Figueroa was a flop at Birmingham, ditto Aloisi at Coventry. Aloisi has a decent record at international level, but this is because of the quality of the opposition Australia play in their qualifiers. Ali Daei has a similar record because of the quality Iran play at international levelQuote:

So you're saying Germany and Argentina are poor opposition. he scored twice against them both. :confused:Quote:

I haven't seen much or Argentina so I can't comment on themQuote:

And this is a cause for complaint? :confused: :pQuote:

Yeah, I know channel 5 is channel pish, but it is handy now and again as it does show the odd football game, and it is showing this confed cup.... :mad: Apart from that, it is the biggest load of kack on tv... :rolleyes: :DQuote:

What part of Scotland you live in? My sis lives in Aberdeen and she can't get Channel 5 either, though she doesn't complain. ;)Quote:

I'm in Glasgow, it is just because i have a real crap TV, it can't tune into it, i think the tv is too old, one of my flatmate's is leaving soon, and she's has the flat's spare tv and it is great, it's coming to me next! So annoying i am missing these games, just puts you in the mood for the world cup. i am glad argentina are on form, i would rather see them hammer brazil, sick of brazil winning :rolleyes: i think japan will do well next year.Quote:

Can someone explain the relevance of Trevor Steven to an Irish football audience? Dolan, at least, is offering some insight. Nice to hear the views of a contributor who actually knows the game and whose footballing horizons don't end at Dover.
I'd never even heard of Trevor Stephen til he popped up on RTE. Riquelme's free was something else, Cambiasso's was good too. I can't stand Germany. I hope Argentina, Mexico or Brazil (if they qualify for the semis) win it.
Showing your youth so.Quote:

Leave Trevor alone. I met him at a function in Dublin last year and chatted with him for ages. A really nice, genuine guy. He gave me his e-mail address and we exchange e-mails now on various football matters. He is an agent for Steven MacLean, the Wednesday striker.Quote:

What a game by Adriano. Two great goals AND he put the Germans out. :D Bring on the match tonight. I say 2-1 Mexico.
