Re: World Cup 2014
 

As we all know Wales did not qualify for the WC and never really stood a chance.

Now that's out of the way am I allowed to make fun of England's flatulent attempt at qualifying for the next round?

Re: World Cup 2014
 

Why not, they deserve it.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

I would russ I think even wales would've done better than england

Re: World Cup 2014
 

The only thing I'm disappointed about really is the lack of pundits, ex-players, current players etc going on tv and saying "I genuinely believe we have a chance of winning it this year" like they normally do every 4 years :(

Re: World Cup 2014
 

You can say whatever you want Russ as your best player is better then all of ours put together.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

If you watch South American league football on a regular basis the first thing you realise is that, while not always pretty to watch it's very much a team game based on hard work, determination and not one for individuals on the big wedge trying to make a name for themselves.

Not surprising that Costa Rica and Chile inparticular are getting good results.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

You think they would have been able to qualify then. ;)

Re: World Cup 2014
 

France might have scored two quick goals but that has to be the worst attempt at a goal celebration so far.:D

Re: World Cup 2014
 

Seeing Djourou and Senderos together as a centre back partnership must bring back good memories for Arsenal fans...

Loads of blokey blokes in 6XXL football kit sitting slack jawed infront of TV screens is utterly stupid. Get real, England will NEVER be anything on the world stage of football as we're basically useless.

It doesn't matter who the manager is, eleven over paid prima donas will never play for their country as a team because it doesn't matter to them financially if they loose.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

Not strictly true...if they did win...they would earn a few more million on top of what they get. Just they don't have the talent, and suckers will pay to watch them regardless :)

Re: World Cup 2014
 

What's going on in the world cup? The under dogs are fighting back, I mead Ghana are 2-1 up against Germany.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

I have just watched a thrilling game between Germany and Ghana, and was thinking that if the England squad had enough bottle and guts. And played like Ghana.

Then we would not becoming home so early. And what made me really angry is that on Sky News Rooney, was saying that he was devastated at coming home early.

Well to me Hodgson, should be doing the decent thing by resigning.

Hodgson should have had the bottle to drop Rooney, and give someone else a chance

This is what makes England a laughing stock, and its so annoying that each week they play so well for their clubs, but play a stinker for there country - England you are a disgrace to English football

Re: World Cup 2014
 

No not really, I prefer my mick taking to be spontaneous and witty, send for the blue raja Russ, he was a wum of the highest quality.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

Apart from the fact that even though he was played out of position in the first game he laid the ball on a plate for Sturridge and had the highest successful pass completion, and scored the only goal in the second match and was rated the best player in that game in at least three reports I read. He wasn't brilliant but he was better than most of the others over the whole of the two games.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

First player I would have dropped is Gerrard, he was abysmal perhaps because his body is no longer capable of playing at the required level. Unfortunately for England there's nobody else!

Re: World Cup 2014
 

England don't need bottle and guts. They need better players.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

With less than a third of the premier league being English players, that must limit choice quite a bit.

Players in some of the african teams are so proud to play for their country and put everything in to the game, which see's them doing well sometimes despite the skill difference. If only the rich pampered england team played with as much heart.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

Shocking officiating again. Do FIFA have a secret quota of African teams that have to reach the knockout stages then because there was nothing wrong with Dzeko's goal

Re: World Cup 2014
 

Thats not true. Ditching Gerrard so late would have caused issues. Sadly for England Wilshere wasn't fit. And neither was Theo fit. As a DM England have little choice but to convert a CB.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

Ah right, I'd not seen your humour connoisseur gimmick before. How about this one then?

Re: World Cup 2014
 

So why is it Mr Wenger came out and declared Wilshere match fit for England.

http://www1.skysports.com/FIFA-World...it-for-england

Re: World Cup 2014
 

Personally, I would have Gerard playing for england for a few more years,..at least 4 more. And I would equally have him playing for liverpool for at least another 6 years.

It gives me so much pleasure seeing him play for the opposition

:D

Re: World Cup 2014
 

http://www.itv.com/news/london/story...jose-mourinho/

Even though l amnot a Chelsea fan, this is one appointment that l would agree one. Hodgson is totally useless at motivating a spoilt lot of players.

Its proved it with the sadness of going home early (l think l predicted this in an earlier comment - l said they wouldn't get out the group stage - as we are not good enough)

With Mourinho, you have a manager that is 'not' scared of the reputation of the player, and he is brilliant as a manager.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

wow Jose! That is something that will test those that say a national coach must be of the same nationality.

---------- Post added at 19:04 ---------- Previous post was at 19:01 ----------

he didn't say he's 100% fit.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

Therein lies the problem. Roy is not playing with a defensive midfielder. He's trying to deploy Gerrard as a "regista". Unfortunately, a regista he is not and neer will be: Gerrards passing range spans from abysmal to Hollywood with an alarming rate of randomness. To do that job you have to be consistent and have the decision making ability to choose the right pass 99% of the time. England have neither a defensive midfielder or regista type player.

The other problem in the way that England lined up is the gaping chasm behind Baines and Johnson when they attack. If you're going to play like that then you do need a defensive midfielder, a mobile one who can drop back to cover the full-back position as Mascherano used to do for Liverpool to great effect.

While Welbeck and Sterling do a reasonable job of defending in advanced positions, as wide men they are far too advanced to be of any defensive use in a transition of possession. In fact England line up more like a 4-2-1-3 than a 4-2-3-1 with and without the ball.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

Not watched every single minute yet but has anyone scored direct from a free kick yet?

Also noted that all/most of the European teams suffered a significant drop in performance from the first game to the second. England poor, Italy poor, Germany lucky to scrape a draw against Ghana, Holland struggled to see off Australia etc.

Re: World Cup 2014

---------- Post added at 21:05 ---------- Previous post was at 20:56 ----------

How do you define bottle & guts? What if England had the bottle and guts to go to the WC in the same fashion as these underdogs go and embrace it all. It always seems robot like. From the press conferences to play on the field. England do not enthrall us.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

You could say the same about Brazil and Argentina as well though. Its only really Chilie and France that have impressed in their second games so far.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

And Costa Rica and Algeria.;)

Re: World Cup 2014
 

I trust that Hodgson was watching the South Korea v Algeria game - this is how the udnerdogs play good class football.

Players probably on peanuts compared to the overrated, pampered stars of so called England a Brilliant game of football

Am l still angry, yes, l trust that the England stars wont have a break before the PL season starts, as l dont think they deserve it.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

No l cannot remember one yet iadom.

In my humble opinion l have always felt that a South American side will win the WC and nowt has changed that.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

England team vs Costa Rica...

that actually looks exciting lol

Re: World Cup 2014

I linked the classless to class. you felt it necessary to overshadow his career with this WC. either way your post was uncalled for but hey your entitled to say what you like. well done.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

This world cup will hardly overshadow his career, I'm just not going fawn all over him because of the player he used to be, same with Gerrard, he had no greater admirer than me but his time is up to.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

My comments have overshadowed his career, hardly likely and if Gerrard had moved to Chelsea or been a nomad like pirlo instead of remaining loyal he'd have won as much. You'll be comparing Danny welbeck with shearer next because he won more.

You showed a lack of respect. You're entitled to do that. End of story.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

My opionon is that England was that poor in this Torunament, l didn't bother watching the game tonight.

Its typical of The FA, they will stand by Hodgson. If that had happened in any other job he would be sacked.

I feel sorry for the thousands of fans that have spent a fortune to watch crap pure and simple.

I think that The FA should now order Hodgson to either quit or be sacked and bring in someone that will put the pride back into England. Totally disgraceful.

Where l work, even the pubs were not that busy.

I trust the clubs will now demand there players come back for pre season training as a punishment.

That what £6m (£3.5m per year) can do to keep someone in an job.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

Great dive there by Samaras

Re: World Cup 2014
 

I think the only reason, and I mean the only reason, Roy is not looking for a new job tonight is because of the compensation required to sack him. FA ran into financial trouble I think when they sacked McClaren and Capello.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

I did hear that Capello (aka Deryck Guyler in MB HQ) was on £6m per year.

Re: World Cup 2014
 

Roy got the team playing in a positive way when he first took over then it become the same old bore tactical static crap then a bit more of positive then back to static and todays nobody knows. Jose may of thrown his hat in the ring but more of a bore? Football is meant to entertain.

Fabio Capello is the highest paid International manager. Static.

Suarez has to recieve an all out ban. Liverpool could terminate his contract.
