one of the argentinian players' shoes are already dirty!

the referee is balding

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:44 (twenty years ago)

argentina's defence don't seem hurried and are happy to just keep possession of the ball

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:46 (twenty years ago)

great through ball by england.

well intercepted!

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:46 (twenty years ago)

strong tackle by argentina, but a fair one

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:46 (twenty years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

"owen is inside him"

that really needed a 'litrally'

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

beckham is a renowned for being able to deliver a good cross

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:49 (twenty years ago)

I should have put a bet on Argentina

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

oooh they only need 100% concentration in this game, as opposed to 110% like usual!

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

the commentator is being arrogant i think with that remark

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

OH NO, THE REFEREE HAS PULLED IT BACK IT WAS OFF SIDE

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

Back to Pukka Pies, do they really have those in Argentina?

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

I'm not sure it was offside trevor

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

the defence are doinga good job at holding the line, but eventually one will go through

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

They don't harp on like this on Pro evo 5

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:53 (twenty years ago)

"leslie king"

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:53 (twenty years ago)

"yes...you CERTAINLY are"

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:53 (twenty years ago)

haha apparently, in south american football, tackles from behind are fouls. but certainly not elsewhere

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:54 (twenty years ago)

They has about a million shots.

"we've got a game on here"

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:54 (twenty years ago)

Sorin is the metal dude

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:57 (twenty years ago)

He probably posts on the noize board

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:57 (twenty years ago)

if the referree keeps on pulling it back the crowd's gonna start calling him a wanker

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

What is wanker in Argentinian?

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

I can only speculate.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

i bet he's still sorin' about that disallowed goal

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

Did you just see the Dominoes pizza number? There must be one person in England who will call that and be very confused.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:59 (twenty years ago)

i bet he's still sorin' about that disallowed goal

-- ken c (pykachu10...), November 12th, 2005.

He thought they had that one in the Zanetti

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:00 (twenty years ago)

if they need a wide person, they obviously are going to need rooney's mum!

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:00 (twenty years ago)

or gazza

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:00 (twenty years ago)

Good play by england

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:01 (twenty years ago)

The argentine crowd are shouting 'Oi!'

Maybe the 80s have only just reached them.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:01 (twenty years ago)

it's almost as though one of the argentinian players just can't be arseo.

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:02 (twenty years ago)

Rooney fucked up a decent opportunity there.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:02 (twenty years ago)

Rooney in 13 years = playing for torquay utd

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:03 (twenty years ago)

This is better than most friendlies.

But it could still descend into bating monkey noises like that dreadful night in spain.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:03 (twenty years ago)

they must have learnt not to interview beckham by now.

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

The swedish player is laughing at him

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:06 (twenty years ago)

he's levitating the ball with his MIND

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:07 (twenty years ago)

We are playing like shits.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

except without the quality of being able to stick to the ball.

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

Nobody in latin america can do headers.

CORNER

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:09 (twenty years ago)

Very close.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:10 (twenty years ago)

We are playing one of the two best teams in the world here - I don't think we're doing badly. And Lampard almost scored just then!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:10 (twenty years ago)

Yeah we are doing fine. The defence is very tight.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:10 (twenty years ago)

looked a very harsh booking

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:11 (twenty years ago)

they just can't penetrate their solid defence!

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:11 (twenty years ago)

if only they have someone like cristiano ronaldo who can force themselves into the opponent's box.

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:12 (twenty years ago)

players like him can provide real penetration

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:12 (twenty years ago)

Nice cross by Beckham.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:13 (twenty years ago)

beckham had a good bit of play there

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:13 (twenty years ago)

cross post!

haha

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

Ronaldo penetrates even when the defence say no.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

Would it hurt rooney to tuck his shirt in?

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

FUCK ME

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

fuck

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

FUCKING HELL

rooney's been playing pro evo 5

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:15 (twenty years ago)

Doesn't get any closer.

Rooney is so essential to this side.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:15 (twenty years ago)

WE CAN WIN THIS

As the ball headed for the net I clapped and jumped out of my seat.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

Rooney got some penetration without having to pay just then.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

Walter Samuel's seen yellow

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:17 (twenty years ago)

Rooney stole the ball from beckham!

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:18 (twenty years ago)

SHIT! GOAL

argentina

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

fuck - partly down to Rooney there.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

ferdinand did a great dummy

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

I think England are sometimes better chasing a lead.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

the passage of play before the goal was as if england players weren't there

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

oooh gerrard came close

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

FUCK

i love gerrard.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

we look likely to score

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

mozzar almost blew up his voice box for that shot

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

Looks like rio was squarely to blame for that goal

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

This is going to be one of those nights when we just can't score, isn't it?

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:22 (twenty years ago)

This type of game is what England need to be playing 3/4 of before the World cup.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:22 (twenty years ago)

haha he reckons erikson won't be fiddling about with substitutes in the 2nd half lol

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:22 (twenty years ago)

ROO ROO ROO ROOO ROOOOOOOONEY

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

You know I only said that so we'd score... that's how LIFE WORKS!

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

ROO BRITIANNiA

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

This is a really cracking game isn't it?

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:24 (twenty years ago)

I'm scared.

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:24 (twenty years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:24 (twenty years ago)

QUICK! PUT ON PETER CROUCH!

eeeeeee

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:28 (twenty years ago)

england's defence is a letting people shoot machine

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:36 (twenty years ago)

lol at John Motson's apparently near-sexual excitement every time Wayne Rooney touches the ball

― Michael A Neuman (Ferg), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:37 (twenty years ago)

"They won't be shouting and singing on their coach now, that's for sure!"

Ha ha ha. Dear old Motty, I almost thought he was going to add "yr fuckers!" on the end of that.

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

Nice.

I'm no fan of Erikson, but I thought all three substitutions were spot on there. Very uncharacteristic to gamble everything on all out attack - but that's the way to do it - even if we'd lost it, i'd have been happy to go down fighting.

― Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:40 (twenty years ago)

Also lol at Peter Crouch winning the ball in the air with his chest

― Michael A Neuman (Ferg), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:41 (twenty years ago)

he totally got fouled by owen!

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:42 (twenty years ago)

do you think they're ever going to show that blatant penalty when the argentinian dude got fouled?

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:42 (twenty years ago)

And having to Crouch (ha, do you see?!?!) down to huggle his team mates at the end. Big lanky freak. (xpost)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:42 (twenty years ago)

i like how crouch's number is 20 and owen's was 10 and he's twice as tall

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:43 (twenty years ago)

I loved that. Friendly results don't mean too much, but knowing we can come from behind twice to beat one of the favourites for next summer can do no harm.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:43 (twenty years ago)

and with a little bit of lying cheating stealing to entertain us

There was frenzied debate round our house as to whether or not Peter Crouch actually lifted Owen up to get that ball. He certainly pushed him into it.

Either way, best England friendly I've seen for years. Best Gerrard performance in an England shirt for some time. Top cross from Joe Cole as well.

It was bloody entertaining from start to finish, some magnificent saves from both keepers; I can't remember seeing england have that many shots on goal for a long time.

"The key to England winning the World Cup" = not much pressure on the boy Rooney there, then.
