World Cup 2010 - Round of 16 (Knock-out stage) **spoilers**

[Secret_Window]

I'm not afraid to admit it but it was inevitable, you only have to look at the poor decisions Capello has made so far and our poor results. Playing players in positions they play worse in over positions they play well in just makes no sense at all.

Rooney kept passing the ball back, even when he could have attempted to run.

Where was he meant to pass it? Our zero wingers or our tiny striker?

One point he did a great run out wide, looked up and there was only Defoe marked by a 6ft4 Mertesacker in the middle! What is he mean to do? Dribble past the entire team himself? Fact is we're playing 4 central midfielders (2 of them shoehorned as wingers) and he has zero support. He played in Gerrard, Defoe and Milner for chances so he played a ****load better than most of our team.

lol at the last bits of footage in that clip.

Total shambles that wasn't counted.

I will only support them if NONE and I mean NONe of those players in that squad ever play for england again ah well i am sure they rae fine with their 150k a week + endorsments and are glad to be out so they can go do their chavvy things with their wags.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Time to put 606 on five live and hear some seething England fans!

 

[Shamikebab]

It's quite unbelievable that Rooney hasn't scored.

No it isn't, all teams have to do is mark him and they know that no-one else on the England team has the quality to do a defense splitting pass or a great cross.

 

[regulus]

At least we no longer have to put with smug commentators banging on about 1966.

Oh we'll never stop. Got **** all else to babble on about. We'll still go on about it in 2066.

 

[Cosimo]

only the special one can lead England to world cup glory

He wouldn't waste his time.

 

[Psycho Sonny]

Why is an aston villa player putting an england shirt on anyway ? no disrespect intended but villa at best are mid table also ran side.

liverpool came mid table yet have 3 players in the side

 

[Nor]

Amateurish. Defence was all over the shop and no ideas going forward. All hustle and bustle and nothing else.

 

[ElliorR]

The BBC HD announcer just said about watching the world cup in HD from the Rainbow Nation.

Well we certainly Bungled that.

 

[weescott]

Too much expectation on a mediocre side. As a consequence England play rubbish and get boo'd by their own fans and go out. No surprise.

 

[Aedus]

Rooney played like a fat sack of ****, he was totally worthless.

 

[jrodga2k5]

Ok I know Scotland havent qualified since 1998 etc etc but Sky Sports just showed the England record recently at World Cups....

2010 Last 16

2006 Quarter Finals

2002 Quarter Finals

1998 Last 16

1994 Did Not Qualify

1990 Semi Finals

It's actually not a great record when you look at the players that England have available, maybe time for some realism next time out.

[ShaolinDreams]

Its easy to point out all the bad players/performances but wouldnt it be simpler to note who actually played well... I'll start.... erm .. ermmm... ermmmmmm

So you wouldnt have Crouch there either?

EDIT ninja edit while I was quoting you there dude.

[lixxus]

606 stupid non footy fans chatting ****. talking about wages and nonsense

as if the government or FA pay players. do they understand this is the entertainment industry and that its private industry and clubs that pay players.

 

[Superficial]

there does seem to be an upside though - a silver lining - assuming argentina go through then the english get to see either Germany or Argentina go out.
