I'm only playing, we all know we suck balls these days. We have one or two good players and I do think we should be doing better but he seems to be bullet proof.

I remember (well from videos etc.) Argentina 78 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/sportscotland/asportingnation/article/0002/print.shtml) we were 3rd favourites, Dalglish, Gemmill, Johnston etc etc and well we lost to Peru, drew with Iran and then beat Holland and went crashing out. So even when we're sporting some of the best players on the planet, we suck balls....

Anyway I prefer Tennis these days for some reason???
Is that because of Murray?
British when he wins, Scottish when he loses.

I like Murray.
He doesn't have a presence like some of the others, but he's good at what he does, and he keeps hanging in there.

Moutinho scored 2 free kicks for Portugal in 1st half of their game this afternoon. Didn't Ian Harte score a hattrick of FKs at Ewood in pre season years ago?

Only a friendly, but just watched Brazil v Argentina (Argies won 1-0), but far from friendly and a very competitive game.
imo Brazil should have won De Jesus missed so many and they actually hit both posts in the space of a second.
Di Maria had a great game for the Argies.

I see Jesus picked up a broken eye socket from his Man City team mate. Nasty injury. Happened to me in my early 20s.

We are rubbish let's face it.
At least rubbish can be re-cycled. Our lot need flushing down the toilet.

The differences between the teams in football ability, tactical awareness, fitness, athleticism and application were huge.

Kane is our only true International class player...and he looks a bit Frenchy....

England u21 v Germany u21 in Euro semi today live on Sky.

Germany are just good but not brilliant and they fell apart after Italy scored in their last group game.

England should go for it as to sit back would imo be fatal v the Krauts.

The young keeper Pickford has made big mistakes in all matches so far and got away with them If he repeats today we will get punished.

It's time Abraham scored so todays the day I hope.
