    Every four years? Football is constant. It does not stop.
     
  2. A quick aside:

    England is looking pretty sloppy against the lowly Magyars (Hungary) at Old Trafford. Sven put in a 4-5-1 system and they haven't even sniffed a scoring chance...

    As a Liverpool fan, I love Jamie Carragher.
    But he is not a holding midfielder.
    Put Carragher in central defense, get overrated Rio Ferdinand out of there and try again, Sven.

    Ladies and gentlemen, your official World Cup ball, the Adidas TeamGeist.

    You will all be pardoned for looking at the ball and immediately wondering how Adidas attached a maxipad to a soccer ball. It's the same thing everybody else thinks, so don't feel embarrassed.

    The first one of those I saw, though, was about Scotland and I thought it quite odd they used an Irish band.

    I thought I was the only one that saw that.

    The Proclaimers were not available. They refused to walk 500 miles for the gig.

    Big Country was not available. They were lost In A Big Country.

    Franz Ferdinand was not available. Somebody took them out ... presumably, to a pub.

    Danny Wilson was not available. Nobody was able to Meet Danny Wilson at the airport.

    Teenage Fanclub was not considered. Not enough teenage fans.

    The Average White Band was not considered. Too average.

    The Bay City Rollers were not available. They only work one night a week.

    Gee, who was that guy pinging in crosses for Eng-er-lund against Hungary? He seemed like a decent player. :D


    Big ups to my boys Japan for a good showing against Germany. Hopefully Yuichi Komano showed enough to get into the starting lineup ahead of Kaji.

    It's not going to help. For it to matter, Pho-real would have actually had to watch a game. Don't count on that.

    Has anyone bought any WC preview magazines? I'm gonna try to find one today. FourFourTwo, World Soccer, who has the best?
