france are bloody diving cheats, never a penalty. What are you on about it's blatently obvious that the Italy player touches the french players leg, which then causes him to clip his other leg, I think you'll find if you're leg's are clipped together whilst sprinting you'll go flying.by matthewp - Other Sports
Yeah that actually sounds like a very decent effort and he's quite a good singer.by matthewp - F1
He probably would if it was a race of Button one on one against a single driver as it is in football.by matthewp - Other Sports
We have BBC wales etc but theres only a small difference with certain programs changing and getting Welsh news as well as the normal BBC news, but other than that we get exactly the same coverage as you.by matthewp - Other Sports
I've always felt it to be an inbred dislike passed down from the partents tbh, never understood it quite honestly. If Wales, Ireland, Scotland are playing internationals i always root for them because of the home shores connection. I'd rather concetrate on my team than be negative about others. The big difference being you don't have to live with the forementioned media biby matthewp - Other Sports
The other nations (Wales, Scotland and Norhtern Island will NEVER EVER EVER EVER be competitive so why not support the best team in the UK? AKA England. You've pretty much explained why yourself with the arrogance of that statement. The media also play a big part in it, you won the world cup 40 years ago but they still go on about it like it was last year, they'll dedicate about halby matthewp - Other Sports
England looked a bit more dangerous first half but their defending of set pieces was shambolic and if anything they were lucky to get a draw in the end. Even though being Welsh I want England to go out at the first possible opportunity ( ) Still feel sorry for Owen if that injury is as bad as it looked, also makes Sven's squad selection look as stupid as I and many others were saying at thby matthewp - Other Sports
Good effort by Tunisia and Spain were poor first half, but Fabregas was different class when he was brought on, won the game for them.by matthewp - Other Sports
The ps3's about the same size as the original xbox according to some size charts i've seen, which is kind of funny as it's size was always something the sony fanboys pointed to (doesnt really bother me though) It hurt the xbox in Japan as well so that could be bad for Sony, I think the Wii could well win in Japan, the 360 in the US and probably the ps3 in Europe.by matthewp - Other Games
not Korea's fault that France cant finish Admittedly they should have pushed harder for the 2nd goal, but they completely dominated the game and it would have been as one sided a 1-0 as you're likely to see until South Korea's extremely fortunate goal. Plus Vieira scored with that header that was over the line but not given which would have put the result beyond doubt.by matthewp - Other Sports
Wales ranked 74; watch out Kuwaitby matthewp - Other Sports
France just got completely robbed.by matthewp - Other Sports
Brazil not very impressive again, they were pretty lucky on a few occasions, Aussies put in a great effort & Kewell should have scored. It's blatently obvious Ronaldo is in the side on reputation alone, in both matches Robinho has done more within 5 mins of coming on than Ronaldo did in the whole game, with Robinho they started to look pretty good at the end.by matthewp - Other Sports
I wanna know why Gui's put Dutch and Holland in different places.by matthewp - Other Sports
Argentina were phenomenal its probably the best international performance i've ever witnessed. Brazil have got a long way to go from their first game to match that, the first step needs to be drop the lazy lard arse Ronaldo, if they do that then they can do it, should be interestingby matthewp - Other Sports
I thought Germany looked a lot better against Poland than England did today, they played much better attacking football with some actual variety instead of England's one dimensional Wimbledon style long balls or deep crossing approach for most of the game, they cant defend though so they wont get far.by matthewp - Other Sports
I'd drop Beckham and play Lennon too, Beckham's deliveries are pretty much the only time you threaten so I dont think thats a good idea. Lennon's great at beating the fullback but his crosses are poor more often than not and never in the class of Beckham's. England were pretty shocking really, they have lots of world class players but I dont think i've ever seen themby matthewp - Other Sports
Was actually a very good game which was somewhat surprising to me. Germany play really good football going forward, Lahm is a superb attacking fullback.by matthewp - Other Sports
Can't wait for the x360 version, out in november I think.by matthewp - Other Games
If the new controls get good reviews i'll probably buy the 360 version, will be great playing fm2006 wirelessly whilst lying on my bedby matthewp - Other Games
Just got the 360 dashboard update; So far used background downloading, boot to dash instead of disc option and music staying on when you go from a game to dash & vice versa, all great stuffby matthewp - Other Games
The marshalls are the same ones from GP3, someone released them as an addon for GPL. Great gallery even better than usual btw my moves can't have been that insane they both came off okby matthewp - Off-Topic
I think it's an absolutely rediculous idea, if they did that it would be Formula one in name only.by matthewp - F1
Surely he needs to be starting Walcott in this game, he's never even seen him play. I bet Defoe is so pissed off with Sven, personally I find the whole thing hilariousby matthewp - Off-Topic
I dont believe the physics are watered down on it, I havent tried it but thats what I heard. Thing is its such a difficult sim I wouldnt attempt it on anything other than a wheel.by matthewp - Other Games
Tonight, in a pop contest, Europe chose metal and hardrock over pop music. tbh I think its more to due with the fact that its totally hilarious having a band like that on eurovision than the music itself.by matthewp - Off-Topic
You made my move on Koop sound a lot better than it actually was, cheers (the fiver's in the post) Nice gallery as always.by matthewp - Off-Topic
The 360 is as well in theory, but some publishers (most) still prefer to region code their games.by matthewp - Other Games
Yeah some people think it'll be free for a while as they effectively beta-test it, as those who used live when it was being beta'd said it was awful compared to now and people probably wouldnt take too kindly to paying for it if Sony's system is of a similar quality to start with (and I see no reason why they'd do better than Microsoft did at the start, after all MS' expeby matthewp - Other Games
