True about Curbs but at the same time Rangers are bigger team than Charlton and the press are saying he see's it as a stepping stone to England job..i'd still want Burley anyway
If only Walter had come sooner!!!!! yeh and Ally McCoist!

yup..Gers are a huuuuuuuuge club compared to most in the EPL..but the EPL just seems to be more attractive to managers and yeh i think Gers would be better with a Scot!

ah well..maybe 2010 then? lol

Any Boca Juniors fans here? I'm one of them...lol SO we won 4-1 on the second leg against Inter of Porto and now we're going to the Southamerican Cup semifinals, WOOHOO!

Too bad Argentina lost, even though it was a friendly :( lol I think we've got a lil' problem there with last minute goals that completely change the outcome of the game, even though we played better....anybody remembers last year's (or was it the year before?) Cup America's final, Argentina VS. Brazil??? lol...yeah..that's what I'm saying

Anyway, I can't wait for the World Cup! Germany '06 here we come! :D:D

Peace,

Congrats to the Socceroos!!! :D:D lol You guys are going to the World Cup!

Wow....it's been a long time, hasn't it? You guys haven't been to a world cup since 1974 :( , I was kinda surprised to hear that actually.

Best day of my life. No question.

The big grin on my face... I must look like a total fool. I haven't changed this expression for like 20 hours now.

...........so, the world cup next year. If I had to pick who my favourites to win would be id have to say: Brazil. Argentina, Germany. probabaly in that order as well, the reaction to englands beating the argies has been typically over the top. Had the game been of greater significance there surely wouldnt have been 5goals and in truth until riquelme went off I thought argentina were the better team. The deciding factor for england next year rests on rooney, without him threres little chance of them making an impact. Even with him I dont think they can lift the world cup...............................its kinda funny but though I was born in england I dont feel that patriotic fervour that others do. Part of it is maybe that a large portion of the english travelling support are inbreds, and maybe another part is not havin english parents but................hmmm........I always support english teams in the champions lge(with the exception of chesea)but the national team Im not really bothered in the sense that when they crash out I dont feel any angush...........am hoping the usa dont get anywhere thats for sure!!!

Whoa... r u sure? How about France '98? I'm pretty sure the French won that one.


Anyway, for this world cup my favs are Argentina, Italy, Spain, and Germany (in that order). I really HOPE Brazil doesn't win this one too. It takes away the fun of it. If they win every freakin' single time, it just takes away from the unpredictability of the cup and makes it pretty boring. It's someone elses' turn to win, imo

i know it´s not a good time for manu:(
i have no clue what´s wrong with them
ok ronaldo has a new deal with manu
but it seems that ballack isn´t leaving for manu
there are rummers that ballack is movin to barcelona :(

AxlUlrich

Ballack wants to join a Champions League winning team..and Manure just arent it..
my bet is he will move to Real Madrid cos they have never found a good replacement for Claude Makelele

The only one in Makelele's class is Vieira, and they missed out. Pablo Garcia isn't Makelele, but outside of these two, Garcia is right up there.

Ballack is a box-to-box midfielder. Makelele is an anchor. Playing Ballack in the Makelele role would seriously constrain his attacking abilities, and his defence isn't as good as Garcia.

AxlUlrich

that is true...Ballack needs space to attack...midfielders nowadays just cannot defend.
Real should have never sold Makelele.

last i read he will be staying in January from SkySports
it will be silly to move in January.
also it seems he wont join Manure cos he wants a 5 year deal and Manure dont wanna offer him that cos hes already 29
