fair enough.

but he made more than 2 or 3

Hmm. It seems to me that you don't understand what a flat cross is.

It is the most dangerous kind, because it is the most difficult trajectory to defend against.

So by saying he put in two or three good flat crosses, I was actually pointing out Beckham's good bits.

[el duder]

how could u dare describe those crosses as flat?

did u see the way beckham pinpointed a ball across the field to gerrad in the first half?

did you see the cross he provided to joe coles header in the first half?

did you see the cross he provided on the volley to micheal own in the first half?

and you call them 'flat crosses'

you should be sent to bed, with your teddy young man.

Do you not know?

(Beckham's right foot) will win the World Cup.

Beckham hit two or three sweet flat crosses, like the one that Terry scored from. That's what he is world class at. His cross for Gerrard wasn't world class, it was just lofted in, and anyone in that team can do that.

Unfortunately Becks's engine is going, he can't dribble, he can't tackle, he is poor in the air, he is not fast, and there are other players now who can take free kicks around the box as well as he can.

So yes, we'll do well if Becks can put in a load of flat crosses, and we've got someone on the end of them. Otherwise I'd rather have Lennon.

to lose, or at least not to win.
Fair enough. You may well be correct, but I would hope that they get over that, after all the team does contain a number of winners, and for some of them this is their last chance, so I hope they give it their best shot.
I thiink they have as much chance as almost everybody else in the competition this time round.

Heart says yes, head says no.

So you think it's because the england team expect

to lose, or at least not to win.

Worthy winners? I think not.

They won, didn't they? Does the English team have that winning mentality?
No. Germans and Brazilians EXPECT to win penalties, we EXPECT to lose.

[Dundeegeorge]

And when has that ever had much to do with it?

Note I'm not disagreeing, merely asking. It is after all a competition held in Europe (indicates a European win), where the host country (while usually winning) have a fairly crap team at the moment.

Because England is not good enuff, init?
