    We were playing a game at our BBQ last night while watching the game, we were seeing who could predict whether Heskey would fall over whenever he got the ball.

    When / if he plays again watch how often he falls over, when you're watching out for it you will surprised how often it is as it works out about 60% of the time he gets the ball

    Just a thought on what went wrong!

    It was fabio's 64th Birthday.
    He must have shared a glass or two and his cake with the players just before they went on the pitch...They certainly looked and played as if they were full of something........
    I know he's not English and he probably wants his home country to do well but surely he's trying to get England through to the next round.............is'nt he???
    :cool:
    Trying to learn something new every day.

    The squad just isn't good enough and I can't believe the number of idiots who even entertain the idea of England having a chance of making any sort of notable impact on the tournament, let alone winning the thing. Let's be honest, this squad is no different to the one that was owned in the Euro2008 qualifying stages.

    Take the likes of Rooney and Gerrard and put them in teams where they are supported by players with genuine flair and they look good. That is ultimately the issue with British football, we do not have any flair players.

    That, to be honest, comes down to how we teach kids to play football. We have this stupid idea in this country that we can take "fit" lads and teach them football whilst the rest of Europe take "footballers" and get them fit. The country could never produce a Messi or Ronaldo because, quite frankly, the coaching of junior players at the youngest level (U5-U9) is utterly abysmal.

    Scotland has a football team? Really, or are you joking?

    I only discovered last week that Scotland had a cricket team.

    You learn something new every day.
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
    Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.
