Koller's just a big lump of a guy they can hump the ball up to, remember we had one of those too? Koller actually manages not to miss an open goal though. I think his loss, just like with us, will force the Cxechs into playing a more passing game, and they're not exactly short of players who can stick the ball in the net. If Baros is fit I cant see it making too much difference jnr.

:015: :015: :015: :015:

Go on Ghana!!

I'd prefer Morgan anyway, not only a cracking left winger but an expert set-piece taker aswell

:015: :015:

WOW :010: :010: :010:

I think Argentina have just showed the world how football should be played!!

McBain is better in the centre of the park anyway and Rankin can also play there...

Hoolahan can play both wings as far as I've seen which gives us another option

The only real byline wingers are Morgan and Hoolahan

TBH I think we might give up on Rankin if we can sign Hoolahan and visa versa

Courier Article

fook me his previous manager at shelbourne rates the guy quite highly.... could be a good signing for us!!

CC has already been quoted as saying he is after another forward

France were garbage yesterday! Hnery and Wiltord did the sum of sod all up front, Zidane looked well off colour and I can't see why they have both Viera and Makelele playing the exact same role in the same team.

They were clueless.

The players obviously have talent as they show when they play club football but the formation was terrible.... having a target man who can't head a football???

The only reason this has worked for Arsenal is because players like Ljundberg, Reyes and Pires run past him to give options

Ribery and Wiltord were gash

----------------------Coupet------------------------

Sagnol-------Thuram-------Gallas---------Abidal

----------------------Makelele-----------------------

---------------Zidane------Diarra-------------------

Saha--------------Trezeguet---------------Henry

IMO that team could challenge for the cup

.... and Robinhio on for Ronaldo!!

They were a bit quieter 2nd half but there was no chance Croatia were going to score... them, Argentina, Czech and Holland best so far IMO

.... I would have England and France as possible contenders due to the players in their squada but both managers don't seem to have a clue

I could have him easy  :015:

:010:crikey, didn't know Martin Bavidge is Croatian..............anyway, he is having a decent game so far :003:

I'd prefer to have Kaka.... what a goal :010: :010: :010: :010:

For a first game with so much pressure on their team they phave played some amazing football

I'll be very surprised if they don't win the tournament

I thought that it was going to be St Mirren?

:015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015:

I just hope that he hasn't been distracted by his role in the Citroen adverts

Never knew Dods was such a good dancer :010:

Crouch learnt everything he knows from Dodsy  :016:

I heard he is playing lead character, Optimus Prime in the new transformers movie :010:

Remember Hibs have lost Riordan, O'Connor and Caldwell... unless they make some big signings b4 the season starts I think they will be largely mediocre

Motherwell have lost their manager and will more than likely be without top striker McDonald next season

Killie struggled the second half of the season without Boyd

Aberdeen only seemed to improve once Snoyl was signed who is back at Feyenord now and McNaughton (one of their best players) is offski

Bridge_ender has got it spot on IMO, if we can get anything from the top 3 then it's a bonus

Because we have kept our squad together and CC seems to be one of the few managers looking to buy some players I think we could be heading the pack in that middle section

can't see Utd, Dunfermline, or Falkirk getting out of the bottom 3

St Mirren are the unknown quantity

obviously there is still a long time until the start of the season and transfers will be made but as it stands I'm very optimistic for next season

Basically...  on paper what teams in the SPL do you think we're stronger than??

Was easily a foul there was 2 japanese players challenging Schwarzer he had no chance

Probably one of my all time favourite players even though he was tanted by the tims...

Player of the tournament so far.... Arjen Robben!!  He was on fire today, I've not seen a performance like that in the world cup since a curly haired number 10 used to play for Argentina  :o :o

Apart from the centre halfs, Holland look like genuine contenders if they can get out the group of death!!

"......your boys have taken one **** of a beating"

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Brilliant!

Good article... just hope we can hang on to our players and add a couple more ;D

Edwards for T&T was immense, infact the whole team were brilliant... I don't even think Sweden played that badly!!

Looking forward to the game tonight... should be a cracker ;D

Go on then
