Practice makes perfect
The World Cup squads are assembling prior to the World Cup, which starts in less than three weeks time. It's a chance for the coaches to get the group of players actually playing as a team... So, if you were one of the 32 team managers, what would you get your charges practising between now and June 9th? Penalty kicks ;)? Post your suggestions below.

Quite simply, you have to work on scenarios on a counter-attack(with your team in possesion) everything else will be act/react once they take the field. Certain (mini-plays) so to speak, that you can call upon if you are trailing in a match and at pivital times when you have told your team to attack for a shot period of time. Other than that a lot of fitness training and team unity drills.

tell your goalkeeper to stay on your line during direct free kicks. especially when a certain brazilian best player on earth barcelona player takes them.
i have no doubts in Paul Robinson for england. David James is shite and that Green for Norwich is crap. bring Scott Carson for 3rd choice keeper. lol

Well if i was Brazil coach I would have my players doing extra training so they don't meet the mighty Azzuri if they finished 2nd
if I was Sven i would be mentally preparing my team for a Group-Stage exit because the Sveeeedish are going to send you packing back to Landan !!!!
