Does this annoy you too?

Im beginning to understand why england fail so much. We want them too.
It is really narking me off, the way this whole country, its media and population do not get behind their team 100%

Everyday i look in the paper its a story about doom and gloom for the england team. If its not rooney, its owen, or sven, even lampards inability to score penalties. They thrive on it. (now i know bad news sells, but god damn)

Today was freddie lungberg saying we cant win without rooney, who gives a flying **** what you think ljungbergj.
Its high time everyone stopped being so pessimistic, and took a small amount of pride, and blind faith, including the pages of the media, and stood up for England.
We are going to win, and it will make the team feel better if thats what they think we believe.
Rooney is but one man of a team that plays in the best league on earth, with probably the best players on earth.
Believe, believe in england and they will deliver. National pride.

COME ON ENGLAND!!!

Rant over.

Yeah, we need the 66 spirit, or the spirit of bringing on pele as a sub when he was a youth believing walcott can walk all over the oppostion.

You have to believe Neo, free your mind

Walcott is not ready at all, he hasn't scored a premiership goal let alone played 1 game. It's negative towards one player, not the team, and it doesn't matter as he won't play anyway.

I for one hope he does. Its just a gut feeling i have, if owen isnt producing the good, then a gamble should be made.

In 1958, he played in his first FIFA World Cup™ at the tender age of 17. The world was amazed as this slight teenager emerged from nowhere to light up the tournament with his dazzling skills. In fact it was player power that earned him a place in the starting line-up for Brazil's third match against the USSR

Because this could happen, ive seen walcott play a few times, hes very very good.
ok brazil didnt win, but i just want us to prove we can play like the best. Win or not.
Unfortunately decision have been made we dont like, but monaing will not help us.

But do you not think that this is the one time they should lie. its not exactly a lie is it either.
An encouraged team can perfom wonders they didnt know they had, underdog can always win if they beleive they can.
The best players in the world, cant. Why because we will them not too.

Why does a home side usual win, because of support.

I think what is annoying me this year most, is that in previous years i can see why we would be pessimistic because we just werent up to the rest of the worlds standards.
But this team in my 24 years of life, is the best i have ever seen, so why start picking at it.
That midfield is the best in the world no doubt, not even the italians or spanish or brazilians can beat that imo. The defence is also very strong, we actually have a very reliably keeper. The only thing lacking is a slightly weak up front.
You cannot deny we have an amazing team, equal to to the others?

I have never been more excited about a tournement. i support my local team the same as every football fan, but thats such a regularity that it doesnt feel the same as the one chance you get to see such a spectacle of the best players in the world.

I have this feeling in my bones that this is our time. Our world cup. and by joe, with the spirit of d-day, and the great escape, we are gona go into german, beat the crap out of all of them, and come home with that cup. The summer is gona be boiling, and its gona be a great time to be english.
(this may not happen, but i can dream)

Great post mate. Had me whistling the great escape while reading it!

I hope we do win it, I really do. Would be nice. Although my dual nationality means I want Espana to win as well!

Thanks im watching the great escape on UKTV gold now im feeling all warm and patriotic

I reckon 1990's team was better.
Shilton - Robinson - shilton yes, but only just
Parker - neville - neville wins by a shade i recon
Pearce - terry - terry wins this round
Walker - Ferdinand - hmm close battle gona have to ask the audience
Butcher - Cole - cole wins by a nose
Robson - Lampard - gona have to give this one to lampard sorry!!
Waddle - Beckham - hmm think waddle might have got this on an all rounder
Gascoigne - gerrard - Fraid gascoigne being the legend wins, but he shouldnt
Barnes - cole- I recon this one goes to barnes, but maybe a false start
Beardsley - Crouch - Beardsley of course.
Lineker - Owen - No on beats the might lineker

so your probably right to close to call, or im probably talking out my arse, and seeing as i dont know all the 90's exact positions i cant compare the reasonably
