No one cares about the Irish....Once Tommy Smith Predictions didnt come through I'm fine by that :lol:

Sheit Brasilia is ranked #1 by Fifa....never a good thing heading into a major tournament. They always win when they are NOT the favorites :!:

Let's bring up memories of '06 all over again :cry:

Anyway, who's making the trip :mrgreen:

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) have lodged a formal complaint with FIFA over the controversial World Cup play-off defeat to France and have urged world football's governing body to replay the match.

Sadly, they'd probably lose that complaint... It's a bad call by the ref and linesman, much like a poor offside or foul call.

Is a real hard luck that it happened in such a pivotal game, but thats just how it is. I think the only grounds for a re-match would be a technical error such as giving 1 player 2 yellow cards and not sending him off.

true that del piero may play this weekend but he is old can't play him for a full match

Freelander · Postby **Freelander** » November 19th, 2009, 3:04 pm

yeah but when he comes on its like u watching a conductor co-ordinate an orchestra. simple flicks that can produce massive results

jjcp · Postby **jjcp** » November 19th, 2009, 3:06 pm

italy cant repeat what they did three yrs ago, they hoping del piero cud play and totti, cant say if the coach will pick either of them to go in the world cup team, as i say brazil is the team to beat, spain good, germany and portugal, eng alrite, watch out for a african team also

giovinco needs to be there.. agreed... del piero is meh boy i hadda see im there!!

very unlikely to see nesta or totti there, thats ok, the defence can handle itself once chiellini and cannavaro there to handle the scenes!

since the last WC italy eh perform as well as they could but i feel this rounds we can defend it and take it back home again!
