    That's because of the World Cup 2006. I am still happy that he brought it to my home country, even though it was only possible by corruption. I still think it was one of the very best orld Cups we have had so far without any problems and a relaxed and peacefull atmospheare in the cities. I wonder if it is possible to host a big sport event without being a criminal.

    By the way. Yesterday was Schweinsteiger's final match for Germany. He was one of the best and most successfull players in the history of the "Mannschaft". Even though it is currently not going so very well for him in Manchester.

    I heard he stopped the match to take a 'selfie' !

    Actually it was a scene similar to the one with Ronaldo at the Euro2016. There was a fan running on the field and making a selfie with Schweini. The atmospheare was quiet calm and relaxed so the bodyguards and Schweini did not prevent it....

    So that's his playing career on standby from now on - just sitting out his Man Utd contract...a shame..

    It depends on how long it takes for Manchester to have their team Manager replaced.

    I cant see them replacing Mourinho .
    Not after all the money he has spent and the squad he has brought together.

    Also,the fans love him and they love the new look Utd so,if that's the reason he is waiting it out then he has a heck of a long wait - not a good gamble.

    Yep. I paid way over the odds to a dodgy agency for tickets to all England's games.

    When I got my tickets they had written on them as the original owner:

    Eng v Par - Paraguayan Pharmaceutical Corporation
    Eng v Swe - German FA
    Eng v Tri - Trinidad FA
    Eng v Ecu - German FA
    Eng v Por - German FA

    So Franz (and good old uncle Jack Warner) trousered plenty of my cash there despite it expressly stating 'these tickets cannot be resold'. Doesnt seem to bother national FAs in the slightest.

    I'm on the Crabbies myself.

    Already had a lamb shank today. What can I say? Eva in The Dreamers always does the business for me.

    I have vodka on standby ;) I will try to stick with the game though I am not sure how things can improve. Rashford should not have been relegated to under 21's, crazy decision. [-(

    Maybe we should have some sort of drinking game to spice it up?

    A shot of vodka every time we have a set piece that comes to nothing or Sterling fails to control the ball.

    See you in casualty for the stomach pump!

    A REAL football nation would have put us to the sword by 3 goals at least by now...

    Kane is terrible.

    Let's have Studge on for Christ's sake.

    Any sign of Rashford to terrify them? Oh no he's not even in the f**king squad.
