If Ronaldo stays at man utd the rooney thing will blow over and they will be mates again. If someone stood on my team mate id be fuckin telling the ref to send him off aswell - dangerous play and there is no excuses for Rooney - he cost his side with his aggressiveness. If i was Fergie id snap at the 20 odd million for him though and buy a replacement for the middle of the park. Even get a swap deal with Beckham to return.

Yeah thats a point pete, the ball was like a bowling ball in them days

Ladbrokes Craig. Henry at 12/1.

Cheers for the info guys! I'll just wait and see will i?

I thought about Neville but they will look at Terry for the long term and he;s younger. Becks is still playing on coz he wants to get to 100 caps.

Bold decision from Beckham and probably the right one. I actually think with the pressure off him he could do a better job just playing football now. But it could also see him losing his regular place. Contenders for next captain Colshy?? Terry Ferdinand Gerrard I prefer a captain to be a defender so would give it to Terry but he was a shadow of the Terry we saw in the EPL in the last 2 years. Gerrard would be an equally good captain.

All the games from now on are at 3am for me! Nightmare!

Beakenbauer and Cruyff would be the next 2 in the all time 5 but not Matthaus, he'd be top 10 though. Agree with Craig, Zidane can turn it on and produce that little bit extra. 1) Maradona 2) Pele 3) Zidane 4) Cruyff 5) Beckenbauer

Ive got money on Germany now, but just want the best team to win it. Italy v Germany is going to be a cracker. And id like to see France in the final so its an attractive match but Scolari is a winner so its open! But France will win

What happens if the top scorers at the WC are joint? Do the bookies still pay out? I.e. If Klose and Henry both finish with 5 goals and Ive Henry on.

Just watched the Brazil v France re-run and have to say Zidane played out his skin! IMO he's definatly in the top 5 all time best players and maybe comes 3rd behind Maradona and Pele.

Germany 7/4 France 7/4 Italy 3/1 Portugal 6/1 Italy isnt a bad bet! I backed Germany on friday before the Argentina game, but i fancy the French to go on and win it. Portugal got a lot of stick from the english media for not playing good football, thats a bit rich coming from them. I think Portugal are a good footballing side but they missed Deco against England. Im going for a Germany v France final.

Who's Ponroy BTW??

I think England will be better with McLaren if he gets the players respects (coz he was a hit or a mis appointment). I dont think he will be as negative as Sven and wont be afraid to make changes or play players like Lennon. If he gets the right staff (Shearer / Venebles) then i cant not seeing them do well.

I had a sneaky feeling about France before the WC started. How can anyone write Thuram, Zidane, Vieira and Henry off?

Im not surprised with France winning at all, they have been improving every game. They arguably still have the best midfield in the world despite it ageing but they should they can still rise to the occasion. I fancy them to get into the final.

Im ashamed of you Holly!!! :D Rooooooooooooooney!!!!!!!

Agreed Craig, they just were not positive enough from day 1. They had positive players in Lennon, Joe Cole, Downing, Walcott etc who didnt get a looking bar Joe Cole. They should of played there best players instead of relying on reputations. They all said we want to have no excuses this time round but they didnt even turn up, they were a average side all way through. Agreed about Hargreaves aswell on your other post he was englands best player.

Ssshh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....................... Lampard's fat, fatter than me You've only been fans since 2003

Penalties! At least we'll see some shots at goal now!! I fancy England

Boringish game, england have been slightly better coz they have been up against better opposition. Portugal have missed Deco. Rooney was stupid to have a kick out at the player. I can see pens in this game.

There's only one Jorge Cadetey He's got hair like spaghetti He's portugease but we'll support his teeam walking a cadetey wonderland

Germany will play Italy in the semi's In the other i honeslty think it will be France v England but i hope its France v Portugal! France will win the world cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol, he was saying none of us drink in dundee! We try to avoid it if we can! BTW arent we building a new by-pass from aberdeen to glasgow that avoids dundee!!
