That is if bevan will make the team. He is our Michael Owen and to be frank I was a tad disappointed in Owen...

Bevan is our best striker by some way. As long as he is fit, he is nearly always certain to play.

Good luck today to gibbage and england:)

11.59 kickoff sokker time. Going to be tense.

Good luck sir.

yeah. on average score, we got a pretty tough deal.

Lets hope we squeak a win...

We got the 2nd highest av ratings last week, despite not having Hann in goal which was quite impressive.

but Deutschland were 4th from memory...

Indeed:

Average individual marks:
58.5 Polska
52.5 England
52.3 Suomi
51.9 Deutschland
51.5 Italia
50.5 Nederland
48.9 Lietuva
48.8 Hrvatska
48.5 België
48.2 USA
47.4 Espana
47.2 Argentina
46.2 Česká republika
45.2 Danmark
42.8 Norge
37.1 Sverige

0.6 is hardly a safe margin rating wise.

Still, we've gone up about 5 on ratings since the qualifier groups. They will be without their star striker though, who looks as good, if not better than Bevan (as he is younger).

But you are missing the fact that Bevan is such an all-round great bloke. He does a lot of work for charity you know...

Sometimes his chazza works lets him down though. I mean 11 shots and 1 goal against the USA is a pretty poor return.

well he has to be charitable to them.

Not helped by constantly playing against ridiculously good keepers :(

Good luck gribbage!

Are you going to do that "special" thing to Max's Italy international?

Of course, it's the quarter finals! We need every help we can get to win Italy!

5 minutes until kick off now.
