Nah was cause we didn't have a decent enough stadium during the bidding process and the political will to host games. Our own fault more then anything.

How did you enjoy the terrible Sydney atmosphere Flash and that cesspool of a stadium Flash

Yeah the atmosphere was pretty shit, tonnes of families and kids. Although to be fair, if Scotland were playing fucking Oman it would have been shit too.

Japan vs UAE tonight.

The biggest game of the tournament, assuming Japan win tonight, is Japan vs Australia and it's going to be in fucking Newcastle. Why have a SF in Newcastle?

They're not exactly known for signing the players they need.

Who should we sign then? Not like we're going to attract world class players or anything.

I'd try putting in a bid for Schurrle to be honest. If it's true Chelsea are looking to get Cuardado and let him go then it's not that unrealistic.

Nah they were terrible.

The defending was embarrassing. It was schoolboy stuff. Just running to the ball, no structure whatsoever.

Passing was also rubbish. Seemed to hold on to the ball too long then panic and give it away.

The point of jail isn't just to keep people locked away, it's to rehabilitate them and introduce them back into society.

The fact that the government and others have basically made it impossible for him to get a job shows the system is wrong.

Also, the case is so massively filled with holes I'm not fully convinced he actually did it. I've been in the jury for a rape case and you'd be amazed how many people wanted them found guilty regardless of the fact there was so little/no evidence. The UK has a massive culture of thinking 'They've been accused of something, so they must be guilty'.

I don't rate Rodgers at all but they can't sack him after last season can they?

And they can't afford to blow big money again, their return on investment has been awful.

After losing at home to the Faroe Islands, it's no less than deserved.

That was months ago though, wasn't it?

The Hampden pitch was covered with a raised platform over the entire thing to allow room for the running track for the commonwealth games.

So the turf needs to be completely redone.

Bullshit.

Silva is horribly inconsistent. He's not even close.

For every world class performance he puts in, he's anonymous for 5. He has 2 goals and 2 assists this season, against Newcastle, Hull and West Ham.

Cheating on your wife with your friend and team-mates girlfriend is pretty bad.

Also, you're forgetting the charges he's had for things like assault and parking in disabled spots.
