Title: Re: World Cup - C'mon the lads!! Post by tonyboy on Jun 11th, 2010, 3:35pm I recon Englands got a tuff time with the USA..... Have you seen there football players. They are built like Craigs car ( A Refrigerator ) They wear crash helmets with bars covering ther faces, and they play with an odd shaped ball...... I pity England |

Title: Re: World Cup - C'mon the lads!! Post by Jonnycab on Jun 20th, 2010, 12:55am Sack Capello now !!!....he's obviously the reason for the poor performance...why ?.....because he's Italian & therefore has no patriotism toward this country >:( How can any national team player respect a foreign manager when the manager obviously cannot portray any kind of national pride to the team ::) Foreign managers are fine in the domestic leagues, but when it comes the national squad, then surely a manager has to have the ability not just to manage, but to passionately enforce into the players the pride & passion they should feel in playing for their country....therefore, an England manager has to be English :)....Steve McClaren need not re-apply ;) No country has ever won the World Cup with a foreign manager & I very much doubt this year is going to be the first time. Anyway, if England fail to progress into the next round on Wednesday......then next week, I will be mostly supporting Holland ;D |

Title: Re: World Cup - C'mon the lads!! Post by rich1 on Jun 20th, 2010, 4:26pm i sort of agree with jonnycab , but when we sailed tro the qualifiers he was hailed as a genius.... personally i think its down to the players(again) they just aint good enough , they might look good for they`re clubs but is that because they are surrouned by good foriegn players ??? |

Title: Re: World Cup - C'mon the lads!! Post by Jonnycab on Jun 21st, 2010, 2:20am Sort of agree Rich, but ultimately it is the manager that picks the players & if he picks the wrong players then he has to take the blame for any poor performances ;) There is a hardcore of players that are very good....Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, Terry, etc who are the real backbone of the squad. But there are a few players in the mix that really shouldn't be there & who weren't in the squad when England were playing the qualifying games......& there are a few players that played in the qualifiers, who helped get the team to the group stages who haven't been included in the final squad ??? One player that springs to mind....& I was astounded to hear that he wasn't in the squad...was Theo Walcott :o The kid scored a hatrick against Croatia in the qualifiers for gods sake :D.....& although he's not had a great season...mainly due to niggling injuries (he did break his collar bone while playing for England 18 months ago), he was fully fit & ready to go. He can run like Linford Christie & has alot of skill & flair....so why didn't Capello take him ?.... ....I reckon this could have been his time to shine, just as Owen & Rooney did when they were young & hungry :)... & why is Capello so reluctant to bring on Joe Cole....& why does he always pick Heskey over Crouch ?...does he not think they are good enough ?...if not, then why did he take them ? :-/ I'm sorry, but I still think it's a (foreign) managerial issue why England are playing so bad. I suppose ultimately it is those dunces at FA HQ who are at fault for employing this guy. But it defies belief, that just before the World Cup started, they offered Capello a new 2 year deal worth £6 million a year to stay on as England manager, just so he wouldn't be tempted by the likes of AC Milan etc. Surely they should have waited until after the World Cup ? ???....now it's gonna cost them £12 million to sack him ::) |

Title: Re: World Cup - C'mon the lads!! Post by rich1 on Jun 21st, 2010, 7:56pm i said from the start the squad wasnt good enough , as a arsenal fan ive watched theo a lot this season and hes been poor , but i would have taken him as an impact sub like wenger did in the first leg against barcelona , they couldnt handle him . as for joe cole (hope he comes to arsenal) i dont get why capello doesnt play him , but then again nor did ancelotti at chelsea ????? personally for wednesday i would drop rooney. heskey and lampard , all three have been s**t and i`d play crouch and defoe(as a gooner that sticks in the throat a bit:-) )they know how to play together , and id play cole . we can still get thro but we`ve got to improve 100% .............heres hoping btw did anyone see that ivory coast player cheating like ive never seen , unbelivable , got to be banned and kaka`s ban overturned |

Title: Re: World Cup - C'mon the lads!! Post by Highlander on Jun 22nd, 2010, 10:33am I'm about to turn and support England, after the Algeria display they need all the support they can get! I could have picked a team from our street that could have given them a game that night! ;D They definitely seem to have the same problem as the French, a team of quality players that just dont seem to play together |

Title: Re: World Cup - C'mon the lads!! Post by Chris_Basel on Jul 1st, 2010, 10:43am It is nice to hear that Fabio Capello is trying to boost the confidence of the England squad by setting up a friendly against Iceland. Evidently if they win this they will go on to play Sainsburys and then Tesco. |
