There's been some really awful defending blunders by S & M.
and the good-ol-crap referreeing.
I reckon even I could've scored against 'em.
Originally posted by trevor33He's great. He might get a lot of bad (edit: international) press but we love him here. He gives everything he's got in all games and is incredibly focused. He is a true leader and even if age doesn't forgive, his motivation is high as he knows it's his last chance. The contrast with C.Ronaldo couldn't be higher.
what did you think of figo the other night? it was the best i'd seen him play in ages.
My only fear is accumulated fatigue, he shouldn't play the whole game against Iran if we get a lead. We need him.

Originally posted by trevor33I agree, I was saying that mentally ronaldo has a lot, but really a lot, to learn from Figo. Ronaldo is also essential to us, but it's a shame he's wasting the potential to be much more.

Serbia only conseeded one goal in qualification, that is an all time World cup record!! What's your point?
San Marino, Bosnia,Belgium,Lithuania,
Spain,[the only decent team in their group] they managed a 1-1 draw.
Fair play to Argentina,they did the job. But imagine if they had drawn it would've been a catastrophic result.
