Did anyone see the Arsenal - Man Utd game?
United played the perfect sit back, soak up all the pressure and then hit them on the break. Nani probably played the best game I've seen of him for United and Rooney was excellent as usual. England have a chance in the WC but only if Rooney is there, he will be the difference between quarters finals or the semi's/final.
About my own team (West Brom), we are 3rd and a point behind 2nd with a game in hand. I'm mixed on us this season to be honest, we play well and get my hopes up then go and screw it up a few games later. We have 3 games coming up where we should be getting 6 points bare minimum and I'd take that tbh (average 2 pts a game from here on out and we go up).
I'm also going to Plymouth away on Sat then Reading away in the cup the following week. Can't beat away games.

How tall can a soccer player get before said height begins to decrease his effectiveness? I mean in all facets of his game and not just footspeed? Could a tall player actually function as a goalkeeper if properly trained?Last edited by Rosebud; 02-21-2010, 11:53 AM.

Originally posted by Rosebud View PostYou realize most goalkeepers are quite a bit taller than you're average person right? Average height is around 5'9", and even Iker Casillas, one of the shorter successful keepers, is taller than that at 5'11" as is Akinfeev at 6', Buffon is 6'3", german national keepers Rene Adler and Manuel Neuer are 6'3" and 6'4" respectively, Petr Cech is 6'5", Kahn was 6'2", Edwin Van de Sar is also a tall mofo at 6'5". So in fact all successful keepers are technically tall, and many are really tall 6'3"-6'5". As long as you have the quickness and intelligence being taller just makes it easier to be a keeper.

So we lost to Bristol City at the weekend, horrible second half performance and too many players just wern't bothered. Graham Dorrans is going to be a star though, don't expect many of you to know him but he'll be in a top 10 team within 3 years, and top 6 within 5.
FA Cup replay tonight with a chance at a quarter final game against Aston Villa, so a local derby for a semi-final opportunity would be fantastic. Just hope no one gets injured or suspended, our squad is threadbare as it is right now.
I support West Brom incase people don't know...Currently 3rd in the Championship with a game in hand over 2nd.
Landon Donovan has also been quite a hit at Everton so far, a group of fans have also set up a facebook group for him wanting to stay: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/st...ngland&cc=5739
Your boy's done good over here, like many others.
