-
When you concede an unjust penalty sure lose morale and confidence i guess.

Agree ...Originally posted by stellazio:England are boring anyway.
I kind of have the feeling we have to make do with Euro 2008 without either France or Italy which is boring ...

Guus Hiddink does it again. His midas touch.

Its not Croatia i think, they have to pray Israel draws with Russia or something which is very unlikely.Originally posted by 798:now england must pray russia n croatia to lose in their next match. -
from the two stats, it can be seen dat england players sux tonite comparing wif russia!
rooney even though scored the only goal, the other goal attempts fail. he was hero n villiam of england failure tonite.
but the fault still laid to the whole squad! -
israel good or not? russia can beat them easily?Originally posted by stellazio:Its not Croatia i think, they have to pray Israel draws with Russia or something which is very unlikely. -
Israel was out of sorts against England on Wembly.Originally posted by 798:israel good or not? russia can beat them easily?
If you combine that sort of performance with the fact that they are already out of the running then I guess Russia SHOULD win.
But as they say, the ball is round

I secretly hope for a surprise though.Originally posted by stellazio:I will be very very surprised if they can't beat Israel.
Between England and Russia for Euro I would choose England hands down.
Jus for the pure drama the media stirs up

A guy from goal.com and his comments:
Ricardo,
The World 10/17/2007 11:29 PM HAHAHAHAHA....you crack me up Ian. As an English fella you're the last one to talk about knowing much about football. The English are classless, pathetic, losers that consider Long Ball football entertaining.....why? Because you just don't think Technique is important as physical presence. Tell me when was the last time England ever beat Brazil......? A suposed powerhouse team that uses the long ball system for everything, against an actual powerhouse which is the best team in the world when it comes to attractive sexy football ! You people will never learn that football is meant to be played on the ground and away from your opponents.....these so called professionals get paid big money to entertain not play long balls, if so then both you and I should be able to make the team....at least with Spain you can respect them because they do play possession football. Now stop writing comments on here and go shoot a long ball in your backyard, get some practice maybe you can make your national team ! -
i dont think mc clown knows how to use his players well
-
Yes...England is almost out now...boring team
-
i wonder who will england manager, players n fans blame this time if they r out?
blame everything except for themselves. -
I will be laughing if England doesn't make it at the end of the day. They have been in poor form long enough, so that should wake them up. The biggest bonus is that McClaren will finally be given the sack.
-
I think they should just sack McClaren, he's simply just not good enough.
Still have the cheek to say he's "disappointed to have lost the match which they were controlling until that penalty decision"....from what i see, eng did not control the match at all.. it was Russia who took the initiative and rightly so won..
They lost not because of the penalty decision, they simply just lost the plot. -
Robbo was the GK that night, is it? It's scandalising how he was chosen to be the GK when he's in such horrid form. And as usual, he parried the ball into the path of the opponent's player. Typical Robbo.
And to concede two goals in a space of four minutes... that's just shameful. -
england didn't lose it in this match...it was expected performance from them really, playing rather negatively going for the draw, which they nearly got but for the poor penalty decision.
simply put it, they lost it against macedonia drawing at home..... -
I find it perplexing that despite having a supposed world class midfield, the McClaren still cant make full use of it and relied on long balls...Give that team to world class managers like Wenger..Ferguson..Benitez..i bet you they will turn it into a powerhouse...
English media and their fans alike are very fickle. When McClaren first took over he was on the right foot..chalking up big wins and all..Praises were lavished upon him and his team. And now? -
long ball tactics only work if u have beckham, gerrard n crouch in ur 1st time lineup.Originally posted by lpx88:I find it perplexing that despite having a supposed world class midfield, the McClaren still cant make full use of it and relied on long balls...Give that team to world class managers like Wenger..Ferguson..Benitez..i bet you they will turn it into a powerhouse...

why is michael owen there? he's so short!
-
Benitez is also a long ball person.
But he'll make England hard to beat. -
Still it is wasted that a squad with supposedly talented players have to rely on long balls...Originally posted by 798:long ball tactics only work if u have beckham, gerrard n crouch in ur 1st time lineup.
