QUOTE (acid911 @ Aug 20 2008, 08:50 PM) But still they have enough $$$ to fund transfer like Beckham's. MLS is so, um, um, let's leave it at that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) They did generate a whole lot of hype, though. I'd have to guess their marketing department was working overtime when David signed. You know the statement "don't put all your eggs in one basket"? That's the exact same folly that the Galaxy committed. They used so much money... they did not sign any half decent defenders. |

QUOTE (Tennie @ Aug 20 2008, 09:56 PM) Watching the replay of Italy-Austria. The defending in the first half (particularly the centerbacks) is...not good. I'd perhaps give more responsibility to Barzagli, but that was just sad. The early reports in Italy are hinting that Gattuso's shoulder injury is probably not overly serious. Gattuso heals very quickly.... so it's nothing serious. And indeed, Barzagli will be cut. I don't know why he wasn't subbed tho... |

Well, say that to me,..we allways get the EE teams.. we've eliminated Ukraine, Slovenia, Macedonia in the past, I hope we'll do that same thing in this edition of the WCQ.. QUOTE Both Croatia and Ukraine won their friendlies. These two look like they'll be the main threats in the group stage. I'll be very happy if we can get a draw in Zagreb on Sep 10 I'm willing to settle things for a draw. You know, Croatia did loose in Zagreb in a official match since 1999 i belive. |

Is it the winner of each group goes through then snd place goes into a playoff, or is it just top 2 straight into the WC.. I can never remember. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) The last time you lost in Zagreb was '99!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) If 'Borat' plays for Kazakhstan you guys are done for. I can guaran-damn-tee that. He'll have to come out of retirement, though, which seems like a distant possibility, so I'd say England's got a very healthy chance of winning. |

QUOTE (dst @ Aug 21 2008, 02:12 AM) LaPalma, that kid Marko Marin scored a wonderful goal today against Belgium. I think you've told us about him before and I have to admit I wasn't really paying attention but I know now I should have... (IMG:http://www.todo-fichajes.com/cutenews/data/upimages/marin.jpg) Download it here (credit to hondo of SP forums) edit: Made a search on mf and found some posts about him. It seems that Milan were linked with him too! Here That goal he and Lahm produced was really great stuff. Marin recently turned out be a good talent on the wing. Löw already included him in his pre-squad for the Euro. Too bad he dropped Marin for that useless one hit wonder Odonkor. Maybe Marin can be Bernd Schneiders (more attacking) successor on the right wing one day. But we'll see how he'll do this season. It's his first years as a regular starter in the Bundesliga so I better won't label him as the next big thing for Germany. He's still very young, 19, and has still many years to become a decent player, although I already really like this guy. He's fast, he's agile and his dribblings are nice to watch. |

I think only Fillipo and a few others might understand the joke: the Croatian NT has a history of not doing well when games are played in Split (as opposed to when they're played at the Maksimir in Zagreb, where they're very strong). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I must have missed that one then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
Do Croatia not have an official national stadium then? This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Aug 21 2008, 04:13 PM |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ..yep, this really was an insider joke. And I Kurt..I have even worse news,.. it seems (that really did surprise me) that we never lost a official qualification match in Zagreb, Maksimir. Seems that we've lost 5 matches in 60 years at home in all. About the qualification...I'm not sure. I think the first placed team is in, and the second has to go to a play-off. But I'm not sure.. |
