Betting on high scoring games in this world cup looks like the sensible call because of these lightweight and unpredictable footballs they are using. Just about all the main keepers at the tournament have said the ball is really tricky. Thank goodness we have David James in goal (forehead slapping smiley)!
:doh:
Why is it that we need to have a ball in every World Cup that is either too light, too heavy, too big, too small, too slippery or too bally. Why not put the sponsers name on the ball the players are all used too. Every World Cup we have this. Why?
Dodgy ball + high altitudes + loads of poo goalies = some very interesting moments.
I just convinced myself Brazil will win again.
Did anyone else think this was a thread about USA beating England?
No, that thread would have the title "Belo Horizonte, 1950, England 0 USA 1"
That's because they wouldn't let Stanley Mathews play, after sending him off on a separate exhibition tour, the England players couldn't be arsed to go abroad that year saw it on breakfast tv this morning, it was like Rooney going off on a tour now and then turning up in SA knackered, the team in those days was picked by a team of selectors, not the manager, enough excuses?????
a good Chinese menu of excuses, Mr epsomraver. Thanks. :54: Although I think that if you look at England's lineup that day, it was pretty representative of the time.
With your permission, I'll use several of those after we're "three and out" in South Africa. :doh:
