just watching euro highlights of the weekend - loved one of the gibraltar players with his back to play walking back to the semi circle whilst keane was lining up his pen. he knew he wouldn't miss haha


loving the expert punditry from folwer saying he reckons the battle between scotland and ireland will go down to the last game with scotland maybe chasing GD vs gibraltar.

if only it wasn't done on head to head with scots winning 4 points to 1 v ireland, hey robbie?

He's always had that in him, remember him going mad at Fergie!? There's a real footballer in there, better than Wilshere Henderson and the like that's for sure.

He's better than one of those,but when fit he isn't better than Wilshere.

Is it me or do England look better without Gerrard in midfield? Or is it Shelvey and Barkley playing brilliant?

I missed the whole "Adversus likes Shaqiri more than anyone else does" thing I think

Probably too busy taking shots due to the whole "Mikey likes Virgil more than anyone else does" thing

It's funny because I never really liked Shaqiri more than anyone else. My first pick at the start of the window was Yarmolenko before it was cool.

Shaqiri was just angering because it should have been a slam dunk signing. 23 years old, fantastic quality and can play in the position we were looking to fill and he went to Stoke for 12m. I'm still not over that one.

David Beckham was considered mad by Zizou for running around all game and burning off energy that should have been conserved for game-changing moments. Players like Jamie Vardy should be nowhere near the England team and it's a sad reflection of the dearth in English attacking talent that he is.

Barkley reminds me so much of Zidane. I know I will get pillared for that because it's way too soon but if there's a player he looks to be copying it's him.

When was the last time Holland didn't qualify for a major tournament ?

Everton mate

Best just never to get your hopes up

It's the hope that kills you

2002 World Cup I believe

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

A victory for Wales today will be a victory for the memory of Gary Speed. He was integral to this squad getting to this position. Good luck to them!

Cheers mate

 

[Caolam]

I really hope Wales get the right result today. So here we go "Come on you reds"

I need to lie down now.

 

[Minimeister]

Seen some good Wales sides over the years fail to reach the big stage. Would be great to see them in a major competition. The Euro's are shaping up nicely.

2002 World Cup I believe

Yep. A great day in Dublin that and possibly the last time Ireland beat anyone of note in a qualification match.
