At least we can have another laugh at Maradona tonight, the man is so mental, he's a legend (after 24 years I can forgive the handball!) The reserves will probably play tonight, but Aguero and Milito are hardly second rate strikers!! Greece will be their usual dour selves but I'm backing an Argie win, 2-1 I reckon.

Yes!

Lineker and Hansen pick their England team for tomorrow.

Churchill dog looking stroke face Redkuntt says "I, personally, not because he plays for me, but Aaron Lennon gives you pace"
Hansen "He was sooo poor against Algeria though, it was like he was out of his depth against Algeria"
Redkunnt: "Well, he's capable on his day, and like most wingers, consistency, and you know, you gotta get him in the game, you know, but he can open defences and personally I would pick him"
Shearer: "There's only so long you can give people opportunities - he's had two games now"

Just getting back to the France game , how badly does that bode for us defense wise for the new season, even allowing for the fact Gallas in all probability won't be around . What ever about Diaby and his reasonable showing to date , he was horribly out of sorts defense wise for both the SA
goals . A lot of peoples first choice as a new keeper Lloris ,was like flappy in disguise several times during that game and this is not a recent slight in his keeping skills . For the first time in a while Gourcuff impressed me and had a vision of him in a gooners jersey jumping against Gomez No 1 . :twisted:
Shame he wasn't on longer , seems he more than most was suffering from the Balls up that was their National team .
Not Arsenal related ( Although , do y'all remember than he was being touted as a signing a few months ago ) but that Gignac is a waste of space.
Just a lardier Kevin Davies with a bigger Arse :)

I can't believe Gourcuff has been sent off. It wasn't intentional, and the guy was knock out, 1min later he was running like a rabbit, what the fuck?!!
10 against 11, with the mental frailties we've got at the moment (some players asked to not play after another argument before the game) it was impossible to come back.

Evra said he'll talk in the days to come and he's very angry about Domenech who didn't let him talk in the last press conference. Henry aswell said he'll talk soon. The saga isn't over ..

This is going to run and run Vince .
All the Skeletons are going to come out of the cupboard and Paris Match is
gonna have its Front Page filled with the WC post Morton for a long time .
If those rumours are true about Ribery being the ring leader in bullying Gourcuff , he should be dropped from the National Team for a few years .
Paedo Creep :)

The players were in their own world, they thought it was the right decision. Now they are aware of the impact of their attitude during the WC, they are all apologizing for what they did (on and off the pitch). Players are criticized a lot at the moment, and maybe the deserve it, but they are not the only responsible. The french federation has been shit for a while and they let the situation get worst until this world cup. A lot of things will change in french football.

Now it's up to Laurent Blanc to pick the players he wants. If he thinks guys like Evra and Ribery can still be in France team, he'll pick them.

In France many people are sad for Henry because it was probably his last game with France against SA. During this world cup he has lost his armband and he didn't play much (while he was still the best striker in the squad). He would have deserved a better testimonial. He said he will talk soon (about this WC), it will be interesting to hear what he has to say.
