United-Kingdom MINI's save the England Team

Did anyone see the Italian Job adverts on the electronic boards around the pitch at the England V Macedonia match. Cool or what.

Personally, I think the MINI's worked there magic and spurred England on to victory as lets face it that was a miracle!!

Yeah i saw them to and wondered how long until someone posted it on here! Well spotted, i can see the whole advert campaign for the Italian Job and the film itself having an effect on the used prices!

It's a popcorn, Hollywood caper movie--paper thin character development & plot, but loads of fun. Remember that & you'll enjoy it.

Think they needed all the luck they could get there!!
(s******)

An what was with all that time wasting in the end?
That was pretty poor...
From a team that beat Argentina they have to hide in the corner to stop Macedonia getting the ball....? hmmm...
(heh heh heh )

And nothing personal.... but if that had been any other team in the world doing that to England, the comentators would have been going mental about bookings for time wasting and lack of sportsmanship etc etc...

/waits for flaming

Oh yeah...
The boards looked V V V V cool!!!!

Yeah boards looked cool.

Watched the film again lastnight, I think the great thing is, like the first film it make you want to get in the car and have a drive!!

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?

I enjoyed the end bit when they were wasting time,
its not against the rules and it really rattled them - result is all important

I tell you what, those adverts were SOOO annoying though, I know you're not going to turn down the money if you're the Macedonian FA, but it was well OTT...

I thought it was great - although not long enough, we had a fun night of "quick, quick there on now"

"Oh you missed it!"

I thought it looked cool Just wish the camera had lingered on that for the last 5 minutes instead of the corner antics.

Hopefully they'll be there again on wednesday night
