Rooney ban reduced to two matches, what a load of shit.
3 games was f**king ridiculous anyway, regardless of who the player was.
Your just pissed off cause it was a Utd player.

Not really. It was justified.

Bollocks
It was justified, that was thuggish behaviour from Rooney which needs to be harshly sanctioned to keep it out of the game.

Not in my book. Have seen two-footed leg brakers get less that that.
Two wrongs don't make a right, I'd have those tackles be a three-game suspension too. Rooney petulantly kicked an unsuspecting player from behind simply because he was pissed off that he coughed up possession easily, I'm very happy for players to sit out three games for that.

There is no arguement about him kicking the player from behind.However, it was NOT a leg breaker, it was stupid.
The point is that I have seen two footed leg breakers with studs up that did not get a 3 game ban.

Also agree on Group B picks.

This arrived today...
Ferdinand out of the Englander squad, same with Crouch and Richards.
Hopefully Terry not in the line up come announcement time too.

Well it turns out he is.
Good one Roy.
Deutschland FTW!
I can't understand this fetish managers in England have with Terry - he's an extremely objectionable person, and not that good of a footballer.
And picking Downing over Johnson? Carroll in the squad? What a strange squad that is.
I think this might be a last hurrah for quite a few of the English players. 7 of the squad are over 30 and Woy will need time to try and blood some new players for Rio.
I agree, strange squad. It's like they pick players based on what salary they earn at club level sometimes. Also seems like every English manager is scared of making big changes or doing something different to what the previous guy did. Meh, I just hope it means they crash out disgracefully in pool play. Love it when they underachieve.

Carroll goes good.

At least we can be sure that they won't let us down in this area.

Lets hope that they achieve and silence a few people.

Love your sig Buffy.
I know that it should be all about football, but I agree with EG and Buffy - Terry is a blight on the English game and I don't feel like supporting the team while he is in it. Same happened when Bowyer was playing.
I realise that the players can't be expected to be model citizens but equally they shouldn't expect wide spread support when they are utter @rseholes either.

Crashing out in pool play wouldn't be underachieving though

He is a blight on the game in general J82.
Woy said it should be just about footballing matters on how a side is picked, but there's two things wrong with that.
1) A football team relies on far more than just ability or skill if they want to be successful, and 2) Terry has been shithouse for lengthy parts of this season.
While not being a great fan of Terry, he is as much a blight on the game as many other players, past and present.
Tony Adams for example spent time in jail as did other top players.
This is an important tournament and I for one hope that England do well, with or without Terry.
Point taken Leggy and maybe I am being hypocritical (perhaps other current players are equally as morally reprehensible as Terry but we just don't know about it).
I hope England do well without him.
I hope he fucks things up monumentally for them when they need a result to progress. You can all see it happening.

Apparently SKY haven't yet obtained the right for EURO 2012.
Sky needs to pull finger, this seems to be happening all too often lately. They only got the rights to the NRL two weeks before the season started. The IPL 1 week after the season started and they have still not got rights to Wimbledon.
Come on SKY buck up your ideas we are paying premium prices to subscribe and we expect to be able to watch the top events in the world.
They have been advertising it. It's in their magazine too highlighting June sports events.
Sky don't have the rights to Euro. Satanta do.We have that in Oz and it costs an extra $8 per month.
Should be Setanta.
I've seen advertisements too, surely they can't advertise a product they don't have?
Looking at their website the times they are showing the games must be delayed, not live.So they are showing the games, just not live. Thats the way I read it.

SKY TV Hi Fred, we're hopeful we will have them, however rights are still being negotiated. The team at SKY Sport NZ can keep you abreast of any updates. Thanks!

Does anyone think its about time SKY got reigned in and sorted out to prevent their monopolistic behavior?
http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/other-sports/6953058/Sky-TVs-sports-influence-comes-into-question
It was always going to be Terry or Ferdinand, but not both. What probably swung it was Terry's partnership at club level, with Cahill, who seems to be improving all the time. Throw in Ashley Cole and you've got a club understanding in place(+ Glenn Johnson was a former Chelsea player). Ferdinand has been a far better player than Terry throughout his career, but at present, with his age, injury issues etc, it really was a 50/50 call. Hopefully Hodgson has judged it correctly.
aaarrrghh, how can they fail to get the rights?? aaaarrgghhh
