The blonde guy is Boris Johnson, Britains comedy MP.

edit: what in gods name he's doing on a football pitch I can only imagine.

Bwahaha. In your face Tottenham. U r gay.

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Ken Bray, a theoretical physicist with a doctorate in quantum science, has some advice for any player taking a penalty: Aim for the top corner.

It may sound obvious, but Bray's advice is backed by scientific research that he says can help players in everything from taking free kicks to saving penalties.

"Science is important in terms of winning matches," said Bray, author of a book on the science behind soccer called "How to Score."

Bray has analyzed memorable games over the past 50 years and applied research in physics, biology, computing and psychology to the beautiful game.

Using biomechanics to calculate the absolute reach of a goalkeeper diving to try to save a penalty, Bray has identified an area near the posts and in the top corners where the goalkeeper cannot reach as the "unsaveable zone."

"If a player were to place the ball in those regions, which are 28-30 percent of the goal area, there is not a sniff that the goalkeeper can do to get across to them," explained Bray, from the University of Bath in England.

He advised goalkeepers to move before the kick is taken because if they wait, the ball will be halfway to the goal before they can react.

He said that where the striker places and points his standing foot is a good clue to where the ball will go.

"It's been shown that in about 85 percent of cases the direction in which that foot points is the direction of the shot," he told a news conference in London.

Looking at Sven's England Squad.

If Rooney and Owen don't recover, we're looking at a front line of Peter Crouch and Theo Walcott. And no other options. Not even Wright-Phillips....

omfg this sucks

what? your squad is out already?

Scolari reveal's his on the 15th..

I still think England has an awesome defence and midfield, maybe you guys will get somewhere if you can find a way to score.

exactly. like i said before, Portugal had a mediocre attack, but a great midfield (deco, figo, ronaldo, rui costa...), and it was enough to solve most problems.

of course it won't make England favourites, but it'll be quite useful for them, i'm sure of that.

what's wrong with Wright-Phillips? and in championship manager (lol) i remember there was this guy called Kevin Phillips, from Sunderland i think, who was a fucking machine. i suppose he's not the same in real life :X

maybe Scolari sent Ferreira on a mission to injure as many english players as he could

I can see the logic behind walcott. Hes said to be a lot faster then Henry (believe it or not!) and from what i've seen of his Southampton days he's a good finisher. The logic is with a midfild of lampard, beckham and gerard we have probably the most accurate passers in the world that can seek out walcotts runs and use his pace to get in behind defences. Couple that with Crouch's ability to hold the ball up i can see why he has been chosen. But i don't understand not having Wright Phillips, he would make and excellent sub. The type of guy who can change games.
