Beckham wholly impressed against Belarus. He was so accurate.

A few crosses out of many that connected, this is what annoys me about Beckham. He does a couple of good passes and people start blowing loads. It's a bit stupid.

"HOW ACCURATE!" No, Terry had to run because it was curling dreadfully.

just good passes? try brilliant. the ball curling dreadfully is a nightmare for players to defend against. thats the whole idea.

Nah, I'll try good. That's what I thought they were, the few he connected out of the many he attempted.

too bad everyone disagrees with you. maybe you wasnt watching the same game perhaps. his set peices were excellent.

Is that how you deal with every debate? "Too bad everyone disagrees", "Were you watching the game"? Sad.

Big deal. The British general public disagree with most of my views on anything, I guess the numbers mean they are right, huh? No. Also, it's not everyone is it? No. Majority? Since when did that mean anything? Never.

sometimes it does mean something. like when beckham whips in great crosses. and then you come out and say meh, it was only good.

im dying to know what your definition of a great cross is then, maybe you could tell me.

No, it doesn't mean anything. The British general public have been up his ass for years and years.

I don't have the idea of the perfect cross. Beckham does crosses how Beckham does crosses, they're nowhere near as accurate and brilliant as people say, why? Because he misses more than he connects with.

5-0 against Jamaica (Haha) in a friendly, Owen messes up a completely great chance, penalty awarded and Crouch is handed his hat trick on a silver platter.

What happens? It goes over the bar. At least Lampard hit the keeper.

-AC

at least crouch got his hat trick😄

one of them was an own goal

Precisely. Two and an own goal.

The funny thing is, my friend called me today and said "Told you England were better now." That's how you know England fans are stupid. Lose against Belarus and struggle against Hungary, no more is said. Beat Jamaica and the mob goes crazy.

I don't know about you guys but I think after seeing the robot dance 3 times, it's starting to lose it's novelty. 😛

any striker would of claimed it

seeing it once was shit enough

That's another thing that's bothering me about stupid and ignorant people that seem to, coincidentally, be fans of England's football team.

Why is the robot now seen as Crouch's invention and/or trademark? It's been around for decades.

-AC

its just funny to see a lanky lank head do it. but doing it too many times, it can be annoying

about the beckham passing thing, you have to take into consideration that not all of his passes will make it, mainly because of the different factors. the strkiers still have to convert the plays and from what i saw of the game some of the players just werent sharp enough to read what beckham was doing. hes clearly overrated as a player but his crossing into the box is still a dangerous weapon.
