Croatia 2 - 0 England
-
-
-
their qualification campaign is now under serious threat.
-
England has long been overrated.
It's high time they get a rude wake-up call and Croatia thoroughly deserved their win, even if one of the goals is a contender for howler of the tournament.

i dont understand why they chose mcclaren.

Me either... McClaren is clearly not up to the job. He never manage a proper club and do well at it before... How did he even became the manager i don't understand!Originally posted by dragg:i dont understand why they chose mcclaren.
Looks like he doesn't know how to motivate the players, the team! Even when he was at Middlesbrough, they didn't do well at all!
His choice of captain was already bad... Gerrard should have been captain. Terry is just too prone to making mistakes...The first goal was his mistakes again... It looks just like the Liverpool goal in the Community Shield. He let the shortest guy on the field, the guy he was suppose to mark score with his head! Again he didn't know the position to cover.
Now that he is the captain, i am afraid they can't drop him... he will play every match... I always said, Gallas covered alot of his shortcomings... and now we are seeing the real terry.
Anyway, McClaren makes England look like they were Middlesbrough. -
PAUL ROBINSON committed one of the biggest howlers of all time as England were humiliated.
Keeper Robinson completely missed a backpass from Gary Neville to gift Croatia their second goal on a night of misery for Steve McClarenÂ’s side.
Robinson and his team-mates were taunted by fuming England fans as they made their way to the team bus after this European Championship qualifier in Zagreb.
Hundreds of travelling supporters yelled ‘You’re not fit to wear the shirt’, ‘What a load of rubbish’ and ‘One David Beckham’.
England were trailing to Eduardo Da SilvaÂ’s 61st-minute header when Robinson committed the blunder he will never be allowed to forget on 69 minutes.
But. incredibly. the Spurs stopper tried to lay the blame on CroatiaÂ’s keeper Stipe Pletikosa.
Robinson insisted: “It was an absolute freak, there was nothing I could do about it.
“There were huge holes in the pitch where the Croatian keeper had been taking his goal-kicks in the first half and the ball bounced over my foot.”

Oh i think you meant the League Cup... no big deal that one... -
ok, i dun think highly of McClaren, i dun think he's good enuff for the England job..but dun blame that on him for all.
the truth is most England players are just bunch of overpaid idiots. they always think highly of themselves..cos they think they r england, supposed to be better...wat a joke -
Yayyyyyyyyyy!!!
No more than the English brats deserved.......!

England are mediocre really. Totally lacked imagination. Only Neville and Ashley Cole put up a decent performance.

i dun care abt your preference,Originally posted by SGpork:sorry but i dont like england..

but to say england got many good players is a FALLACY.
jus becos they r on the news, played up by the media, scores tons of money and enjoy a blessed life doesn't mean they r good on the field.
if u let folks like lampa, teriyaki and rio bolan have their career start in the continent, they may not have gone anywhere.....
if fact, the only time joecole, rio and lampa scored was a video of their 3some orgies with some misguided girls in cyprus or some mediteranean countries during their hammer's days. -
his cup triumph is a fluke...end of story...Originally posted by dragg:i guess they based it on 2 points;

he is english.
he may be english, but he is not the first choice. he is a save choice. i wld argue if efa needs an english, sam alla-what-his-name has got more guts and character to shape england into something. mcC is a dour, boring coach with no credentials... -
ppl were boasting about how great english players in epl like rooney the next XXXX, terry the next XXXX, carrick the next roy keane or watever. and look how they get owned internationally.
-
u know something.i think he wants to be the next rianeri. changing a formation for one of their toughest matches away from home. its not even a friendly match less say croatia.
hargreaves injured, just play parker in his place la, must change formation for fcuk. -
scott parker was no better than carrick, he just twist and turned better than carrick, didn't push forward with the ball at all.
they shld just play long balls, rooney and defoe got through when long balls were played -
the whole england team didn't play at all.stupid 3-5-2, they'll enver think bout it again.Originally posted by The man who was death:scott parker was no better than carrick, he just twist and turned better than carrick, didn't push forward with the ball at all.

The whole team was rubbish... But looks like PAUL ROBINSON was the joker of the pack!
Can blame other people for that somemore...

Lemme say once more:
The England team
Outstanding on paper ; S.h.i.t on grass -
