Should be but probably wont be.  Frustrating night I reckon with a 3-0 win.

The only other comparison I can think of is Lesotho in Africa, that is completely surrounded and in the middle of South Africa. The thing is I think San Marino is a principality rather than an actual country, could be wrong though.

Well the Vatican and Andorra are both land locked principalities as well. I was going to mention Liechtenstein too. Playing Sporcle Geography games does have some uses!  8)

The one who's already entered in the under 21 squad where he's destined to start and get good game time rather than sat on the bench twidling his thumbs? The one where it's better for both him and us if he stays where he is?

That one?
  Pardon me for voicing an opinion,you are obviously all knowing and how dare my opinion not be the same as yours !

I didnt know he had already been picked for the under 21's and as for him sat on the bench, the thread was about who would replace missing centre halves for England and against the likes of San Marino, Dawson could do a job at short notice.

I could say the same to you taking offense to me voicing mine, never said your's was wrong, only that it was logical for both if he pulled a Butland and stayed at the level below.

Dawson is eligable and a part of the under 21's till after the next tournament and would have to have spectacularly bad form to be dropped after his perfomances for them, he's a near constant and he's probably the best the u-21's have but at the same time there are fully fledged defenders that play for their teams who can play for England. Losing one defender is not enough to pull a defender from the youth team when there are plenty of defenders with previous caps. Too much of a risk unless he's really good and heading his place in a top team (which is exactly why players from top teams get picked)

Damn! Was weighing up between 7 or 8 nil on my bet, obviously went for 7  >:(

Much tougher game tuesday, unusually feeling a bit confident. I'll go for 3-1 England.

He showed poor judgment to stay on as an Al Jazeera commentator for his own country's match. On the other hand, the man's entitled to look out for himself and develop his media profile. I don't really have a problem with the commentating per se, but in the context of missing a chance to play for his country, it leaves a bad taste.

i think he and Ferguson have shot themselves in the foot! as for this nonsense of 'managing' his injury, England were playing San Marino for heaven sake. im 53 with a dodgy knee and  i could have played and did a job.

At least I came up with an option about Dawson ( also see the thread about him on the main board ), all you did was have a pop at what I had posted. I can recognise sarchasm when I read it. You offered nothing other than an attempt to belittle what I had posted.

Anyway, it wasnt to be for the lad this time but in the future who knows.

They didnt look to be under pressure to me mate, I expected a cricket score and it almost turned out that way ha ha ha

Montenegro might pose a little more of a threat.....but I would expect us to beat them as well.
