Out of interest would missing a certain Croatian striker who was born in Brazil make a difference?Yeah, needs must & all that. Green is an absolute stroker, it must be said.
Go Theo!
EDIT: Think the Croatia myth is well & truly exploded too. I said when they beat us last year it was more due to our shortcomings rather than them being any good. If they were, the Kovacs wouldn't still need to be playing in their early 50s.
Very probably. He was arguably the difference between the teams on the last two occasions they played.
Is Kevin Pietersen still South African?Very probably. He was arguably the difference between the teams on the last two occasions they played.
My point is tho that before the game Bilic was suggesting that Croatia were "simply a better team", which is, at best, a very debateable contention &, at worst, hubris. If they are so superior the loss of one player (well, two really as Kranjcar was crocked too) wouldn't make that big a difference.
Saw the full highlights this morning after taping the free-to-air showing on Sultana last night, jeez Simunic is a thug, isn't he? Short of wearing a black cape & twirling his moustache he couldn't be more of a pantomime villan if he tried. Australian too, isn't he?
I'm not saying people shouldn't criticise, just that when their team wins 4-1 away from home against a decent team and their first instinct is to look for thei negatives, they're watching football for the wrong reasons.
Are you sure you're English?
Haha. Do get asked a lot at work if I'm Irish, but that's just because I'm ginger and I work for an Irish hotel chain. Annoys me, TBH. If I asked a black guy "are you Jamaican?" just because he was black, it'd be well out of order, so why is it okay with ginger people?Are you sure you're English?
Without a doubt, and it pisses me off. Impossible to debate football with anyone who comes into work without them thinking they know better than Capello. How many league titles have you won, in how many leagues? None? Oh, yes, that's right, you're not one of the best managers in world football, you're just a ****.
Yea must be quite aggravating that, being ginger.Haha. Do get asked a lot at work if I'm Irish, but that's just because I'm ginger and I work for an Irish hotel chain. Annoys me, TBH. If I asked a black guy "are you Jamaican?" just because he was black, it'd be well out of order, so why is it okay with ginger people?
Yeah, it's horrible. Still, it's a solid six letters on the Scrabble board, so it has its upsides.
Steve McLaren's got to a UEFA cup final, but i know i'm a better manager than he is.Without a doubt, and it pisses me off. Impossible to debate football with anyone who comes into work without them thinking they know better than Capello. How many league titles have you won, in how many leagues? None?

No, you don't. You can say it all you like, but you don't know it.
Where I see your point Rubble, many people in the country harboured the opinion that Steve McDonut was not good enough to be England manager from the word go, and I think you'll be hard to pushed to find anyone who would accuse them of being wrong in holding such an opinion.
Admittedly my decision to use wingbacks in the first round of the 7 a side cup was a mistake due to them never getting goalside to the attackers, but after my halftime changes we dominated the second half.
