A pedant writes....actually, football was historically so called, because one played with a ball whilst on foot (ie, running or walking), as opposed to on horse....that's why rugby & AF & their variants are still called football,even though most of the play is by hand.....

Portsmouth 4-0!

So, what do you guys think about Portsmouth's chances of oh, let's say, an European competition spot?

Man I was at the Fulham v Sheffield Utd game this weekend.

We play quite good football, but just can't get it done in the final third. I don't think we'll be getting too many points away from home this year :(

Yea. But there always will be teams in the middle with similar number of points. Then again, only 5 spots can be played for Europe and I think its safe that Chelsea, Man U, us and Liverpool will probably get at least one of those places. With the Spurs playing like sh*t as of late, I really find that 5 teams including West Ham, Portsmouth have a good chance to grab that spot.

Anyways, what a boring game that Italia played today, drawing with Lithuania!

And the Dutch only getting a 1-0 win on Luxembourg, maybe Van Basten should change his tactics.

Yea. Maybe the loss of Arjen Robben on the wings and Van der Vaart in the midfield really benefited to that. Luckily I only heard of the game, but I also watched a bore of a game. Italy vs. Lithuania

But it wasn't really that bad, I mean but I just didn't like how conservative they were playing against Lithuania...

Yea....

Surprises like this one always can happen, but the anniversary of last year's shock of England by Northern Ireland, this time they beat Spain.

And Italy lost to France.

Macedonia after all drew with the Netherlands during WC 2006 qualifications and their home games are always REALLY TOUGH.

You didn't watch the World Cup Final!

IMO, they played really poorly offensively and sat back too much. Did not look like the Italian teams of the past, while I love watching the French every single time.
