The kick into own face own goal? Made me laugh for about 5 hours. Even better with comedy 'boink!' sound effect.

My daily Newsnight email pointed me to this.

I think it's pretty accurate, although the point about Joe Cole was only relevant for the Ecuador game - he was our best player in the other matches.

The link is excellent, I can't believe I was trying to tell someone about the hilariousness of that incident that I had seen, and there you are putting it on B'fest (yes I shortened it!).

yes of course you can, although no funny business!!
dandy, excellent word to revive by the way but should be in the proper way, i.e. Dan is a DANDY, etc.
awsome thanks.
btw the 'dy' was a typo. I meant to write I " should be Dan for saturday" which, I expect, will be one of my more accurate forecasts.

Well I guess someone should do a bit of a dissection as to how England managed to screw up another cup campaign.
For me the reason for the demise was down to 2 things. Both involving Eriksson.
1. Should have taken Jermain Defoe. Or at least another recognised striker. I know he has always stuck by his decision but quite frankly he's a fool. Whats the point in taking an emerging young talent like Walcott if you're not going to play him? And what happens when you get a worse-case scenario like Owen getting injured and Rooney getting sent off? Crouch.
2. The system. 4-5-1 was never going to work and even when we tried playing it there was no link-up play whatsoever. I cant remember seeing a single decent ball between defence and midfield, or midfield and attack. Gerrard and Lampard cant play together, and Lampard had a diabolical tournament.
Give it to Lennon!!

it was all kindsa wrong...
if we'd be playing well and gone out on pens then i'd be more annoyed. but the fact that we hadnt really played well all tournament means that we're not good enough to go through.
that is ericsson's fault.
he's had the best crop of english players for 4 years and still hasnt figured out how to get the best of them.
lampard had a shocker...
bring on carrick, let gerrard fuck about all over the shop.
what i dont understand is that when beckham came off, lennon came on, and he rinsed their leftback and created our best chance within 2 minutes of coming on.... so surely the next plan would be... give it to lennon. let him run!
but no... how about we just lump it up to crouch long ball style.
also, i dont think rooney got sent off because of stamping the guy in the balls cos the ref just gave a foul for that, it was only when ronaldo came up to rooney and he pushed him away and the ref blew up and pulled out the carte rouge, which is a rediculous reason to send someone off.

Mostly agree. However, I am still a bit annoyed because Portugal were also arse. We played absolutely bollocks for an hour and then with ten men for the rest of the match, and Portugal still couldn't break us down. There is no way they deserve to be in the last four - I hope France rinse them about 8-0.
Lampard did indeed have a shocker of a tournament, but I thought Gerrard and Beckham were equally as cack, but cos they weren't having pops at goal and missing every 5 minutes it wasn't so obvious.
Glad Eriksson has gone, not too sure if McLaren will be any better though.
The whole rooney off thing is really pissing me off:

Some other questions to ask:
The referee says the sending off was for the stamp.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,28...2254786,00.html
==================================
Why then did the ref not card Rooney straight away?
Why did the ref only react suddenly after Rooney make that shove against Ronaldo?
I am convinced the Ref did not send Rooney off for the stamp; he has 'rewritten history in his mind' to justify the red card since the minor shove should have been a yellow card at most.
Ronaldo said he was only appealing for a foul, not a red card
=========================================
Why then did he continue to appeal after it was obvious the ref had given the foul decision?
Why did he wink at the bench as Ronaldo was walking off? (This isn't an 'alleged wink' or 'appeared to wink' he DID wink).
Lastly words from Rooney himself:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_5...000/5143088.stm
And I believe him.

1. Rooney appeared to be fouled himself prior to his stamp. These should have been given in Englands favour.
2. The stamp itself did not seem intentional:
a. Rooney was facing away from the player so was not able to aim a stamp
b. As soon as his foot came down you can see Rooney immediately stop - as if surprised.
c. Rooney puts his had up to acknowledge his error.
3. The referee blows for the foul and is standing with arm stretched out but makes no reach for a card.
4. When Ronaldo comes in Wayne does shove him away as if to say "stay out of this". This was not an aggressive shove
a. Wayne does not 'square up' to Ronaldo with the shove.
b. Ronaldo himself isn't even really bothered about the shove - he just ignores it and continues talking to the Ref.
c. If Ronaldo thought the shove was aggressive he would certainly have 'acted it up' and gone down.
d. You can see Neville join the group and do a similar push on Ronaldo and (rightly) no one reacts to that.
5. Only AFTER this shove does the Ref suddenly react and send off Rooney.

Right,
I have finally summoned up the strength to look at the internet, after Saturdays feeble England performance.
After seeing Germany and Italy play one of the best matches I have seen in 5 years or so, I am comforted to know that I am glad that the sides in the semi final are playing that sort of football.
I now hope France play Portugal and win 7-0.
I've tried to post without going on too much about the game on saturday, but I can't..
<start rant>
How many crosses did beckham or Joe Cole get from near the byline during the whole world cup? I can remember that Lennon managed to get to the byline and either cross or cut back the ball on 3 separate occasions during his 30 mins on the pitch, and caused havoc all these times.
Why didn't Crouch play from the start?
Surely it is better to get beaten by playing attacking football, than by sitting back and waiting for the inevitable?
England generally struggled to get out of their half, but why when they have pacy, quality defenders? There is the option with this to push up and take a chance to pressurise the opposition, nicking the ball in their half and getting chances.
Finally, why didn't they go for O'Neill instead of Mclaren?

What I did on my summer holidays
By Theo Walcott Esq aged 17 1/2
I went to a place called Germany with my Uncle Sven and some other grown up's. It is a country in Europe where a bad man called Adolf used to live with his nazties, he does not live there anymore, Uncle Owen lives there, but the grown up's say I can't talk about the bad man as it will make Uncle Owen cry if I do. In Germany there are lots of castles and some mountains.
We are staying in a place called Baden Baden, what a silly name. Uncle Frank has the same name as his dad, that's silly too, his mum must get their underpants mixed up all the time.
On the aeroplane Uncle Sol sat next to me, he got me some toffee and wants to be my friend, he works at the place where I do my YTS, so does Uncle Freddy but him and Uncle Sol are not best friends anymore.
Uncle Owen met us at the airport, 'cos he talks foreign. Uncle Wayne, Uncle Steven and Uncle David also talk funny, my mum says Uncle David talks like Orville, an' he is a duck. Uncle Sol says Uncle David wears dresses and knickers, and asked me if I had ever worn them. Uncle Sol got me some pop.
In Germany the grown ups are going to play football, my grandad says we beat them in the olden days before my mum was born. That is a long time ago.
While the grown up's went to play football I went shopping with Auntie Vicky and some other girls. She bought me a big ice cream and got herself a little one but she said she was full before she had eaten any and threw it away. She bought lots of shoes and handbags and let me play with Brooklyn. She say's she used to be in a pop band and sang me one of her songs, I think she was telling fibs.
I told Uncle Sol about my day out with Vicky and he sulked, then he bought me an even bigger ice cream with lots of hundreds & thousands on it. All the other grown up's have a girlfriend except Uncle Sol so he plays with me while they go out. Uncle Sven says I must keep Uncle Sol happy, that's why I got taken on holiday.
The grown up's went to play Football against somebody called Sweden, Uncle Sol was crying as Uncle Freddy played for them and would not talk to him. Uncle Sol bought me lots of toffee today and some crisps. Uncle Sven is from Sweden and I heard him on the phone to their boss last night. Uncle Michael hurt his knee and had to go home to his mum for a plaster. Uncle Peter is a giant, a proper giant like you see in books, he is rubbish at football though.
Uncle Wayne had a sore toe at the start of our holiday but it got better so they let him play football. Uncle Sol got me a present but I do not like it. He says all Germans wear leather underpants and I should while we are here, they are too tight for me. All the grown up's started to call Uncle Wayne a potato head who stood on somebody's spuds. He got shouted at by the referee.
They are all saying that we have to go home now. Uncle Sol was crying again and I had to sit on his knee to make him stop. He had his mobile phone in his pocket, I think.
