Important (apparently) International Weekend

[talkshowhost86]

The fact that it's 2013 and we are STILL playing Gerrard and Lampard together is fucking ridiculous.

Fortunately, with Vucinic out (apparently) I suspect Montenegro might roll over tonight and super Roy will be hailed as the messiah as we crush a team that wasn't even a country during the last round of qualifying.

Scholes on the left wing was a far worse crime.

lol yeah indeed, jesus, the media like to portray our golden generation as having underperformed, when in reality it was a succession of negative, unadventurous managers.

 

[yawa]

Lineker seems to think Townsend is starting.

I don't get the notion that playing either Gerrard or Lampard as a holding midfielder is a preference to playing an established, classy and equally decorated player like Carrick - it's just absurd.

Well if you lot think you've got it bad with Woy, just spare us Welsh guys a thought with 'Cookie' fucking Coleman!

Looking forward to the England game tonight. It will make a pleasant change.

A Gerrard/Lampard 4-4-2 is going to be horrific

Ah, didn't realise that was a joke! Just thought it was a straight copy from Twitter.

Gerrard/Lampard combo in the middle is just embarrassing.

Belgium v Croatia is just about to kick off if anyone had any interest.

Croatia need to win to qualify and Belgium just need to avoid defeat. Belgium are playing Jan at left back. Should be an interesting game.

People said that this shit would stop years ago

If the line up is right it has to be 4-2-3-1

Found this stat interesting.

"Baines created more chances - 116 - than any other Premier League player last season. More than the likes of Juan Mata, David Silva and Santi Cazorla. Many of those were from set-pieces and that could prove an important asset for England, as anybody who saw those stunning free-kicks in the win over West Ham last month would attest. But even from open play, Baines was mixing it with the Spanish trio in the top ten creators in the country - creating 20 more opportunities than any other Premier League defender."


Any way come on england. I can't be arsed to sit around sulking about last weekend.

Lukaku, 1-0 to Belgium. Croatia might be out of the WC

 

[kazzah9]

lukaku such a beast

 

[only1waddle]

lukaku such a beast

Battering ram.. 2 crazy strikers in Lukaku and Benteke.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

2-0 Belgium, Lukaku with his second.

 

[felmani26]

Battering ram.. 2 crazy strikers in Lukaku and Benteke.

But then they are more than just muscle up front - they both can play.

Belgium have never had it so good!
