Speedball championships coming soon!

Better than Scotland. Or Greece or Egypt or Tunisia or Poland recently What is better? The fact that they qualify. Are there teams from CONCAF that don't qualify who have more than 11 registered footballers. You would like to compare Honduras with Liberia? Or the Congo with Jamaica? No, the USA with Greece etc. And I think there are quite few more African nations than Carribean islands... 35 members of CONCACAF 50 members of CAF 45 members of AFC 12 members of OFC (Incl. Australia) 52 members of UEFA 10 members of CONMEBOL Aren't it 55 of CAF? And most members of CONCACAF are as big as Jersey or the Isle of Man... But that's not the question anyway. The USA will qualify for the World Cup for the 100 years as they don't have any real competition apart from Mexico. So to compare their success with the success of Greece etc. recently is hilarious tbh. And Viana is not a holding midfielder. Comparing their success at the world cup is different to comparing it qualifying for the world cup.

agreed, same as Oceana. I propose the winner of the CONCACAF plays the winner of the Oceanic region for the right to play the team who finishes 5th in South America. Can't leave out both Mexico and the US, sorry. Mexico is too good to leave out and they can't beat the US.

The side truly did underperform. Why Arena chose to go with a clearly unfit Beasely and to play a left winger at left back and a 4-5-1 with a striker whose primary virtue is making his partner look good I'll never know. It was a shambles to say the least. That being said, I don't think it was as bad as the results spoke to. The loss to the Czechs was fully deserved--we didn't even try to play after that first goal; heads just hit the chests. (I think the Czechs would have done much better in the tournament if Koller hadn't got injured) The Italy game was a better performance-- 1-1 with nine men-- but WHY when down to 9 men don't you use ALL THREE subs??? The Ghana game was a case of being raped by the referee. Twice.

agreed, same as Oceana. Lump them in with Asia. Fuck the costs. FIFA can cover it. Same with CONCACAF--lump them in with CONMEBOL.

I'd also like to point out the difference of South and Central America and Africa versus Europe and Asia. European teams complain about playing in Turkey.

I'd say scrap all the regional stuff, but it'd be too expensive for a lot of federations.

First reply. Obsessed tbh.

I get five weeks a year.

Beats the fuck out of me. I take all my holiday time.

I would expect it to be people going home a bit later than that--9:00 my time is 3:00 GMT. If you lot spend all your time at work posting here and are only there until 1500 then its a wonder the British economy hasn't collapsed!

The forum always dies some time around 9:00 AM my time. There's good discussion up until then and then nothing.

Waterworld on land tbh.

Funnier the first time tbh.

That was JFK. True story an'all. Kevin Costner doens't even look like JFK!

He tried an English accent but it was so bad the director told him not to bother. I'll forgive him as it's the best film ever made. Cary Elwes was a better Robin Hood tbh.

Stabbing with a broken wine glass? Seems a bit OTT even for a made up story.

Playercamtastic. I can't imagine anyone persevering with Playercam for more than 30 seconds, tops. I said the same to wor lass when I heard about the Zidane one. I meant that and the George Best one btw Zath. The NY Cosmos one sounds canny good.

The Cosmos one is actually quite interesting. Giorgio Chinaglia was a right shit (still is the stock-fixing cunt)
