Now, let's talk some SOCCER!

Sniff sniff!!....that wus beootiful Snowy,

The one by the good "LORD" was a keeper! Now, if England only had him (or her) as their goalie, they might have a snowbound chance in he.. !!

I'm w/you.....I'd love to see O'ranje pull it off but the closer we get to kickoff the less sure I am of anything!!

Play on, big ed

 

we'll see who's laughing by the end of the World Cup! Rooney will play the quarters and by the final will be back to his best

Henry Vs Rooney

Mwahahaha...hi icy,

Just a quick quote here from the late, great, Geo Best on David Beckham:

"He cannot kick w/his left foot,

He cannot head the ball,

He cannot tackle,

He doesn't score many goals!

Apart from that he's all right!!"


I'll be the first one to yell Yip-de-Hoody if the Lions do well....but I just can't see it! IMHO their Defence is too error prone, big guns at mid-field but no Paul Scholes, up front...too many limpers! Last time around they played well against Argentina and Sweden...Period!

Having said all that....I wasn't even close in '02!!

Bring em on, big ed

Ps....Comparing Rooney w/Henri is like comparing a Mack Truck w/a Mercedes!

 

well i think England are good throughout the team apart from up front atm, when Rooney gets back all will be well.

atm Henry has done more then Rooney, but i really do think in the big games Rooney is better. (most of the Rooney stuff from that video were when he was still 16)

how about this?

of cause i'm not impressed because i have all those moves. but i do them without a ball and when i'm trying to walk straight getting home from the pub

 

Ah..I don't know! Even France is looking good. If that nuttso Barthez doesn't make any glaring boo boo's they will be in the thick of things. Most of the teams have made big changes in their defensive lineups except for Brazil who never give you the ball anyways.

I'll most likely change my mind in my next post!

Play on, big ed

 

i didn't know they still had Barthez in goal, lol i thought France were suppose to have a good team

 

Yeah...read somewhere yesterday that the Frenchy Coach picked him over another guy who at this time has better credentials. Caused quite a bruhaha!

Let's hope it's at least more than 1...

Nothing certain in this group of death...who knows...anything goes; the 2 giants might easily progress together or just as well get slayered by the Serbs (Mont.) & Ivory Coast...
Interesting group -as Van basten stated in his first reaction last December.
Exciting it will be!
