Wilson's match with Hart in RoH was a real snooze.

Italy need to win regardless, they only have 2 points, Sweden and Denmark have 4 already.

English Dragon- gone, and, well, forgotten.

Well, from WWE's point of view: Booker- retiring in a year or so, not worth pushing RVD- generally given up on Cena- they dont want to do face vs face, or turn either he or Eddie heel Taker- proven to be a non draw as champ Rey/Chavo- cruisers, WWE will never allow them to main event a PPV Haas- a midcard tag team wrestler, not even remotely hoss like So there, thats why they would go with Mordecai. Not saying its right, but thats the logic.

Ermest Hemingway Oliver Reed Michael Caine Let the drinks roll.

Smackdown is a dead show. Let them experiment with new guys, what harm can it do? It's a shame they moved Matt Hardy (and Albert, to a lesser extent) to Raw. I would have liked an Eddy-Matt feud.

Hogan was always the man. It takes this for some of you to realise? I say bring him back to Smackdown right now

Wow, Italy are in trouble here. So they need to hope Sweden beat Denmark while they beat Bulgaria. Or if Sweden-Denmark is a draw, they need to beat Bulgaria by more than 2 goals to knock out Denmark.

Dan Black vs. The Sadist; T.Bod and JINGUS barred from ringside.

Ah, well I'll keep an eye on that. Williams vs. Hero would be pretty great.

Doug in IWA? Is that confirmed? I'd be all over that tape.

Theres going to be huge pressure on Italy tonight to get a win. I think Sweden might hold them to another draw, and it'll all get complicated in the final round of matches.

I'd bring in Hargreaves and Vassell for Scholes and Owen. Well actually I'd play Bridges at left back and Ashley Cole left midfield, but we know that's never going to happen. Whatever the team, I think the Croatia match is going to be a battling 0-0 performance. Then we'll probably lose to Greece on penalties or something.

2-2, lucky French again! So England need a point against Croatia to qualify...

Yeah, they went over at every opportunity. Not a convincing performance, Owen and Scholes disappointing again. But then we never play well against the smaller teams. Does anyone else watching the ITV coverage agree that Clive Tyldsley (sp?) is the worst-commentator-ever?

Like...England I'm still expecting it to be renamed "American" at some point.

Apart from 10 mins after the goal, a pretty poor first half performance really. Let's just hope we can nick another one.

Yeah, I can't see the logic behind it. Lampard was great against France so he gets stuck back into the defensive midfield role...

Rock doesnt need the WWE. They should be grateful he still drops by to help out. And I don't get the whole "he should come back full time or stay away forever" arguement. It's not like he goes over anyone or steals heat.

Apparently England are going back to the diamond today...

A good read. I like the fossil fuel/drug analogy.

I guess that's a good result for England...we'd prefer to play Greece...right?

1-1 final score...neither team looking all that impressive.
