Poland will get crushed by Switzerland!!!
You seen what Johann Vogel has done for PSV? Sforza needs to leave the circus at Bayern but Yakin and Zubi are doing great.
What nationality is the leading scorer of the European WC Qualification? SWITZERLAND!!!!
Who will crush the Polish? SWITZERLAND!!!!

Two can play at this;
Who is the team that always underachieves? ENGLAND!!
Who is the team who's domestic league's top managers are foreigners? ENGLAND!!
Which national team will probably be captained by a media darling player who hardly talks to his teammates during matches and isn't the captain of his club team? ENGLAND!!
Which national team that isn't Sweden is managed by a Swede? ENGLAND!!
Which team will be watching WC 2002 at home on their televisions? ENGLAND!!
Gosh, I am so enthusasitic! Good luck to u Sven, but I fear Keegan and that super moron Wilkinson have already screwed up our chances of making the next world cup.
Hmmm, I get my Canadian citizenship on Tuesday, but Canada are already out of qualifying....need to get me a French passport....

i agree neutral...this wilkinson is dump and needs to be thrown away!!
eriksson won't be given his full chance because f he loses a game he'll be under pressure, the fans dont trust him nor the players because they're all un dependable...look at phil neville for example or seaman...they're just plain crap and when u pick them everytime that'll turn u URSELFE into a piece of crap just like ur team is!!

Hmmm, not to rub salt in the wound..... but 4-0?? THAT is a beating!!!
POLSKA GOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the only thing I regret is that Zuberbuhler didn't play - so we could prove that he is crap compared to Matysek.

Oh ****!!! Our retarded manager played a C-Team because he wanted to rest our good players?
Pascal Zuberbuhler, Murat Yakin, Alex Rey, Ciriaco Sforza, Kubilay Turkylmaz, David Sesa, Johann Vogel, and more: ALL STARTERS, NONE OF THEM PLAYED!!!! I haven't heard of some of these players who are mostly young guys from Grasshoppers. A disgrace but then again it's only a friendly.

USA 2- Mexico 0, great start for US, and Josh Wolf what a player huh?
BTW the knock McBride got on his eye I never seen an uglier one and I watch a lot of boxing too...
Legia- from what I read Berti Vogts was gonna be at that game to watch Matysek vs Zuberbuhler show-down and make the final decusion whether Matysek was gonna get the starting job back, but the crap Swiss coach didnt play him for some reason(probably because he really sucks, sorry to break this to you Simonius but this guy got the lowest marks of the year from Kicker last week, so if he's your no 1 keeper your team might be in deep trouble.)

LOL - It's ironic. I had to go to something which ended at 6.20. Funny, went to my friends house to play some music (drums), he said he had ESPN 2 so I could watch the game. Well, of course he didn't have it. I was about to walk out the door, but I decided to stay.
When I got home I saw the last part saying the final score and that was it. HEhe. But a very good start for the guys, they need any help they can get.

Well you heard it from me first, here's the confirmation. The messed up part is the Swiss coach could have let Zuberbuelher try and save his job on Wed with a good performance vs Poland, but he doesnt even let the guy play!
UPDATE 1-Zuberbuehler dropped from Leverkusen squad
BERLIN, March 1 (Reuters) - Swiss international goalkeeper Pascal Zuberbuehler said on Thursday he had been dropped from the Bayer Leverkusen squad after a string of poor performances.
``The coach and I share the same opinion,'' Zuberbuehler told German sports television channel DSF. ``Leverkusen will not rely on me anymore from now on.''
Zuberbuehler joined Leverkusen from Swiss club Basle at the start of the season. He had been criticised by coach Berti Vogts after an embarrassing 3-1 defeat by lowly Energie Cottbus last weekend following a 2-1 loss against Hansa Rostock a week earlier.
On Wednesday, Vogts was quoted as threatening to axe seven players disappointing him -- including Brazil's Robson Ponte and Brazilian-born Paulo Rink.
``There is no black list,'' Leverkusen financial manager Wolfgang Holzhaeuser insisted on Thursday. ``That we are considering parting company with players at the end of season is normal and it is also normal for us to be dissatisfied with some. But it is not true that we have already decided to let players go.''
Leverkusen are fourth in the Bundesliga, three points behind leaders Bayern Munich.

Zuberbuhler never played well at Leverkusen. I hope that he comes back to Basel because he was amazing at Basel! For some reason, Swiss sometimes have a tough time in the Bundesliga. Sforza was doing great at Kaiserslautern but his teammates are Bayern are giving him a tough time.
Hopefully Zubi can get back into his old form!

No offence to Zuberbuhler, but I am glad... Matysek is a very solid, under-rated keeper. Didn't Leverkusen almost win the championship last year, by like 1 or 2 points???
Anyways, Matysek has been playing very well there for a few years.. Unfortunately Hans-Joerg Butt is coming soon, so it's decision time. I think Matysek will try to find another Bundesliga team because he doesn't deserve to sit on the bench and I know he has enough quality to be a starting keeper in the Bundesliga - probably for another team, though.....

from Soccerage........
03/01/2001. Bayer Leverkusen’s ‘no nonsense’ boss, Berti Vogts, has sent an undeniable message to his under-performing squad, by making good on his promise to unceremoniously cut anyone from the team, who he feels is not taking Bayer’s title quest seriously enough.
Swiss international goalkeeper Pascal Zuberbuehler is the poor –although not completely undeserving- soul, that Vogts has chosen to make an example of, as the former Germany manager has told Zuberbuehler, in no uncertain terms, that he no longer figures in Leverkusen’s plans.
Zuberbuehler has been widely (and loudly) criticized for the lack of concentration he seemed to evidence in Leverkusen’s last two defeats against Hansa Rostock (1-2) and Energie Cottbus (1-3), prompting Vogts to completely drop Zuberbuehler from the Leverkusen squad list, as a direct result.
