Win the next one and that's a pretty strong result for the three gamesWhen is the last time that happened? I really cannot remember. Nearly always put in a damp squib of an effort. First game in 66 we started poorly. First game in 96 we started poorly and nearly every word cup or Euro we put in a poor performance and have to rectify it.
Wouldn't it be nice if just for once we could put in 3 good group stage performances.
Between him an Neville its like the chuckle brothers.Get in Daniel!
Is it bad that the fans know more than Hodgson?
In a way we were lucky Bale scored just before half time, if we had gone in at 0-0 there is no way Hodgson would have changed it. At half time Hodgson was as good as sacked so it was his last chance saloonGreat second half. You can blame Roy for not picking the right team but how many city games have we seen where its been obvious what change needs making but the manager hasn't done it. At least Roy made the change and made it early enough to have an impact.
Be interesting to see who he starts with for the next game.
It was good to see NI win and I did enjoy the second goal where he should have run into the corner.
Well if both of your parents are born in Africa but you are born in France, you can play for France but you are still as African as anyone can be. And no, you don't have to be a citizen of a country to play for that country. Plenty of players play for a country because they have one grand-parent born there.I'm certain that to play for a country you must be a citizen and therefore in this case be French. I don't know what more you're getting at...

Just spotted there have only been 10 first half goals in 19 games so far. Think i'll start tuning in from half time from now on!
There is a rule, or used to be, called 'ungentlemanly (maybe now unsportsmanlike) conduct.'If other teams pick up on that they'll have to bring in a new rule for time wasting. No idea how you'd word it but if they don't stamp that out it will get worse and worse. You'll end up with someone taking the ball to the corner with his teammates around him just standing there for 10 minutes!
Used to hate that in Sunday league, only one thing for it. Go through both of them and calmly get up and walk off without saying a word.Italian/ Sweden game. Never seen that before, is it a new phenomenon?
Italy trying to kill the game off, take the ball to the corner flag. One player stands with the ball right by the corner flag and then a second player stands right behind him, no more than a inch or two apart, almost like they are in a queue, so that the defender can't get anywhere near the ball, having to try and go through the second player to get to the first player.
Don't like the ball to the corners anyway, but this would make it doubly (no pun intended) frustrating.
First time I have ever witnessed it.
So it's not new then?Used to hate that in Sunday league, only one thing for it. Go through both of them and calmly get up and walk off without saying a word.
