***Official*** Road to World Cup 2014

[Furball]

Theo limping off. God I hate internationals.

Its funny how Townsend congratulates players for doing things that they're meant to do, like making a standard clearance, or Joe Hart actually collecting a ball that is placed straight at him. "Well done son, excellent work!"

 

[Furball]

The what now

3 step rule IIRC. Goalkeepers couldn't run all over their penalty area with the ball in hand.

I was thinking this, but I thought I might be a bit harsh the one time he actually did something that wasn't incredibly nervous. Yet indeed it was right at him.

Yeah, I had a mate that just used to shout "steps, Steps, steps", every time the oppo goalie had it, wasn't annoying at all, as you could imagine.

 

[sledger]

Nice to see that England's best attacking move of the match was a long throw into the box.

 

[fredfertang]

Amen

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, I had a mate .

If you're going to make things up then **** off

 

[grecian]

How've England ****ing deserved a point, they didn't have hardly a ****ing attack, after the first 10, ****ing pathetic.

I accept it leaves us in a good position but it's quite depressing to see us go to Ukraine for a point. It's not exactly Rome in 97 is it?!

Haha I think they have to delude themselves into being the most one-eyed fan boys at itv.

 

[Furball]

Yeah, they should have poured forward, left themselves exposed at the back and been thumped.

You're on the plane to Brazil barring a monumental **** up in the last 2 games and you've achieved this despite the handicap of fielding James Milner. Quit moaning.

It's probably better than having to draw at home to Croatia to qualify, and then losing. Probably.

 

[Pothas]

How bad is that Barclays advert?

Yeah it's job done in theory and given the attacking players available its understandable that we set up the way we did. It's more that it's a bit of an indication how good we are, or rather aren't, currently.

Well they could have easily lost this way if the Ukraine had finished, quite frankly I'm guessing you didn't watch it, was horrid.

Anyway Psycho giving it full-barrels, foreigners faults probably.

 

[GIMH]

It's a shocker

 

[MW1304]

The thing is in no way did we deserve to get a point. It isn't like we defended resolutely for 90 minutes, we couldn't string two passes together.

A backs to the wall effort would have at least kept my eyes glued to the screen

I changed the channel at the first opportunity; what did it consist of?
