Debate the intent of the handball last night if you want but to suggest changing the suspension half way through a world cup is laughable and embarassing :oops: The rules are the rules and they do not allow for changes depending on the circumstances of the indescretion and ye seem to think cos it was in the last minute of extra time in a world cup quarter final that he should be treated differently to a player that does the same thing 10 minutes into a league two match next season :o :roll:

Don't think there will be any point in changing the rules after the fact where Suarez is concerned, once you allow that you open a nasty can of worms that will probably get legally challenged by clubs.

I would say Suarez's comments afterwards makes him a bit of a scum bag. At least Henry had the sense to keep his head down. Glorifying what he did is just taking the piss.

Guarantee you if he comes up against a Ghanaian in European club competition or in the Eredivisie there will be bound to be some afters :box:

Schweinsteiger has been amazing, Germany now 3-0 up.

LOL at his Wikipedia entry though:
Schweinsteiger initially lost his place in the starting eleven when he turned up to training as Harry Potter and tried to put a spell on the manager.

3 and easy.

BTW where the f is everybody.....probably out in the sun...got a cold(man-flu apparently) so stuck at home while the family is out.
Good game though. Inter and the Germans hae shown exactly what to do with Messi...crowd him out and he's about as effective as Jeffers :roll:

''She must be a Wag'' ah no mate she's one of the most famous actresses in the world...doh.. :oops: :lol:



The Germans :)

4-0 :shock: WOW...

Big respect to the Germans, they have been a revelation in this tournament.
A great advert for team football, a group of good players, not 'stars' and primadonnas, in a well organised unit, with individuals playing to their peak..

I hope Capello is taking note they are definitely a model worth emulating...

I know it's the wrong thread but I hope the link with Mertesacker and us is for real and Wenger and the board do it because I can see him forming a formidable partnership with the Verminator. A no nonsense defender prepared to put his body and face on the line


Wenger sign him up :barscarf:

Hats off to Klose aka "the late bloomer" for making it into the history books, shame we never signed him when we had the chance.
