World Cup is here

[pstall]

I'm trying to set up a "meeting" at this pub nearby. For coaching of course.

Alright, USA. All I ask is for a solid, full game of football. We need a win, not a solid great half of football and a tie.

[Britneck]

Which will make it all the more hilarious when they lose to the Germans in the first round. Germany 5, England 1, revenge will be had. :lurk5:

1 World Cup 2 World wars.

Good luck today guys. Hope we both win. A lot of hate for England now on this board.

No. That left back isn't a mistake, he's actually starting.

Edit: Heh, I don't hate England. I just think the press reacts hilariously. Crouch is actually my favorite player.

Reading more about this France thing, though the original source of this is The Mirror, so take it with a grain of salt.

It seems Ribery had set up a night out for the French team, at a venue of Ribery's choice, which unsurprisingly turned out to be a Gentlemen's Club.

Yoann Gourcuff said he just wanted to chill out and watch TV that night but he was fine with everyone going without him. This pissed Ribery off, inspiring him to ask "Will your mother not all you to go you homosexual slut?"

These two don't get along to begin with, Ribery doesn't like Gourcuff because he's quiet and thoughtful -- that'd be funny if it wasn't true, Ribery thinks Gourcuff is snotty because of this, but by most accounts he's just introverted.

Anyway, that was apparently one of the flashpoints.

The "homosexual" mark is totally unconfirmed but it has come from several sources.

The same Ribery that's going to jail for fuging an underage prostitute?

Haha. I know it's great. They build them up for 4 years then bring them back down when the fail. Crouch is my favorite as well. He scores a lot of international goals and for some reason he isn't starting.

Indeed.

The Irish Times did a piece on the Gourcuff resentment. http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/sport/2010/0623/1224273110084.html

Bornstein behind Dempsey could be real bad. If we're getting a lot of chances and Dempsey presses the attack that leaves a very vulnerable left side.

I think the idea is to be agressive early then readjust the back and sit tight to move on.

[JakeFlake]

Wow.... Bornstein instead of Gooch.

Gooch has bene like Fred Smoots lately. Hmm

Goochsdaddy1989?

[tarheelblue89]

LOVE the move. Gooch has been bad.

LETS fuging GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we've been terrible in central defense, but I'd have tried to remedy it by doing a straight swap with Goodson for Onyewu and defending deeper. Bornstein gets exposed so much it makes me nervous as hell.
