We've qualified. That's already better than the last 12 years. Let's not go too far. Yet. :)
I like Lukaku and Dembele a lot, I will be pulling for them at the WC.....even if Hazard and Felani are a little bit on the douchey side...
Hazard is actually a cool & funny guy. But I fully agree he comes across as a douche.
Fellaini... I wish I could undo the Fellaini -> Man Utd transfer. :(

Didn't he equalise for Everton in the 4-4? Reminds me of the Thomas --->Liverpool transfer...

I think Belgium will go further than England, you'll probably knock us out. Atleast we're there, I couldn't have dealt without England building us up and then going out on penalties in the 2nd round.

Ow, if we meet, England are so out. We still feel the pain of that horribly cruel and undeserved David Platt goal. :cry:

What a mess they're in. New Zealand takes on Mexico next month and usually we wouldn't have a chance but they're in such a state of disarray that anything could happen. R... right?

I hope El Tri gets in, a World Cup absence would open their eyes and wake them up. Let them slip in and continue going about things as they are.

That was Pienaar. Fellaini scored the 2nd goal.

Ah I see. Cheers. Strange for Everton to do City a favour, when you combine the manc-scouse rivalry with the difference in preference between United and Liverpool, I always thought they might have a secondary rivalry going.

Wigan did City a bigger favor when Moses parted the Red Sea at DW.

That's Kasami goal was pretty special. Sidwell's wasn't bad, either.

Wilshere's far better though. But then I always have it for team efforts.

Yeah I agree. It's almost like there should be 2 categories, one for team goals and one for screamers. But as much as I can sit and watch goals like the 2 last night all day, it's the build up, guise and movement of a team goal that really gets me going.

Broad statement though it is, I think Wilshere's may be a better team goal than Carlos Alberto's in the 1970 World Cup Final. I said this to a Man Utd fan at work today who normally jumps at the chance to squash any suggestion that Arsenal should be complimented in any way and even he agreed.

Sorry, but this doesn't work for me. One was in a World Cup final against Italy where they pretty much made fun of the entire Italian team one by one. The other in an October league game against Norwich. Let Arsenal do the same in a title decider/CL-final and I might agree. Barça scored goals like these for fun the past 5 years.

Or as some would say: it might be a great goal, but could they do it on a cold Monday night at the Brittannia? ;)
