I felt so sorry for the master tactician that is Sven is he used all his mighty tactical brain to lose to a late goal from the mighty Northern Ireland. With Rooney in goal and Beckham playing just behind the front six and to the right of centre we covered every blade of grass on the pitch.
With Northern Ireland ranked a high 116th in the FIFA rankings and without a win in the group or probably the last two years it was always going to be a tough game to win.
Well done Sven, you've really restored pride to our shores.
You little git. :dammit:

Yeah - what's going on? We also beat them 4-1 in a friendly recently - and we probably won't even qualify for the 2006 WC ;)

I think that as well as Sven taking the blame for some questionable tactics, he is not being helped by a team of spoilt, overpaid cry-babies.

Time to take a leaf out of the England Cricket team chaps.

Our only chance is if Turkey fumbles against Albania (which probably won't happen) and we win our last two games :( Well, I'll watch the WC anyways ;)

Well.....I kinda enjoyed it :)

Kidding.

Still think that armband means more than most people say. Just ask Man U, eh Sprout?

Take it off that ponce and give it to Gerrard, Lampard or Terry. That team definitely needs a man to lead them. They look lost to be honest.
