My dreamteam is fucked now that the czech's lost, I had 4 of their back 5(including GK),At least rehagel was my manager. I'm calling it now, Bolton sign Zagorakis or the Greek Goalie in the next few weeks. Sunday will probably have the most boring international final since 1994,Sven must be looking at greece and thinking that his tactics are sound since he uses the same system(if we want to win every match 1-0 maybe we should hire the Greek coach on a 100,000 a year deal) It's a shame they scrapped the 3rd place playoffs in the euro's because I'd love a Czech/Holland rematch.

DDP was one of the first guys to train in the powerplant and he did pretty well.

His return was on international Heat in a Tag Title match with Rhyno, So his return was as bad as you can get.

Bulgaria vs Denmark was my worst, Latvia vs germany was entertaining for me because you could see the germans getting more pissed as the game went on.

I think he was just jealous of Benoit. Benoit had also beaten him in the 1st round of the US title tournament and in the Number 1 Contender Tournament before Backlash so Rhyno was probably angry that he couldn't beat Benoit.

There are no hidden wrestlers.If any of the 5 names you mentioned were included then Acclaim would have been promoting it on their site.

How did Val Venis turn heel in 2000? One week he was Porn Star Val and the next he was Serious Val with trish managing him.

Scotland did the same as well.

Undertaker killed both of kane's parents and yet out of the 2 Kane is the "monster".

La parka suffered really badly from the breakup of the LWO, His only memorable Nitro appearance before the Russo era was in that Mexican Hardcore match which had the worst announcing i've ever seen.

I'm glad we have a home fixture on the first day, Torquay sold their main striker to Wigan so I can see a nice comfortable 2-0 win.

The trouble is, if we want Arsene Wenger for example and he was interested he'd want the £5 Million a year Sven is on and would rightly feel he'd deserve more as he's proved himself over here. I say give Curbishley the job and put one of the young english coaches(Allardyce if he'd accept) as assisant ready to replace Curbishley in the future. Edit: Now i've been reminded of the World Cup Qualifier group i see no reason why Erikkson/His replacement shouldn't qualify as group Winners.

With Euro 2004 over for England and the fixtures announced this thread should be bumped again.

Any positives from the tournament besides rooney? I for one feel that the debate of who to play at left back should be over, Cole and Campbell look comfortable playing together and Cole has more pace than Bridge(he's in a similar situation to what Nigel Winterburn was 10 years ago, he stuck behind a Great left Back) Gary Neville has actually won me over at this tournament and considering he had Beckham in front he coped great. I'm really worried about Beckham, he can cross a ball well but so can Gerrard so picking Beckham based on his set pieces is stupid and without that desire he showed before he left manchester he's not worth his place. Edit: Agreed on the Czech prediction, they seem capable of playing at a higher standard than anyone else.Baros and Poborsky look quality so far.

I think it's because in 99/2000 Keegan picked him for England in the Left Back role and then when Cole came on the scene we'd hoped to never see him in the squad again, after about a year though Eriksson put him back in the squad and people weren't happy.

The Cole/Ronaldo battle was great to watch and Cole showed defenders how to play against Ronaldo. I was baffled when I saw Gerrard come off seconds after he'd cleared the ball from the edge of our area, I'll take a Knackered Gerrard over a fit P.Neville any day of the week(see his attempted challenge on Rui Costa before the 2nd goal)

How can you forget about Campbell, Cole and neville, they carried us for 120 minutes tonight.

On the subject of PPVs in the UK, does anyone know why WCW refused to show their PPVs over here? Off topic did Nitro on TNT ever get more viewers than Raw Is War on Sky Sports? I remember powerslam saying that WCW didn't have a single victory in our "Friday Night Wars".Wouldn't surprise me because while the WWF was doing specials on QVC over here and tours WCW did nothing in terms of tours or merchandising and I never saw the WCW magazine in a shop until 2000.

Any reasons for the substitution? Norton wrestled Cat on Nitro shortly after(he lost after getting hit with a crowbar) so I doubt he was injured.

I saw Baros to finish top scorer and Czechs to win tournament at 100-1 in November when Baros was injured, I wish I had taken that bet instead of Italy and Cassano top scorer at 75-1, at least I only put a tenner on though. Edit:We have Torquay at home in our first game in Coca Cola League 1, there's a slim chance that Helen Chamberlain will be in the away end Poor Barnsley, they've got MK Dons away.

Wasn't horace a replacement for Scott Norton?

Who are we supposed to play in the semis? Is it Denmark/Czechs or Sweden/Group D Runner Up? I hope we avoid the Czechs until the final. Eriksson has started the mind games by saying Portugal are technically the best team here, nice idea but from what I've seen the Czech team look far and away the best team left and if they had a Sol Campbell type defender in their side they'd be impossible to beat.

You should worry about their wingers attacking your full backs, if Lucic is fit you guys are in trouble.Losing Linderoth isn't exactly a bad thing because he hasn't really done anything for you guys and Kallstrom(most likely to replace him) is your main goal threat besides the "big 3" of Ljungberg,Larsson and Zlatan, your team has more Goals in them anyway so i can't see you losing.

Tatanka & Smokin Gunns vs. Bam Bam Bigelow & The Headshrinkers, Summerslam 93 Sting vs. DDP, Nitro April 99 Why all the surprise over those Bossman matches? he was a good worker until his Big Bubba Rogers gimmick in 95.

Germany will probably go through ahead of Holland as the Czech's will put the reserves out in their match. Watching Igor Stepanovs for Latvia yesterday made me realise that he'd probably have done well in a League like the Bundesliga or Serie A if you put someone with pace alongside him, saying that I can see Bolton signing him on a 1 year contract in July.
