Re: Official World Cup Thread: Ashley Cole, John Terry (no matter how much shit he has been through, he just won the Premiership which is a big boost to his confidence), Michael Dawson (he has been flawless for Spurs but doesn't have much experience on the national stage. Can still perform well), Glen Johnson (pure class), Ferdinand (he has been shite but is still a good player to have in any squad). I don't think it looks too bad.
Re: Official World Cup Thread: Dawson is excellent. Terry was poor this season on and off the field. (Also left training today with a knock) I wouldn't call Glen Johnson "pure class" .... but I suppose it's just an opinion. Rio's groin might explode at any moment. Just don't see it. That being said, they'll walk the group stage.
Re: Official World Cup Thread: It was a bit of an over-exaggeration but I believe he has the quality to perform at any top level. I'm more concerned with our midfield than our back four, to be honest. Not sure how Capello is going to utilize all the 'talent'
Re: Official World Cup Thread: I missed a good debate here about teams, this is why this discussion should happen in the World Cup forums we have here. (thread for each group etc)
Re: Official World Cup Thread: Maybe you should stop being so sarcastic if you want serious debate. When and if you decide that you DO want to have a serious chat about footyball (as the English call it) I'll be more than happy to do so here or in a chatroom of your choice. But, if you're just going to continue to throw words like "world class" "brilliant" or "lift" around, forget it.
Re: Official World Cup Thread: I don't think you understand that the words, "top class". It is quite a common phrase in England to describe "good" but it doesn't mean they're in the best in the world or the best thing in it's category. IE: PES is top class. Lewis Hamilton is top class. Your mum is top class, etc. You could venture out of your cave and take a look at some of the threads in there, but perhaps the debate is a little bit too much for you?
Re: Official World Cup Thread: I know exactly what "top class" means, and "pace" and "brilliant" and "roundabout" and "willy." But would you mind explaining what the FUCK bibbidy bobbedy boo means? Is that like a sandwich or something?
