As you know, I'm not muchof a football fan. But I have an idea that might just help them out a bit.

Goalie stays in goal (just in case). One player has the ball at his feet and dibbles it to the oppositions goal. However, the other 9 players surround person with the ball so that no-one can tackle him on the way.

Simples.

All we need now is someone that can drbble the ball and score. Which is probably the tricky part. :eek:

Any flaws?? ;)

I didn't think we had tactics. That's like cheating isn't it. We're English, so we don't train, we just drink champers, and then turn up for a bit of a bash. All very jolly.

Only that pesky obstruction rule.

That, and finding an England player that could control a ball for that long and resist the urge to hoof it 70yds upfield...

Yeah you're right we could do with keeping the ball like....ooh I don't know....Spain, they seem to be doing very well don't they!!??

Football is the same as golf in that there are no pictures on the scorecard.

Except in golf, you get a ball each :D

My advice to the England team is when you get the ball, enjoy it for a while then when you get fed up with it, pass it to someone you know. :D

Is dibbling an official football skill. :)

The problem with the England team is they have to pick English players

And pretty much all of them think they have already made it because of the way they are lorded by the media, they have nothing to prove nothing to fight for in there own head and lives, and so that transfers into the rubbish displays on the pitch.

As the only thing they seem to care about is money they should each be made to put £10million into a pot and then they should loose £1m for every point less than 10/10 they are given by the media perhaps an average mark for the whole competition.

I think they should get out there tomorrow against the Mickey Mousers, score 3 in the first half, and then spend all the second half practising simple pass and move tactics, and just keeping possession for 45 minutes to stop the opposition playing, so when we scrape a goal and go 1 up against Brazil we're not just hanging on for dear life.



Yeah right

Brilliant :D OR...they lose a £1m for every goal scored against them but earn £2m for every goal they score.

Now young Sir, don't forget YOU said it!!

With your team I think it is best to be knowledgeable AFTER the event!
