thank god england are out i have nothing against the football team or supporters but why do they think they are capable of winning the world cup they are a long long way off the quality neede to win such a tournament, what makes them think they can win such a tournament when they cant beat the likes of sweden and struggle against trinidad and ecuador... they do not have players anywhere near the class of whch is needed to win any major trophy
here's the thing, england have a great team, far better than auspol (germany) the manager just did not motivate them enough he even had players to do it,
we need a good british manager, it's not like we've got something to look forward to with mclaren tho, he's just as bad, i say martin o'neill myslef
England has a great team just for the english people... only there they can believe it... sorry but it's like this... beckam is finished, rooney is stupid, lampard can only score in the uk... the only british player who's good (but far away from having the class of a zidane or a ronaldo for istance) is gerrard... the rest of the team is so so, the only people in the world who can appreciate english football at the moment are the english, because are mostly concerned with their various championships and rarely go out and see what goes on around the world... if they were more informed about it and less campanilistic, maybe they would be a bit more objective and perhaps a little less arrogant...
This is the best post i have read on these boards..In england,they love to name-drop..The premiership is being constantly raped by foreign players who make it exciting for the english..Lampard eg does well when recieving passes from foreign players..It really is so simple..The premiership is lucrative so all the best players want to play there..Saying all the 'nice' things about the quality of football etc..Lower the wage structure and the balance will quickly change..I have no doubt that most of the foreign players in enland often return home to 'keep their football sharp'..
[reply]wot are you scotish! we need some one english i agree with the bit about sven or shall i say MR BURNS! THE ENGLAND TEAM DID US PROUD AS USUAL![/reply]
Yea I supported England (since I live in it!). But I honestly did not think they worked as a team... same as Brazil this year... there didn't seam to be communication between the players... like each one is playing on his own almost... the England INDIVIDUAL players are not bad... (some need replacing tho! DESPERATELY!!) but their weakness is:
1. lack of speed (totally need to run faster than that! look at how fast the italians can run!) 2. motivation (they looked like they wanted it sooo bad in interviews but not as much on the field) 3. team work (they seemed to act as individuals and not really as a team! there was no PLAN to their way of playing)
They totally need to run faster than that.. only Gerard (sorry for wrong spelling) could run and respond quickly... I felt like Rooney was good when he GOT the ball... but SO SLOW at running... he couldnt' catch up with the other players most of the time! I honestly found that frustrating... Beckam... he's alright... not as big of a deal as they make out of him... i think it's the fact that he's a celeb as well. Michael Owen said after the world cup that each player does well on HIS OWN but together we didn't bring our strengths as one, it was like having different pieces of a jigsaw but not being able to place these bits together... I truely felt those three points I made were their weaknesses. HOWEVER!! YES! England team does need 2 more exceptional players to SERIOUSLY win the world cup, I think if they could get 2 people like Gerard then they will be in a much better position.
