    The "we've got a crap football team" group.

    But you do realise England were just held to a draw by the USA, right? :rotfl:

    Who did the USA beat in the CONCACAF Cup? would that be Spain Semis and Brazil in the Final?

    Let face it mate, they are not a bad team, I would of much preferred we played Scotland today we could of done with a easy game for the first.;)

    A total goalkeeping howler allowed that match to be a draw. It isn't down to American skill, its down to our mistake. Now we need to make sure we don't make any more against teams that are supposedly easier still to beat. I'm more worried about the number of yellows we picked up.

    Was that also with a country where the women's game is better supported than the men's? :D

    I wouldnt know Hamish.


    Sometimes I think your sole purpose of getting out of bed in the morning is to come on MSE & wind people up, write a load of carp without thinking or knowing or caring about the full facts.

    But I tell you something. I am not sad enough to google that one for a comeback.

    Is that an "oooooo lovely" type of gosh or a "stick some clothes on before you catch a death of cold" gosh?
