International matches Saturday 08/09/07

Scotland are really good to watch. They don't have the most football ability but they play as a proper team.

In terms of proper team work they beat England hands down.

Fletcher has been ace again as well.

How long before Motty mentions 1966?

And the sad thing is that fool knows it was rigged.

The Israel Anthem sounds like a Celine Dion song.

You should hear the real Israel anthem for once...just pick a light and let some gas flow out of it

4 minutes into the game and he has just mentioned it.

And THATS why hes only scored 5 international goals in 40 odd games.

Yeah, unbelievably great chance. They rarely come better than that.

I think we can already safely say, we looked like a much better balanced team, with two wingers. Barry and Gerrard have already shown they are more compatible than Lampard and Gerrard.



I cannot see how we won't score in this game.

SWP

GOOOOOALL

1-0.

Israel are parking the bus! England needs some suicide bombers! They are scared of that $h!t.

-1-0, you see it works.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEES SWP !!!

Great ball from Gerrard, nice touches (almost fucked up tho) from Cole, good delivery and tidy finish from SWP

GET IN

Wot!

Russia v FYR Macedonia.......1-0 ..saved

Damn.

That would have been brilliant for England if they scored it.

Russia are down to ten men they brought on a new goalie and he saved the penalty

Russia need to play 20 minutes with 10 men.

How has Owen not scored there!

This game could be very interesting FYR Macedonia can get a few chances, it looks 50-50 possession right now

Hes in the team by name only.

He hasn't played enough football or produced enough positive performances to merit a starting place.

I'm highly critical of Owen's place in the team.

In his time in football hes only ever made one partnership work and that was with Heskey, after all his injuries hes lost pace, and his only asset was his finishing, and at the moment it doesn't look like hes got that either.

You're also ommiting other players for the Owen-must-start law. He's missed one great throughpass from Joe Cole too (due to lack of pace) and fluffed another chance in the box.

Why not Defoe or Johnson at the moment. Or Derbyshire - start with the future now.

Owen's one-on-one is $h!t, because he only tried to blast the ball instead of placing it. You might as well have a slow Djibril Cisse upfront.

Russia v FYR Macedonia, 2-0. In truth Russia have not looked good other than the first 20 minutes... England should beat them

Belarus 1 - 2 Romania

England 1 - 0 Israel HT

Russia v FYR Macedonia,3-0

Hiddink is still dangerous in the final 10 minutes.
