achievement that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Simoncini. :haha:

That would've been brilliant.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Reus again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ireland 0-2 Germany, Reus again. :bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Ireland are in danger of losing this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbeck. :lol:

[Syn]

Oxlade has the type of quality that can't be taught. I do like that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxo wants his wondergoal!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

30 minutes gone, I think San Marino have earnt at least half a point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pub team touch from Oxo there.

Oxo scuffs his shot this time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

England 2-0 San Marino, HT. :lol:

Most one sided game I've ever seen and we still need a penalty to break the deadlock.

Good finish from Welshit though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Klose heads, wide.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Hows Theo been?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Ireland 1-6 Germany, FT.

Bit of a pumping.

Ireland were screwed by the ref - only 2 minutes injury time? I call BS, there were 7 goals and 6 substitutions! I'm sure there must have been some German timewasting. too.

Robbed by refs again.

[Cripps_orig]

Hows Theo been?

Injured

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hows Theo been?

He got taken out after 10 minutes, went to hospital for a scan. Wouldn't be a surprise if he has cracked ribs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ireland were screwed by the ref - only 2 minutes injury time? I call BS, there were 7 goals and 6 substitutions! I'm sure there must have been some German timewasting. too.

The comeback was well and truly on. Ireland can make them pay later on when they play Germany in Germany though.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Injured


He got taken out after 10 minutes, went to hospital for a scan. Wouldn't be a surprise if he has cracked ribs.

damm could be out for a while, Stan an co must be pissed his transfer value will be going down.

No John, they did not.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carroll. :haha:

England 5-0 San Marino, FT.

[Marc Overmars]

Just the 5 then.

Equivalent of a 1-0 win really.

[Cripps_orig]

5-0 FT

Worst team ive ever seen imo

San Marino werent much better

[Marc Overmars]

Scotland. :lol:

So much for bringing back the 2 Fletchers.

[Cripps_orig]

Belgium are a bit awesome

3-0 win in Serbia tonight

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Could WUMger pull off the ultimate WUM and take a San Marino player in January?

[Cripps_orig]

All games over

[Olivier's xmas twist]

5-0 FT

Worst team ive ever seen imo

San Marino werent much better

Don't worry the sun will tell us how we are worl beaters.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Portugal :haha:

[Master Splinter]

The England game was so bad.

Rooney and Wellshit scored two each, but they were absolutely terrible. They tried more pointless flicks than Ramsey and barely one came off. Oxface was by far the best player in the first half; not one player was on his wavelength. He was almost as bad as Rooney in the second half though. Walker gave perhaps the worst individual performance since Almunia versus West Brom. The fact that he struggled to control basic five-yard passes, couldn't link up with the almost-as-hapless Lenin right in front of him and couldn't cross a ball with the freedom of the right side granted to him almost made we weep at the fact that I was actually watching this match.

At least Theo's inevitable eight-month absence gives an early promotion to Segrio Gnabry.


Ireland :haha:.

Trapper Tony :haha:.

Darby O' Gill :haha:.

Germany with Mertesacker :bow:. Wonder if Low will realise how much better they are with the BFG in the team.

[Cripps_orig]

Was that a Lennon dive just before Rooneys 2nd?

[Cripps_orig]

Colombia 2-0 Paraguay FT

Falcao with both

[Marc Overmars]

Just seen Bale's dive, what a dick. Awesome 2nd goal though.

Scotland had an absolute shocker of a decision go against them though when the balled was judged to have gone out.

Germany looked brilliant. Reus is a must get.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

england :lol:

chambo steals the show with the best goal of the night :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'll watch the first half of Croatia - Wales and the second half of Portugal - NI. I don't have ESPN so I guess it will be Poland - England in-between.

[Syn]

I could do with watching some football tonight.

[LDG]

I'm just not interested at all in the international football anymore. I didn't even remember to look out the score for the last match.

I just don't care. At all.

[Syn]

The England team does seem kind of soulless atm (no homo). I don't care that much that the players are a bunch of twats - but they're not even interesting twats. If they had a bit of character about them, I could still find myself supporting the bad guy. But they're like a bunch of Walcotts. Just sly little shits. If you're going to be a dick be funny, and people will like you.

But it's football. And after cric nets I have nothing to do. So come on England.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

According to SSN: Hart, Johnson, Jagielka, Lescott, Cole, Milner, Gerrard, Carrick, Cleverley, Rooney, Defoe. :lol:

Milner. :haha:

Oh my.

Defo not watching that tonight then!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I can't give it up.

[Marc Overmars]

Coleman has killed him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he's suspended.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Milner is Woy's son.

Milner is to Roy, what Ramsey is to Wenger :coffee:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eduardo is starting for Croatia. :bow:

Sky's programme is on in a minute.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I bet one of the questions will be: Is, like 'Arry said, Bale up there with Ronaldo and Messi?

:haha:

Belgium vs Scotland is also on BBC1 Scotland - 951 on Sky and the BBC website.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1855:
RED CARD - England U21's Danny Rose
1855:

It's all kicking off following that late England goal. Fans are on the pitch and there are fights breaking out.
1854:
GOAL - Serbia U21 0-1 England U21 (agg 0-2) Connor Wickham (94 mins)

As I said, the Serbian goalkeeper was in the England area... which meant there was no-one in the Serbia goal. England break forward, and Thomas Ince tees up Connor Wickham to walk the ball into the unguarded net. Stuart Pearce's men are going to the finals of Euro 2013.


Rose. :doh:

GHELs. :bow:

Also, the England band. :haha:

[Syn]

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Some of those U21 players were racially abused apparently. I'm sure a video of it all kicking off will be up soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rakitic goes for it on the volley, well blocked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great turn from Eduardo, terrible shot.

[Syn]

Some of those U21 players were racially abused apparently. I'm sure a video of it all kicking off will be up soon.

I'd be surprised if they weren't.

Gotta love those Eastern Europeans...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale had a chance to show what he can do according to Parry, promptly kicked it against the opponent. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'd be surprised if they weren't.

Gotta love those Eastern Europeans...

I wonder if it's mentioned by the management to players before the game? I mean in this case, talking about it the England players.

Modric goes down, no pelanty given.

[Cripps_orig]

what exactly happened?

BBC Sport commentator Alistair Bruce-Ball in Serbia:"After England scored their second goal their players went off to celebrate. They have no supporters in the ground so clearly they were going to be celebrating in front of some Serbia fans. Those fans took exception.

"Danny Rose got separated from the group and then he clearly got involved in a slanging match with some spectators. He felt he was being racially abused and there was stuff being thrown at him. Then some of the Serbian players and staff piled in - they didn't like Rose having a go at their fans. Then it turned into a mass brawl.

"England very sensibly tried to get off the pitch as quickly as they could. Danny Rose was actually sent off and as he left the pitch he was mimicking a monkey by sticking his arms underneath his armpits. He was very clearly making the point that it was very clever, this racial abuse.

"We are going to see quite how hard, or not, Uefa come down on this. I have never seen anything quite like that."This
