England Tonight

Quoted from Maringer

Messi wouldn't have volleyed it in - he'd have taken it down, dribbled past a couple of players then rolled it in.

Ronaldo would have taken it down and smacked it into the top corner.

Ibrahimovic isn't close to those two, I'm afraid.

Of course not, one is at Real Madrid, one is at Barcelona, and the other is at PSG. No way near close to each other.    

Sorry bad joke.  

But I can't stand Rubber legs Ronaldo.

Like it not footballs changed.

Nowadays it's a lot more about pace and closing down space.
Sure there's still skill on offer but when it comes it comes to brilliance the pickings are slim.

Socrates, George Best and Hoddle were among the best flair players in my book.
Maradona was probably the greatest of all, just a shame he was such a cheating twit.  

I don't know what happened,

We were winning 2-1 and I had to pop out,

When I got back it was 3-2 to them,

I saw the 4th Sweden goal, poor header from Hart but a  one in a million finish by a player I have never rated,

Overall good game, some strange selections by Hodgson and a poor game fro Hart again,

Time for Hart to have a bit of time out to rediscover his best form.

Do you think we might be able to persuade him away from PSG into a Town shirt ?

Yes, he could probably do a job at this level.........

just waiting for some moron on talksport to tell us that ibra is not that good, coz if he was any good he would've played in the premiershite.........

have thought for the last 6-12 months that hart is not as good as the english media make out. international class yes, world class - you're having a laugh. shame we haven't got another friendly - would be interested to see how forster, the celtic keeper got on/

enjoyed it last night - thought there were a lot of positives from a very young, inexperienced team. far more continental in their play - was sooo good to see a lack of aimless punts down the channel or from the keeper.
was impressed with osman - had never really seen him properly before - had dismissed him as just a journeyman premiershite pro; but on that evidence he looked a proper european type player. would have been interesting to see him move abroad - he looked the type of player who would really shine in a more technical league.
sterling did bluddy well for a 17 year old, whilst caulker and cleverley looked at home in that type of football.
caulker and cahill looked the sort of partnership that could be the regular pair for many years
what stood out for more was the pace and mobility  of the team (especially attacking wise) as well as the inclusion of more technically able players.

Quoted from 1600

Incredible, so good I'm taping it.

Years ago used to think Ibrahimovic was overrated.
More recently think he's technically one of the best in the world, even possibly one of the greatest ever.

You can keep your Messi dribbles and your Ronaldo whinges, this is the player I'd want to be.

Hasn't there only been 1 or 2  seasons since he's been playing when he hasn't be in a championship winning side?   quality player.

Osman pleasantly suprised me, he should be a first teamer
