    Well what aload of ? , England played absolutely ? ... We didnt deserve ? outta that game, total embarrassment, Terry as much as I hate the ? , was our only decent player, Young was ? , doing ? He wouldnt do at United, not playing like Hes used to... England need to take A look at themselves, fans that went to that game, and watched them get battered for 130mins or atleast 85mins should get A refund... Made Me lose interest in the Euros with that performance...

    yeah, i came across that term the first time yesterday...

    and that germany line is obviously an overstatement, it's supposed to say that they play sh*itty a lot of times and still surprisingly win, something only big teams manage to do.

    and regarding titles, there are 2 countries in the world that can ? with germany, one is brazil, the other one is italy, no one else is seeing them. you could mention argentina but i think you might as well keep it real and say maradona instead because without him, they aint ? really...

    men lie, women lie, numbers dont...
    italy 4x world champion, 1x european champion
    germany 3x world champion, 3x european champion
    spain 1x world champion, 2x time european champion
    france 1x world champion, 2x european champion
    holland 0x world champion, 1x european champion
    england 1x world champion, 0x european champion

    What do you know about Mario Kempes? Marodonna didn't play in 78

    regardless of that, Marodonna is to Argentina, what Beckenbauer is for Germany, Pele for Brazil etc

    damn never knew that the gauchos bribed peru...

    italy has some dirt on their hands too, mussolini fixed the world cup 1934, he paid off/threatened the refs. and since we talked bout wellbeck & affelay the other day, one of the italy players in 1934, luis monti, played for argentina in the wc 1930.

    yeah, kempes is a legend, but maradona is much more important for argentina than pele or beckenbauer for their countries.

    Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah


    'Albion are delighted to announce the signing of Catalonian right-back Bruno Saltor on a free transfer from Valencia.

    The 31-year-old has agreed a two-year deal at the Amex and brings further top-flight experienced to Gus Poyet's side.

    Poyet said, "Bruno has a great amount of top-level experience in La Liga, the Champions League and the Europa League, and to bring a player of his quality is a coup for us."'

    Vela wanted a move from time, no surprise there.

    Some Russian club is interested in Bendtner.

    Park was basically a safety belt.

    Van Persie coming back from injury back in 2010 really ? up Chamakh's game. The man was scoring goals and helping us win games during Rvp's injury. I hope this isn't the end of his career.

    UEFA has charged the Spanish and Russian football associations for racist chants by fans at the European Championship.

    The charges follow reports that monkey noises were directed by Spain fans at Italy forward Mario Balotelli, and that Russian fans targeted Czech Republic defender Theodor Gebre Selassie.

    UEFA says it has opened disciplinary cases for "improper conduct of their supporters (racist behavior, racist chanting)." The European football body says its disciplinary panel will deal with the cases Thursday.

    They definitely could win the game tomorrow. And if they do win, it will be because of their defense.

    Spain's offense is very potent. Xavi and Iniesta had about 400 passes between them. Imo Spain's depth gives them the advantage.

    But as always the game has to be played. Its 50-50 at this point..

    If Spain try come on this 'no forward' buzz they won't score unless Portugal make a mistake...Portugal, however...have Ronaldo...Which automatically makes them more incisive than the over-thinkerin' Spaniards...They will definitely control the game, though...So if Portugal wanna win, they'll have to make good on the early opportunities Spain give them
