Title: These footballers that claim to be the Worlds best
Post by: I-was-there1976 on June 16, 2010, 04:57:23 pm

and im talking about all the players in the World Cup not just the fancied teams.

How come they cant deliver a football from a set piece somewhere near where they want it ? How many times do they hit the first defender ? Or plant it 20 yards over the bar ?

Compare it to the best golfers in the world who can hit the ball to within 10 ft 90% of the time from 50 yards.


To me its down to practice. When the footballers finish training they're off to the casino,races,golf course. When golfers finish their round they practice, practice, practice.



Footballers, overpaid, underworked w**kers

Yep. Mad isnt it?

Reasons such as the above why we are always dismal failures at Tournaments of late.

Don't forget they've been organising darts competitions too, so the poor fellas don't get bored. That'll come in useful when err....

Nice to see Crapello has given Barry forewarning he will be playing on Friday so he can prepare mentally for the challenge ahead.

Goalies of course need no such warning as we have seen, as in club football the team is announced the day before.

Has someone pointed out that in club football teams generally tend to stick with the same goalie all season and are therefore prepared to play anyway?

Capello is having another moan. \"worst football ever\",\"havent had chance to practice with it like the Germans\"


Meanwhile the boys loved the new course and Robert Green shot 10 over and played splendidly.

All for free as well. How nice
