Just busted a nut at the fact I put $125 back in my pocket for something else!

 

[Klobb]

Will the world famous left footed kicker Ashley Cole be playing?! They have Alan Hopkins now, and as bad as he is, he better replace O'Brien.

If Turkey qualifies, I bet John Madden calls their matches.

UEFA only offer it to Setanta Sports and ESPN, and ESPN won because they have capacity for HD broadcast, plus they bid way higher.

If Turkey qualifies, I bet John Madden calls their matches.
