What a load of ****e. Hate football, thought I might actually watch it this year but not now. Couldn't give two ****es about how well we do after that showing. At least our F1 boys know how to win! And they are on a damn site less money!

Fair enough. But thats only the top driver's. Most of the grid has to bring their own sponsorship just to be able to drive. All footballers should get paid a basic and then performance related pay.

Why is everyone giving Green a hard time? He made one mistake. What about the rest of the team? They make mistakes all the time, but it usually just means the opposition gets the ball, or they miss a sitter. He made a great save later in the game. It's a team game, England should have been able to blast a few in to make up for his one mistake. It's not as if they were playing one fo the big teams!

I don't agree that Green "made a great save later in the game". I think he nearly fluffed that one as well. No 'keeper should ever be beaten at the near post from that sort of angle. He should have comfortably parried it round the post: in truth he was just millimetres away from another monumental f*ck-up.
As for the rest of the team, well you're 100% right of course.

It would not surprise me if that new design ball wasn't spinning like a top when he got his hands to it and it jumped out of his hands because he was unable to get right behind it in the time available to him. When it left his hands having been virtually stopped it then found a life of its own to continue to the back of the net. He had to stop it initially with his hands flat and thats why the ball got away from him. I don't think it was a mistake so much as bad luck.
