Im sure I read somewhere that in the last instance it would be based on whoever is highest in the rankings. There might be a step or two before it gets to that...

Phones that need cases

FIFA rankings.

Yeah, looked a bit savage. I reckon it'll be worse after the game finishes if someone grabs a winner.

He's trimmed down a lot as well as losing the stupid ponytail.

Imagine what AC9 could do if he lost the stupid barnet

Couldn't have picked a more perfect pic for that

Interesting point on the radio which I hadn't noticed - there was no annoying band in the crowd. Turns out the FA do the legwork to get them dispensation to get into the games with their instruments but someone at the ground stopped them.

I preferred it without them tbf.

Perhaps these international managers with decades of experience who work with players every day see something in him that they like that people on the Internet don't see? We've talked about AC9 loads and there's no need to go over it all again as you say but I see something in the lad that could be ...

I didn't say you were knocking England just that you are writing a hell of a lot more about us than your own team, please continue, I take it as a compliment even if some of your views seem to indicate that you're on crack or something :-)

carroll is it the team basically because we paid 35 million for him I'm sorry but what? :icon_uhoh: :icon_uhoh: :icon_uhoh: How has a transfer fee got anything to do with a national team? If Roy had even signed him you might have half an argument. If you're on a wind up its not great but if you're ...

I think it's quite flattering that Voidy can write several long posts about England but barely two sentences about Ireland :-)

#justsaying

I'm still very wary of getting optimistic about England, been stung too many times before. If we get through the group I hope Roy gets us practising penalties

Well, that's the first phase of the tournament done and it's been fantastic so far.

Worst game was Spain v. Italy in my opinion but even that wasn't too bad.

Shevchenko again

Terry and Cole should know all about him hopefully

Could do with Sweden equalising here.

Fuck me, this game has sprung to life.

Rooney and Welbeck would look tasty with gerrard behind them. We'll probably never see it but Rooney and Carroll could be quite intimidating. They're good mates to if I remember right so they might have an understanding. Still, did like Welbeck a lot. He was quite isolated when Young faded out of th...

I wonder what effect Rooney coming back will have.

I was surprised AC didn't get 15-20 at the end, I think he's a good option as an impact sub too. I can see why Defoe came on though, get him some mintes under his belt after what he's been through.

Ref was indeed a cunt. Tactics were solid but unspectacular as you'd expect from Roy. It did a job tonight but we could become real predictable. Thing is we don't really have the guile to play anything more intricate. Ashley young did real well for the first half hour or so but faded out. Ox was pre...

Reasonably pleased with that.
