I've just changed my entire team going ino the next round If you don't know there are unlimited transfers at the moment a you can put more the two players from the same team in

Um yes Torres, I forget him, edit time I said it had to be fluid Figo has been outstanding in a relatively poor Portugal side I am little biased though because he is one of my favourite players, but he has regained some of the spark that took him to the top a couple of years back

The one where the guys wear blue and/or white, eat spaghetti and say momma mia a lot US game was a bit dodgy because it turned into a kickfest but the other two games they played quite well in my most humble opinion Of course with us playing them next I hope they are as crap as you think they are

Sign the friggin contract Neill Sent a hero message to Emerton and Neill "Emo, why the hell don't you play like this for Rovers? Keep up the tremendous work!!" "Playing like a champion Lucas, now sign the friggin contract" Hope they get through

Bit early?

I think there has been some very good dominate teams and unachiving ones Argentina, Australia, Italy and Holland have been standouts with England, Brazil and Portugal underperforming I think so far it has been better then '02

I will no doubt change this by the end BUT Lehmann Miguel Neill Cannavaro Lahm Rodriguez Pirlo Ballack Kaka Klose Torres

There was two handball incidents

2 blatant penalties and three yellow cards to one player who still remains on the pitch Who cares about the 50/50 when we lose out on the 100 freakin zero's. It could have been 4-1 Not to mention the Japan goal Lucas was an absolute superstar. Looks good for Rovers to get a good return on him. Emo looks to be the player that we knew he could be, the last two games in defence he has been superb.

Most definately All the best coaches do it, Hiddink has played three different starting formations in 3 games and about 6 overall. Argentina swap from a back three to five as required, Brazil change from 2 to 5 up front. Giving the side flexibility is the name of the game in this years finals. I wouldn't be looking at the Ecuador game as a missed bullet.

If Sven plays Carragher and Cole wide, England will get murdered by Equador Ecuador is very strong coming forward on the flanks. Sven would be better going for a back central three and let Ecuador have the wide positions. That then allows him to play 4 across in midfield and Rooney in behind Crouch and ...........

There is actually 7, Kalac, Bresciano and Covic as well. It's dissapointing, those three would have looked very good in our squad. Pick everyone for Australia as early as possible If we did we could have added Vieri to that list

Was I wrong?

I normally wouldn't care but I have a smallish bet on Czech Rep as my dark horses 2 all

Ha Ha, stuff the formalities Can England break the drought? I think not, 0-0 in probably the most boring game of the World Cup

Thanks mate Rovermatt thanks for posting I just went and checked the times, I could have been all over the shop.

Well I think it is pertinent, all those singing his praises for England surely must back a bid for him at Rovers. He will obviously be stock at Loserpool if they sign Bellamy, Kuyt, Villa and Defoe. Maybe they think that is where we can spend our 6 million. :ph34r:

Cause it's a bloody joke Eddie

Rovermatt, trying staying up from 11pm until 4am then getting up at 7am for work

Ha Ha, yeh you are right 140, that makes me feel better because I only need 31 to catch up I made four subs as well, went through the draw and changed players who I think are going to be rested Ronaldinho, Kaka ect

I was equal most points in the last game on 61, still sitting 7th though How the hell did Cocker get up to 190 points

Would have been better if the goal was scored against Iran

So how many people would advocate a bid for Crouch for Rovers then?
