I should be watching and cheering on Scotland v Croatia tonight, but because of the frenzied state the English sports media is working itself into, and all because David Beckham looks like winning his 100th cap for England against France....

God... who feckin cares...? I'll be watching this one instead of Scotland, hoping and praying that Becks misses a penalty, scores an og, then gets sent off...

C'mon the French....  :022:

it was quite catchey ...........

mariush nicoliy

FT 3-0.  Marius with the last goal.  The Russians didnt look interested at all after the first went in just before the hafl, MAriuis was very comfortable and never wasted the ball, took his chance well.  I'd give him  :003: :003: :003: :003: smilies for the second half performance.

Now how are the 14th team in the world getting on... oh look, we're losing to Croatia  :017:

Was 100% Marius mate.

delighted for Niculae, as tm4tj says get him the right service and there she blows

wonder if Brew was at the game  :024:

Good result for Burley all things considered with the dropouts/fannies.  I wish that Fletcher got played in his natural position think he is a player in the making

will we go ahead of England in the rankings now we drew with the team beat them last and we were the last team to beat France? Doubt it

Some spanking goals last night, none better than David Villa's volley for Spain, right in the top corner swerving off the outside of his left foot as the ball dropped from a great height about twenty yards, superb strike.  Karogounis scored two spectacular goals as Greece beat Portugal again, both from free kicks, one direct and one after a short pass, but both thumping high into the net.  Also, good to see Boruc shipping three as USA humped the Poles.  Holland staged a great comeback to pip Austria 3-4, Jim Vinegar getting one of them.  Good old Ribery, some cheer on a gloomy week as England flopped again.  Result of the night was Malta 7-1 Lichstenstein..........lookout Brazil, who incidentally beat Sweden in London 1-0, the keeper losing the ball on his left touchline as he attempted to hoof it, and Alexandre Pato being quick witted enough to curl the ball home from the wing from maybe 18 yards from the goal line.  Germans starting to come good, thumping the Swiss 0-4 and N Ireland walloping Georgia 4-1, Healy again scoring.  Outside of Europe, Egypt lost out to Argentina 0-2 and Ghana lost 1-2 to Mexico.  Looks like the Americas are pretty strong.

Thought Miller played well for Scotland, and Hutton looked good bursting forward.  The Croats are a quality side though, pretty incisive and maybe should have made more of their opportunities, still, 1-1 against one of the top sides in the world will do for now.

Well done to the U21 who beat Finland 2-1, their first defeat in this campaign.
