the clause in Donadoni's extension was that the FIGC considered anything less than semis a failure...

who will be the man to step up?

Will Donadoni be sacked?

Thought the team structure, especially in the last game didn't suit him.

Ie a fringe that keeps falling over their eyes.

Bring back the Downs cut from the 60's Swanny, number two all over!!!

I don't care who wins as long as the final is classic with lots of goals, maybe a 4-3 win.

Thought I'd extend on the recent occurences re expulsion of Burundi S.C. Why is it that not one anglo team has been punished for pitch invasions & or brawls. It seems to me that Bob Cox & his partners in crime seem to only penalise the ethnic (non anglo) clubs for bringing the code into dis...

Whats the rule about swearing on the field is it a stright red? becuase a player on my team last week got a straight red when he got hacked down and the player that hacked him got a red and so did the boy on my team for swearing back at him. isn't it ment to be atleast a yellow??

Just think its a cruel end to the game.

I just hope FIFA can find an answer.

I'd like the final replayed.

fact: holland are the worst at penalties Not even aware of there record in them. Can you enlighten me please EDIT: According to my research, here is the record for the teams named so far England: Won 1 Lost 5 Holland: Won 1 Lost 4 Italy: Won 2 Lost 5 Spain: Won 3 - Lost 3 (I really thought their re...

How many teams in that division, would that be Twentieth

My tip for relegation now.

Agree with you Hawkesy here, Mcloser will stuff them up.

What do Roma fans think, sign Kewell or not?

ordinary move for Blackburn tbh Has produced wonders with both MK Dons (Wimbledon) and Macclesfield. OK not a BIG name in managerial ranks but amongst the best of the upcoming young managers. Good to see Ince cut his teeth in the lower leagues first (even if I despise the cabernet) I blame him for ...

I would prefer to see a replayed match - but that is just not going to happen with amtch schedules etc. Suggestion A) 30 minutes extra time with each team required to take a player off the pitch every 5 minutes, meaning the last 5 minutes would be 6-a side. Include golden goal in that and surely th...

Just wondering whether other posters find penalties a frustrating way to decide big games.

They did lose , great result for Spain.

If any Spanish fans are watching this, dont even bother waking up for it. Your teams already eliminated.

Bet they are glad they got up!!!

Was the game itself boring?

Well done Spain!!!

Ethnic clashes, sounds softer than football hooligans.

Maybe on consistancy over the years Scholes might be in front, but age would count against him.

Might be boring and the games lacking atmosphere due to declining crowds.

However you cannot ignore the success at a national and have to admire their ability to bring on quality young players. The current Italian side is not boring and if they can get past Spain, would back them to win the trophy.

The hand of god against England was worse than that!!! Not really, did have a massive impact on the game, but when I watched it live i wasn't sure untill the replay and with the Spanish disallowed goal it was easy to see at real time that the ball was never out. I think Maradonna's hand goal had a ...
