Re: The "i'm not interested" international friendlies thread

Altidore has smartened up a good deal --volleyed home the opener and made the third by holding off a challenge, getting forward in possession out wide and then waiting and lumping it in to Dempsey in the area instead of trying to force his way to goal and being made to look stupid as has been his wo...

soggy biscuit
Tonight : Ecuador Vs Germany

This one's been hilarious --Podolski caught a centre-half in possession from Ecuador's kick-off, nicked the ball and made the net bulge before the match clock got posted on-screen

4-0 on 24' and Over to ENG-IRL then :arrow:

Re: Wolves - You've Let us down again

So absent a swing of 14 goals on Saturday, Palace having been held at The Den on Tuesday locks Brighton into fourth For Palace, a home draw with Peterborough on Saturday would suffice to place them fifth or sixth absent a Bolton win by at least 3 over Blackpool plus a win for Forest by 6 or better o...

Re: Wolves - You've Let us down again

I say allow it --outcome influences next Saturday's Brighton v Wolf's dynamic

Absent such, all parties of course would have to be punished to the fullest extent

Re: Wolves - You've Let us down again

Blackburn'd be made safe in defeat tonite if any two of Wolf's, Barnsley and Posh fail to win, but of course that's a whole bunch of if (and they're back on level terms in any case) Brighton a goal and soon thereafter a man to the good at Elland Road, and the hosts firmly mid-table At the very least...

Re: Portsmouth fc

Oldham (on 44 pts) now the only side above the bottom four whom Pompey (39) could pip to the wire Thing is, Oldham have four remaining fixtures (where Pompey and many of the rest have two) and need do no better than draw two of those to send Pompey down And this assumes that Pompey defeat Sheff Utd ...

'ancestry' whatever that means Ancestry defined and how I meant it (sense 1 of the first definition shown) While of course generally aware of the grandparent criterion, I got crossed up on eligibility rules for a reason that is simple enough to explain, but I'm not about to bother --this being, aft...

Re: Maximum number of countries you could represent?

Well I can prove ancestry to each of the home n8ions with the exception of Wales Athough I've got to reckon the "Scots-Irish" distinction may be kinda hazy to anybody inspecting credentials at that end of things, so NI may in fact be a no Plus RoI and Deutschland fer sher And direct ancest...

Turkey do themselves little good in Group D with a home draw to Hungary as Romania are a goal behind away to Netherlands at the break
