ace Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 A thread for the new season of pointless friendlies and not-so-pointless World Cup Qualifiers. Feel free to post anything and everything about how our guys fare on their international breaks, including youth players. I'll start off by saying that Lampard has been given the armband for England this week, which is always nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomW Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Anyone else watching England game? I'm sure some woman in the crowd was doing the Nazi salute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewCrew Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I really like this Brazil lineup. I wonder if Mano thinks this is close to his strongest squad? Playing Ramires on the right wing also. Good to see him back on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewCrew Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 3-0 Brazil now. Ramires set up the last goal. Oscar was sharp. Plays a very smart game. Luiz actually looked like he limped off a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ace Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Just saw that Lamps is on 91 England caps. He'd be on 94-95 if he had gone to Euros, so I'm hoping that injury doesn't prevent him from reaching the century mark, as he deserves it. Also, Ash is 98, while Gerrard is on 96. Really hope Ash gets his next 2 in before Gerrard gets 4, as that would negate any chance of Cole getting the armband. Unbelievably, JT is only at 77.

Andreas Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Any injury updates or did we manage to stay clear of all those? if so im very happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moos Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Any injury updates or did we manage to stay clear of all those? if so im very happy Luiz seemed to be in some pain when he went off against Sweden. Haven't heard if he's alright to play against Wigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damnation Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Luiz seemed to be in some pain when he went off against Sweden. Haven't heard if he's alright to play against Wigan. I saw that too, but he looked alright afterwards. It was probably just a knock, as Robbie would've mentioned it today if it were something serious.

TJB Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Good to see Frank scoring 2, even if it was only Moldova. Not so good to see was Terry going off injured. Hope it's not serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgian_SW6_Lover Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Belgium won 0-2 in Cardiff against Wales.. Kompany's header on a corner for the 0-1 Verthongen scored a free kick,very hard kick straight on goal 0-2 Before that there was a red card for Collins... Hazard was at the background but that was normal in this game,did not had to give 100 procent. Lukaku who said he not wanna start this game,came in after the break and was not fit enough and forgot to keep it simpel. De Bruyne got a minute of 30 I think ,and I was impressed...I'm not a De Bruyne fan but I think this gonna change. Courtois was belgium's nr1 ,Mignolet on the bench.Courtois had a great save on a very difficult shot from Bale,otherwise it was 1-1. For me match of the man was Mertens,but it was more a collective result,the disipline they needed to win this game was there.. I hope next Tuesday against Croatia,our Hazard will not get injured...

CodyBound Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Farce. Gerrard flashes up as MOM and crowd goes wild. Then all of a sudden announcer stops, and Lampard is named MOM. Crowd boos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evissy Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Watched Belgium-croatia yesterday. Courtois in goal, Hazard playing full game, De Bruyne coming from the bench. Ended 1-1. Hazard was a bit of a disappointment but he was very much guarded the whole game. He had the coat-treatment. Courtois was very mature although not that much pressure on him. One nice 1 vs. 1 that he very nicely handled. De Bruyne was dangerous coming on. Nice crosses and he has pace. I like him. Glad he is a Chelsea player. Can't wait to see him play for us in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on KDB, he was great, almost gave the match winning pass, just that guy whose name I cannot remember, didn't finish it off well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on KDB, he was great, almost gave the match winning pass, just that guy whose name I cannot remember, didn't finish it off well. It was Mirallas that missed the golden chance... Also Benteke missed a lot,big difference was that periic scored that kind of chance in the 6th minute and Benteke did not with the same kind of chance... But our superb Belgian commentator,told he had a very good game as a striker,how can that be true if you got 6 good chances and don't score...pfff Hazard started average,but was a maestro in the second half..a nice combination between De Bruyne and Hazard... Courtois did an fantastic job and hold us on 1-1.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
