Not to discredit England, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Russians were paid to lose the game. I am afraid this is starting to happen a lot in tenis, football, and even cricket, maybe betting should be forbidden.
On the Eve of the new Season...

yeah, i pay all the bills too, but i'd get pissed when i saw the bill, whereas if i pay it right away i only have to think about it once.
i've been asked a couple of times in front of my wife how much the ticket costs. and uh…hopefully they wont charge us an extra $99 for hd next year

For full disclosure, I'm not paying for the game and will be downloading it this afternoon to watch this evening when I get home. It's nice to be on the West Coast.
So far it seems like $20 or $25 saved as Croatia is up 2 - 0 in the first half.
Guess the Russians knew what they were doing if they doing if they took the cash. They'll still get in.

I really don't give a toss that England didn't qualify…really! Hopefully the FA have finally learned a lesson and will get a manager that knows what the hell he's doing, and get shot of this idiot, who's career peaked as assistant to Fergie…He really proved himself at Boro! :roll:
I'm just glad it's over, it's been like waiting for a loose tooth to fall out..

It seemed McClaren's version of the Great Escape would reach a memorable and totally satisfactory conclusion.I'll be whistling all the way home...
Instead, just as Steve McQueen was recaptured and jailed, so England were snared again as substitute Petric belted home from 20 yards to knock them out.
instead of watching the match i went running and ate a terrible meal that kinda made me ill. i think i came out ahead

dunno, did man u play a 5-3-2 with three central defenders? did they start their best midfielder at left back and not start the second best? did they have only one shot? i'm guessing no :(
Oh no, they looked terrible, don't get me wrong. I was a bit upset that I woke up early to watch that piece of crap so that I could watch United live without ruining that match. But it was hard for me to point that out when United lost to a team that hadn't won since August.
well, that never stops mank
i guess i was secretly hoping someone would start shit so i use the phase 'lost the plot'
