England played with the devil and now will never get another World Cup title, so it's all good.

Joe Allen can pass the ball really well up to targets about 10 yards away.

So Legia beat that random Austrian team 3-1, despite missing exactly 5 one on one chances in the second half....

But the Austrians are very interesting this year around. Especially the Rapid Wien - Novi Sad games, first this goal last week
Link to video.
and then very interesting last 10 minutes just now, with a penalty kick, a line referee losing his flag, some red and yellow cards and very angry Serbs.
In any case, after we lucked out yesterday night with a very poor perfomance and still advanced (but that's a sign of a good team, right?), one other Swiss team advanced as well while the other went out with a 0-0 away and a 1-1 at home...
But still, mission 13th place is still possible for Switzerland.
Looking forward to the draw tomorrow.

Damn! I forgot to watch Liverpool tonight. A comfortable 3-0 victory over the mighty FC Gomel.
Just seen Johnson's goal what a cracker! Borini scored a good goal too.

Yesterday the UEFA Europa League Third qualifying round's second leg was played.
Today teams will know their fate in the Play-off.

Good you beat them, considering that they are right behind Poland in the coeffency and every other Polish club decided it was amateur hour.
I expect Legia to go through with a solid 3-1 on aggregate against Rosenberg.
Hannover however has a good chance of beating Slask 8-0.

I think Yaya Toure was £18 million. £3million more for a class apart in footballing quality. I think Rodgers ought to have bought a good foreigner overseas! Would have gotten far more value for money.
BENITEZ BY CHRISTMAS!
Writing angry letters? Please, have them sent to the Times.

According to a few online sources RVP has in the last hour signed for Manchester United for £23m + £220kpw.
Wonder if this is true...

I doubt it. I just don't see Arsenal selling to Man U... I'd expect them to sell to Juve at a reduced fee or let Van Persie run out his contract before selling him to their traditional main rival. If this does happen it's a clear indication of it being out of Wenger's control.
