i wouldn't say that win was uninspiring. i think scotland came up trumps for you though. england arent doing badly tonight either against the only team to beat the world champions.

Fantastic finish by Messi against Spain tonight, even better than his goal against Racing weekend before last. Does make you wonder how Argentina would have done at the WC if they'd taken players like Cambiasso, even if Spain weren't playing a full strength XI and hit the woodwork about a million times.

Still, 4-1 is a startling result. Why oh why didn't Argentina take their best team to the WC? Kinda devalued it a litle.

“The tactics of the Argentine national team are now similar or the same as those of Barcelona, and that’s how I like it” - Messi [taken from Zonal Marking]

Probably goes someway to explaining your result. I felt at the WC too much of the play was going through Messi and he was picking the ball up in too deep a position, which wasn't a problem last night under Batista.

Agree about the devaluing comment. A lot of people moaned about the WC, although I personally enjoyed it, but you always want to see teams to play to their best ability and it's fair to say that Argentina didn't.

Sensational goal by Messi last night in the CL.

is there a place, maybe on the internet, where one could easily download (not stream) the arsenal v. braga match?

EDIT: got it

I thought that Rangers would get absolutely shellacked on Tuesday, but I underestimated Big Walter's 4-5-1 Euro defensiveness.

Fucksake Clyde, 3rd bottom of Division 3 already.

And now we're bottom of the table after losing 8 effing 1 away to Montrose. Apparently we had 2 players sent off in the first half hour, madness. Grim times for us just now. :(
I was with my Caley Thistle supporting best mate watching them win 2 -1 away at St Mirren, which was a rather more enjoyable way to spend the afternoon I have to say.

Good grief. 8-1! Sorry, man

We (Norwich) lost at home yesterday to a side who've not won away for a year. We always do this. Any team or player bang out of form only ever needs a trip to carrow rd to turn things around. Jeez.

So much misery here.

I'm afraid you seem to have temporarily confused 'beautiful' with 'really fucking horrible'. As a Wednesday fan, it shouldn't surprise me to go from top three form to losing four (?) games in a row, but it seems that I never learn. Not that I have as much invested in this as I once did, but please can we stop failing in PRECISELY THE SAME WAY every time?

In other news the Prem this weekend had the look of an interesting league once more. Let's hope this lasts.

Skanky American owners certainly seem to be doing their bit to level out the top end of the Premiership. Maybe we could adopt US sport's draft system, but for owners - the richest prospective moneymen go to the worst clubs.

Chelsea may have lost the first time they've played a decent team this season but I have every confidence in Carlo and the lads, I've no doubt they'll be dealing out righteous thrashings to hapless peasants ASAP

With a wage bill like that they should probably be challenging for the title, not just looking to get into the top 4.

Watching Liverpool under Roy 'happy for a point' Hodgson is just depressing at the moment.

EDIT: got it

just for future reference you can download games through torrent and http on fbtz.com. Most the games are pretty high quality and big ones are in HD if you have a decent computer. I love the epl but being on the west coast its the site i use cause i cant watch a game at 7 am or il just fall asleep...
