2 main points of discussion for this post.

1) How can a team of immortals have to resort to cheating to beat portsmouth at home and only draw at OT thanks to a missed pen.. be three minutes away from being knocked out of Europe and then get knocked out later on and lose in the FA Cup semi final. If they were that good they would have won the log. I do think it is an amazing performance by the team and one i don't think will be repeated in England again but they did have quite alot of luck as well. Just gets me annoyed that when United won the treble the press were like well done your quite good... when it's another side who only win one trophy they are the greatest team ever to have lived.. alot of double standards by the press here.

2) How come SA got the world cup. What facilities and infrastrure have they got to host it.. We only just lost out on hosting the 06 tourny and we have far better stadiums, facilities and infrastructure that Germany and no it's going to a third world country.. Am sure they will do a good job but seems more of a political decision than a footballing one.. Don't think England or even GB will ever get to host the world cup again.
