My understanding of the rules is, if you haven't been capped at senior level for your Country you can essentially become a dual citizen and play for another if you've lived in that Country for a certain period of time. I think its five years but I could be wrong! Rumours are, Hodgson is fielding a more attacking 4-4-2 side with Carroll partnering Welbeck up front and Oxlade-Chamberlain dropping to the bench.

I'm pretty sure Ronaldo had already played for Portugal's senior team when he signed for Utd so it wouldn't have been possible, but I understand your point. It's the same in most sports too, England's Cricket and Rugby teams spring to mind. Vinnie Jones playing football for Wales was always funny to me!

I would have said Russia since they're in such good form but I didn't think it would be so convincingly! What a great opening to the tournament.

I agree with everything you said. I wouldn't be surprised if Sweden progressed ahead of them.

I think England will finish runners up in Group D and lose to Spain in the Quarter Final.

Prometheus came out last Friday over here so I've already seen it. Thought it was an excellent sci-fi flick but can see why some of the Alien fanboys are criticizing it even though Ridley Scott was clear that very little is connected between the two films! Go see it in 3D if you can because visually it's spectacular.

The FA have just hit Barton with a 12 game ban and a £75K fine for his violent conduct against Manchester City.

I'm a Utd fan too but got to admit that City deserved the title without a doubt. Utd threw it away when they allowed Everton to grab a draw from 4-2 up. That and the 1-0 loss at the Etihad was the nail in the coffin. But I must admit, I was close to celebrating before Dzeko's goal went in, I also can't help but feel that the QPR players had picked up that the Bolton game was final and they were safe. but that's probably doing a disservice to City.

The British SAS say hi!

Got dragged to the cinema to watch The Sitter tonight. That's 90 minutes of my life I won't get back! Awful movie.

I didn't even know it was based on true events. That's how little I know! Ha.

Watched Moneyball last night. I don't know a thing about Baseball but I thought it was a pretty good movie!

"Get to the chopper!!"

I think I'm gonna give the second one a watch this weekend if I get time. I'll let you know how it is!

I watched the original last night. Excellent movie! Have you seen the two follow ups? Just want to know if they're as good as the first or is there a significant drop-off like a lot of sequels?

The real star of that movie was the clothing. The costume designer killed it with Gosling's wardrobe!

Anyone agree that Jim Carrey's best performance is in one of the very few serious roles he's done? I'm talking about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Great film!

I don't know how much publicity it had in the States when it was released but I believe it had a pretty limited release here in the UK with not much promotion, even though it's based on one of our most high profile prisoners. I agree on it being a good movie!

Yeah I'm also looking forward to it, but I'm concerned that it won't live up to expectations since AMC cut the budget by 25% even though they're making twice as many episodes! They've even replaced the head guy and whole writing team from Season 1 because they disagreed with the budget cut. But I must admit, the trailer for the Season 2 looks fantastic!

I don't know if you've already seen it or not but there's a French film called 'Inside' that's supposed to be a pretty sick horror film. I haven't seen it personally but I've heard its as disturbing as the films you mentioned!

It's a prequel about the Norwegian team that came across the 'Thing' first.

Agreed. Also watch Snatch and Rock N Rolla if you haven't seen them! I prefer both to Lock Stock.

$89k and it's yours !

Have you guys seen this? Some guy turned his 2002 Mercury Cougar Coupe into a replica of the Bugatti Veyron. Engine is untouched though, it's still a standard 2.5L V6!

I really enjoyed Thor. I can't say I'm a comic geek who could critique the authenticity but it was fun to watch!
