87 days until the World Cup!

FORZA ITALIA!

Looks like Becks is out of the world cup... at least we no longer have to hear about him anymore
Do you think this will retire him all together?

He is still one of the best passers around, I can't see why he won't be able to play for a few more years. Speed was never his attribute to begin with. But stamina he does have, plenty of, he is a product of MU academy and wimps do not survive for long.

Your post is almost full of glee? Why?

Just tired of how his quest for the world cup almost monopolizes what little coverage of all soccer we have in the states. Nothing against him just tired of hearing about him when there is so much more to the sport.

True, he never relied on his speed but he its getting injury prone with his age.

Achilles happens to young guys as well, I don't think it is age. I tore my MCL back in August having never ripped any muscles or ligaments before in my life, not because of age, but because of a late (hard) hit on my knee from someone stupid.

I think all the England players have lots of coverage lately and Becks is just one of them. I read daily reports on all the England players and do not see "favoritism" for any, IMO. Be it Terry, Cole (both or is it 3 now), Rio, Bridge, Rooney, etc. Plenty of news on all...

Problem is, who is going to play that side now? SWP is the only decent choice left, the rest are either injured or cannot play consistently. Oh well...

The English media has always had a special place for Beckham in its pages, whether it's for good or bad if he's involved it's always a top story.

Funny thing is, you're completely right that the big story right now isn't really that Beckham is hurt but that the only option to start in that spot is SWP...and he's just not good enough to make an impact at that level. Personally, I think the fact that Lennon is hurt is a bigger issue because Beckham was never going to be a starter anyways.

Anyone watch the Arsenal-Barcelona game today? Probably the best game of the Champions League so far.

Yes, I did. I am impressed they hung in and fought back. Proud of my Gunners.

mastershogun · 03-31-2010, 08:16 PM

Not sure what happened. 2 up and then level! Too bad henry could not make a difference. Thought Messi had a decent game despite not scoring

Awsome game! Barcelona completely dominated the first half. After Arsenal made their subs (not Arshavin) the game completely turned around. There was some great goalkeeping on display too.

Walcott made all the difference. His speed put Barcelona on their heels. They should have been up by 6 goals by the end of the first half. Hopefully the second leg will be just as entertaining..

Lumpold · 09-12-2010, 11:04 AM

Well, that was poor.

Agreed. But a point is a point.
Reina made some spectacular saves in the first half.

Yes, indeed, Reina made up for just about every mistake he's ever made.

Glen Johnson needs to wake up, Jovanovic needs to find some passing accuracy, Lucas could do with some balance. Konchesky was looking pretty good, we just need him and Fabio fit now. Maxi did OK, I spose. Torres and Gerrard need to find it within themselves to want to play. Don't get me wrong, Stevie was trying, just looking like he's losing faith! Poulsen looked a bit shell shocked at times. Carra and Skrtel were average, but pulled it out of the bag when needed. Agger ain't a left back, so we won't comment on his short time on the pitch.

Let me know if I missed anything!

reggiebuckeye · 11-20-2010, 08:30 AM

Ahhh, why do the Gunners do this to me?

Totten looked good. Not completely there yet... but solid

Chelsea is not looking too good. First Sunderland, now Birmingham

Lumpold · 11-20-2010, 12:25 PM

I think this has been a topsy-turvy week, I'd resigned myself to the fact that Liverpool were gonna lose... BUT WE WON!

mastershogun · 11-20-2010, 12:41 PM

Anyone watching the alm-barca game? 37th minute and already 5-0!
