After the bad luck it gave us last time, i think we should give it a miss.

There were at least 5 obvious dives in an attempt to win free kicks and penalties. Ronaldo should have been booked for both of his and gone. Pauleta was lucky for his dive and protesting when miguel injured himself. Ref took no control of the game, France took the lead and then put 11 men behind the ball and crossed their fingers, which with barthez in goal isn't a good idea. Come on France, beat the Diving italiens!

He returned to the first team, got injured, then returned, then got injured. A certain pattern is still there. I think as we speak he isn't injured but pre-season training is just around the corner so wait for it. I didn't realise that Danns had signed for Big Club

Erm if they weren't maybe they should have been look where Jansen isn't now! Jeffers may do the business but his recent track record to say the least leaves alot to be desired. No goals in scotland, even Grabbi could score!

I think either club club can request it be kept quiet both have to agree though. But normally the buying club as it's their money being thrown about. I noticed quite alot of chelsea's are undisclosed, but estimates are made by the media, this can't be an attempt to cover up their finances as everyone knows it's endless so the selling club must have influence over that.

Problem is that pongolle never shoots, he runs into good positions then stops and does nothing. Roberts is a bit rough but has plenty of shots and scores goals.

Brilliant Signing. Confident if he can keep his elbows to himself he will get us at least 10goals a season. Hopefully we got him on the cheap but i doubt it. 2 down at least 1 more needed. Then defence and midfield need attention.

I agree with fifa being crap. Everytime a sale fell through or the tickets were put up for resale they added a charge on top until prices for the last few tickets were obserd. Real fans got barely any tickets to see games, those we bought off a tout were given to the portugese federation to sell to their fans but somehow managed to find there way to an english tout. Less corporate rubbish and get the real fans back into the stadiums!

With all the comings and goings it may be diffcult to mould a team, you can stick the players together but if we have 4 or 5 new bodies in the first team it could take a while for the team to gel and play well. Belief will come once we have signed our main targets but that won't be for a while i'd guess. Like to get everyone into pre season friendlies to get the players understanding each other.

The same was said about Kuqi last year and he just about proved his worth even if only for his goal celebration! I'd love to see Jeffers back to the player he was when he was rated so highly, i just think it's another case of Jansen Syndrome. There is no doubt he can do it if he puts his mind to it.

I doubt this will be the only use for this topic. Moans and Groans to follow over the coming years. Big Yawn sums it up, on a hot day hardly a deal to wake you up. I wander how many fans shirts Jeffers will get his name on?

Which Ferdinand are you putting in goal? Rio or Anton? Also what about Owen up front? Gary Neville is getting on a bit, should be looking at replacements soon

Given the rubbish formation it's hard to take that the 1 player i wouldn't have had in the team played the best and tried his best for 120mins + a pen. Owen Hargreaves deserves a medal, the guy was amazing. 4-4-2 should have been the formation, not enough strikers cost us. Appalling decision to send off rooney but awful pens!

Argies take the lead, germans need to step it up!

Germany for me. Argies looked nervy in the last game and the germans looked far superior. The fans backing will give them an edge to. Podolski should do well again.

Rowlito 1

Gerrard to smash another in and england to win this by 2 clear goals.

In the FA's haste they have missed a great opportunity with Scolari. I never saw why they had to appoint a head coach so quickly

For me even though germany have not been playing aswell as the argies did in the early stages they wil knock them out. Mexico came so close to beating them but they have the advantage of playing them often. They are far from a class apart.

It's been good so far, loads of chanting but what do you expect! Only trouble we have encountered has been on our campsite with some english being thrown out and in a club croatia and france fans going at it! It is very hot out here today, glad to be in a air conditioned net cafe!

A Davies Grabbi A player who costs around £7million, takes a heafty wage and does nothing Big Club A club now playing for the championship as they were too good for the premiership

Easiest solution buy a new PC, XP has been great for me i think it has frozen once in a couple of years. If your getting the blue screen of death i would assume your on 98 for which they don't do updates anymore which is a problem safety wise. If the guy at the shop can't fix it then go to a better shop or give up! :ph34r:

I'd forgotten all about that, i'm in it aswell. Wish i hadn't given my name to the game now!

Yeah ozzie i have never had the pleasure of a snakebite and black as it has been banned ever since i started going out. I did win a bet with some random person that it was banned though! Never really understood why it was banned but hey

I was unlucky enough to spend money on this awful game. The interface was useless and compared to Champ Manager or Football Manager there is no contest. I'd rather watch paint dry than try and play this game again.
