germany has won 7 euro/wcs?

i guess god has a funny sense of humour

2006 Germany had a strong team. Lahm and Schweini were breaking through. Eriksson didn't choose enough strikers for the 23-man squad so I think that was their weak point. I agree about the late 90s through 2004 England was stronger. That's actually when Germany started doing serious work changing their youth system, and in 2014 it finally paid off.

I wasn't admitting I was wrong, just that maybe we were both right.

i could send woy a link to the bayern/dortmund pokal semi, that should solve things

Pretty certain England are not a unique case - DUCY?

not as high-profile but this might be the funniest shootout ever

(yes those are professional teams)

cool, now i know the german for "this video is not available in your country because reasons"

When do the rescheduled dates for LIV-EVE and NEW-MCI become known?

link? Disappointed it's not available outside germany, wtf. It really is a joy to watch imo.

not sure, but it should be fairly easy to work out given:
- plop and city are still in europe which take up at least two/three midweeks respectively
- can't rearrange either for the cup weekend as city/norwich was scheduled for that weekend anyway, and everton are still in
- can't play in the international break

wait, checking on the cup, are they really playing arse/hull v watford four days after the replay from the previous round? that's really quite short notice

lol Leeds

Gosh, that's a genuine dry bumming.

I think their only other option would've been to replay Arse/Hull on the day of the next round. As is, UEFA is fining FA for playng cup games on the day of Champions League.

Random quiz question: How many World Cups has Walcott been chosen to and how many minutes has he played of World Cup football?

gonna say 2 world cups and 35 minutes

3 world cups

26 minutes

2006, 2010, 2014?

Played 0 minutes in 06, lol even taking him

10 group stage so probably 20minutes there

14 don't recall him playing, was he injured?

:thumbup::thumbup:

I don't think Walcott was taken to the 2010 World Cup because he was injured during the previous season and also Lennon's form.

never played at a world cup has he, always been injured or 9 years old

England have zero chance because of Hodgson, he's not the worst manager but he's not elite, nowhere near.

He said the other week Rooney will play for England, he's our most important player at the Euros, it's depressing. Any forward thinking manager wouldn't even include him in the squad.

It's going to make me cry seeing that England lineup with Rooney up top on his own and Kane/Vardy on the bench. Hodgson is going to think he's so clever leaving Vardy on the bench, bring him on the last 20 when the defenders are tired and we can use his pace!!

But instead, the other team will be defending deep 1-0 up, his pace will be useless at this point and we go out and Hodgson will be dumbfounded as to what went wrong.

That performance by England in one of the weakest ever groups at a World Cup, if not THE weakest in my lifetime was criminal.

The decision to play Gerrard in a 2 man midfield after he must have been exhausted from the big Liverpool season and gutted about his slip, it was an unforgivable decision.

Yeah I mean correct answer is 1 World Cup squad Walcott has been included to and has played 0 minutes.

2006 he was included at 17yo cos Eriksson made a blunder selecting him instead of a striker.

2010 he was not included, which Capello admitted later he made a mistake.

2014 long-term injury which kept him out.
