World Football Thread XVII : Champions League Final and beyond..

[Winston]

Wow. In tonight's crucial Euro qualifier in Copenhagen, Denmark was down by 3 against Sweden after 25 minutes, tied it 3-3, and then in the last minute, some moron enters the field and attacks the ref, who then declares a Danish loss by 0 - 3.

For shame!

Yeah, Smith and Lumpy were poor. England tackled fairly well and showed some spirit, but that was about all. Brazil dominated and didn't deserve to lose.

Lampard showing once again he's out of his depth at International level, neither tackling back or creating opportunities, what exactly is his role? To make Gerrard look even better?

Whilst Beckham, despite his age, can still create something from nothing. And provided our best chance of the match so far.

Smith has also been useless.

Who scored that goal again?

Turn sound on.

It would be nice to see him get to 100 and he deserves it.

[Maquiladora]

I think we will be at Euro 08, yes.

You think England will be at Euro 08?

I agree, Beckham would be in the squad and have played some part against Brazil no matter what happened to Lennon. There was far too much pressure on McClaren not to pick him.

If he can keep playing close to where he is now, I'd like to see him get his 100 caps and retire after Euro 08.

Beckham's recent play would have warranted it no matter what Lennon's status.

And especially considering McClaren's record as England skipper.

Will be interesting to see if he still gets called up after the move.

Superb play lately for Real Madrid, earns a call up to the English side, and in a few short weeks will be playing for the LA Galaxy .

Apparently it's a legit practice in Spain to offer players of another team bonuses in case of victory against a third team?

10th cup title for Bruges.
