money to get a replacement

I won't be on tomorrow (9-5) don't miss me too much. Night

Great, Simon Cox injured again playing a throwaway friendly against Greece.

Thanks FIFA.

England winning 2-1.
Cleverley comes off, Wilshere replaces him.
England lose 4-2.
Therefore Cleverley > Wilshere

In fairness the squad was pretty worn out at that point from playing with effectively 10 men.

Yes because Cleverley was stopping Ibrahimovic

Hodgson referring to Germany as "West Germany"

Joe Hart made a bit of a mess with that header, although 99 times out of 100 nothing happens there.

Joe Hart looked ropey. Cahill is not good enough. And what a goal!

Anyone wanting zouma has until lunch today to post their offers otherwise he's off to lawyers

Where's Hero.

We can discuss which of Susaeta's and David Villa's tap-ins were the best for Spain last night, and showcase their amazing talents

Ignoring Pedro's brilliant two goals.

funny thing is in all the time cleverly was on he pitch the only time I noticed him was his chance early on. Wilshere did much more in a shorter time.

Difference for me was when shawcross and thudd. Didn't deal with ibra at all after that, and thudd wasn't offering the same protection.

Ossie played well though

Great to see Susaeta getting the recognition with the cap to be honest, throughly deserved.

Question of the day:

Have you seen a better goal than Zlatan Ibrahimovic's fourth goal last night? And if so, what is it? In person or televised.

Simon Cox vs Birmingham

If you're going to be blindly biased, at least describe the goal

For sheer quality of goal I've not seen many better, for the occasion and from personal views it was in though then I'd have Giggs v Arsenal in the FA Cup semi 1999 as still my greatest choice.

Greatest goal I've been at which again it was more about the significance of it was the Beckham freekick v Greece to get England to the WC.

Best goal I've ever witnessed was Youssef Safri's 40 yarder against Newcastle.

Yes. Just on overhead kicks alone:

Trevor Sinclair for QPR
Rivaldo for Barca
Rooney for United

Then a menagerie of others:

Bergkamp for Holland vs Argentina
Bergkamp for Arsenal vs Newcastle
Henry vs United (the swivel and lob over Barthez)
Di Canio
Nayim from the halfway line
Several Matty Taylor goals from his Pompey days

And dozens more!

I'd say for quality of goal Ibra's was ahead of Rooney's, Rooney hit it with his shin for a start. The importance of Rooney's was greater though.

Morning guys.

Apprenticeship got moved to after christmas.

On the topic of best goal, it has to be none other than Zidanes goal for Real Madrid against Leverkuzen in the champions league final.

Sorry but the best goal going was:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2ywVLaJtNw

P.S Sorry Olly

Amongst my favourite goals are Henry's v United, Rooney's volley v Newcastle and Zidane's one that Nad mentions.

But the best live has to be the time I flipped a coin with my Man U mate, shall we go see Everton v someone (I forget who) or United v Sunderland. I lost and we went on to witness Cantona's amazing run and chip. Was superb and I was glad I lost the coin toss (I think Everton lost too)

take your pick

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEnWLaJvf64

We stopped at Keele services on the way back, bumping into a coach of Sunderland fans and all they talked about was the goal

Is this chant for real lol???

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaaGUJAwTaY

The best goal I've ever seen live was Tony Scully's 25 yard on-the-run volley, in the 90th minute, to earn Crawley Town a 1-1 draw with Burton Albion in 2006. No footage found, but it was class.

What about Sergio Ramos' free kick last night. That is the hardest side foot I have ever seen.

Don't forget the legendary Roberto Carlos freekick vs France afro. That goal just defies the law of physics.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGeMZ3t8jn4

Silvinho vs Chelsea was pretty special too.

It does, although I do still wonder how much he planned that. Zidane's volley, the technique was out of this world

The worst penalty kick ever!

Topic of the day is needed...

Top five most overrated players?

In these leagues or in general?

Hmm, depends on those that have players that are then picked and spit their dummy out over it! (ie possibly me based on last weeks effort)

There are plenty of players rated on form from two or three seasons ago, who have played plenty of games since and not played anywhere near their rating since.

I wouold include a certain Italian CB in that, but I can actually see him returning to decent form at CB.

Hmm I wonder who you could possibly mean.

top 5 overrated imo

Carrick
Mikel
Busquets
Phil Jones
A Valencia

Best goal I've ever seen was Zola's backheel volley from a corner against Watford (I think it was Watford), Ibra second behind that

can Jenkinson and Zaha still play for Finland and the Ivory coast or did their appearances yesterday deadlock their international career to the mighty England?

nadeem2099 wrote:can Jenkinson and Zaha still play for Finland and the Ivory coast or did their appearances yesterday deadlock their international career to the mighty England?

They can still play for the other countries. Sterling for Jamaica too

They have to play somepart in a competive match rather than a friendly to be tied to England.

And Osman for Turkey as well

IMO Jenkinson should choose Finland over England. England already have their future first choice right back Kyle Walker and you also have to compete with Glen Johnson and Richards for a starting berth. If he chooses Finland than he can be a legend like Vladimir Smicer.
