The Football.....

Ach well, Scotland got turned over by the mighty Serbia and with 2 points from 5 games cannot now qualify for Brazil. Quelle surprise .

[QUOTE 2380972, member: 1314"]Have the ones who went over in '78 to Argentina returned yet? [/quote]

The players? They were back not long after they left, as usual . Willie Johnstone was home even earlier than the others!
The supporters; well apparently a number of them found a mutual attraction with the local ladies and are still out there.

Wish it was Utd. On more than one occasion Wellbeck, Rooney and Cleverley were attacking the Monty goal and everyone else waddling behind Carrick - probably because they didn't want to get out of their depth.

Funny you should mention "waddling" & Rooney in the same sentence............

The best Rooney years are long gone, he filled out and he's now slow, with even s.l.o.w.e.r footwork. Should be dropped. Useless.
Cleverley, no idea what his game is about, like a worse Parker but with even less goal threat, I think Bradford City get add-on payments from his games so hope he keeps being chosen.
Wellbeck, I like him but don't like him looking for, and collecting, the ball in his own half, which is what he did, all game.

It's true that Rooney's best years are behind him, and he's slowed down, but pace was never his particular strength. He still has a quicker brain than most footballers - an ability to assess the situation very rapidly and put in the audacious long pass that splits the defence or the clever chip that exploits the goalkeeper's isolation. He's not as good as he was, and he was never as good as they said (he was never close to being a Messi or Van Persie), but he's probably still about as good as we've got. Which probably says quite a lot about why England have ever been and will ever be a second-rank football nation. We're lumpen, when all's said and done. Stout-hearted, but without finesse. (How telling that we should have to borrow a foreign word for that concept.)

Both me and Mrs Bof noticed he's lost a fair bit of weight recently and was looking less Shrek-like.

16 goals in his last 20 games for club and country. Wish i was as s##t as him.

I see that England are keeping up the tradition of having completely crappy looking goalkeepers jerseys.

And Scotland are keeping up the tradition of looking completely crappy
