The Mourinho IQ test to me right now is whether he avoids going to Inter or not. I will lose all my respect for the man if he follows some of the rumors going around.

I don't think that it will happen right now. It needs many years to be performed because the big clubs will oppose as they have big contracts will the foreign players. But there is no doubt that it is a good measure for getting out homegrown players to the clubs.
By the way Big Congrats to Croatians
its sad that a so called powerhouse footballing nation like england cant even produce good enough BRITISH managers let alone english managers to take the role, and having to rely on foreign influences yet again! when i see nations like northern ireland and scotland who over the past year or 2 have really drilled in the growth of home talent has payed off, i mean scotland finished in a much tougher group with more points than england, and northern ireland, this time last year couldnt even score a goal let alone win matches and beat big teams like spain,sweden, and even england. so let the english rave about how good their overrated epl is, cause at the end of the day the italians have always dominated european football at club level, and 4 times campioni del f*cking mondo whilst the english still living in the past of 19 66 as if the messiah himself is going to return. Im glad england are out, no longer will i have to sit through the other match coverages listening to what david beckham had for breakfast or which toilet roll paul robinson uses before he sh*ts himself instead of the game in hand
If im not wrong, foreigners % in EPL was about 50 and in Italian Serie A it was <20%.
Esteban - yesterdays game Latvia:Sweden was pretty entertaining, though we should have managed to keep at least 1:1. Our back4 was totally changed (only one def played in his position), in midfield two of our guys got little injuries. Our keeper Nr1 Kolinko maybe played his last match for NT. Kallstrom always scores against us, its so annoying. After some hard time at Spartak Moscow our all time best coach Starkovs is back, so hopefully Latvia will make a miracle like EURO 2004 again.
Im happy about England who failed to reach EURO and im sad, because fuckin Russia get through. Russian footballers better should play table tennis or chess - on natural pitch they are playing so boring, that even Capello would fell in sleep watching them.

i heard it was more 60-70% foreigners in england and below 20 in italy, but this was last years figures before the last summer transfer window. but u look at how many foreign managers coach in serie A? - none and in england? only 1 british manager manages the top 4 prem teams, where by the rest have none or very limited european experience at best. its a very sad fact.
i guess the difference is if we call wales, ireland and scotland foreigners or not. actually its fucking nice fact - these bloody fatties will reach even lower level after some years. dont see anything sad in it - maybe they will look around and stop calling themselves great. this qualification showed that not SGE was wrong - FA were wrong.
SCOTLAND DIES LAUGHING
TRIBUTES are being paid to Scotland this morning after the entire country laughed itself to death.
The alarm was first raised at around 10pm last night as thousands of phone calls and text messages went unanswered.
Small groups of volunteers from Berwick-Upon-Tweed and Carlisle ventured north just after midnight only to find houses full of dead people gathered around still blaring television sets.
By dawn, as RAF helicopters flew over deserted city streets, it was clear that the whole country had suffered a catastrophic abdominal rupture.
Wayne Hayes, a special constable from Northumberland, said: "We went into one house in Dunbar and found three men sitting on the sofa with huge smiles on their faces, still holding cans of 70 shilling. They seemed to be at peace."
He added: "In a house near Edinburgh we found a man face down on the living room floor with his trousers and pants round his knees.
"It seems he may have been showing his bare buttocks to the television when he keeled over."
Roy Hobbs, a civil engineer from Northampton , said: "I got a call from my friend Ian in Stirling at about 9.50pm.
"He was already laughing when I answered the phone, but after about 25 minutes of the most vigorous and uncontrollable hilarity, everything suddenly went very quiet."
Moving tributes are already being placed along the Scotland-England border with many mourners opting to leave a simple bag of chips or a deep fried bunch of flowers.
