Neil Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Generally interested to see if there's actually that much interest in these 2 games, especially the Ukraine one. IMO, a win against Ukraine and we're pretty much there in Saaf Africa. Also, felt sorry for Capello in that interview today. Almost pleading with the reporters to talk about the 2 matches as opposed to constantly going on about Rooney, Gerrard and Beckham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Couldn't care about either. The only plus point of England playing is that we won't get beat this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Enjoy watching England again since the start of this qualification campaign. Probably a consequence of many factors like England actually winning games and scoring some goals and Newcastle being what it is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mucky01 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 it’s all about how many caps Beckham gets it seems. all silly really when you realise how many have been given out recently (Sven main culprit), Rooneys on 47 caps already and he’s only 23!

C. Ronaldo has 64 caps already, England haven't played any more games than any other international team, I don't see what the problem is? The fact that Capello dropped Beckham kinda makes your first argument redundant as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Interest in England has wained massively, but Capello's renewed a little bit of it, because we actually look like a side that's difficult to beat. But i can't say i'll have much affiliation for England whilst deplorable cretins like Cole, Ferdinand, Terry, Gerrard, Lampard, SWP, Rooney remain our figureheads.

Pilko Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 What time does the Saturday game kick off? I'm going to Whitley's cup tie and might not make it back unless it's after 5.30. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
womblemaster Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 england still dont play attactive football, but we are rarely beaten, only world class sides can beat us atmo. SHould qualify, but then we will fall flat as per normal. Nonone gonna beat spain anyway so its all academic.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Capello dropped Beckham kinda makes your first argument redundant as well. Jeeeezzz, what I was referring to was that all the media is obsessed with is Beckhams caps record, yet this is pointless as the 50 year old record is going to be smashed soon because of the massive amount of substitutes used these days, in comparison to Bobby Moore's day when there weren’t any subs.

Novocastrian Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Got a ticket for the Ukraine game, just enough time to get to Wembley after I finish work and then hope to get home before midnight after the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Had to sell my ticket for Saturday due to SKY being wankers and fucking up what would have been a cracking weekend. Will be there on Wednesday though, looking forward to it. As Neil said, win this and we're pretty much in SA next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s Capello/Ronaldo got to do with anything? You're not making any sense. It's got nothing to do with subs. Rooney's got 47 caps because he's England's best forward and has been for a good few years now. Beckham's got so many because he was a world class player for a good 10 years, and even now can still do a bit part job. Ronaldo's got so many for Portugal already because he's been one of the world's best players for a few years now. Messi's only 21 and already got 34 caps for Argentina for the same reason.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Maybe it's a cultural thing, but I am always amazed at the amount of English people who don't care about their national team. I can't even imagine not caring about my country. It's the same with pretty much everyone I know. I mean even the old ladies in my family are very interested during the major tournaments. I mean is it just an English thing, or do the Irish and Welsh (I woudn't blame them tbh ) have the same mentality as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
