OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Dear oh dear Scotland...What do you expect haha, we are probably the worst team ever. We'd be playing much better if we dropped Kenny Miller and Charlie Adam replacing them with Jordan Rhodes or Steven Fletcher and Graham Dorrans. Levein seems to pick some shit players and not play up and coming talent/decent players. James Forrest and Robert Snodgrass play every 2 or 3 games, where as Naismith (who is a striker not a winger btw) plays every game more or less on the wing, constantly playing very average. Also this 4-1-4-1 formation is negative as fuck, Levein said ages ago were trying to play like Spain by keeping possession but his system clearly doesn't work compared to the 4-3-3. Need to ditch Alan Hutton as well, if we had any other ok RB he would get dropped for sure but good quality RBs are harder to find in the SPL/PL/any other league that are Scottish.

termninja 5,290 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Serbia 6 Wales 1 Aw yeah.Ivanovic also scored a beauty with a volley from outside the box and captained the team.He also did well to neutralize Bale on the left wing. Bale did score for Wales, but from a FK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imlukaku 13 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Serbia 6 Wales 1 Aw yeah.Ivanovic also scored a beauty with a volley from outside the box and captained the team.1st place will be between Croatia , Belgium and Serbia. We (Belgium) have lost a big oppurtinity to beat Croatia , we were the better the team , but still a draw is not bad. Hope we can get at least a point in the away against Serbia next month. And Serbia lost points against scotland , which could be good for croatia and belgium if they are able to win at schotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzchap 8,966 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 So many negative posts on SSN about England's performance...1) injury list was big2) Ukraine have never been a walkover, they have some amazing players, but don't have the league or funding to be on show - when it was the USSR a hefty percentage of players were from the Ukraine.So RH tried some new things, everybody moaned about Rooney, he couldn't play so he tried something else - everybody moaned again...3) to sum it up we will never be happy... Jesus even Brazil + Spain play badly - international football is inconsistent and on there day any team can spank another team.. 1-1 was a fair result and is not the end of the world!

Feel bad for Wales though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Jordan Jordan are a quality team, actually. I'd rate them the 5th or 6th best team in the AFC, and playing away in the Middle East in summer is a bitch. We still should have gotten a point, considering we're the third best team in Asia.Mind, the Socceroo's are piss and wind these days. The golden generation is over and we're going to plunge back into a decade of mediocrity wishing we could play American Samoa every week.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Jordan are a quality team, I rarely watch middle east foot ball but I'm certain that's not true. Jordan is a small country with a small population and absolutely no footballing history. They would never match up to the likes of KSA, Iran, Qatar and the north African Arab Nations in football.

We can't deal with long balls in the heat when we've spent all our time in Asia chasing after mini-Spain's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Interesting possible change to the Euros. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/sep/24/wembley-euro-2020-uefa-finalThe continent is not really that large, so I can really see this.

Let's say you are English: Englands first game is being played at Wembley, that is no problem for England fans. But then the second game is in Sweden. But then thrid game is in Ukraine and then the fourth game is in Portugal. Not only is that a ridiulous and expensive travel schedule but it would also affect the players performances.Stupid idea. Rich people tend to forget that most people can't afford things like this. Danelka and dave30 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich people tend to forget that most people can't afford things like this.I don't think it would work like that. I assume they would have regions for the groups. Like Group A would be played in Britain, Group B in Spain, Group C in Germany, Group D in Turkey etc...so if you wanted to watch your country, you could safely go see the first round in one location. Then, you'd have the quarter-finals in maybe two different locations (close to where those groups were based, say the groups that were based in England and Spain would have their quarterfinals in France), the semi-finals and the finals in the "host country". I think it would be more expensive to see all the games, but less expensive for those fans who wanted to go to one or two games (since no matter what, there would always be games near you.) The travel would not be extensive as the only time it would be needed is in between rounds where there is a few days break anyway (no different than playing at home on Saturday and flying to the continent for a CL game mid-week,.) The biggest benefit to me is that countries that would have no shot of ever hosting a tournament could still host games which would be a huge deal. (Countries like Latvia, Cyprus, Estonia, etc...) Also, the games would actually be cheaper to put on overall and save a lot of money for host countries. Poland had to build four new stadiums for the Euros, which, was a massive waste of money. Poland and Ukraine spent a total of $40 billion, most of it being public money. Countries that don't have the infrastructure to host and entire tournament don't have to spend $40 Billion for stadiums and infrastructure they really only need for a few weeks, once They can use their existing national stadium or at most build one stadium. I'm not saying that I'm for it, but there are some benefits. I'd rather this than the added teams to the tournament (which is already happening unfortunately.).
