England vs Croatia

[Numeric]

looks like McLaren is dropping Becks and Robinson for this game tonight...

i'll be watchin but i honestly don't care what happens, in fact i kind of want Croatia to win :laughing:

[Esox Lucius]

come on the croats, and spain too :cool:

[french_og]

If you are English and don't support England then you truly are pathetic people.. (not you Esox as know you have Irish blood!!)

Come on England!!!!

[Numeric]

the whole England international entity is what's pathetic...

[Esox Lucius]

in all honesty im not a massive fan of international football, find it boring. rather watch clubs.

[djfase]

I hope im wrong, but i think we will fuk it up again.

Its been a rollercoaster

[Esox Lucius]

they will scrape through i reckon, dont think they have lost a game when crouch has started and scored so if the lanky one gets an early goal you never know.

[Numeric]

Croatia don't need the result either...

[koma]

Croatia don't need the result either...

yes we do. what could be nicer than winning on Wembley? :;

expect 6 - 8 thousand very loud Croats there tonight :cool:

[basslinejunkie]

the whole England international entity is what's pathetic...

for once we agree

[Numeric]

yes we do. what could be nicer than winning on Wembley? :;


fair point sir

[Numeric]

apparently Robinson isn't even on the bench...

[Esox Lucius]

i've got a croatia football top, could go the pub tonight wearing it :cheese::cheese:

reminds me of the world cup in 2002, I walked into a packed pub of england fans in in my ireland top when an england game was on. got some funny looks haha

[xes]

oh well,that's f*cked it.

We didn't deserve anything either. First half,we were laughably shit. Croatia played well,strong and steady.

The one good thing that can come out of this,is that hopefully that'll be McCuntfaces last game in charge.

[Aratron]

ouch what a horrible game to watch.

just not good enough football team.

[dan the acid man]

absolutley dire, we didn't deserve to get through, especially on tonights performance.

Oh well, it will make a nice change to watch a tournament without being bombarded by the media stating how we're gonna win it

[Richierush]

glad i went the pictures to watch saw 4,knew that was gonna happen bunch of shit bags mac out :grr:

[Esox Lucius]

HRVATSKA !!

england were awful, they deserved to get beat, well done croatia, my new heroes :cool:

[Numeric]

was an entertaining game i thought, gutted for Carson...

Croatia were just simply better...

[Esox Lucius]

how class were the croatia fans? loud as f*ck! proper fans :cool:

[RDR]

What a complete joke.

[BloodStar]

big surprise for me. didnt see the game, but all people I was speaking with told me, England played rubbish. fair play, then.

[koma]

why suprised? we won the first game in Zagreb too, 2:0.

when england team arrived here, they were held as stars, now when our boys came to london nobody was expecting them on the airport, our FA chief was taken to custody as a shoplifter, someone from the press wrote none of our boys could play in english team (LOL) and all in all the UK media was pretty arrogant from what i've heard.

well, there just wasnt better way to get motivated and shut those mouths. if joe simunic didnt cause that silly penal, it would probably end with 3:0 or more...

u boj, u boj, za narod svoj! ;)

[Numeric]

it was a soft pen...

[BloodStar]

why suprised? we won the first game in Zagreb too, 2:0. .......

Hmmm, no disrespect to Croatian team which was solid thru whole quali, but I was just expecting bit more from England team. Really, I wouldnt expect they will loose 2:3 at home and will not make it to Euro.

[LittleMinx]

piss poor performance......

[french_og]

Piss poor performance and rubbish seletions, tatics and formation from a manager which should never of been given the job in the first place.. We were lucky to even get back into the game soft penalty. Crouch is the only player who played well and maybe Beckham when he came on. That siad we were missing our entire best back 4 through injury and Owen and Rooney but we lost it over the 12 games and really it was the 0-0 draw at Macadonia that done us.

Never mind - a stress free summer next year..

[Esox Lucius]

and no part time patriots with their tacky flags stuck to cars and ingerland flags hanging out their bedroom window.

aye that shit does my head in

[SlavikSvensk]

croatia is a quality side. not easy for anyone. still...england underachieved under mclaren.

[nick_anarchy]

we didnt dersrve to win the group or even get in to the euro's

ginger balls ****ed up big time !! he should of never played lampard !! the lads shit for england he did **** all all game him and gerrard dont team up togeather well at all and its been noticed for years !! also it was the worst game iv seen gerrard play he was shockin !! i expected better from his passing but he just tryed to run round like a headless chicken from time to time , barry was utter shit why i dont know he didnt pick hargreevs in the middle and beckham out wide from the start i dont know ! lampard aint fit enough to clean darren bents boots !! crouch played out his skin fair play to the lad he give it his all worked the line on his own and did his job but no one was there to support him for the knockdowns why pick carson in goal !! what went on in his head i dont know but that bloke should be shot for the way he has treated english football

[french_og]

The problem with Gerrard and Lampard they can only play Premiership football, high tempo kamakaze style. They both could need to go to Italy or Spain and learn how to play a slower more technical style game as that is closer to what International football is about. All Gerrard wanted to do the other night was lump the ball long, you just can do that at International level.

[Microdot]

on recent performances alone, the man to drop would have been gerrard. but McClaren didn't have the balls to do it. ultimately the biggest error was building a team around a very average striker. crouch had a decent game, was prolly one of england's best players on the day. but we should have started with 4-4-2. dropped either gerrard or lampard and had bent and defoe up front.

the uk press is still in meltdown trying to think of which Man Utd player we can all blame for england's failure.

oh well, at least we'll have more players resting through the summer than anyone else in the top 4.

[Eddowion]

If it is ok to sack Mclaren for picking the wrong team, shouldn't Brian Barwick be sacked for picking Mclaren?

[Will]

Who'd sack him though? Wouldn't he have to resign?

He won't resign cos he won't get his backhander, perhaps we need a military coup or a revolution:lol:
