Yeah it is that time which we love to hate as it seems like half the team gets injuried. BUT there are those who enjoy this time of year. Personally only because it is crunch time for WCQing.

Re: International Week[R] i love international football. bring on el salvador!! argentina-brasil is also this weekend.. nice.
Re: International Week[R] I LOVE international break too! What better to derail the early stretch of the season than some jingoisitic nationalism! Go (insert country here)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: International Week[R] lets hope Eduardo scores a hat trick at Wembley in a Croatia win (nothing against England, but more about the English media) would be hilarious if he dived and got 3 penalties too
Re: International Week[R] I hope he scores a legitimate hat trick, while shrek and the other scouser dive their way through out the match.
Re: International Week[R] no it wouldn't his rep would get tarnished even more and england should beat croatia
Re: International Week[R] I'm looking forward to Denmark/Portugal. I'm pretty sure that anything less than a win for Portugal keeps them out. I'm expecting a car crash.
Re: International Week[R] Anybody remeber this? [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJSKkFGdPDg"]YouTube - theo walcott hattrick england vs croatia[/ame]
Re: International Week[R] Personally, I hate internationals week. Is this much qualification really necessary, or is FIFA just making sure they are getting a slice of the pie, as well? I'd rather have half the international weeks, and stop giving teams like Andorra and Columbia 20 games before they are knocked out of the world cup once and for all.
Re: International Week[R] Anyone see the Rmsey goal yet??? http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/3352224/
Re: International Week[R] That was pure Samba, something Ronaldhino would do in his prime. I guess we have a Welsh one.
Re: International Week[R] Yup and interesting tidbit I picked up from L'equipe: This is the first time since 1926 that the starting 11 of the Netherlands all came from different clubs. Edit. Outrageous stuff from Ramsey. That backheel flip to start it off?! the bounce of the thigh into the volley?! Keeper frozen in place?! Class
Re: International Week[R] Rooney with yet another dive today in today's match. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtwWLaTmiic"]YouTube - Wayne Rooney's Dive + Frank Lampard's Goal 1-0 England Vs Slovenia 05.09.09 HQ[/ame]
Re: International Week[R] Not sure that was a dive... but it was surely a dreadful call. I think Rooney was as surprised as anyone .
Re: International Week[R] Bendtner just scored a great goal to give Denmark the lead against Portugal.
