It sucks that bigger countries are protected in the play offs

Well apart from Iceland there isn't an easy game from the rest.

Bendtner summoning the pwoer of the samurai. Poor Balzaretti had no chance. Bendtner to be Arsenal's new striker signing.

Townsend is an awesome player.

Andros Townsend was released by #THFC at 15 years old, refused to be told he was out & kept coming into training ground! Great perseverance!

 

[AnfieldEd]

So Townsend going to be hyped up by the media now?

Yup now he'll be the next Gareth Bale...

Chile were robbed by the ref. 3-0 up then a man gets sent off and two questionable penalties to penalcao who of course converts them.

No they weren't. Two clear yellows and the penalties were rightly called. Maybe the first pk was a 50 50 call but the second one was 100℅ pk...Chile though they had won the game and they paid for it.

Probably. It is a great story though. Released by Spurs but refused to stop coming to training, had to go through nine different loans and nine different clubs, forced his way into the Spurs first team despite them buying a load of stars, now he scores a screamer on his England début. Brilliant.

Pérez preparing a bid as we speak.

and he's already played for 10 out of 92 professional clubs in England....would be a truly amazing story if he goes on to become a top player....I think he will be better than Walcott but will not reach the level of Bale....

 

[AnfieldEd]

He'll be lucky to reach the level of Walcott.

And Shirokov strikes again! Top midfielder.
