Better them than Drogba.

[Mod]

One of the best poll's this board has seen, and already showing the clear winner!

[JT26CFC]

hahaha this really made me laugh. thinking about it, the tree wouldn't be a bad choice :(

[blueday3]

I actually kind of like Luca Toni, he's goofy.

Luca Toni has really caught my eye this tournament, his speed, skill and goal awareness have truly been on another level to every one else.

[Alan]

You can't help but feel sorry for him really. The look on his face after each missed chance reminds me of a puppy (albeit a very lanky one with long hair).

[andy]

What I want to know is .. the tree ...is it a Araucaria araucana by any chance?

[Nibs]

That said, who was that bloke who came on for Spain last night? Utterly useless!! Every time he got the ball he shot and his shooting was abysmal. Only Spanish player to miss a penalty and I would have bet my house on him not scoring as he stepped up to take his pen.

Truly awful.

Although on the plus side, his name was pronounced (correctly or incorrectly) as Geezer, so I had a chuckle everytime he got the ball.

[Jimboola69]

I'd pick any of them above that French guy Gomis. Utter crud!

[Mr Chelsea]

i've gone for tree

just in case in the future he branches out into management

Di Natale became Di Natalie as well.

John Motson needs to be carted off to an institution sharpish.

[ethicalstrategy]

I was interested to see Capdavilia and Jarvi playing for Spain!

I've taken a leaf out of your book and done the same. I've just twigged that the root of Toni's problem is his basic lack of technique. He treats the ball not as a football but as a ball one might bo(w)le with. He also loses the head a lot but I've heard his bark is worse than his bite etc, etc, etc...

Anyone hear Motson, while the team sheet was up on the screen for Christ's sake, call Ambrosini, 'Albertini' twice in about 10 seconds.

He then swiftly followed it up by observing that the Spaniards were playing in 'all red'.

They weren't.

[BackInBlue]

Andy Gray called Buffon "buffoon" and had to apologise later while on live commentary. It was hysterical. :lol:

[loz]

Luca Toni?

You mean this fella?

[dkw]

i thought luca toni was playing for comedy value. not many people like the italian national teams way of playing, so they thought they would get people on there side by playing toni to give people a good laugh.

[geezer]

Can't believe I missed a bloody penalty! :lol:

[Tim]

To be honest mate, I can't believe you're showing your face after such a poor performance....

[PloKoon13]

I voted for Heskey.

Everyone would doubt him, but he'd pull it off... I can imagine his face when he does.

Although if he mucked up...

[TomW]

lol. Emile Heskey and Titus Bramble. Future world players of the year.

[Tim W]

Is that the new away kit the tree is in?

[Mod]

It is not a tree, it's a Ballerina! Look again!

(These mushrooms are good)
