    Just think very often football needs something to open the game up, with cricket yopu get the one day matches etc. these days, they are trying to make the game exciting and intersting.
    But football is still stuck in the dark ages.
    Play 90 minutes and its nil nil, should never be,.... then extra time,...... them penalties.

    Oh god, just lets have the penalties, cut out all the boring bits:lunapic 130165696578242 5:

            Not really interested in road racing, but I do like to watch the track cycling.

                    "Animal lovers" are in for a treat on Sunday as the BBC are providing fifty minutes of "rabbit," before the game and for those who like dramas with forensic content, a forty-five minute "postmortem," follows the game.
                    And some say there's too much football on TV. I say there's too much talk.
                    There'll be, including half-time, 20 minutes more of talk than there will be of actual play.

                    Actually even more, as there'll be continuous "rabbit" from not one but two commentaors throughout the game.
                    I turn on the TV when it's kick-off time, make a cup of tea at half time and turn off immediately after the final whistle. I also mute the commentary at times when that gets too much.

                        What a half of football against a bunch of animals.
                        It’s great to see us scoring goals even against poor sides which we don’t often do.

                        I like to hear others opinions,people who have been there and know more than I do.
                        5-0.

                          Hi @pete is 6 enough:lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                          Hi @roders my friend I have seen many England football teams at many stadiums,indeed I was at wembley in 1966,this is the best attacking side I have seen , this is just my personal opinnion the one weakness is the team are lacking a wee bit in defence in front of the goal,but there is no such animal as a perfect team.

                            Yeah not the England we have come to know, they were up against a poor team, but how many times have they limped away from such games?
