World Cup 2018 Qualifiers

Dele Alli must've tied Rashford's boots for him at half time. How else could you explain a goal from outside the box from a kid up north.
 
Why is there no goal line technology in Poland game? Ah well glik fixed that anywa

Was a really talented player. The England team of the 80s had some real class players and probably underachieved more-so than the so called Golden Generation. The old players didn't have the marketing boosting their profiles. Simpler times.

My dad told me he was pretty good.

Yet their most successful period came when the majority of the team consisted of Barca players, goat.

But you keep proving my point again and again. Yes I know these players were on the wane or weren't there. That's why they lost. It had nothing to do with cliques. It had to do with the manager and ageing players. Thank you again Goat.

So having one dominant clique does have its advatantages. Thus, having multiple cliques is not a good thing. You are literally agreeing with my original point and are now butthurt that the glory days of Barça are over for now. You will have to watch Asensio, Isco and co lead the national team.

Cheers, pal. Glad you could agree. :)
 
It hasn't been anywhere near as comfortable as I expected it to be but a win is a win.

Seems that Poland has been robbed of a goal. Lewy scored from a FK, GK got a hand to it but the ball bounced from behind the goal line but referee gave us no goal.

Twats.

shouldn't there be some kind of goal line technology for that?
 
Ugh.

Skrtl has hair now.

Thought he was incapable of growing hair on his head. Weird.

He's overrated isn't he?

That's what I think.... though most people won't agree. I just wonder what he'd be like playing for a non Poch team outside of that system.

If I were to compare him to a modern player it'd be Ozil. Lovely on the eye, technically outstanding....yet polarized opinion:

So here was not a man who struggled with the mantle of messiah. If anything, he felt he was not appreciated enough: not only did he possess an unearthly gift for controlling a football, and then striking it with either foot, he also had a message for the masses. And the message was: this world does not understand me.

More precisely, English football did not understand him. Although he won 53 caps for England, he never established himself in the side, never marked out a position that was his. In an era dominated by the stamina and steel of Bryan Robson, Hoddle was deemed a luxury that the national team could only occasionally afford, and rarely when it mattered.

He was accused of lacking heart, guts, balls, arsehole and all the other body parts that made up the typical English player of the Eighties. His critics beyond White Hart Lane called him a Fancy Dan. Brian Clough once said that it took 'moral courage to play the way Hoddle does'. But Tommy Smith, the notorious Liverpool hardman, accused Hoddle of going missing when someone - Smith, for example - got stuck into him. The point of all this was made clear in the nickname that Hoddle was awarded: Glenda.
