anyone else fed up with itvs coverage of world cup? david pleat is annoying, southgate forever defends his players (take todays game plus australia v japan) and the creme de la creme was clive tyldesly today. when rooney came on he said this was his first major international appearance since limping off in portugal 2 years ago. well of course it is-that WAS the last major international tournament!! silly bugger
And they mentioned That Sweden, who qualified via a play off, had not won either a friendly or competitive match since qualifying. How many competitive games would they have played since if they qualified via the playoffs?
RE: And they mentioned best thing i heard though was on five live yeaterday before germany v poland. they were on about england, and news had come through that neville was doubtful, and the presenter asked paul jewell (who was analysist on gremany match) and jimmy what they would do if they were sven. jewell said carragher, jimmy armfield came out with 'i'd play steven gerrard at right back and put carrick in midfield'! gerrard as right back! rather have crouchie there!
