Went up to Wembley last night for the England France Game. We got up to Wembley at about 3 in the afternoon so had quite a heavy session before hand, so I don't really remember much of the game.
It was a pretty poor performance overall, we were passed off the pitch. Possession is the key thing in International Football, and we had none of the ball. We seemed to just lump it up-field to Caroll pretty much every time. There was nothing from Barry, he was meant to get the ball down and play it straight to the wings, play it to Milner, play it to Walcott, let them run down the wings and hit the crosses into Caroll. Then you've got Gerrard running in to pick up the loose peices. There was none of that though, just hit and hope, and sitting back and letting France play.
The only good thing I can take from this Game is probably the fact that my Bet came in for the Scoreline, and I managed to flog my Spare Ticket outside the Ground 5 minutes before kick off, so turned out to be pretty much a free trip.

Went to the Northern Ireland game last night against Morocco.
It was suprisingly sold out, which is odd for a Morocco game. It was a sh*t night and Northern Ireland had about 3 first team players on so i'm happy to see a 1-1 draw against a side that had Chamack.
Did anyone see Morocco's goal? A complete nightmare, I highly recommend you watch it...
Just found it...

Qatar World Cup 2022 Stadium Plans: Lusail Iconic StadiumThe new Lusail Iconic Stadium, with a capacity of 86,250, will host the opening and final matches of the 2022 FIFA World Cup™ if Qatar is granted hosting rights. Located in Lusail City, the stadium takes its inspiration from the sail of a traditional dhow boat and is surrounded by water. After the FIFA World Cup™, the stadium will be used to host other spectacular sporting and cultural events.  Doha Port StadiumThe new Doha Port Stadium will be a completely modular stadium with 44,950 seats. The stadium, which will sit on an artificial peninsula in the Gulf, is designed to evoke its marine setting. Water from the Gulf will run over its outer facade, aiding in the cooling process and adding to its visual allure. Fans will have the option of arriving on a water taxi or ferry. After the FIFA World Cup™, the whole stadium will be disassembled and the seats sent to developing countries to further their football development.  Sports City StadiumDrawing inspiration from traditional Arab tents, Sports City Stadium will have 47,560 seats. A retractable roof, partly retractable pitch and retractable stands will make the stadium Qatar's premiere multi-use facility in the decades following the 2022 FIFA World Cup™. The stadiums innovative features will make it an ideal venue for football matches, but also concerts, theatre performances and non-football related athletic events.  Education City StadiumEducation City Stadium takes the form of a jagged diamond, glittering by day and glowing by night. The 45,350-seat stadium will be located in the midst of several university campuses at Education City, easily accessible for fans both in Qatar and in neighbouring Bahrain, which will be only 51 minutes away from the stadium by high-speed rail. Following the FIFA World Cup™, the stadium will retain 25,000 seats for use by university athletic teams.  Umm Slal StadiumUmm Slal Stadium, located in the vicinity of one of Qatar's most historically important forts, will have 45,120 seats. The design is a modern interpretation of traditional Arab forts, like the one in nearby Umm Slal Mohammed. After the FIFA World Cup™, seating capacity will be reduced to 25,500. The stadium will be used by Umm Slal F.C.  Qatar University StadiumReplacing an existing track and field stadium on Qatar University's campus, Qatar University Stadium will have 43,520 seats. The stadiums gold facade blends traditional Arabic geometric patterns with free-form open surfaces, conjuring both past and future. The stadium will be used by student athletes following the FIFA World Cup™, with a seating capacity of 23,500.  Al-Gharafa StadiumThe existing 21,175 capacity Al-Gharafa stadium will be expanded to 44,740 seats using modular elements forming an upper tier. The facade will be made up of ribbons representing the nations that qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and will symbolize football and the mutual friendship, tolerance and respect that the tournament represents. The stadium will be downscaled to its existing capacity after the tournament ends.  Al-Khor StadiumAl-Khor is a brand new 45,330-capacity stadium with a stunning seashell motif and a flexible roof. The permanent lower tier seats 25,500 and the modular upper tier seats 19,830. The stadium offers spectators a stunning view of the Arabian Gulf from their seats and will be located in a sports and recreation zone.  Al-Rayyan StadiumThe existing Al-Rayyan Stadium with a seating capacity of 21,282 will be expanded to 44,740 seats using modular elements to form an upper tier. The stadium is designed with a special "media membrane" facade that acts as a screen for projecting news, updates and current matches. The stadium will be downsized to its current capacity after the tournament.  Al-Wakrah StadiumAl-Wakrah is one of Qatar's oldest cities, with a long history of commercial fishing and pearl diving. Al-Wakrah stadium, with a capacity of 45,120, takes its cues from the sea that has played such an important role in the city's history. After the FIFA World Cup™, the stadium's capacity will be reduced to 25,500 seats.  Al-Shamal StadiumAl-Shamal stadium will have a capacity of 45,120, with a permanent lower tier of 25,500 seats and a modular upper tier of 19,620 seats. The stadiums shape is derived from the "dhow" fishing boat used in the Gulf. Spectators are expected to arrive from the Doha Expressway, water taxis, the Bahrain-Qatar Friendship Bridge and the new metrorail.  Khalifa International StadiumRedesigned for Qatar's successful hosting of the 2006 Asian Games, Khalifa International Stadium's current capacity of 50,000 will be expanded to 68,030 for the 2022 FIFA World Cup™. The stadium, which includes sweeping arcs and partially covered stands, is the centerpiece of Aspire Zone, a sports complex that includes the Aspire Academy for Sports Excellence, ASPETAR Sports Medicine Hospital and many other sporting venues.  *drool* Oh yes! |

I never heard of them up until now. Theres bout to be some trouble though. I know its far way but I have doubts whether all those stadiums will be built or at least to the proper standard. |

So Gary Speed has been appointed Wales national coach. I'd like to say it will make a difference and help the Wales team do well but I can't see it happening.

Capello has named the squad for the Friendly against Denmark:
Foster, Hart, Stockdale; Baines, Cahill, A Cole, Dawson, Johnson, Lescott, Terry, Walker; Barry, Downing, Gerrard, Lampard, Milner, Parker, Walcott, Wilshere, Young; Agbonlahor, Bent, Crouch, Defoe, Rooney.
Who's Cahill? So what does everyone think the team will be?
