ENGFAIL

Okay, how can England turn this around:

1) Divine intervention.

2) ????

3) ????

That was the worst England I've ever seen.

lol england

Wow we forgot how to play football

Absolutely miserable. France looked better. That's right. That's the worst fucking insult in the books.

Rooney was abismal. Lamps was stagnant. Fucking horrifying. At least USA suck together as a team.

Glenn Johnson was woeful.

rooney should have shut his ugly face before the game when he said that england would win even with an half-assed effort.

It was like someone accidently wrote John instead of Wayne on the team sheet.

I'd agree but that presupposes something i'm not entirely sure of.

lol, England.

Fat Frank has been anonymous.

He's always anonymous. It's just that occasionally he's anonymous and scores. They are his 2 modes.

It does annoy me that Gerrard is moved to a position he doesn't even like to accomodate clearly inferior players. Sometimes it's okay because when you look at it from the perspective of the team performance you get a net positive result but to do it when he's comfortably been man of the match in the previous game annoys me.

bah. went to the english pub here and it was all good except for the football which sucked. now back to work.

*coffee*

Against the USA? Think a few US players might feel a bit surprised...

lol, i don't

Hang the fucking lot of them

gonna need a pretty good crywank to get over this

Sincerely don't mind losing the next game. Put us out of our misery, please.

Yeah, keltoi, did you see the game? It's hard to feel good about it, despite the amazing comeback from the U.S., when you see how a fucking 3rd world useless cunt of a referee can once again trot out there, throw some cards around, and make an arbitrary decision that keeps a team from winning.

That's not negative nancy, nor is it miserable pissing, whining, bitch. Guilty as charged, sometimes, but this isn't the occasion. I'm still completely irate over it.

The only thing that makes it feel less shitty is knowing that the U.S., thanks to England's inability to lace up their boots, actually control their destiny against Algeria. It will be difficult to get all three points though, because the Algerians are pesky and irritating on defense.

yeah we have the best league in the world arguably, but then that's largely because of all the foreigners we attract. and yeah we won the world cup once way before any of us were even born, but fuck.

fuck it. it's not the players. it's not the manager. it's the whole game in england. i guess you can blame the FA or something. i generally know fuck all about football, but this is how it's been explained to me recently:

from a young age kids are put in leagues, and the focus is on winning games. at that age the focus is on getting the ball up to the big lad or lads in attack. and this tactic works, for a while.

but as the kids grow up this 'big lad' advantage means less and less, but that's the only way they've ever played, so the game becomes more and more physical.

but all this focus has ignored the tactical skills the argentinians and brazilians have been concentrating on from a young age. and tactical skill gives far better results in the long run, definitely more than physicality. RAGE.

pretty much this. Fucking embarrassing. Let's see....who played well for England. Well Beckham at least looked good sitting on the bench. Otherwise, utter shit. At least James didn't punt one into our own net.

Rooney - invisible, with shit touch.

Gerrard - visible, with shit touch.

Fuck it. Shit shit shit shit shit shit all around shit. Capello won't give up on fucking 4-4-2 which is clearly shit. The players don't look like they give a shit at all. Gerrard loses the ball and doesn't fucking chase after it? What the fucking fuck.

I'd rather have us lose now than get fucking owned in the round of 16.

fuck.

i am absolutley mental out of my mind drunk. what the fuck did i even watch today.

drop rooney for the next game and put the spurs forwards in there, and add joe cole for barry and put gerrard back in midfield - dawson will be put in defence after double yellow carding to charriger (thank god)

James

Johnson Dawson Terry A.Cole

Lennon Lampard Gerrard J.Cole

Crouch Dafoe

thats a winning formula .. if it fails put on rooney and play like this:

James

Johnson Dawson Terry A.Cole

Lennon Lampard Barry J.Cole

Gerrard

Rooney

P.S did anyone see the AFCB flag?

Wayne Rooney blasts booing England fans.

Yeah, those fans who spent the equivalent of five minutes of your wages to go and watch a load of inept shite.
