The Official "Unofficial" Euro 2012 Thread

Rooney should not of started this game. He is not fit and it is not fair on him putting him under this pressure. He should of come on as the 60th minute sub if at all. Young is the biggest example of being picked because of your name I remember one cross but nothing else from him in the 4 games, a total passenger and well below his standards unfortunately.

Andy Carroll with the winner come on son!!

I am not a fan of possession for its own sake. But we have no cohesion going forward. Squad isn't strong enough for a long competition sadly but the manager has made mistakes. Not least it appears including Rooney was one of the biggest. Sadly the press would have vilified him if Rooney hadn't been taken.

 

[Gahn]

Fort Apache now lol

Also Henderson on instead of delaying for JD when you are aiming for a shootout I am not sure about that if I am honest. Mind you Parker has run his arse off maybe he could not survive the extra 20 minutes.

Heh - you know he'll end up taking a winning penalty now

Its like Italy are taunting England now. Look how bad we are we, hundreds of chances but we can't shoot for shit. All you have to do is get to penalties.... Then they will score with 2 minutes to go.

Carroll is certainly a trier; it's just a shame he can't pass, can't run with the ball, can't tackle and has a terrible first touch. Other than that, he's terrific.

 

[- English -]

:| thought that was it and i dont have to watch penalties

 

[rynnor]

lol - you have to feel a bit sorry for Italy.

 

[soze]

Good call lino bang on.

It's like watching a slapstick sideshow with Rooney.

 

[Turamber]

Carroll might not be great but he's done more than Wellbeck. Rooney and Young though, sheesh. Youngs done some good defensive stuff but going forward he has been wretched.

 

[Turamber]

Is it going to be like the Spain game in Euro 96? Bossed during the game and then a penalty shoot out victory from nowhere? Fingers crossed.

He really hasn't. running about a lot doesn't really count.

 

[Everz]

Fingers crossed.

 

[Gahn]

Fucking penalties

 

[Raven]

Cant watch. Going outside.

 

[Turamber]

He really hasn't. running about a lot doesn't really count.

Whereas Wellbecks total input into the first half was a defensive header. No running off the ball, no control of the ball, unable to hold it up or lay it off. Desperate stuff.

 

[rynnor]

It's by far Englands worst game - not sure why really?

 

[Shagrat]

oh man, I hate penalties. I need a cushion to hind behind.

 

[Shagrat]

[Cerb]

[Turamber]

[Wonk]

Hahahaha, he made a panenka. Only Loco Abreu is crazy enough to do that.

 

[Turamber]

You know Buffon will save one.

 

[Turamber]
