Can I be the first to say, thank christ we're through and France/Australia aren't, wankers.

You're the one mixing up hard work with confidence to work the ball. In fact they're actually doing neither uptill now. Hope it changes tomorrow like. Well no, you're accusing individuals who've achieved success primarily because of a lot of hard work of being 'millionaire playboys' because it's easier than looking at tactics and positioning. You're just a resentful little man.

Nobody is saying that they are performing well.

Millionaire playboys who have both been described as the hardest workers at their clubs. This nonsense is becoming boring now.

Very easily done according to my lass.

Mccarthy's tactics worked though, they beat Burnley a few days later. Besides, just about the same Wolves team beat West Ham 3-1 at Upton Park.

Having promise and not living up to it is worse than not having it in the first place. Rooney's been utter cr*p thus far, even allowing for the poor service. Your point being?

Hilarious innit? I know he was only a patch on Lampard's performances though. It is, Hargreaves was praised to high heaven after that tournament.

You lot are pathetic at times.

Who are the half a dozen?

Put him face to face with someone who isn't wearing a gold cross and an alice band and we'd see what he actually is, a massive coward.

Not quite, Danielle De Rossi deserves that accolade.

The above happened in the final 5 minutes of the Algeria game when Defoe and Crouch were on the pitch, positive positions. Capello has nobody else to blame but himself for picking the wrong players.

Unsung.

Tend to agree with HTT.

Great, let's drop Rooney for Crouch then while we're at it.

We wouldn't as he was still in his self imposed exile then. He'd have never retired if not for the likes of Terry keeping him out of the team.

Carrick ahead of Lampard, says it all about you, really does.

Thank christ we have John Terry. Otherwise we'd have probably given Carragher a starting role in the qualifiers, and we wouldn't have even made it to South Africa.

Not sure why you've quoted that post. Lampard wasn't our penalty taker in 2004. Barry Lennon Lampard Gerrard Cole Rooney

How many weren't pens? Why would they be pens?

He plays for Chelsea, the team is absolutely full of stars. Gerrard, fair point.

Typical elitist rubbish. He's bought very well with very limited funds.

can you quantify that Dave? Do you mean statistically? I can't be bothered to look it up to be perfectly honest, I just feel far more let down by Gerrard over the years considering what he has done for Liverpool in the same timeframe. Gerrard was worldclass against Germany 5-1. Apart from that neither Gerrard & Lampard have really done anything of note for me. Short memory. Lampard was easily the driving force behind WC 06 qualification. Not to mention his excellent performances in Euro 04. and when the major tournament games came around? Read it again, Shakespeare.
