Roy Keane and John O'Shea were Irelands best players, whilst Silvestre was head and shoulders above anyone else on the French team, not that I am biased you understand,
Also, what fantastic fans, they drowned out the French for most of the time.

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
so Beckham has said he got booked deliberately as he knew he was injured and wouldn't make it anyway.
he said people didn't think he had the brains to do that but he has. The only problem is now he's told everyone UEFA and FIFA can give him a longer ban !!

I have to contest that- he knew he wouldn't be fit so got his suspension out of the way.
Nothing wrong with that, in fact it's quite sensible.

Yep, but to boast about it to a national newspaper.....
Plus what if he had injured Thatcher?

So what, it happens all the time! Anyway, the referee took action, gave the yellow, and that's all they can do. With the problem that he [could] be misquoted (although unlikely) fifa can't take action on the strength of a paper article anyway!
And I'm sure Thatcher, who isn't a total wuss, could handle it anyway. The intent to injure was clearly not there, the intent to foul was!
As for boasting, Winterburn and Dixon have said they did it, as do others. Are they getting fined as well?

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
i didn't think there was anything wrong in what he did just that he has come out and said it in the press.
I think we all know there is abit of an anti English thing in UEFA and FIFA.. just hope they don't do anything about this.
It does happen alot in the champions league as well

I'm sure it happens all the time, but to come out and basically say "look at me, I'm so clever" is stupid.
I don't see anything wrong with deliberately getting a yellow card, but he couold have got it in another way than a bad tackle, which could have injured the other player.
I'd laugh if FIFA did ban him, just because he was stupid enough to admit it.

that's what i thought was so stupid as well. the quotes i read had Beckham saying people didn't think he had the brains to do something ilke that. Then he actually admits it !!!
Apparently Sven will deal with Beckham after the Azerbijan game. Not sure what that means but he still not been playing that well and his goal apart wasn't great against Wales either.

That was Beckhams best game in an England shirt for quite a while - he may still not be at 100% form-wise, but we haven't got anybody else with his ability from dead-balls and, IMO, he is probably the best at crossing the ball in the world.
