Bit different to 1990 - think the FA wanted it that way though unless we won.paulie8290 said:Its like they have dropped them off in the middle of nowhere to make there own way home lol.

He was superb but attacking players who can provide moments of magic will always capture the awards.ValleyGary said:Thought Varane was massively overlooked by all pundits for player of the tournament. Absolute class.
Negating skill with great tackles and interceptions are a fantastic part of the game but in a way it's right that creating skill should win over destroying skill even when done in a fair and proper way.
Bobby Moore against Brazil was a great example of superb timing but the attacking skills of Pele and co will always take the ultimate plaudits.0 -
Best final I have ever seen though 86 wasn't bad...Argentina 3 Germany 2.philcafc said:Glad this is such an entertaining game. This world cup deserves a finish like this.

The bigger problem is that it’s picked before the final. Zidane got it over Cannavaro (who ended up winning the Ballon D’or) in 2006 and look what happened to ZZ in that game.0 -

Diving through Brive today, you honestly wouldn't know that it was the day after France winning the World Cup. See one bloke in the France top, a couple of houses with a flag outside (which is usual for France anyway) and a couple of cars with tri-colour mirror covers and small flags, but that is it. Got served in 3 places and all looked miserable as sin.
What a fuckin waste
At least they're smashing Paris up I spose2 - Sponsored links:

Picking the winner before the final game is like picking the MOM in the 80 minute before the business end of a match.ValleyGary said:

Of course we did. By being in semi final guaranteed to have played 1st or 2nd (the finalists) plus 3rd or 4th (whichever rank we were not - in 3rd place playoff plus one of 5-8 (losing quarter finalists)Cordoban Addick said:

Lost to the 3rd best team
We then knocked out the what was considered the hardest team in round of 16 before knocking out the whatnwas considered the 2nd weakest team in the quarters .
In fact what a load of waffle , the draw was beyond kind and we did ok with that pile of crap we were pitted against, definitely a once in a lifetime draw for us and an opportunity missed out , don’t believe the hype !
Yes of course it was the most enjoyable tourney since 1990 but then we’ve never had it open up like that !0
