England played Northern Ireland in a soccer match, WTF

What's the population of Northern Ireland, 200,000? Gimme a break, play a real team you limey bastards.
*dons asbstos suit*

I thought they only existed in jokes! :D

Oliver Kahn's going to shut Chelsea's scorers down.

But he's still pretty good at goalkeeping.

I'm quite surprised that hes only 35.... I guess his volks wagon looks bely his relative youth.

He was born at 1969, so that makes him.. OK he is only 36 after all. I too thought he was older than that. Strange...

Well, maybe with the exception of Maradonna.

Kahn is at best mediocre among the Bundesliga keepers - how he got to his current fame is beyond me. It is not even like he's ever been good.

Man was he a porker.

and it shocked me to see one here :)

dupe

how did you became Bayern fan?

is my guess. :)

no sane person would be a Bayern fan at choice :)

I'm a third generation German-American and I lived next door to my German great grandfather, but he never talked about sports around me. A couple of years after he died my Uncle went over to Deutschland because he was offered the chance by his former employer Lucent tech. After he was over there he sent me and my brother Bayern t-shirts and he told us that they're the Ohio State of his section of Germany. So I bought a FIFA 2004 PC game and I was completly sold on them. I looked up where they're at in Germany and that's close to where my great grandfather lived(Tiernegan). So I'm completly sold on them now, but I'm also following other teams as well like FC Koln. Considering they've been regelated I think that balances out I guess.

;)

nice story, and I might forgive you. I have to think about it :)

The whole thing was started in the UK, hence they got to write the rules. And the rules say: the UK is allowed to send in four national teams and cannot be overruled in any decisions regarding rules, tournaments, ... . (well, the last part is a little exaggerated, but still... ;-) )

But how can Northen Ireland and Wales expect to beat those three I'll never understand. BTW I always thought they were written in France because the cup is named after a Frechman.

A frenchman came up with the idea for a world cup.... but the rules were already in place by then.

UEFA loves to take shots at English football at every given oppurtunity

;-)

Just more misery for them! :)

Puerto Rico plays the U.S. in basketball regularly.

Even Liechtenstein does have a National Team. :-)

Americans don't get pumped up after beating Puerto Rico and brag about it like I saw earlier today in my "USA vs Mexico" post.

Enjoy getting the beat down by Chelsea. Oliver Kahn sucks. Drogba will own you. AHHAHAHHA.

Oh, and enjoy getting killed in 06.

Good day./

Or at least pass me the bottle.

Would you celebrate that ass beating.

And the fact that we are in first place in qualifying.

Hows that coming with you guys?



Nice grammar, btw.

I think we can handle Guadamala and we have a rematch in Columbus, Ohio during the winter(It's very cold in Columbus in the winter) so I think we're in the clearing.

to the only other 'real team' in CONCACAF.

:shrug:

better a game against them than the uncompetitive Wales, or even worse, Scotland

But I'd have to do it while sitting next to Mike Myers:D

and England didn't choose to play Northern Ireland. They were drawn with Northern Ireland in their World Cup qualifying group by FIFA.
