I hated it when Teddy Sheringham played

I'm like this with Robbie Keane. Just cannot cheer the ex-vermin fucker on.

Definately a penalty for foul on Long.. (well maybe not) I'm starting a campaign to be the 17th team in the last 16 and am refusing to eat Belgian Waffles until justice is done..#jftbig..

You're not John Delaney are you??!!

Cover blown

3 teams that can go through was a daft idea. Teams are just setup to draw games making most of the games a snooze fest

There's no thread for Copa America so I'll update you on the couple Arsenal players in it.

Ospina has been very good for the Columbians, they are in the semi finals vs Chile. Alexis has been the best player in the entire tournament for me. Absolutely bossed Mexico the other night, who had not lost a game in 22 matches. He pretty much had a hand in every single goal (they won 7-0, biggest defeat in Mexican history) and it was in front of 80,000 Mexican fans.

Other semi final is Argentina vs USA. Should set up a nice Chile v Argentina final. Messi has been outstanding as well. The fact that Argentina can start with Messi and Higuain and bring Kun Aguero off the bench is disgusting. Probably the best international team in the world but Chile will give them a run for their money in the final, if it goes that way.

Good stuff thanks for the update

Any side being able to stick Aguero on the bench is lols.

Presumably there is another Copa America because it's the centenary? Complete piss-take in my opinion that they have been allowed to hold it two years running. That is three successive summers of international football tournaments for players that are already playing 50-60 games in the regular season. Particularly ridiculous for Argentina if they reach the final of all 3 (and potentially win none!).

Yep. My first impression was he's a Tarquin!

He does make some valid points though. Too many English fans go to foreign cities and think it's acceptable to offend the locals. But still I would say that even if you add the numbers of actual hooligans to the number of "enablers" (or whatever they want to call the ones that boo national anthems and insult & offend the locals but don't get involved in violence) they would still be the minority of English fans. Well, I hope so anyway.

TBH I reckon it might be time to abandon the concept of these large international football tournaments. They are mostly shit football-wise with little to no quality in the games, and the hooligan shit is well and truly back now that the East Europeans in particular can travel with ease. Nothing against East Europeans par se but their hooligans are now a serious problem and will be for years to come.

If we have to have Interlull football maybe just have small league groups spread out over 4 years with a final (or semis and a final in different countries) at the end, thus avoiding having 100s of thousands of fans from so many countries descending on one single country for 3 weeks.

TBH I would not miss Interlull football at all if it simply disappeared.

But you're fans would not be able to act like street cleaners for a fortnight otherwise.

Damn do-gooders!

Yeah it's the 100 year anniversary so they held one this year as well. I assume the next one will be in 3 years, keeping the original 4 year schedule.

But we do. Everybody likes those red haired and red nosed Guiness drinking people who are always happy and speaks sort of English that no one understands.
