***Official*** Road to World Cup 2014 - Page 5

Not just losing tho, it's how you lost too.

Big stretch to call Croatia one of the best teams in the world too; cod ordinary, IMHO.

Still not a team we have a right to be getting a result against.

Can't argue with complaints about our style but it's endemic in Irish football. You should see some Irish league games, looks like rugby union circa 2003. It's all about the kicking for touch. Changing the manager of the national team would just be an act of deckchair-rearrangement.

Of course, for most fans sacking the manager is the catch-all solution to every problem a football team might have. Meh, another rant for another day.

Sweaties draw 0-0 then.

Uppercut · 08-09-2012, 11:50 AM

Pretty poor result, really. Levein paying the price for being a massive pussy and leaving Fletcher and Rhodes on the bench.

Gibson and McLean shouldn't be playing for the Republic in the first place.

And Levein is a ****ing tube, the sooner the clown gets sacked the better.

What odds do you think I could get on Belgium reaching the QF of the World Cup this far out? I really like their squad.

Somerset · 11-09-2012, 03:55 AM

NZ with a pretty comprehensive 6-1 win against the Solomons Islands tonight, so two wins from two matches is a pretty strong start to our goal of making the World Cup again.

GIMH · 11-09-2012, 01:12 PM

Well that's weak as piss, quality from Defoe as well.

Clive can **** off with his goal that never was that came from an offside position anyway. Useless prick.

Uppercut · 11-09-2012, 01:17 PM

Thought it was fair enough to give the free there tbh, you don't normally get away with the hand-off to the face.

He gets his neck, if that. There was no force in it, his hand is just there - he doesn't swing at him.

Uppercut · 11-09-2012, 01:35 PM

Meh, not saying it's a foul but they're given more often than not.

Lol Cleverly. Having a shocker here.

Townsend's such a ****ing moron, Defoe's perfectly lined up an open net and he's ranting about how poor a header it was. ITV's football coverage is unwatchable.

GIMH · 11-09-2012, 01:35 PM

Don't know whose miss was worse there.

Uppercut · 11-09-2012, 01:38 PM

Pick that one out. England have looked very open all match.

Maybe the commentators can stop pretending that Jagielka and Lescott constantly passing the ball back and forth is all part of the master-plan of New England now.

Scaly piscine · 11-09-2012, 01:38 PM

Back off, back off, back off. Defending has let them have a look all half.

GIMH · 11-09-2012, 01:39 PM

Incredible finish.
