rodshaw Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 That said, he didn't look happy when he scored. I was rather surprised, but I suspect if you're only considered good enough for the bench at a major tournament (and club for the most part)...I'd be regretting leaving first team football at Arsenal, personally, but hey ho... Just another scoring celebration routine, I suspect. It must be hard to think of something original... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 You think we have weather problems? There's one hell of a storm in the Ukraine which has stopped the Ukraine v France game after 4 minutes. Torrential rain and thunder and forked lightning right overhead. Thankfully the ref got everyone off the pitch as quick as possible... I'll be amazed if the game goes ahead now...

gordon s Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Yup they are certainly the better side tonight. One thing I did notice was a green laser on Samir Nasri when he went to take a corner. Let's hope they deal with that before the England game against Ukraine. As always we seem to get the game when the home side need to win to qualify.....or God forbid a draw may be enough if England fail to fire on all four.....

RMweb Gold PhilH Posted June 15, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 15, 2012 The more I see of Carrol's goal the more impressed I am by it. Great ball in but what a bullet header - the slomos of it are fantastic. Great goal! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.A.C Martin Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) What a game! Carrolls goal was excellent - Theos was just as good! Have to say though, Wellbeck gets the nod from me today. Pure class that backheel. Edited June 15, 2012 by S.A.C Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 ....Wellbeck gets the nod from me today. Pure class that backheel. I had the distinct feeling that there was quite a lot of luck involved in that one - heel it, and pray it goes in the right direction. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Perhaps we'll never know! I tend to think that all goals of that sort (including overhead kicks - the other version!) have an element of luck... But that doesn't mean to say that there's no skill involved, it takes some skill to be able to even try it in the first place, and to get it to succeed... Perhaps there's less luck than we think... Look at it another way, whenever we see a close up of a player heading the ball into the net they have their eyes closed!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohmisterporter Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 That's why 'arry didn't get the England job, the press would have hounded him until they forced him out of the job. At least Roy looks squeaky clean, so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Just a question. Why did Greece go through to the next round rather than Russia? Both had same points but Russia goal difference better than Greece. Am I missing something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry - as soon as England lose the hounds will be unleashed and even a non story will be splashed as though it were the end of the world. Cynical? Moi? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
