i cant grow a beard, trust me ive tried =(

looks like a rampage imo, should be 5-0 rofl.

i was yelling at the TV 'COME ON HESKEY, JUST PROVE US ALL WRONG!!' the man cant score, twice 1 and 1 with the keeper, twice he fumbled rofl, i understand Capellos thoughts but surely a striker should be able to beat a keeper 1 vs 1 to be considered world class =/

And what was with Rooney going goal bound from his own half haha.

and Chaz, i thought you were on holiday with you bird =o How was/is it?

Yeah I explained on the other page that they're protective of me and won't let me travel by myself until I'm 16. Which I understand.

Trio, I never say I'm attending tourneys I just say I'll try my best to get there. When did that ever mean 'YEP IM 100% CONFIRMED FOR THIS'. It's not my fault **** comes up and you interpret my words as 'CONFIRMED'.

You guys do realise that if me Cal n Brad were allowed to travel to London, Manchester etc, we would certainly do it if we had the money.

Trio: Croatia were a mess, England walked all over them, doesnt mean we were perfect. We opened the scoring with a Penalty. Lennon made a run accross the box, the Defender got in the way, Twas a cliche penny that was deffo a penalty given the rules these days> Lampard slotted it in the Left hand corner.

Second came with some lovely play finding Gerrards head for a nice 2nd goal. Also Heskey cant score for poo rofl.

Second half was the same as the first. 2 more goals from 2 more headers by Lampard and Gerrard giving them 2 goals a piece. Makes you wonder if England have enough talent with their feet if were only scoring from Headers though.

They managed to scrape one back with some great attacking play. Green stopped the first effort but left the ball hanging around, a second shot was saved again but imo it should have been caught, the ball bobbled out once again and was hit in the back of the net, messy but it counts rofl.

One last goal came from Rooney, nothing good at all, their defender passed it back to the keeper who instead of clearing it, miskicked and sent it flying accross the goal mouth and Rooney was there to make it 5-1.

All in all a good match and good to watch. Lennon was man of the match rightly so because the speed in attack was amazing. The word on the street was Englands defense down the right side was our weakness but we responded by attacking down the right side 70-80% of the time rofl, still a possible weakness there but room for improvement ios always a good thing.

Willz: your 15 dude, its cool that your so understanding about your parents protectiveness, personally id push for more independence but A. im not you and B. i know nothing about your situation.

As for the rest of you, leave of him alreet, if he turns 16 and his parents are still the same... THEN you rip the ****e outa him haha.

Haha nice to see you're understanding joe. Yeah I've tried to let me do my own thing but the most I can get out of argueing with them is I have to go with my bro. Who doesn't like competitive Smash much and will only take me places if he wants to go to them as well (like I go London with my bro for the London MCM Expo). But yeah, when I turn 16 and if they still prohibit me from travelling. Yeah you can rip on me then.

cool man

but leave heskey alone, maybe he did miss those 2 chances but apart from that he did some excellent playmaking and winning/keeping of the ball

we nearly scored when he forced an error from the defense only lennon couldnt finish it and he got man of the match!

Glad to hear it dude, i can imagine you on holiday, mingling seemlessly, not appearing a tourist at all. **** you and your charm!

Also does this mean your coming on the 19th? =o=o=o

Coey: i know what you mean, Heskey is a great asset when it comes to playmaking but you cant miss chances like that, Heskey cant do anything when the balls at his feet, as much as we all diss him every english person alive wanted him to prive us all wrong by sinking in a goal, put he didnt, not once but twice.

I thin Capello is right to keep Defoe as a super sub but why not try Carlton Cole in the first half. The only reason i can think of is that Capello wants to play 2 completely different halves of football, but we just watched a match were someone who can finish would have gotten us 2 goals.

i've talked about heskey more with joe lol wanted to keep it off the boards, we agreed that heskey is a good strong solid player who is able to wear down and tire a defense and his size can force mistakes, then with that done capello is free to bring on a sub like defoe whos energy and pace is much more useful against a weary defense and means that we get the goals we want then. we dont need to score every chance to win convincingly i think if anything thats what england proved tonight. we've never been the side with the most grace or style or finese. we play good, solid, by the book football, focusing on wearing down the opposition by means of tiring and agrivation.

incase anyone cared..

Loool the match was too funny, yeah Joe Croatia were terrible, should have been like 8-1 in the end lol if Hesky didnt keep missing all his shots, were automatically through now right? With 2 games in hand, i still dont think England played to there full potential tbh, but if England keep on form were heading for a good result. Ohh and who played in the startin lineup?

Edit: Nvm i get it on BBC

Willz: perhaps tell your parents way in advance, that way you can get a conditional response, 'you can go if you do this...' swat i used to do back in the day. Also by knowing in advance they are more likely to say yes, mainly to do with our painfully slow acceptance/denial drives rofl.

On top of that if gives you time to reassure them that youll be safe with trustworthy friends, it also gives them time to contact these friends or these friends parents haha. I imagine being a parent is mega stressful so taking the time to reassure them would be mega awesome for them.

PS. not being patronising, just trying to help

looking forward to this, and on that note who can bring setups and for what game. brawl? melee? a wii with copies of both???? please let me know i currently have one setup of melee and 5 tv's. please let me know if you can help matters.
I'm happy to bring along my Wii / Brawl, like I said. I have character texture hacks though, so some people might end up all "WTF I CAN'T PLAY THAT AIN'T MY CHARACTER WTF" and stuff.


@ Rake / Willz - find out whether you're going man lol. I'm going to panic if I think we're going to get a lift and it turns out we have to bus it. :[ also if Rake is going to give us a lift there and back, I only need to buy myself a ticket from here to Sheffield and not to Bolton... which will save me some money. :/

:\

And the last time I played you online Rake, I ***** you. lol. c-c-c-combo! TWICE lol. that replay makes me laugh.

EDIT RITE THAR

I'll be on MSN / Brawl in about two hours, Rake. ;)

I'm not sure if I have the IC texture hacks. I can only recall installing ones for Yoshi, MK, Falco, Fox and a few others.

I can always take them off if they're going to be a hassle, otherwise people will have to deal with them. I have the infinite replay thing so >_> it will be useful.
