sounds like belgium should be qualifying then,in the next couple of tournaments

trouble is europe is a tough place to play your football

Vanden Borre, there was a lot of presure on him from a very young age. He kinda snapped and never reached his full potential, there is still time for him though.

Lukaku is still 16, 17 in May.

I'm hoping Advocaat is the man who brings us back to a respectabel side, but the draw for euro 2012 isn't Easy. Germany (they alway qualify), Turkey (with Hiddink as Manager), Austria (they aren't pushovers), AZerbaijan , Kazakhstan (far far far away). We'll see how things work out.

England seems to have an easy group, correct?

yes well the germans will qualify

but you surely have a chance with the turks and austrians,if you have a decent manager like advocatt

wow still 16yr

the players maybe too young then,but they sound like a good crop coming through

:D silly japan

100 students versus a pro team.

That's what I meant, the English teams are doing poorly relative to how well they would be doing if the exchange rate was better.

I presume everyone was glued to their tellies for the big Ireland vs. Brazil game. 2-0 to Brazil. They were pretty poor in the first half but turned it on in the second and scored an amazing second goal.

Decent performance from England there, on the whole

That reminds me of school matches in recess, anyway, from what I saw those kids play good xD

^ Bendtner added a whole lot of competition for that trophy today :D

i cant believe this man plays for such a good team when he is useless!!! can any1 inform me why he is in the team? (and dont say van persie is injured)

come on reading,hold out

at least get back to villa park

Well... 2-2

Villa just dominated the last 6 Minutes.
