And the poor guy is now on Mancini's bench... sometimes I have to wonder wtf the coaches are thinking.

EDIT: OMG! Someone with the same tatoos as Guti! MY EYES!! HUUUURT!

Why should I be jealous of those? I support my own side... How can anyone be jealous of that lot of ponsey short pass boring shit? Slight touch, fall over and die crap?! Pile of shite their World Cup Win.

So Torres doesn't play .... he's not injured right?!

tommy LFC · « **Reply #1046 on:** September 7, 2010, 10:55:34 pm »

Can someone update me on the Spain game, what's the score? Why was Pepe playing, was Casillias injured? And was he really substituted after a blunder?

classycarra · « **Reply #1047 on:** September 7, 2010, 10:56:48 pm »

is that the end of marchena's record of not losing in some stupidly large number of games? happened in the same week that kuyt also loses his dutch record for most number of matches in a row. both were something daft like 50+ weren't they?

Finished 4-1 to Argentina. Dont know why Pepe was playing but he came off at half time. Apparently the idea was to play both keepers anyway so Valdes was always going to play the 2nd half

They took Reina off at half-time? Fucking nonce. I don't care if that was the plan pre game, you leave him on after what happened in the first.

It wasn't even a mistake - the pitch gave way so I doubt if it would affect his confidence one way or the other.

I know it's a bit of a conspiracy theory but, Pepe played for plausible deniability ... Spain's WC winning side didn't lose

Torres has a slight knock to the knee from training and Del Bosque didn't think it was worth putting him on, so just kept him on the bench instead.

Thought he got up pretty quickly. Obviously it's not something you want to happen but it's not like the Arsenal game where it was a mistake. He'll be fine.

Maybe its me, coz you know, I'm just a little fucked up, but I have a hunch that if England dived, rolled, and short passed their way to becoming European and World Champions, then you'ld be boring the fuck out of anyone who's willing to listen about how super duper England are. Just a hunch like

The amount of posession that Ireland needlessly surrendered was worrying. Stray passes, and poor concentration, they were very slack at times. They should have been more assertive against a team like Andorra. Still though, fuck it, a win is a win.
