Yep, I'm in.
Great article on the French meltdown in 2010, though focused on Henry's (non) role in the middle of everything: http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/may/15/world-cup-stunning-moments-france-implode
Didn't realise till the end that it's actually an extract from Philippe Auclair's book on Henry; 'Lonely at the Top'. Has anyone read that? Never really been interested in a football book before but this looks different from the rest, actually objective and critical.
Inverting the pyramid is a great football book, I bought it for my brother at christmas so that I could read it when he finished.
I've always wanted to read Arsรจnal too, never gotten round to it though. Need to read Bergkamp's book too.

That's idiotic. Sued for calling him a shit manager and tell him to fuck off?
Oh boy...
Last team to come from 2 behind in the FA cup final (to win) was Everton, in 1966 Atlรฉtico Madrid won la liga in 1966 Austria won Eurovision 1966 Real Madrid won European cup 1966 England won the World Cup...
...which means?
Wouldn't be the last time as weren't West Ham 2-0 up when Liverpool came back to win on penalties in 2006? Commentators on our coverage kept bringing it up as one of them was Shaka Hislop.
You have a point but West Ham then scored a 3rd.

In France the libel laws are very strict, it's very risky to publicly allege anything. Unlike other countries where we accuse everyone of everything.
Anyone doing the panini album
๐ He didn't sue that book which claimed he and the rest of the Marseille team were doping it up prior to the Champions League final in the nineties on the other hand.
๐ No.
Just come across this. What the top 10 would look like if played for points across World Cup history.
Germany includes West Germany.
Too small mate, can't view
Try clicking on this:
Although the Sth Americans will excel, I have a sneaking feeling that the European teams will do terrible, and the east Asian teams and even Australia will do better than expected. The reason being they simply will not be able to cope with the heat and humidity, it will have a huge impact on the games.
Sweden making the top 10!
