Brazil did it again, won without effort and got happy with just winning 1-0


a virtually FULL STRENGTH brazil against an england side with probably ONE first choice player....

meaningless.

Maybe, but I think the result wouldve been similar with all england players.

 Thats the way they play, they would beat peru 1- 0 if peru wanted to defend themselves and they would beat italy or any other strong team too with the same score, its  like the way Dunga wants them to play and why people critize them because they dont show, but I still think they are the best team now.

Wow, that wasn't even the England second team out tonight, so I think 1-0 was pretty good to be honest. I mean come on... Milner, Foster, Jenas, Upson, Brown, Barry, Bent... Whilst these guys are extremely talented, they are still essentially second string (Barry IS second string imo).

LOL would you have said that 1-2 years ago  

I think Milner and Bent are potentially first team. 

Er.... No.

Oh, I think New Zealand also qualified, but Im not sure.

Of course they did.

Yeah, I'm getting behind Ireland on this one too. Less competition for the world cup lol.

Plus it'd really stick it to Fifa.

2 or 3 upsets would really show them.

I don't know what's up with Fifa.  They keep changing rules mid tournament.

 

Like what's up wht the Egypt V Algeria change.

I mean, the way the tiebreak would be decided is stupid... but it's the tiebreak that was in the rules.


There should be NO playoff.

Well looks like Ireland are fucked once again, even though we actually played fairly well and got a bit unlucky. France were muck first half but took us to school in the second. There's still hope though
