WTF are England playing at ????

[jonathon5]

Have the England team been made to run a marathon before starting this game ?

They look slow & fucked !

Where is the effort ?

[shannon-ob]

:wall:im glad it aint me just thinking that, they are making the opposition look good:wall:

[andywiddss1]

no effort what a shower of shit ,if that is english passion for the game then god help us

[woodysVTR]

Absolutely terrible.

[L20VTS]

i dont normally watch such shite but didnt realise our team was that shit lol!

[VTSTomE]

Heskey off we need a strikeforce that looks threatening, coming from a Villa fan!

[Fallschirmjager]

They need a couple of speed pills apiece.

[woodysVTR]

Heskey off we need a strikeforce that looks threatening, coming from a Villa fan!

Heskey is alright, but there's no gusto or buzz around the pitch, no one looking for a smart pass or over-lapping runs. Havn't seen 5 passes strung together yet.

[saxovtsmad]

hesky is doing ok barry should fuck off back to the oxygen tent he is wank

[BBM]

Without Barry today, you might have conceded, he's been there to clear a few good crosses.

[jonathon5]

I am sat here in my gazza italia 90 shirt feeling fully embarrassed !

No emotion from the players, nothing to cheer about.

I have seen all the games today & there is fuck all way England can beat the slovinians.

They can't even get the ball of the fucking algerian who have never even won a fucking game !


The team of italia 90 would hammer these !

Come on England fire up !

Or are the just thinking about what to spend their match fee on ?

[Riiko7]

To me they look like they arnt bothered! Surely they can only improve, anychance of rooney doing something because Algeria are Horrid!

[blaire1988]

they are playing shite i even went for a crap half way through because i new i wouldnt miss much and im a football fan sorry for sharing that lol

[BBM]

To me they look like they arnt bothered! Surely they can only improve, anychance of rooney doing something because Algeria are Horrid!

That Horrid they outplayed England this half.

Algeria have been exciting to watch and have made the game interesting.

[JBVTR]

that bird was the most exciting thing thats happend so far hopefully things will pick up now :boxing:

[Mr_X]

whos that fitty in the crowd?

[jonathon5]

If our armed forces put in this little effort we would have been invaded years ago , I really hope the lads in afganistan are not watching this shit.

An embarrassment to the badge !

Comeon England let's do it !

[shaunsvtr]

come on england come on lol

[djflipsaxo]

Im watching this, not usually a fottie follower.
But I am wondering weather to turn it off, not the best tbh

[sparky771]

its depressing to watch tbh

I agree with what the commentators are saying the 4,4,2 is too predictable! we need rooney up on his own with a player like gerrard just behind him!

[sparky771]

Glen Johnson is WANK!

[VTR_G]

its all about aaron lennon haha. nah they are playing shit annd as for heskey all i can say is get defoe and crouch on and rooney behind them

[jonathon5]

Fuck it ! Should have recalled the wreckage that is gazza . Just offer him a bottle of vodka as a match bonus & watch the game turn.

Bet the cunt is crying in his hospital bed tonight,

WTF was that from heskey ?

[danzle16v]

get heskey off whats he doin

[nev6]

why the fuck is heskey even in the squad let alone starting games

[jonathon5]

Bring on cole & crouch.

[Peter_D]

Heskey is a useless b**** cunt!






baldy*

[Mr_X]

:bored:

pile o' shite.

[VTR_G]

hahah love the heskey bashing keep it up guys! :L

[danzle16v]

this game needs something exciting to happen like rooney destroy the ref or somik

[JOHNJELLY]

I hope Heskey scores

[kennysevenfold]

Because there are crap?
You lot always overestimate england.

[Peter_D]

Rooney isn't even trying either, he's a fucking embarassment

[danzle16v]

i think rooney needs let off his very tight leash

[sparky771]

There is just no organisation!!

Come on Fabio are your glasses steamed up cause you cant be watchin the same game as the rest of the world!!!!! :@

[Mr_X]

i do wish football would man up, it would be so much more exciting if they took away all the so called 'fouls'

[danzle16v]

a bit like green street 2

[jonathon5]

It ain't just down to heskey it's just disjointed. We need a fluke to score !

Come on , England !

[Giraffe]

I only logged on because I knew there would be a thread from Jonathon5. This time though mate, you won't be slated for your views, think everyone owes you an apology from the last one lol

[sparky771]

Because there are crap?
You lot always overestimate england.

We dont overestimate atall but we were playing 1000000x better than this in the qualifying stages So what the Fuck has happened!!

Dunno why im trying to justify england to a scot you lot cant take it that we are better at everythin ;)

[nev6]

its about time, come on defoe!

[sparky771]

he deffinatly livened it up defoe but not enough :(

[jonathon5]

Defoe has stepped on the gas !

[sparky771]

WTF id Wayne playing at! hes never like this when hes in red so why is he now!?!?

[Giraffe]

WTF id Wayne playing at! hes never like this when hes in red so why is he now!?!?

As the commentators are saying, none of them play like they do for their clubs, it's a JOKE.

[JOHNJELLY]

Cross your fingers like the Kit-Kat avert says

[sparky771]

ITS PISSING ME OFF!!! FABIO DITCH THE 442!!! Its clearly not working!!

[jonathon5]

Never mind they can all console theirselves with a new gold rolex tomorrow . From there match fee !

That performance wasn't worth a gallon of dog piss !

[Tom]

So frustrating.

[Jordysport]

poked my head in my sis's room,

it was fu**king hilarious, i lolled alot of how much a fail football is, oh and england. pmsl. such :homme: 's

[Peter_D]

Heskey is bollocks

Rooney looks like he doesn't even want to be there

Gerard throwing himself down trying to get a late penalty, saying he was 'tugged'

Lampard taking random pot shots that just flutter effortlessly across the grass and out for a goal kick

Crock of shite

[nev6]

another 90 mins of life wasted, watching that dog turd performance

[BBM]

LOL! Bougherra is the man!

[sparky771]

They dont deserve FUCK all for that.!!! this is what i reckon we should do next game.....

Make beckham manager! Play Rooney upfront on his own supported by Gerrard! Take bent not heskey! Play joe hart in as number 1! Play carragher RB and play Dawson with terry!!

[Sophia_Bush]

Massive shower of shit is what describes that match.

Doesn't matter who you support or what your nationality is Tonight ladies and gents you witnessed England drop out of the WC

[jonathon5]

So frustrating.

watch a film called "one night in Turin"


That's frustrating but they got a heroes welcome back home,

I am saying no more as the thread overpaid , lazy, no pride I got flames for !

[woodysVTR]

Pathetic. Reminiscent of 12 year old kids playing in a field at break time. No wait, that's insulting to 12 year old's...

[kennysevenfold]

We dont overestimate atall but we were playing 1000000x better than this in the qualifying stages So what the Fuck has happened!!

Dunno why im trying to justify england to a scot you lot cant take it that we are better at everythin ;)

Better at everything? i would rather not qualify that go and embarass myself by that performance by england.

There comming home, there comming home. England's comming home :y:

[kennysevenfold]

LOL! Bougherra is the man!

Bouggy :afro:

get him on another contract Mr Murray :D

[sparky771]

watch a film called "one night in Turin"


That's frustrating but they got a heroes welcome back home,

I am saying no more as the thread overpaid , lazy, no pride I got flames for !

TBH mate I take everythin i said back i thought the USA were good so i accepted that draw, but this drawing to algeria!! FUCK ME!!


LOL at what rooney said, but they deserve booin to be frank.

[Peter_D]

Rooney needs to catch the next plane back to England

He actually reminded me of Vinnie Jones in that Mean Machine film...when he is trying to throw the game by making inconspicuous mistakes and giving the ball away, making half arsed attempts etc

Only difference is Vinnie Jones changed his tune and turned the game around, which is what England need to do

[VTomR]

theyre all fucking shit, not one player played well.

[saxovtsmad]

biggest load of crap algeria made england look like a non league team

[sparky771]

Better at everything? i would rather not qualify that go and embarass myself by that performance by england.

There comming home, there comming home. England's comming home :y:

I agree mate :P

I was only joking, Im half scottish. :hug:

[Tom]

LOL it reminded me of the film too...

[JBVTR]

what did rooney just say ?

[Tom]

He said "nice to see your home fans booing you".

They deserved it.

[BBM]

Bouggy :afro:

get him on another contract Mr Murray :D

Get us the £10 million he is worth please Mr Bain ;)

[sparky771]

Its nice to hear your own fans booin you. Is what rooney said ;)

[JBVTR]

ha daft c**t what do they expect

[Graeme]

yes we played shite but were not out of it yet and its still in our own hands!!!

[Peter_D]

Better at everything? i would rather not qualify that go and embarass myself by that performance by england.

There comming home, there comming home. England's comming home :y:

Fuck off you clown, it's idiots like you that piss me off.. As a Geordie whos lived in Scotland since i was 6, i cheer on both teams when they are playing as even if England didn't win but Scotland did, it would be a result for Britain

It's sour, green eyed twats like you that piss me off spouting shite because of something that happened hundreds and hundreds of years ago and no one can let it rest even though everyone associated from those days are dead and buried and it's in the past

Don't even reply to this i don't want to discuss anything ok, just take it on the chin and pipe down

[dav0506]

The team just looked tired and dejected. I don't think Capello is the right man for the job, he can't seem to motivate them. I know some of you are thinking that they are playing for England in the world cup so they shouldn't need motivation but there there seemed to be no drive in their perfrmance. We did play shit but i also do think that Algeria played a good game, far better than the other day anyway.

[djmartin]

strange thing is im english and I dont follow england lol followed italy from day one. dont ask me why but even on a computer game il select italy every dam time!

by all means slate me all you want but I wont be a glory supporter il support the team ive always followed and liked. with regards to england id rather support our troops who are been killed out there then these pieces of shite on the green top who are far over paid there wages coud pay for better weapons/ways of surivig bombs etc etc!

[scotty_04]

what a joke there is no chance that we are getting very far in this wc :(

[sparky771]

I wonder what the odds are of us not gettin past the group stages? haha!

[Sophia_Bush]

I wonder what the odds are of us not gettin past the group stages? haha!

check the odds wouldn't mind a punt on that

[boony]

Boat load of. WANk no passion or pride .... expect to be disappointed

[lt-saxslo]

Rooney needs to catch the next plane back to England

He actually reminded me of Vinnie Jones in that Mean Machine film...when he is trying to throw the game by making inconspicuous mistakes and giving the ball away, making half arsed attempts etc

Only difference is Vinnie Jones changed his tune and turned the game around, which is what England need to do

thats exactly what i thought, they were all dog shite.

[sparky771]

check the odds wouldn't mind a punt on that

Just looked on the interweb and dint find much tbh :panic:

[jonathon5]

Pride & effort for those who were too young to see this match

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u96T3rnHRM

They made us proud with their effort & pride

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH_Yt0K3tZA


Oh how i wish to feel that pride again.

[iMystikz]

England players shouldnt get paid for playing for england.. They should do it for pride, i bet theyd play half decent tbh!

[dav0506]

He said "nice to see your home fans booing you".

They deserved it.

I'm not having a go, i'm just voicing my thoughts...

Although i'm as frustrated to fuck like every other England fan that we played shit and didn't get a decent result i don't think booing our own team is the answer. We should be getting behind them, i know it's hard to do that now when they don't look like they're playing with pride, passion and heart. I just don't think that will help the situation. I thought it was bad enough that Capello dropped Green for that mistake (yeah i know it technically cost us a point!) i just don't think that helped matters, just because he made one mistake doesn't mean he would make another.

[sparky771]

Good find Jon it does fill you with pride watching him cry tbh Like the korea striker who was crying during his anthum (sp?) the other night against brazil.

[dav0506]

Pride & effort for those who were too young to see this match

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u96T3rnHRM

Yeah, he was one of the greats, along with Shearer and the rest. Just a shame Gazza has had problems later in life.

[sparky771]

On an up note, James Cordens show is on :D and Aby Clancey ooooooffffft!

[dav0506]

England players shouldnt get paid for playing for england.. They should do it for pride, i bet theyd play half decent tbh!

Totally agree, if it was me i'd do it for free. I bet many of the current players would play for free.

I feel a change in the England camp is needed after the WC!

[dav0506]

On an up note, James Cordens show is on :D and Aby Clancey ooooooffffft!

Oh yes to miss Clancy :y:

She was on his crappy sports show a few week back too :luff:

[Tom]

England players shouldnt get paid for playing for england.. They should do it for pride, i bet theyd play half decent tbh!

I'm pretty sure they give all of their England match fees to charity.

EDIT: Maybe just this world cups match fees actually.

[jonathon5]

Yeah, he was one of the greats, along with Shearer and the rest. Just a shame Gazza has had problems later in life.

its sad but he was admitted to the mental hospital in the village where i live, now he's in hospital again.

arguably the greatest football player in the world at the time in 1990.

But the pride he had for the honour of wearing the england shirt was awsome, he would have played for free.

Lineker was also a battler & as long as he was on the field there was always a hope of a goal.

Rooney used to be like that, but i don't know whats happened.

That is why i wear my gazza italia 90 number 19 shirt with pride.

I know we lost on penalties but the german also played hard that night :y:

[sparky771]

Oh yes to miss Clancy :y:

She was on his crappy sports show a few week back too :luff:

Crouch is such a lucky lanky bastard hahah!

:boxing:

[23carragold]

Capello is genuinely losing his grip on the team. He controls via fear, and an autocratic method is not going to win many fans, not least the England team. We need someone who genuinely relates to the players, yet still harnesses the professionalism.

Gus Hiddink is the only guy that comes to mind who could genuinely make a difference.

England are actually and officially shit.

I'd say Rooneys had a hard season, he was very quiet against u.s.a too, probably suffering from fatigue.

Crouch is such a lucky lanky bastard hahah!

:boxing:

I think money also helps too.

[Heliosphan]

Disagree on every point.

Rooney needs to fuck off and grow up. If he can't accept boos then he shouldn't be playing at this level. Any player worth his salt in that England team should look upon the boos as a kick up the backside. Fans have paid thousands to watch this shower of shit and that performance was unacceptable and shameful. These guys are paid around £100k per week. Deal with the pressure, take responsiblilty and stop moaning at the fucking fans. Pathetic.

As for Rob Green, he's never been a keeper. I'd put him on the first plane home and retire him permanently from the England team. Not just because of his mistake either. He is more than used to seeing the ball fly past him for West Ham and clearly can't cope with the big ocassion. Garbage, and he'll let us down again too given the chance.

I don't know where we go from here.

I'd say new management.

[djmartin]

I'd say new management.

id if people have been paying attention its fkin obvious the next manager is david beckham ;)

1. he dont even need to be there with the team but he is.
2. he is seriously dressed smart none of the other players even those who aint playing are dressed the same as him.


so my bets are on beckham been the next manager and if that is so, it should make a big impact on the team as they all respect him in some shape or form!

I really hope your right i think David would be the best manager in a long time, because he knows how to play his players because hes played with them and knows what they can do and what they cant etc etc like not playing the predictable formation that fabio seems to love, i dont think he knows any other ones :wall:

[Krys_23]

Theo walcott should be at the world cup before Lenny Henry.. aka Heskey.

[jonathon5]

fuck it

get

gazza (in hospital)
butcher (at home)
linker (in africa) bonus !
shearer (with lineker ) double bonus !
& fucking shilton back (no idea)

they are all past it but they would have at least shown some pride & effort.

These players are apparentley on a 100k a match yet our soldiers are getting 20k a year.

They should be ashamed of their perfomance tonight !

[Mieran]

jonathon, are you in your 40s?

[jonathon5]

Good point. Soldiers are giving their all for our country, and these lame excuses of humans are more interested in what hairstyle to have next etc. I've never felt it before, but seriously, now I do; our footballers are overpaid lazy and idiotic people who do not deserve even half of what they earn.

Sickens me knowing soldiers/nurses and others get a pittance for doing a job that ACTUALLY is worthwhile and makes a POSITIVE change to our society.

[Ryyy]

Knew this thread would be hot.


Change is needed within the team, whether they be drastic or slight, there needs to be changes. Change the formation, get rid of Heskey, stop the "lucky long balls" going in, just change something Capello for fucks sake.

Secondly, the attitude, it needs changing aswell, they sometimes either seem lackluster or like rabbits in the headlights, we have quality players, Gerrard, one of the most sought after holding-mid's in the world seemed out of position, Rooney, prolific goal scorer looked like he just simply couldnt be arsed. Lampard didnt want the ball and the rest looked leggy, weary and oh so terrible.

If we want any chance of getting through to the last 16, we need change in the team.

Its been nice to see loads and loads of St.George flags everywhere you go, everywhere you look someone is hanging one out of their car windows, or up on their houses. The support is and always has been there, its the players that need a good fuckin' telling off, a kick up the arse, and to show their true quality, which so far nobody has seen, not just from England, but from most teams in this world cup.

And for Wayne Rooney to say what he did at the end, well..he's probably lost alot of fans with that one sentence.

[Mieran]

no I am not.:y:

50s? Only kidding :p

[dav0506]

I have the upmost respect to all the soldiers/nurses and the rest who do do a decent job for our society but unfortunately their pay is down to the government.

[jonathon5]

funny as fook geezer over my road has just come out & ripped the 4 flags off his car.

I really hope we can turn it around & fire up the lions.

I m just dreading wednesday, hopefully the act will come together in time.

slovinians looked shit hot today, the yanks we deffo beat the algerians.

[Heliosphan]

I have the upmost respect to all the soldiers/nurses and the rest who do do a decent job for our society but unfortunately their pay is down to the government.

and their own personal choice to do the job in the first place.

[jordysaxobby]

grrrr! shut up about the bloody england match! least you actualy got to watch it and didnt have to work!

exactly its clear as day thats the intentions. if im the only one who can see this then you all need to go to spec savers. its an obvious move that will happen. think of all the other england players who became the manager! beckham is on his last legs with regards to playing on the pitch for england (no one can argue that its just fact age,injuries) so whats the next best one for him to still stay apart of it? oh yeh manager or at the most assistant! just like maradona has done & all the others before him with other teams!

[french_baguette]

They had morphius in goal, we never had a chance.

[jordysaxobby]

Don't get your panties in a twist, you didn't miss anything worth watching!

im not botherd about watching it i watched some of it and yeh it was shit but who cares at no point this year have i thought i think we can win the world cup we cant we're not that good!,

[dav0506]

Don't think Maradona will last that long tbh. I loved what he apparently said about the french though...
Something along the lines of ''Pele is a fossil and should go back to the museum'' and ''Platini is French so that says it all, you can't say hello and bye to a Fench person without them making a fuss of it.'' Iirc anyway.

Fucking frogs!!

[Ryyy]

Nah Maradona said hes always had a distant relationship with Michel Platini, and that he just says Hello, Goodbye to him and that is all.

Who fucking cares about that fat coke abuser anyway.

What a dreadful manager he is.

[djmartin]

Nah Maradona said hes always had a distant relationship with Michel Platini, and that he just says Hello, Goodbye to him and that is all.

still won 4-1 lol. least his team can score goals and win hahaha

[dav0506]

And a cheat of a footballer too

[Ryyy]

still won 4-1 lol. least his team can score goals and win hahaha

Thats just down to the players though matey.

I feel Diego is one of the worst managers going.

His pre-world cup decisions were woeful.

[djmartin]

oh i do agree but what i was stating was most players do become mangers and I hik its soon beckhams turn.

could you honestly imagine if he became manager and the team became stupidly awesome. what the reactions would be.


there is a saying in the sports world which only those who have done a coaching or managerial role will know of.

when you win the coach is the last to be thanked, but when you loose the coach is the first to be blamed!

[martinmac]

We dont overestimate atall but we were playing 1000000x better than this in the qualifying stages So what the Fuck has happened!!

Dunno why im trying to justify england to a scot you lot cant take it that we are better at everythin ;)

The difference is we know we aren't good enough to win the world cup ;)

The media and the pundits and all the rest have played their chances up far too much as usual. They were never good enough to win the world cup in the first place.

Edit: And not everything... i believe the Tennis number 1 is Scottish :D

[dav0506]

Tennis? Your more than welcome to keep him.

I can't be asked to read through the 7 pages of talk on this thread so here's my opinion;

- The first 2 England group games are played at altitude, the rest aren't. The team struggled at altitude because we simply can't play at them heights.

- Team tactics were wrong, Seemed like Gerrard should be played just behind Rooney.

- People have slated Heskey all night! WTF are you thinking?! The past 2 games he is one of the only players that has turned up and put out a performance.

- Wait till we get games at Sea Level, i.e. Slovenia, watch how England WILL put in a performance and show what we really have got!

Next weeks team;

James

Johnson Dawson Terry A.Cole

- - Lampard Carrick J.Cole
Gerrard
Rooney Heskey

[Finchowned]

Fucking abysmal and embarrassing performance! Always knew football was over-hyped shit and England have just proved that to me.

Horrendous effort.

[jonathon5]

@ domley

bollox , fuck all to do with altitude it's all to do with attitude.

They looked like a they had carrots stuffed up their arses !

Couldn't pass, couldn't control the ball, couldn't be bothered to run !

If that's what representing the country means to them , then maybe their passporsts should be revoked & they can stay in fucking south Africa.

Last night I was bemused & dissapointed , this morning after watching the ordeal again I am fucking angry !

Tactics are only 20%, 80% is effort, pride & skill.

If they don't turn in a good performance on Wednesday ( win or loose) & show some passion, non of them should ever wear the shirt again !

[jpsaxo]

What a joke, and I had to get up at 4:30am to watch that pile of crap!

Time to go and watch a decent england side beat Australia in rugby union tonight in sydney :D

[easty27]

None of them deserve to wear the shirt
just a bunch of overpaid idiots

[harrytool]

Where are the world class performances to say we are any good?
we just think we are and we are not !!
As a team we are no better than Algeria that's the proven fact!
we as a nation think we are good, but I am afraid that's not fact, I'm sorry to say, it's just hype and expectation
I don't understand why everyone expects us to be so good!
I want us to win don't get me wrong
the thing is we are not that good as a national team anymore, we've been nowhere near world class for 40 years!
we even struggle to qualify for world and European competitions nowadays, we didn't even qualify for the last euro cup,
it's all hype we are just not very good I'm afraid that's the fact

England (0) 2 Croatia (2) 3
Outclassed, outfought and outthought, England are out of Euro 2008 and Steve McClaren will surely be out of work after the FA board meet this morning, deservedly so. Russia qualify behind the outstanding Croatians and England have only themselves, and their hapless manager, to blame.

i thought the game last night was at sea level? correct me if im wrong though. and thoughts on heskey.... no no no no no he might have played better than others and one most the balls in the air, but where did they end up? Algeria's feet every time

[M1VT]

england
cant beat the yanks
cant evens core against the terrorists

pack your bags and go home now boys,save the nation a whole load of hassle

:D

[SaxOhdear]

I watched the game this morning, just to see if the alcohol had made them look worse than the were - Tbh, I turned it off after 45 mins, as it was embarrassing to watch.

The Premiership is renowned as the best league in the world, and we looked half arsed against a team of which the majority probably have full time jobs alongside playing football! We just don't have any pride anymore! Heskey looked busy and dangerous ( to himself ) his stepover was cringeworthy, and don't get me started on that sulking, scouse, ginger beard growing, overpaid, half evolved knuckle dragger!

Why even take Heskey over there? I mean, if his entire role is to hold the ball up, be strong, and feed Rooney, then there are several hundred guys playing Sunday league that could fill his shoes, and give his left bollock for it!

don't forget the top 10 teams in the premier league have mostly foriegn players !!!!!

[jonathon5]

Terry & lampard both earn over a £100k a week ....

They also get paid for playing for England.

Lampard must wear concrete filled boots & a blind fold when playing for England. All he is thinking about is luxury holidays & fucking the irish bird off the one show.

Terry is obviously thinking the same way ....

Because neither of the a worth a crate of dog shit a week based on last nights performance !

They don't give a fuck about the supporters .

[haz_pro]

Last night was utter shite, I hope they lose to Slovenia to prove a point, I want to be watching good games in the last 16, not games like last night

I don't understand why England have an Italian manager? Capello doesn't give a shit what the results are, he still gets his huge pay cheque every month, I would rather see an English manager who is passionate for the country, Capello must deep down be rooting for Italy ...

Italia '90, Sir Bobby Robson(RIP), Lineker, Gazza, Shilton, Waddle etc - that's what you call a true English team, passion and pride

All I saw last night was a bunch of overpaid ponces who couldn't be arsed, taking orders from an Italian who can barely string a sentence of English together

The only player who stood out for me last night was Ashley Cole, he looked like the only one who wanted to be there

[jonathon5]

If England do shit I doubt we will get the 2018 world cup.

That is why beckham is there, to support the bid.

May as well burn the 8kg bid book or use It for toilet paper for those in the slums.

They get paid in a month what the supporters will earn in a lifetime .

[sparky771]

The difference is we know we aren't good enough to win the world cup ;)

The media and the pundits and all the rest have played their chances up far too much as usual. They were never good enough to win the world cup in the first place.

Edit: And not everything... i believe the Tennis number 1 is Scottish :D

Actually tennis number one is Nadal and hes spanish ;) haha

and we just beat you at cricket too so thers another thing :P

[dav0506]

If USA played like they did today they would of beaten England.

I don't know if you saw the match but we were lucky not to get beat by the USA anyway

[Bound]

I don't know if you saw the match but we were lucky not to get beat by the USA anyway

Well, USA's goal was a fluke. I wouldn't say they played brilliantly against England, England are a 'better' team, but played poorly, USA are a 'poorer' team but didn't play awful - meaing 1 -1. But they stepped it up for their last game, and they would've beaten England had they played like that.

[stokedrich]

So sad we don't seem to be able to put in a good performance when we need to...I mean how much more motivation could a team possible need ffs! I think's it's over for us :n:

[Tom]

It was a new low for England against Algeria I admit, but I don't know what people were expecting coming into the world cup. The media have (as usual) been building England up way too much but when was the last time England really played well? Croatia?

The performance against the USA wasn't much different to all of our recent performances so wasn't a surprise to me, it's just a shame that they seem unable to gel as a team even after all these years of playing together.

[dav0506]

They get paid in a month what the supporters will earn in a lifetime .

I don't begrudge what the players are earning but what they earn is down to clubs they play for. Teams like Man C have a pot of never ending gold for an owner and will pay anything to get a player. The England players especially Lampard, Gerrard and Rooney play their bollocks off week in, week out and produce the kind of form that makes them world class, and are earning their £80,000 a week. Yet when playing for their country they're totally different players, and are not earning even a tenth of what they earn.

Well, USA's goal was a fluke. I wouldn't say they played brilliantly against England, England are a 'better' team, but played poorly, USA are a 'poorer' team but didn't play awful - meaing 1 -1. But they stepped it up for their last game, and they would've beaten England had they played like that.

On paper England are better than all our three group opponents. I expected us to win our three group games with somewhat ease but actually being out on the pitch it's a different story.

[dav0506]

I was even thinking of putting a bet on that we won't make it past the group stage.


The performance against the USA wasn't much different to all of our recent performances so wasn't a surprise to me, it's just a shame that they seem unable to gel as a team even after all these years of playing together.

Also probably due to the fact that half of them are played out of position.

[WestCoastJosh]

hesky is doing ok barry should fuck off back to the oxygen tent he is wank

barrys better than heskey!
heskeys normally the biggest man on the pitch but spends half of the game on the floor!

[martinmac]

Actually tennis number one is Nadal and hes spanish ;) haha

and we just beat you at cricket too so thers another thing :P

British number 1 ;)

And i don't understand cricket, its glorified rounders!

I am not denying England are better at Football though... check this:

Exactly - Spain, Italy, England and France have been the most dissapointing teams of this world cup. I expected much more from them, as some of the best teams in the world, they have the players, they just don't deliver. Dissapointing. Still, opens the door for the smaller teams to have a crack. I really hope a Country that people don't have down as having a chance do well, e.g. USA.

[VTomR]

I can't believe we only managed a draw against a shit team we should easily have beaten.


I'm ashamed to call myself Algerian.

Somebody else made that joke yesterday

[Marky_C]

Irregardless of how much England have been bigged up we failed to show the passion and effort needed to win.

ohh :(

ohh :(

10/10 for effort though lad :hug:

More like 0/10. That 'joke' is fucking awful.

[chazdear14]

i havnt read through this whole thread so dont know if this has been mentioned but did anyone watch us stuff the aussies in the rugby? im not much of a rugby fan by surely this is the kind of passion we want from our football team!

Speaking of which, New Zealand have just taken the lead against Italy :y:

[joe333]

I hate england now

[Sam-]

To be honest i think only argentina have shown the form and class they have.
Even the germans have lost a game, france are shit, italy are old and losing to new zealand, spain didnt seem to have any idea how to score.
I hope all these teams sort it out and we get a proper quality knockout stage.

On a positive note, who enjoyed watching chile?

[Sophia_Bush]

Go New Zeland!

Think alot of people need to calm down with Spain.

Italy, yes, poor..As youre probably watching now, but they thrive in grinding out tight, crucial wins when it matters, bloody hell they looked awful in 2006, but they won it.

France have their own problems, people going home, team morale low due to arguments and petty grudges, that sort of thing will always destroy a team.

But Spain, weve seen the biggest shock again the Swiss, but I reckon thats a one-off, maybe even a once in a lifetime thing, they'll turn up the heat against Honduras, and will make it through, they have the quality and the strength in depth.

People need to stop jumping the gun so quick, these are after all just the group stages.
