The Cole goal was superb. Rooney had some nice touches though clearly not fully fit - did you see how frustrated he was at being taken off?? Like Refused denied cake. 
Missed the opening 5 mins and thus Owen injury as was attempting to unsuccessfully grapple with what I thought were my tech probs...I'm upset for Owen..Er..this is supposed to be about the Fantasy stuff and the Discussion thread about the serious actual perfs..derailing my own thread here...

I believe the interviewer on match of the day just called Lawrie Sanchez "Laz" what is happening, is it a desperate attempt to gain prole credentials or some form of speech impediment

Man I fucking hate Gabby Logan.
She is shit
and Ally McCoist is a cunt
Ian Wright too, but much much louder
Andy Townsend is fucking worthless
Southgate has mastered the art of saying something that even an idiot would have thought went without saying.

Joseph - Good to hear from you - you are allowed to derail because
- you are lovely
- you are a long way away
- it was derailed from the start 
I too love that long goooooaaaaall! It rocks!

xCx - If not a presenter now, prob will be!! Knew he was in the business - guessed it was presenting. Gabby is soooo lucky! (Most players of note who retire go into coaching, management or presenting...with mixed results..Remember how bad the Ian Wright Chatshow was?? Man - that was one baaaad show! )

As a defender, not as a commentator. He is better than wright, but that is damning with faint praise if ever I saw it.
I love South American commentators, I wish I had a few SA channels on TV to watch. As my anti-commentator rant might have shown I'm not happy with the ones here.

It's actually "GOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!" but nevermind.
What do South Americans make of England's chances against Ecuador?
ITV's coverage is fucking dire. BBC's is really great, including Ian Wright Wright Wright. Gary Lineker is actually deceptively witty.
How come Sweden managed to score 2 cheap goals? The second especially. Why do England panic?

We panic because we have no confidence or self-belief.
No doubting the Beeb coverage is far superior - always has been. Jef will confirm the strength of my views on the subject. I was bending his ear on Thu thus delaying his baking schedule! 
Shearers commentary is pretty good aussi but the ace in the pack is undoubtedly Alan Hansen. I mean...he is so mighty...the man is rarely naysayed and on the rare occasions he is it doesn't matter such is his stature/all round authoritativeness and superior knowledge base....sigh!
If we DO beat Ecuador I see the next England perf in Ibiza - Sat 5pm European time in July in the hottest Ibizan resort (San An) - will be a BRILLIANT atmosphere but will be very hot and very messy! I've seen World Cup matches before on the Continent - always a good experience. Saw France get beaten by a minor team in a World Cup opener (can't remember who). It was a great match. I was staying at a v. posh Italian hotel on the Amalfi coast ( ) and the Italian waiters who HATED the French were ecstatic! I was really happy for them - they had to keep up this awful veneer of, like, having no personality, because of the formal nature of their duties/the setting so seeing them all go mad was wonderful!!! Any else see a World Cup match in a foreign/unusual setting which is as memorable to them?

I fucking hate John fucking Motson, spokesman of the blindingly fucking obvious.
libcom fantasy league-wise I see my position has jumped about 10 places to 9th, steaming ahead of Jef Costello, among others. The only person I know above me right now is Wayne.
And has Reyes not been playing or something?

Apart from the other night, when he was going on about the spanish manager having a nervous breakdown, when he was at barcelona. WTF!

Senegal.
I'll probably be watching the Ecuador match in a pub on Tottenham Court Rd cos my mate's band's playing the 12Bar on Denmark St that night. Any good pubs round there that charge less than £3.50 a pint?

No...I had Fabregas, but dropped him preemptively for this game round before Spain-Tunisia, when he came on as a sub and prompty got 2 assists, ensuring Spain's safe passage and probably a place for the Saudi match! In his place I got Puyol and Torres, 2 regulars who I reckon could well be rested. Fuck...I need to think this shit out. I suck at fantasy football. I wanna get Championship Manager.

He wasn't laughing but Hansen was in hysterics. The un-PC bastard.

not sure. as you may have noticed, my spanish aín´t up to football punditry. people i´ve spoke to think joe cole´s amazing though. What is interesting is what gets picked for the montages at the start/end of coverage - gerrard´s goal v trinidad is always in and whenever england play there´s a long sequence of rooney looking amazing. Other than that nobody´s that bothered. Against trinidad there were a load of austrians cheering on T&T in the bar who left as soon as crouch scored. most peruvians are supporting brazil and/or argentina though, which is a pretty safe spread bet

Did you see the footage of him playing for Scotland at Spain '82 when him and another defender ran into each other over the ball, leaving a striker free to score? Another fine moment in the history of Scottish football...

Yes, behind the electrical places there used to be once or two decent pubs, no idea of the names though.

She rates your academic success over her own pleasure? Or are you crap in bed
I dropped Gerrard as captain, and didn;t replace him with cole as planned, I knew transfers were a bad idea.
I also forgot to get rid of my argentine benchman.

That's what I'm here for
thought Cole was our best player again tonight.
I would have liked to see Downing come on so Cole culd come inside and Lampard could fuck off.
But it wasn't meant to be, shame about Owen, hopefully Ferdinand is injured for a while, useless prick.
