Yes - you should be careful where you place your head. Just ask Zidane!

That's right. Check my post on the same thread more than an hour before yours... :tease:

Sorry if this has been posted before, but it may lighten things up a bit: http://tonaz.altervista.org/zidane.html

I guess you're referring to England - Sweden?

aws and Professor, you're both wrong. Here's how it goes (from the FIFA World Cup webpages): "The ranking of each team in each group will be determined as follows: a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches; b) goal difference in all group matches; c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches. If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings will be determined as follows: d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned; e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned; f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned; g) drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup™."

Switzerland - Feldschlösschen Germany - Erdinger Weissbier Holland - Grolsch It's a shame that Ireland didn't qualify. The WC is not the same without Guinness!

Scholes? I'd say he's been underrated for most of his career. Oliver Kahn has to be the keeper of the Overrated XI. Always prone to a big fuck-up.

05Milan's captions on the "RoboKop runs royally wild"-thread should definitely be candidates. I laughed out so loud that my colleagues came looking into my office.

I've only read one football autobiography: Kenny Dalglish's. Every Liverpool supporter should read it.

There should also be a poll for "Best avatar on TLW forum".

So did Mr Miggins, apparently.

1) What went wrong the last two seasons under Houllier? 2) Do you think the fact that Houllier "lost it" had anything to do with his illness? Did you notice any changes when he came back? 3) What did you think of Gerrard when he said he wanted to leave Liverpool last summer (before he changed his mind)? 4) How many goals would a team of Carraghers score in a Premier League season? and 5) Is it true that you and El-Hadji Diouf are best friends? ;)

Zambrotta would be a great.

Ferguson: Now do as I say or you'll go the same way as Ruud! Hic! Keane: I play for Celtic now, remember? Ferguson: Fuck off, all players in red play for me and... Hic.. oh yeah, I forgot. Well, I'll punch ya like Clough did, then.

Keane: If this were a real match I'd break your legs, smackhead!

In that case we'll play him on the wing.

Very good! :D

With that ratio he should save 3 or 4 out of 5 penalties in a shootout. Chelsea's only goal in the penalty shootout will be Lampard or Cole hitting the post, the ball hits Reina's back and goes in. Hamann and Carragher score for us to make it 2-1 after all ten penalties have been taken. You heard it here first.

Hmmmm... I can't remember that. Well, we won anyway, so it didn't matter. The team with the Germans always wins. West-Germany beat France when Uli Stileke missed. As long as Maureen doesn't put Huth on we'll be okay :D

Thanks, RiS. "When a match is drawn after 90 minutes, an extra 30 minutes shall be played, and 15 minutes shall be played in each half. (f) When a match is drawn after extra time, the winner shall be determined by the taking of kicks from the penalty mark in accordance with the procedure adopted by The International Football Association Board." If it goes to penalties, we MUST have Hamann on. When was the last time a German missed a penalty? Uli Stielke in 1982? Although Cech is a tall keeper and probably good at penalties, they say that Pepe is brilliant at them - he saved lots of penalties for Villareal.

Does anyone know the answer to this question: If the game on Saturday ends in a draw, I guess there will be extra time 2 X 15 minutes, but what if it's still a draw - replay or penalty shootout? And does the "silver goal" or "golden goal" rule apply in extra time?

I understand that your question is rhetoric, but... If you by "CL" mean the European Cup in its current format, I can't think of any, especially as no club has won it two years in a row, but maybe some Ajax player of 95 went to Juventus in 96? If we include the "old" European Cup, there are plenty of old Real Madrid, Benfica, Inter, Ajax, Liverpool and Nottingham Forest players around. And now we may add Josemi to these legends. :D

But wouldn't Crouch run wild on you if you tried stringing a shit-zu on top of him?

SG: High five, Peter! PC: Calm down, son. Nobody high-fives Crouch. Crouch high-fives others.
