Re: New England Manager
out of all of the choices it looks like they might have made the right one.. not sure on what is knowledge of English football is like though..
anyone know why he left Brasil after winning the WC ?
they mave have gone foreign again but at least they time it's someone who is actualyl good.. although those comments could come back to haunt me later on in the year :-)
now that we have a World Cup winning manager there will be extra pressure and as Russ said at the minute he will be hailed as the new saviour until we loose

Re: New England Manager
I'm sure I've seen that moustache before somewhere. Didn't it appear in the Will Young video where he lampoons Top Gun?

Re: New England Manager
Big Phil has won the World Cup with Brazil, but they would have won it even without a manager. As for Portugal in Euro 2004, they had home advantage and failed to beat Greece twice.
One thing going for him is that he doesnt pander to egos so lets savour the moment when beckham is finally dropped from the squad.

Re: New England Manager
Scolari is (apparently) a Forest fan anyway he's better than Ginge. Still think Megson was the perfect choice though

Like Beckham or not, he's still a class player, with the most mind blowingly amazing free kick in the world. Why should he be dropped?

Juninho Pernambucano of Lyon is a much better free kick taker,
Ronaldinho, Zidane, Henry, all score free kicks on a more regular basis as well these days.

Yeah, but they all might have a slight problem getting into the England team

One of the reasons i have 'gone off' football, is the annoying tendency to put people on pedestals, only to delight in knocking them off.
David Beckham has been, on the whole, a class act & a good servant for the England team - if he is no longer required, then fair do, but to imply that he is second rate, all of a sudden, isn't really fair, in my opinion

if Scolari takes the job that should be the end of Crouch

True, but the other thing they have in common is that they are not English....

Just because Beckham is english though it doesnt make his freekicks magical.
It's not american football where we can bring a kicker on and take him off repeatedly when we have a free kick, he offers little else to the team now his energy levels have dropped.

Re: New England Manager
But at least we'll get to see Posh on tv a lot more during the World Cup ...actually, let's hope he is dropped just to save us from that!

No, but it also doesn;t change the fact that they are magical.

I don't agree, but that's just my opinion.
