It's just sad to watch at this point.

Although if you ever have trouble sleeping watching England is the perfect tonic.

And England are so lucky to manage to have an impressive score in a close game against a thrid world team.

Don't think the Scots would be too pleased to hear you calling them a third world team :lol:

FIFA have them ranked one place above Mali.

Having watched them play over recent years I find that generous. :wink:

Greece tying it in the 95th minute breaks my heart.

You gotta admit though, that was one hell of a goal.

It was a rather entertaining game with some strange antics... like Dzeko getting sent off for pulling Papadopoulos' shorts down. :lol:

Thomas Müller and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge slagging off San Marino. Müller basically saying games against them are pointless and Rummenigge saying San Marino has got nothing to do with professional football.

San Marino fired back even with a reference to the Nazis when he mentions that their bullying hasnt worked in the past.

Muller and Rummenigge were out of line with those comments, but that's some escalation on the San Marino guy's part. Good for him, I suppose.

The comments by Müller and Rummenigge were not nice and they shouldn't have said it to the media (they're 100% right, though). The response is supposed to be funny, I guess, but it's just as classless.

It's served to make me realise that even if you wear the most beautiful adidas kits, underneath you're always the ones that put white socks under their sandals.


I'm pissing my pants right now.

He's right. Why is he classless? How will kids in these smaller countries be able to watch the likes of Ronaldo, Bale and Neuer without qualifiers? It can't happen in club football, especially now where CL will mostly be teams from big leagues.

Also the minnows have improved. Look at Iceland. Luxembourg, Faroe Islands also improved. Netherlands struggled to beat Luxembourg yesterday.

Müller has always had that cocky Bavarian attitude to be honest. It's in their DNA to be a little bit cocky and arrogant. I like it, but in this case he is wrong.

Why is he classless? Did you read what he wrote? Of course it's okay to respond to what Müller said, but he did it as unoriginal as possible, using lame stereotypes. Childish and stupid.

And I don't see what's so arrogant. San Marino having nothing to do with professional is just a fact. You just don't say that to the media and Müller should know better.

BTW, this tells you so much more about the state of the Netherlands than about how much they've improved in Luxembourg. But I'm not even saying they should ban those teams or something like that. I'm okay with them, just don't see what's wrong with what Müller said.
