Stepping up to the plate.
For me.... (as in 'Messi is the best goalscoring playmaker in the world for me')
An Englishman abroad and his side becomes something like 'David Beckham's LA Galaxy' or 'Gary Lineker's Barcelona side'

They've moved up a gear.
End to end stuff.
Setting out their stall.
The free kick is in Beckham territory.
Funny old game.
For a big lad he's good with his feet.
For a small lad he's good in the air.
There are no easy games in international football.
This game needs a goal.
A game of two halves.

He doesn't like coming for crosses.
Atmospheric old stadium.
Old fashioned target man.
Getting in the faces of the opposition.
Typical strikers tackle.
Typical Paul Scholes tackle.

If you dont score goals, you cant win football matches - duh really?
We just havent had any luck recently - said by manager of a botton of the table side who are basically shit
We've got to start turning these draws into wins - yes, great idea because you get 3 points instead of 1
