dbsweeney 0 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) Løvenkrands is not in the squad because of his dad's dead earlier this year. Is that the reason the Danish FA gave for not choosing him? That's a bit odd. Anyway, welcome to the board ... and your English is great (and a lot better than 90% of the posts here). We're playing against you in one of the friendlies leading up to the Cup ... I'm Aussie, so I'll be interested to see how we stack up against each other. I have a feeling the Danes will be better than us ... Edited May 18, 2010 by dbsweeney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2207 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Gary Neville bitter as fuck that he hasn't been selected and Liverpool defenders have... Gary Neville questions Fabio Capello's World Cup squad Gary Neville has questioned England manager Fabio Capello's decision to pick Liverpool's Glen Johnson as his sole right-back for the World Cup. Johnson has established himself as England's first-choice right-back under Capello, but suffered an injury-interrupted second half of the season. And Neville said: "I'm surprised there is only one right-back in the squad." Neville also labelled attempts to lure Paul Scholes out of international retirement "a bit desperate". Despite failing in his attempt to bring Scholes back into the England fold, Capello did persuade Liverpool's Jamie Carragher to return to the squad three years after his own international retirement. And although Carragher has played the majority of his career at centre-back, his ability to cover either full-back position was seemingly key in Capello's decision to overlook Manchester United's Neville and Wes Brown. However, Neville argued that Brown, who started at right-back when England beat Egypt in their last fixture as Johnson recovered from knee ligament damage, was unlucky to miss out. "I wouldn't say I'm overly disappointed not to be named in the initial 30-man squad, although I did think there was maybe a chance I could get in," added Neville, who made 15 Premier League starts last season but failed to add to his 85 England caps. "I'm probably more surprised Wes Brown isn't in the 30, to be honest." Scholes, who retired from international football in 2004, appeared set for a return of his own before eventually rejecting Capello's overtures. And Neville admitted that courting Scholes made sense, even if it was unlikely to succeed. "I'm not surprised Capello tried to get him out of retirement because if there's one player I would try to pull out of retirement it's Scholes," Neville said of his team-mate and fellow 35-year-old. "Capello maybe got a bit desperate at the last minute and wanted Scholes because he's still probably the best midfielder in England, but Scholes decided to stick to his guns." Meanwhile, Manchester City have confirmed that midfielder Gareth Barry has been sleeping in an oxygen tent in an attempt to speed up his recovery from an ankle injury. Capello remains hopeful that Barry will be fit for England's second World Cup group game against Algeria on 18 June. Before that the Italian is set to assess defenders Ledley King and Jamie Carragher in the sold-out friendly against Mexico at Wembley on 24 May. Neither have played for England since the end of Steve McClaren's reign in 2007. Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/w...010/8689245.stm What an absolute helmet! I don't think what he says is that contentious. It probably says more about the lack of a RB alternative to Johnson than it does about Neville or Brown's credentials imo. I think the main thing that probably counted against them was lack of first team action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Gary Neville taking a chance to big up only Manchester United players and sling dirt in the direction of only the Liverpool players isn't contentious when his utter hatred towards them is well known?

We're playing against you in one of the friendlies leading up to the Cup ... I'm Aussie, so I'll be interested to see how we stack up against each other. I have a feeling the Danes will be better than us ... According the Danish medias it was his own decision. This is what he said in March: "Should Morten Olsen select me to the world cup squad, would I have to say no thanks... I will not be able to cope with a world cup in that condition i'm in now." http://tv2sport.dk/node/51566 I think that the most of the Danes without a doubt would prefer to see Løvenkrands in the squad, even if he has played quite bad at the national team... But I don't think Morten Olsen likes him anyway. And then Morten Olsen always uses the same players. He has for example chosen Søren Larsen who has only played a few games in the German 2. Bundesliga the last half year, but not Løvenkrands (16 gls.) or Mads Junker (21 gls. in the Dutch Eredivisie).... We're playing against you in one of the friendlies leading up to the Cup ... I'm Aussie, so I'll be interested to see how we stack up against each other. I have a feeling the Danes will be better than us ... I don't know that much about Australian football, but I think it will be a tight game... Maybe with a little advantage to Denmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Glad to see Colo's been dropped. Stays fit and under the radar. I'm sure Ashley wouldn't have knocked back any offers if he'd been in the shop window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine 11377 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 The Argentina coach Diego Maradona insulted an injured cameraman after accidentally running over his leg ahead of announcement of the albiceleste World Cup squad. Driving to yesterday's news conference in Buenos Aires, the 1986 World Cup winner was surrounded by journalists. One was hit and he fell to the ground. According to a witness, Maradona's car rolled over the lower part of the cameraman's leg. "What an asshole you are," Maradona shouted from the car. "How can you put your leg there where it can get run over, man?" Paramedics attended to the cameraman, who was taken away for further treatment. The 49-year-old coach then delivered the names of the 23-man squad for the World Cup to the media. Maradona's World Cup preparation was disrupted in March when he needed minor facial surgery after being bitten by his dog.

Barney 0 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 you know what press photographers are like, though. He was probably speeding into somewhere with 50 cameramen surrounding his car with the flash going off in his eyes. Or possibly off his tits on coke and aimed for him. Oh, Diego.
