They weren't selling some tickets for some areas, i think they were sold out for the areas that were available.

Did anyone catch the attendance for the Greece game in the end? I've got a feeling that it was more down to the FA website than anything else that it was a low turn out. I tried on 4 seperate occasions to try and get some tickets but every time the website kept saying "none available in that area", or "can't forfill your request for this game". So I assumed until i heard in the paper on the day of the game that it had sold out. Managed to get myself some for the first Euro Qualifier tho! 45,000.

I'm surprised that no-one has commented on the Mis-match against Andorra yesterday. Andorra were so bad that they make pub teams look good. 5 goals and barely got into 2nd gear.
Will be a different proposition in Skopje (Macedonia) Weds. I'd be happy with a 1- 0 win there.

Yeha it was a a mis match but entertaining to watch still. I was only about 10 seats away from the box where BBC do their analysis from so could see Shearer and Wrighty(getting his head polished at half time too).
Will be tougher on web but I'll not be happy with anything less than a win still.

Andorra have only ever won one competetive match.
It was against Macedonia.

He's making a point Shin and Becks is being punished for.....what? not putting enough effort in, his got no pace he can't tackle, and his not very influental he was only England Captin for his image and not his leadership skills, his getting on a bit and only got what 2yrs left in him

A bit harsh on the effort bit methinks.
Certainly agree that he has lost a yard of pace in the last couple of years and that he probably has 1 major international tournament left. He certainly will not be in an England Jersey for the next World Cup.

Nobody is stating that Beckham is the best right winger in the world, i'll say that for starters. However, the effort he puts in is second to none and i defy anyone to tell me otherwise. Sure, he may not have any pace and can't tackle too well but tell me why he needs to? You have to tackle to win the ball back, but Beckham rarely loses the ball. You need pace to beat the full back to get a cross in. Beckham has the best cross in the world, he doesn't need to beat the full back. I really hate it when people use those two points. I could pick two attributes that every player on the side lacks but it would be completely irrelevant because they are fantastic without them. He was England captain at the time because he was a widely respected player, exactly the type to have as your captain. I do agree that we were right to strip him of the captaincy now but i strongly disagree with dropping him. He has been made into a scapegoat and McLaren has simply used him to get the media off his back. Are you honestly trying to tell me that he isn't in the top two right wingers in the country?

Becks resgined the captaincy. He was a quality skipper.
Beckham contributed to more goals in the World Cup than ANY OTHER England player. Fact.
(The Plank contributed in none.)

To say Beckham doesn't put any effort in is a joke. I'd rather him in the team than Lampard.

As Sunbeam pointed out, he contributed by scoring or assisting on more of England's recent competitive goals than any other player. What more can the guy do? While McLaren may not want him as first-choice right midfielder, he remains good enough to be in the squad.

While McLaren may not want him as first-choice right midfielder, he remains good enough to be in the squad. I think he was only captin, because of his image, he mayof assisted more goals than anyother player in World Cup but then again the strikers didn't score as two of them were unfit, and one was on a hoilday their and Peter Crouch, I think that Becks hasn't got the hunger anymore, besides whats more dangerous Beckham on the right wing or having Aron Lennon or Shaun Wright Phillips down the right wing?

Becks got the captaincy becauser he was the best player we had. If the strikers had been fit he probably would have had more assists. He patently still has the hunger. Last time I checked Lennon and SWP were sitting on the bench even with Becks out of the squad.

His crossing is phenomenal (and that aint just from dead balls is it?) and his passing it just as good. He sets a great example to the rest of the side with his effort too, claiming he doesn't put enough in just shows that you don't know what you're talking about fella.

CAPTAIN!
When Beckham was made captain he was running the show, do you remember the Greece game in 2002? He was the sole reason we made it to that world cup.
We'd have thrashed that Greece side with or without Beckham, stp being silly.

Newham, there is absolutely no need to talk to people like that. Just because someone doesn't share your view it doesn't give you the right to call him sily or say he doesn't know what he is talking about.
Everyone is entitled to have an opinion and it doesn't have to be the same as yours. Now play nice or not at all.
