How on earth did I miss Wales :O lol
Thanks Rogue, know far more about ruggers now after a weekend in the chat being told off for chatting about footie again ahem ahem
I admire all professional sportsmen really, but some of those primadonnas bring in far more money over their contract than they get paid. The top few are competition winners and cant have a price put on them. Dont know what his new recently signed contract is but his last one (Messi) was £35mil per year before image rights and sponsor payments. In my view he is worth every penny too as players such as Messi fill the camp nou every second Sat. Only the top 10 per cent make the kind of money people believe all make. Corruption is in amateur sport too, anything that can be gambled on attracts the mobsters and brown envelops I say.
As an ex player and fan id be distraught if my team lost due to a dodgy team mate. But hey ive never heard of even the biggest divers in footie take a blood capsule out and fake injury :O
I have a mate who plays in the aviva and he wears a silly hat and pads under his shirt!! And you call footie players prima donnas lol
He even has his name and number embroidered on his boots .. seems the rugger chaps are becoming all football like
How do the clubs maintain the pay levels, which are decent now in the pro rugby league with only 4000 at a home game. Just doesnt add up to me, are they subsidised by the national organisation. My mates last team was and then went bust.
There is new financial rules coming for footie, but they wont work as Man City just got a 300mil sponsor deal for their stadium and Man U got another silly amount from DHL for their training tops. What the Americans do would be better.. draft every season to spread the skill around then the lower clubs would either get to the top or sell on a player for a huge sum.
I must have used man maths tipsy when i asked why there were only five too, cheers again and my bets on the ruggers are buggered already lol

ENGLAND:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:
enjoyed a great day out at twickers yesterday even though it was cold brrr. and i'm happy to say that the better side lost thank god,
Having being blessed with skill and co ordination therefore gifted at the beautiful non psycho decent paid game that is Footie. How can you even say they were better never mind you are happy to say it before thanking god!!
Winning is everything, if it doesnt matter who wins .. its pointless surely. No one remembers second. Id never be happy or admit they were better or won either .. but hey.. although those traits bring negatives to footie games .. you need the passion to have them ..
Ive found out in this post a bit though .. its only 80 they play.. Italy is a nation i missed doh .. forwards play at the back and backs are at the front with funky ears and looks worse than nigel been after eubank did some work again.
The shorts are too tight too and some of the backs need the atkins and gym by the looks. Dont look professional with a belly hanging out above your shorts surely..
Back to work for now.. is England going to win this one then... what do they get if they do? Or are they all freindlies like the old home internationals in footie?
So many questions still, but hey ... ill answer any footie ones if you enlighten my ruggers lack of ..
Cheers guys .. passed an hour here with my nonsense .. have a great week you lot and enjoy the next lot of games too

How can you not enjoy the game with fantastic coverage like "The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey" - (Brian Johnston as Peter Willey faces up to Michael Holding)
or
" Turner looks a bit shaky and unsteady, but I think he's going to bat on...one ball left" - (Brian Johnston after Turner was hit in the box area by the penultimate ball of the match)
Much more exciting than the moronic musings of the football commentators.... "GOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL"
Well I have to say France staged a dramatic comeback and earned a well deserved draw today so....
At least they won't lose every match this tournament ;-)
