football: the beautiful game

[ROYALEFATALE]

maybe we can ruffle rooney's feathers and get him tossed, going to be a tough match for sure, also looking for korea to pull one out tommorow morning, definitely going to be an uphill battle against the greeks

[Magsåvningsreserven]

I have a strong feeling America are going to win, because that's such a typical thing to happen to England.

soccer v football and all that.

[Mr Waffles]

i hope england takes a shit on the u.s. tomorrow.

a big oily shit.

[cyberPUNK]

^ 89,000,000 gallons worth.

prediction,

2-1 for england.

john terry mistake to blame for the u.s. goal. rooney to score one with his head.

[polishmike]

insane prediction, 2-1 for US and at least one penalty. (nah can't be, ingurland will win)

[fatchino]

The US isn't confident?

The English 'papers' certainly are ...

They're a witty bunch.

[Magsåvningsreserven]

Heinze swimming in space, wow.

[Magsåvningsreserven]

[chantheman]

[Mr Waffles]

turning into quite a match here.

[Magsåvningsreserven]

pathetic

smh

[JohannesDeSilentio]

that was utterly abject. my first free evening in six weeks, what a waste.

[cyberPUNK]

typical fucking england. fucking green, you butterfinger son of a bitch.

[riotC]

what a match ....

disappointing performance from england ..

[Magsåvningsreserven]

the problem with not beating USA is that they could easily beat slovenia and algeria and top the group if we don't now take advantage.

i just hope the guys who underperformed pull up their socks.

also noticed players like swp and lennon being overly cautious, I can only recall one moment where aaron used his pace and got a cross in, as we expect from a pacy winger..

[JohannesDeSilentio]

oh come on, Green was actually pretty decent, bar one howler. Save your wrath for Lampard, a total creative vacuum in midfield, or Carragher, who didn't direct a single pass forward, even in injury time, or Gerrard, who made one good run to score early on and then charged about with total abandon from then on. When Emile Heskey is not only your best player, but also makes you look good (the drop in quality after his substitution was remarkable) then you're a team with deep fundamental problems. That was an abysmal match, representing everything about our national team which fills me with shame.

[cyberPUNK]

the wingers did seem a bit muted. thought johnson did a better job of getting crosses in than lennon to be honest.

[Magsåvningsreserven]

exactly, johnson was doing a far better job, even gerrard came out and delivered a nice cross

[Guest I LOVE LFC]

Shite like usual.

Again Steven Gerrard the best player on the pitch, let down by the rest of the shite.

I don't get how Green gets picked, all he's done all season is pick the ball out of the net for West Ham? Fuckin does my head in. Capello's not daft, why is he picking him? Yea James has got a knee injury, I would have gone for Hart over Green any day of the week.

And as for Rooney, one of the best strikers in the world, leave it out.....

Prove me wrong Wayne you judas twat.

[iamstarwars]

At least the game was entertaining...

[JohannesDeSilentio]

I dunno, I though Lennon and Johnson worked well on the right, and Lennon's pace was utilised effectively on several occasions. It's not their fault that England were collectively seduced by some deep national instinct to repeatedly hoof it upfield. The job Heskey did of making anything out of some of those balls was pretty impressive, considering his lack of match sharpness. Rooney emerged towards the end, but should have had a field day against that defence. The whole occasion was totally fucking mundane.
