"For Mr Hodgson or anyone else to make an apology if they fail to understand why the words used were offensive or potentially is not the response of an institution with the resources and profile of the FA. The "innocent remark" made out of ignorance is sadly a common feature of footb...

I'm 99 % sure the John Sitton doc featured some half time chats. I'm 99 % sure the Graham Taylor doc ('do I not like that' one) featured some half time footage. The other England one I heard was HT 1990 semi final. Lineker is first into the room, so goes to the flip chart and writes '5:1 he mentions...

In the past, they've had a top seed pot (including hosts), then a UEFA pot, then two rest-of-world pots.

Given the Swiss didn't qualify for Euro 2014 it does rather seem that results in qualification are overweighted. A good ranking will then produce another favourable qualification group and so on... I can't be bothered to properly fact check this, but at first glance it does not appear that Switzerl...

Ouroboros Does anyone else think that there's something a bit weird about the FIFA rankings?

http://www.fifa.com/worldranking/index.html Currently 7th. Brasil being seeded makes 'sense' in that's pretty much what they always do, innit? Plus it recognises the lack of actual games they've played. That essentially 150 points separate 4th from 14th, and 3rd are almost 100 points above 4th is pr...

Royal RothervoyeurRoyal Rother Rooney MOTM???? ROFL!
agreed, Townsend all the way
No doubt about it. He tired but was brilliant in the 1st half and still good in the 2nd.
I'd put Polish keeper up there, would have been 4 or 5 otherwise.

In all other groups, they strip out sixth place. Just guessing Denmark will struggle but a four way contest will obviously share out the points evenly, with a lower average.

soggy biscuit As it stands 3 teams all finishing in 2nd with a joint worst points total, Denmark with worst goal diff though, if that is what would decide it.
France 1-0 up, if they draw they become the worst 2nd placed team!
Have you corrected for six team groups?

soggy biscuit Group B is interesting with 4 teams still going for 2nd place.
Denmark 5-0 up so unless Bulgaria can turn their 0-1 scoreline to Czech's around then Denmark get it
Four way fun will work against Denmark. One second place team doesn't get a play-off.

I like Milner really but there's only so much space for slow midfielders and Gerrard, Lampard and Carrick are all ahead of him; when he gets selected you know it's because he's there to cover the full back rather than hammer forward. Milner in that one season at centre midfield for Villa (09-10) >>...

I think Hodgson is making a pretty decent fist of this international management lark, not that it really comes as a great surprise. Montenegro are exactly the sort of side England would have struggled to beat previously but he's shaking the squad up a bit and not relying on the same old names and t...
