I think when Zidane retired, Henry took over his mantle. I don't think any of Henry and his pals are overly fussed at Zidane having come back from retirement to save the day.

Zidane picks the team, apparently. It's why Barthez plays ahead of Coupet. If you think our club is an old boys network it's nothing compared to the French national side. 148614[/snapback] Not anymore apparently, according to the R5 commentary last night. Supposedly the power has shifted to Henry with Gallas and Thuram as his back-ups. Hence the argument with Zidane and those two last night looking even more like there was a split in the camp.

Brazil were poor last night, but they'll get better. I still fancy them to win all their group games. That should be Ronaldo's last game though - he was absolutely awful and for the most part it was due to a total lack of interest or effort. Disgraceful.

Shame Renton, because I think its scary that people are happy to see terrorists free on the streets of the UK 148407[/snapback] If you have no intelligence you can't help but let potential terrorists roam the streets ffs. Are you dizzy yet? 148413[/snapback] No. I think you should call it inadequate legislation. How would you know there is "no intelligence" ? 148422[/snapback] How can you bring legislation against terrorists when you don't know who the fuck the vast majority of them are? 148518[/snapback] Can't you read ? Do you try to understand anything ? How do YOU know they don't know who the terrorists are ? 148535[/snapback] And so we enter a new phase of circular arguing....

Brazil are making Croatia look a decent side tonight. Still expect Brazil to get better as the tournament goes on though.

The fucking idiot twice mistook Ronaldinho for Ze Roberto 5 minutes ago as well.

I do get what you mean though. My Brazil/Italy fixation goes back to being a kid. I'm not picking any new second teams from this tournament because the rest of them just I look at them as potential opponents.

They were never 2-0 up were they? I thought the most we were was a goal down at any one time.

Religious crackpot tbh. Sat singing hymns in her house. Insane in the membrane!

its only a bit of fun to adopt a team or two for the world cup, makes it a bit more interesting...we're not asking you to pledge your undying love for them and get their national flag tatooed on your arse 148446[/snapback] Hung from a dildo like a flagpole and planted in his piehole at a minimum tbh.

He blatantly dropped Desailly in the shit earlier when he turned to him and said "...and you tell me Henry doesn't like to play with Trezeguet." As Desailly sort of squirmed in his seat, O'Neill follows up with "....I'm not giving away any secrets here, am I?"

One in, two out. The Leazes Mag motto.

Who is this mystery guest?

I always love watching Brazil and would never begrudge them winning the tournament if England aren't going to. I also like watching Italy, although I think the idea of Italian football is often better than the reality.

Looks like there's trouble in the French camp the way Zidane, Gallas and Thuram were having a go there!

Fucking shite this game like!? I hope Brazil aren't this disappointing later.

The only one laughing will be the successful suicide bomber.

Someone should create a Wikipedia entry for Leazes Mag/NE5 tbh.

It's supposed to be a lot cooler on Thursday for England's game. Down to 13 degrees or so with a bit of rain. Canny.

i'm still waiting for the team name off you ! 148313[/snapback] I never set one up in the end due to lack of demand.

The evil-doers are already amongst us.

I'll have a look from home tonight. Will defo join in though.

Aye, it's a much greater achievement to run an underperforming team in front of a full ground. 148302[/snapback] And you tell people not to bite over in General Chat. Hook, line and sinker tbh 148306[/snapback] Silence!

You might have better luck with this one. I suggested one that cost them a fiver each. You should have seen them all scatter.
