Sven is CRAP.

Gerrard and Lampard are playing awful. Beckham is sick. I know, why not bring off England's best player - Joe Cole. Yes, I can see the damn logic behind that.

Joe Cole had a horrible game, Lampard though has been awful this tournament and should be dropped, Gerrard wasn't great but atleast he's scored and a threat on goal.

Oh yeah and Ian Wright, god I hate that guy :mad:

i dislike this negative play. score a goal and defend for the remaining 10-15mins.

Agreed here.
What makes me cringe was in the last few minutes taking corners short and trying to hold the ball up. It just invites presure, its crap to watch, and damn nerveracking

I am not going to predict anything, England always look like they are struggling but they have won most of their games so far. Next game will be interesting if it is against Holland. I thought Lennon played great again even though he wasn't on much, we should use him more.

R0B75 · 25 Jun 2006 at 18:07

Well I was right with the scoreline and result, and aside from Beckham (who was ****) scoring that free-kick would have been right with Crouch coming on because later Lennon did come on and cause a few problems.

Moral of the story, if can somewhat predict how England will play, then it's easy for other teams. We never looked like scoring other than that free-kick. Had Lennon been on from the start with Rooney and Walcott up front, I can guarantee we would have had the game won by half time. England were awful.

Sven: You suck, hard.

We want to see our team give it their all and win convincingly - NOT scrape through in a lazy half arsed fashion, as if they were having a leisurely kick about in the park on a sunny afternoon.

He has rattled Ulrika Jonnson's bones though.

It's a win and the quarter finals Beckham.

Heh, I know, I'm chuffed to bits! As I said before, we played much more solidly today. Just annoyed about Sven in general, what manager likes being interviewed after every game being told "Well, England could have played better..." etc etc? Why's it taking him so long to figure it out?

Don't they have an excellent home record? something to do with them playing well above see level and being used to less oxygen or something

fat Frank aint having a good tournament at all. he hasnt even looked like scoring . At least gerrard has scored and just looks the better all round player. Dont let me even get started on hargreaves. He is just dross.

Erm, Hargreaves was one of our better players today. Did you even watch the match?

Tommy B · 25 Jun 2006 at 18:10

It affects me becaues I personally think it's sad to sit on a computer whilst watching football. If you're not a true fan or you don't really enjoy football that much, then fair enough - no problem. But if you consider yourself a true England fan you should be watching the game properly. You should use it as an excuse to get off the PC and enjoy yourself.

Lol, you have to let me know where your local park is, I would like to see a free game like that

Seriously though, I trhink a large number of people are getting caught up in the usual over hype from the media about us winning the cup which leaves us disapointed with a win

Gooner14 · 25 Jun 2006 at 18:13

Poor performance. Ashley Cole played really well and saved England a few times, Carrick did his job effectively as did Owen Hargreaves. Joe Cole had his worst game of the WC. Robinson is as dodgy as David James now, and neither Rio and Terry inspired confidence.

But we won and thats all that counts

£10 on Ecuador to win inside 90 minutes at 6-1.

I do hope I lose up £800 this month at the old casinos so not bothered
