wellll tbh i'd say becks' damn good quality beard is putting an american deadwood kinda slant on it that sets him apart from joey barton's zorg look which itself is on the punk fringe of the stu pearce/parker/twp ukip look

ach with the brick lane thing i just meant that wayne, retro side-parting and all, was beginning to let out his inner hipster. i'm evidently not v good at being understood tonight.

I think Rooney's 'do is less retro side-parting than comb-over because his fake hair isn't working out quite how he planned. Good enough for Bobby Charlton.

Lawro just daringly picked France to win it on BBC's shite preview show. Shearer, mindful of past embarrassments no doubt, went for Germany.

predos:
Winners: GermanyRunners up: ItalyPoland and France in the SemisEngland knocked out of Group Stages by Sweden
Top goalscorer: Nando Torres
Theo will score a beautiful insane goal against a 10 men Ukraine that guarantees he'll be shitty and not live up to expectations next season.

Have you ever genuinely thought England would win a tournament?
I did in 2002 - I was utterly convinced it was going to happen, at least from the first round when dodgy penalty/Argentina battering on the door to no effect, and maybe before. I could watch the start of games before going to work, and seeing Owen's jammy goal against Brazil just confirmed that it was all written.
It seems kinda insane in retrospect, but when I arrived at work to find that Ronaldinho, Rivaldo et al had turned it round, my brain could not comprehend how this could have happened.

nah to be fair i reckon england have a great chance of winning the carling cup with wellbeck and carroll up front.

i think england will get through the group stage, then somehow scrape victory from jaws of defeat through the knockout stages, john terry will be suspended for the final, england gets outplayed for 90 minutes by another team that misses 40 barn doors and england equalises in the 88th minute then the other team miss a penalty and england win euro 2012 in a penalty shootout with John Terry coming back out wearing a beefeater uniform and fuck the world

wonder if sheva has any terry beef and if he could get someone to stamp on his face in the group stage

we used to have our own pound!!!
I've never thought pre-tournament 'England *will* win this', but when England reached the semis in Euro 96 I thought they had the best chance of the four teams still in it. Euro 2004 was looking good up until Rooney's metatarsal went. World Cups of 90 and 02 didn't start off promising much, but reached a point where I thought 'if we can beat Germany/Brazil, we'll probably win the whole thing' (but that was always obviously a big if).

reading the zonal marking thing and he makes ireland sound like the most depressing team going. obv they'll win it.
also i'll never not be amazed by stats like this: Cristiano Ronaldo (146 goals in 144 games for Real Madrid)
