I couldn't see anything at first but I assume this is about Crouch pulling the T&T guy's hair? It was only very slight and didn't look malicious, particularly not when you consider this is Crouch, one of the most friendly guys on the team. Most importantly it didn't have any bearing on the goal itself and was nothing in comparison to the typical mal-handling that occurs during ever corner. This is just an excuse to bash England and is completely unwarranted. England gave a very good performance after the miserable first half and definitely deserved to win - it was much improved from their distinctly unimpressive performance against Paraguay.

The England haters in this thread are a bit disappointing to see but not exactly unexpected.

[Shetland]

england hater < singular.

even if crouch did do it maliciously tech had no reason to insult all brits.

[Hexter66]

I did not say anything what was in the video, I was on about the comments towards the video.

[L3thal Veteran]

May I ask you what was racist about his post?

Also, before you act like a tough guy and say you reported someone, please read this thread.

[PaulCabby]

Another thing. Why don't we pull up videos of the typical manhandling that goes in at corners shall we?

May I ask what that has to do with this play? :huh:

ahhh...must have been edited before I read it.

I am not allowed to call you stupid as this is seen as a violation of neowins rules, I wish I could as what you wrote has zero to do with racism.

Go look in the dictionary what it means.

Its just that the original poster is making what Peter Crouch did is such a big deal. If this is a big deal, then players manhandling players whilst taking a corner is a big deal as well. A eye for a eye ;) Bad logic i know but a bit tired atm :whistle:

dude, I wasn't on about the content of the video. :p

for now I'm backing away from the thread. I have read the rules.

Good old Peter Crouch. In the nine caps he has recieved he has scored six goals, and dont forget that he has only started about five of those games. He has scored more goals for England, in his past few appearences than Michael Owen has scored in...a year or so.

Crouch deserves to start up front with Rooney, rather than Owen starting up front with Rooney. I dont think Sven can justify dropping Crouch, but no doubt he will stick with his favourite Michael Owen.

[Gavin001]

I seen this is the news the FIFA or the FA is lookin in to the situation or something :s
