Expect Hansen to lay the blame on Pie Eater for that goal. Left a massive hole in defence by moving forward and attempting to play the offside trap despite having 3 teammates way behind him.

A lot of their "clean" tackles have still been unnecessarily strong and quite often with a follow through. Ref will be aware that we are the host nation and won't want to look biased by sending off a couple of players in the first game.

They're comparable to the crowds at Soccer Aid, lots of oohs and aahs.
Typical crowd more like. If you've ever been to see a football game live, when you see a tackle like that in the penalty area, you immediately shout for penalty whether or not the tackle was clean
Is it me or have Team GB turned it up a notch since losing a goal? Did we really need them to draw up before we turned it on?!

Urgh. Bound to happen.
We never looked dangerous with the ball. Never tried to keep it or dominate possession or, well, anything that could have lead to a goal.

So Giggs was rubbish, took a awful corner, passed it to Ramsey who gave it away and they go the other end and score. Short pointless corners for the win, getting a goal then backing off and playing like girls trying to desparately hold onto the league. Its such an English way to play, get a goal immediately change style of football to rushed panicked rubbish. Womens England team did almost exactly the same thing the second they got a lead.
I find it hilarious that all these usually **** at football countries or countries that haven't played very long all have really promising looking teams, while England think they know best and still teach rubbish football.
UAE team played better football than we did against better opposition and deserved a draw more than we did. Japan were fantastic, we're a joke. I swear all these "new" countries at football simply send out coaches/managers/FA types to Spain/Germany/Brazil/Holland/France to learn how to teach football, then go back home and do it and the whole world seems to be improving.
We send people over to see how those guys are teaching, come back and decide we've been doing it longer so we know whats best, we invented it don't you know, and keep teaching the old rubbish way. You get the odd player who just "gets" football and plays so completely differently to most other English/UK players, the likes of Bellamy, Scholes, Lampard, even Beckham, and potentially Wilshire/Cleverley, the rest are just workhorse bland not very good players.
Seriously, Giggs we took on current form and ability, a footballing decision, but Beckham who is currently playing massively better football, looks far far fitter, doesn't get involved, Ramsey on this years form is a dodgy pick as well.

God I hope we aren't going to have to put up with that afwul sound effect EVERY SINGLE TIME the Olympic rings logo is displayed.... before and after every replay in football, wonder if we'll get blasted with it in every event.
I blame the scum class in England who believe they own football and do their utmost to drive out all intelligence and anyone who isn't as thick as pig ****, be they supporters, coaches or young players.
It's absolutely awful isn't it!
Watch outside then.
We had company and it looks like I didn't miss very much from the GB game. I fear that we'll be seeing more of the same in the next game.
Now for some proper football:
