Your missing the point, at cricket you play as part of a combined West Indian team, therefore you shouldn't be allowed your own football team, or at the very least your best players should be allowed to be farmed off to play for Jamaica....
Wales position as national football team should be under question. Since they first started qualifying for WC in 1950, they have only qualified once & thats since over 50 years ago.
Trinidad although not great are one of the best/better teams in concacaf still right?. Joke concacaf nations like a Guyana & Suriname etc like with Wales in Uefa shouldn't have "official status" - but rather be an associate FIFA/Concacaf member until they really improve.
On my count for 60 odd minutes Walcott was on, Arsenal only attacked down the right about 4 times. The majority of the time they where attacking down the left with Nasri.
Where did i say automatically?. We aint talking about 10 years here, they have a horrible 50 year record of qualifying for both WC & EURO. WC & EURO qualfiers are the only times the weaker/ football teams have an oppurtunity to prove improvement, if they aren't showing obvious signs of improvement in them & qualifying instead of being predominately a side where stronger teams generally score easy goals againts. That team definately shouldn't have official international status & should become an "associate" memember.
Congratulations.
Should probably revoke Egypt's national status then, given that they've only qualified for two World Cups since 1930.
Ha. I dont want your congrats. You also need to get rid of Song & Diaby a some proper defensive mid-fielders. But then again given how Melo snubbed Arsenal down the other day, its worrying that players worldwide aren't feeling the gunners like before.
Song is doing a fine job at the moment, he has easily been one of the team's better performers all season, and today (for once) the game was not lost due to a deficient midfield.
Walcott's not much use, but Bendtner was beyond bad today. I'm pretty sure Wenger just brought him on for some comic relief.
I don't rate him as a player at all, at least by starting Bendtner today Arsenal would have actually had someone to aim their useless crosses at, it seems they still haven't learnt the lesson that their miniscule front line will not be a pair of world class centre backs in the air. Furthermore Bentdner at least can throw his weight about a bit, not that he's particularly effective at doing so, but at least it would add some sort of variation to the attacking play. He was pretty crap once he came on, but at the same time Arsenal looked better as a team once he did.
Bendtner's not getting on the end of any crosses. His movement is an embarrassment.
Yeah would rater see one of Bendtner/Walcott or maybe even Eboue on the pitch.
He did win the ball in the air a few times today tbf, not that any good came of it, but that's still preferrable to lumping it over in Arshavin's direction so he can challenge John Terry for it.
Egypt situation is clearly different from Wales. They clearly are one of the best/if not the best African teams who improve all time (especially in the 2000s era)
The attack was too one dimensional today as well tbh, you would have thought after the strategy of trying to pass it in triangles and quick one twos into the net had failed so comprehensively last time round they might have thought to try something else, other than the stupid crossing tactic, which for the life of me I cannot work out.
