I like the idea .

at Scotland losing 5-1 in the USA .

I just thought those two post deserved to be together.

Fearing the worst that Brendan Rodgers is going to go to Liverpool. If he does go hope we get a manager who will carry on with our passing philosophy.

Looks like he is.... Bad move. Just watch his managerial reputation beig ruined at Liverpool, like Kenny and Roy's have.

Hope they don't come sniffing around Tony Mowbray, he's Boro's and is doing a fine job.

Yay 5-1 win over Scotland. Game against Brazil was a lot closer than the 4-1 scoreline showed, but Brazil obviously finished a lot better. And that wasn't the full team it was the u-23 olympic players with a few overage.

Beating Scotland at any sport, apart from the Highland Games, isn't much of an achievement

 

[soccerman17]

Well I dont think the Americans would fair too well in a rugby or cricket match. But the Americans were probably favored to win, but definitely not favored to win by 4 goals!!!

 

[teabagyokel]

soccerman17 - I'm not sure the Scots can play cricket either. Rugby I'll give you.

 

[Slyboogy]

A bit generous there teabagyokel ...

 

[soccerman17]

Never said they could theyre just a lot better than Americans at it. We tend to prefer baseball.

 

[Brogan]

We call it Rounders

Interestingly though, from that page:

The game of rounders has been played in England since Tudor times,[1] with the earliest reference[1][5] being in 1744 in A Little Pretty Pocket-Book where it was called "base-ball".

Apologies for the off topic post

Extremely off topic and not anything that anybody probably cares about, but fifth-tear amateur squad Cal FC, coached by former US Men's National Team player Eric Wynalda, knocked the MLS's Portland Timbers out of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

We all like a good cup shock, apart from when your team's being knocked out!

Didn't really want to create a new thread but:
I would just like to express my sincere and solemn grievances that Andy Murray lost to David Ferrer in the French Open.

I'm sure all of the world's top tennis players are ABEs. They're certainly not English...

To be fair he was never going to win this tournament. Clay's his weakest surface and considering his extremely patchy form going in to the tournament I think he did well getting to the quarter-finals.

Sky and BT have bought the premier league live rights for.........£3 BILLION (last time the rights were for sale they were worth 'only' £1.2 billion).
