The Gamecube one. I just got my Cube back after over a year absence with it (I had lent it to my friend when I left for my exchange year).

Tis true there are a lot of good players that aren't English in the Premiership. But it's not just the foreign players that set the bar high is it? The big thing is that club teams get to develop their teams over years. Our national side barely has a game or two together before the press gets on to someone having a bad game, or fans start booing people off the pitch.

All in all, football has got a bit ridiculous.

Everyone is too negative i feel.

It's like people feel we have a right to win simply because we're the home of football. Well i say that we are lucky to be one of the few teams that have won the world cup.

Lets see who else have won (going by memory)

Brazil = 5 times
Italy = 4 times
Germany = 3 times
Argentina = twice
Uruguay = twice
France = once
England = once

OK, thats 7 different countries ever. (and england didn't compete in some of the early competitions)

So big teams like Spain, Portugal and Holland have never won it.

No country outside of Europe and South America have ever won.

I hate football and everything about it. So I'm glad England missed their chance cos it'll mean when time comes for Euro 2008 people might shut up about it for once.

Footballers are only paid an amount in proportion to the revenue of the club. If the fans didn't want to pay it, they wouldn't. How is over-commercialisation? It's just a business, same as the rest.

I love football - although some people say "Oh it's only a game", it clearly has grown into something more than that. Whole communities and nations are brought together in support of eleven athletes kicking a ball round a pitch - absurd I know, which is why I like it so much. Football is religion.

I'm not too fussed that we didn't get through. It will give us a kick up the arse. The team was the best in the group in terms of quality, but not in terms of togetherness or tactics. We need to look towards the continent (especially Holland and France) for how to manage and produce a good attacking national team.

Actually prices are driven up by players wages. Thats why some fans are now being priced out. We can see the games on tv much cheaper than actually going there.

Anyway i think steve mclaren was the wrong manager for england in the first place. He was their 3rd or 4th choice. Now they are talking about getting Jose mourinho in as manager. That will be fun. Well, So long as we do well.

So you're saying wages drive up prices? It doesn't work like that.

partly, i know a lot of a football club's income comes from advertising and sponsorship deals along with merchandise. Or in some cases private money.
