England Out

[Embattle]

Typical England style of trying to play for the draw in the last 15-20 mins and we ended up losing. Its not as if we've played well in either this match or the Germany one.

Over paid bunch of idiots.

 

[old.Pure Science]

i have to agree emb

how do they do it?

its beyond me, it really is

 

[old.captor]

HeHe , i dont think we were playing for a draw. I think we are incapable of winning a game once our only tactic of give the ball to beckham is found out. We have no left side and its as simple as that for me . Any team with any tactical clue just has to sit deep if owens playing, close down becks on the right and stop scholes from heading in the box. Just goes to shopw how naff germany have become IMHO of course. BTW i am english l0l

Me just turned me cilla black voice on and started singing 'surprise surprise'

 

[DApea!]

Me just turned my Arnie voice on and says 'tugdie tugdieee!'

NO@CILLA!

Absoultly peed off with the team. I think the problem was with Kevin Keegan - why take off Owen when he was proving to be a good force up front....then Dennis Wise who was playing well throughout. Nicky Barmby hardly touched the ball. As for Philip Neville and that tackle........idiot. Am trying not to swear.

Useless......absolutely.

You can't say it wasn't expected!

Q: Why aren't the England football team allowed to own a dog?
A: Because they can't hold on to a lead.

Q: What's the difference between the England team and a tea-bag?
A: The tea-bag stays in the cup longer.

Q: What's the difference between a packet of sellotape and Phil Neville.
A: One's a glueless kit.

Oxo were going to bring out a Euro 2000 commemorative cube painted red, white
and blue in honour of the England squad. But it was a laughing stock and
crumbled in the box.

Hehe, maybe they'll put something decent on the TV instead.

>>Hehe, maybe they'll put something decent on the TV instead.

Indeed. The footie's been playing havoc with the Eastender schedule

We all need a reality check, thinking England deserve to lift these cups everytime they enter a tournement. All the players are on a nice little earner, playing fotball from school to adult life, not knowing the difficulty of getting a decent paid job. The bunch of them should get done for fraud, and deception charges brought against them.

ok, a few facts about how to win football games.

1) you must be able to pass the ball confidently.
2) You must attack the opposition and keep the game under your control.
3) You must not sub off all your flash cultured players and leave your defence exposed for 20 minutes at the end of a game.

hmmm, ok:

1) England cannot pass. The foreign basts have stolen our talented youth players places when they are no better than what we can raise ourselves, and the players might be learning, but they aint playing cause the foreigners are in their slots.

2) England (due to their inability to pass the ball, and constand panicing on the ball) cannot hold pssesion. Against Portugal we did not hold the ball, player gets it, player panics, player rushes a pass to other player under pressure, player loses ball.
and its been the same in EVERY game we played, even against the Germans.

3) Kev... supposed to be an attacking manager, pulls off Scholes and Owen, has the defence playing for 20 minutes under total pressure. It was inevitable that they were gonna crack, be it a missed header, bad touch, or in the case of poor Phil Neville, a mis judged tackle.

yes they are all overpaid, but that is irrelevant, you cant leave an entire team playing under so much pressure for so long, with no outlet (scholes or owen) and expect them to hold on to a draw, when they never had control of the game.

main reason we went out was becuase we had crap tactics, and our "attack minded" manager lost his touch big time.
