If they used a slur vs me I wouldn't really care unless its like Racial. Argies is a common term used by lots of non argentines...

Yeah, that's why when you type that word in Wikipedia it redirects you to "ethnic slurs" list, right?

The following is a list of ethnic slurs (ethnophaulisms) that are, or have been, used as insinuations or allegations about members of a given ethnicity or to refer to them in a derogatory (critical or disrespectful), pejorative (disapproving or contemptuous), or insulting manner in the English-speaking world

3-0, didnt bother watching tbh, sounds like we played well though, Crouch on form


You cant relly knock Crouch... he will be going to SA I feel.


 he should be.....i couldn't understand why you wouldn't take a guy who is 6'6 or whatever he is.....he must come in handy somewhere....

you managed to get unbanned......i thought we were going to miss you at the weekend......

New FIFA ranking: http://es.fifa.com/worldfootball/ranking/lastranking/gender=m/fullranking.html

Im surprised Argentina is 6, well, we made it into the top 20, and even if I think this ranking doesnt show the true level of national teams, its nice.



The shit rankings strike again. How on earth did Serbia fall when they qualified first in their group. Specially when France rose...

I'll never understand these rankings, they're horrible




Yeah, they suck actually, its like if you are france or a big football country the lowest you can fall is 20.

Or look it another way. Croatia is 8th. They went up. And they won't go to the WC. FAIL




whats crazy about the rankings.........serbia lost their last game and france won theirs...thats how they do it...game by game....

the top 7 are the powerhouses of world football.........

there is another world football ranking....because someone posted it up somewhere iw as once and it was better...but i can't remember what is was now....

Collins...2-1...Villa lead!
