Would you really want us to go on and gloriously win the world cup only for the rest of the world to call us cheaters and say we didnt deserve it. I would like to win the thing properly, we dont need to cheat

I agree with you mate,cheating is wrong.We [England]have been on the wrong end of it and it didnt feel nice.Were is the line drawn now beetween Profesionalism,and cheating.If you listen to football pundits it seems to be condoned,and accepted as part of the game.You are right It was dissapointing to see Gerrard take a dive.Can you honestly say
if the same situation arises during the tournament,you wont be out of your seat screaming penalty.I know its wrong but I for one know Iwill be.

The Argentinians are notorious foulers so I'd little sympathy when Owen did a flyer. If a defender is kicking a forward all over the place, can you really blame the forward for diving/handball etc?

Fuck all difference it made to those classless shithouses from 'The Bridge' anyway, we did them at Anfield in a game where the atmosphere will take a LOT to be beaten.
But they don't care, a place in the Champions League final was at stake that night. This time it might be the World Cup final. These players will do what it takes, make no mistake.
