Re: Sam Allardyce in hot soup

Re: Sam Allardyce in hot soup
The English Press are fond of using entrapment methods to destroy the careers of public figures. Does anyone know any other country that does this? I suppose the fact that the English in public office never speak their mind but go through the motions offering well prepared bland answers to question...

GUIDANCE ON TASER USE The National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) - which represents senior police - say that 'officers who are trained and equipped with Taser must decide on the most reasonable and necessary use of force in the circumstances'. The guidance adds: 'The level of force used must be pro...

Re: Big Sam new England manager
England need to pick a direction and stick with it, even if it means not getting past group stages for the next ten years.
They need to pick the best direction and give it time to bed in. Sam Alladici ain't it.

Re: Is Messi now better than Maradona?
One thing "seals" it for me. Maradona's superior vision. The key to Maradona's dribbling is anticipation. The key to Messi's dribbling is reaction. Maradona's style requires more vision. Messi's style requires closer control. Maradona herded defenses. He made them do what he wanted. He was...

Re: Even African teams were taking Germany to the wire
This to me shows that African teams are very inconsistent, however THE MAXIMUM POTENTIAL for African sides IS VERY HIGH. If they could get consistency and proper organization and coaching, THEY WOULD WIN THE WORLD CUP, YES I SAID IT THEY WOULD WIN THE WORLD CUP. There is no reason why we did not ha...

Re: Who will win the World Cup first - USA or an African tea
England provides a good demonstration of what is meant by "technical ability". When you come to World Cup with a plan that you are not able to execute, then you are lacking "technical ability". Germany has technical ability. They are described as "comfortable on the ball&quo...

Re: Who do you have in the semis?
Brazilians and Argentinians can watch a match in the same room. The Dutch and Germans have some obvious history, football and otherwise...although I'd say the latter has cooled down over the years. But the Argentinian and Brazilian football rivalry is something else. Both sets of fans derive signif...
