I voted for Barry twice. Caught me on a particularly dick-ish morning.

As much as bandit is an idiot, he's right when he says that Germany around the turn of the millennium was utter AIDS.

I wish I were good with words, too. This is pretty much exactly what I was trying to say in my responses to Dean.

Stongest national team compared with previous England teams maybe, but not relative to their opposition.

So unless in your book Germany/Spain/France/Holland/Argentina weren't considered rivals you're wrong. And as I alredy mentioned England played well vs Brazil in 2002 and were very unlucky to lose.

Heskey and Barmby played in that game. That was just a freakish night and we still almost managed to balls up qualifying. Beckham's free kick saved us.

FFS, the ROI beat Germany the other night. That doesn't mean they should win something.

Using Heskey and Barmby as examples only makes your argument worse and comparing the ROI result to England 5-1 Germany is laughable bad. Any side can win a one off game I.E ROI but this is the first I've heard of a lucky 5-1 win which might be the greatest stretch in the history of this forum to defend an argument.

Common mistake, I do it a lot, to say should've instead of could've after the event. England could've beaten Brazil. They are never should've.

You go through the list of players and yea kind of even, england might edge this actually - then the last 3 names = never should've.

Owen was actually current balon d'or though.

Serious question for those who are old enough: was this always the case, or is it a byproduct of the internet?

Is there anything better than listening to a Scot speak? Nicol and Burley could be having the stupidest conversation in history and I'll catch myself nodding and smiling.

I'll apologize again for my rude tone however.

yeah I objected to the "sure it'd be a better atmosphere if the poors could afford to get in to the games because they seem to actually care about the sport, but they can't afford it because they're too stupid so *** them" aspect of your quoted post as it was not only unnecessarily nasty but also a bad argument. You've apologised for the tone, so I'll withdraw my "scumbag" line and we can all be nice to each other.

And yes, in a bizarre paradox I can reveal I am a lifelong tory voter. I won't bore anyone with my reasoning.

I never said the 5-1 was lucky. I said it was a freakish result. For once, England played to their golden generation potential and Germany fell apart completely.

The epitome of a one off game, as the struggle to qualify despite that game proved.

Derbies are the biggest games of the year and always have been. Nothing to do with the fact you can wind up your mates who support the other team.

lol at thinking it was brought on by the internet, jfc

I may be wrong but I'm under the impression that the Torries haven't gone off the deep end the way American Republicans have (you can't even call them conservatives at this point). I think there are perfectly valid motivations for voting conservative if that's what the party actually is. Personally I don't feel that I have such a choice at this time in the States.
