Haguita was the one that back flipped the ball off the goal line was'nt he ?

I would think Heskey will now be retired from International Football :roll:

...along with Terry, Upson, James, Cole, Gerrard, Lampard....in fact the list is endless.

We've got 4 years in which to develop a youth policy that will be able to compete with the simple but oh so effective style of the Germans. I didn't particularly like the Germans but they have earned my respect over the last 2 games.

They know that shots from distance fly wide or high.
That 24ft x 8ft just ain't big enough.
So they run rings round opposing defenders and use precision in the box.
Simple, if you're good enough.
Most teams need 25ft x 9ft though 8-)

we would have to do something revolutionary at youth level for that to work what would take at least eight years for that to come together for that crop then to be old enough to play at a professional level


then there's to many foreigner's in our English Premier league and EU players who are not classed as foreign ie. Viva Le Arsenal keeping English lads out of top level jobs in football


but if you was to say that over here about foreigner's and EU workers in taking none football jobs in England well i can only imagine, but lets not get off topic..

You must know something?

According to this England have scored 4 goals twice in World Cup tournaments but both games were after extra time - in 1954 and 1966

I though we had an Under 21 team. Start there.
4 years time, using the European Championships to get the experience, they'll be ready.
Ditch the primos now.

the premier league are bringing in the policy that you have to register 25 players at the start of the season with 8 'Home grown' players in the squad, the criteria for 'Home Grown' is that they have to have been at the club for atleast 3 years between the ages of 16-21, but most players at the top academys i.e Arsenal, Liverpool etc. are foreign and will qualify as Home grown players :roll: :roll:
