DEFINITELY an easy draw for England. I myself, being American but love the English, will close my eyes for the first match on June 12. I love them both and will not celebrate if one scores against the other.

yeah, i just read the article in yahoo about the group of death. Ivory Coast is one feared country here in the world cup. They have a chance to win if they play it "right". having said that, Ivory coast will be my dark horse. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

LOL at NK smuggling bombs!

 

here's the article i read in yahoo:

 

Group of death scale

[Labuyo]

if i'm not mistaken, the ivory coast fields some unknown striker by the name of Drogba

[protozoan]

man utd 4-west ham 0

man city 2-chelsea 1

 

never thought i'd want to thank manchester city for cutting chelsea's lead over united to 2 points

nice win by utd

 

excited na ko sa world cup..i hope england can do better this time

[protozoan]

with a good draw and a good coach in fabio capello, i believe england will do better this time..

 

and what a difference good coaching can do.. man united beat wolfsburg 3-1 using only 3 fullbacks instead of their usual 4 with the 2 being carrick and fletcher. and then the michael owen of old suddenly showed up and scored a hat trick! maybe they do have what it takes to win a double, or maybe a treble this year, hehe

January's the month where United usually TURN IT UP!! :thumbsupsmiley:

badtrip! manutd wasn't able to capitalize on the chelsea-everton draw instead they lost 1-0 to villa, agbonlahor with the winning goal, our defense really needs to improve, several players are needed back from injury or sir alex should sign a defender for a short spell if the injured players will not come back soon.

[protozoan]

yea.. nasayang talaga..

i think SAF should go back to his usual 442 formation coz i think he only uses rooney at forward as of now..

they were not able to create chances especially in the first half.. i think he should be partnered with berbatov more as of the moment or even with welback and macheda

[_eRon_]

manutd lose to fulham, 3-0, badtrip! si evra na lang natitirang defender na hindi injured, buti na lang 1-1 lang ang chelsea vs westham, 4pts lang lamang nila..

 

liverpool are having a terrible season, they lose to portsmouth 2-0, hanggang kelan pa kaya si rafa magiging manager ng reds?

 

mark hughes is sacked by man city, roberto mancini, the former inter milan manager, will take over as the new manager of city..
