Cajun Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Too late to look at the whole article so will just pick a point, he mentions the lack of English keepers in the Premier League. The champions have an English keeper. Scott Carson, Chris Kirkland, Paul Robinson and Rob Green have all played in the league in the last couple of years. If a keeper is that good I am sure he can displace those, let alone some of the weaker non-English keepers in this league and even the Championship. We took a keeper playing in league 2 and according to Wiki (I know) only played 12 games ahead of a young English keeper playing for the Scottish champions. If there were good young English keepers slipping through the big clubs or already playing in lower leagues I am sure they would work their way up to prominence.

ponsaelius Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 look at the one against Reading. He's not even looking at the ball. The Ashley's can only fucking dream. Still think the one in the 5-1 was the best. Side fucking netting. I watched the shootout against Partizan the other day, he's the only one who nailed his penno.

If he'd been in the squad tonight he would have stopped, swapped hats 10 times then sent Buffon the wrong way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I hope someone tells Balotelli that Shearer said he's won nowt, so he can pay him a visit and compare medals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cringeworthy comment that one. You can tell he realised after he said it anarl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Ameobi walks around lazily like he could careless, Balo takes half a year when he needs to hurry his finish. Both ignore pressure, penalties are made for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Probably Giggs since I can't be arsed to check all the backpages, but Pirlo's pen man... so Legend. In all honesty, Italy was by far the better side and deserved to go through. Writing's on the wall since that match-fixing scandal, though, they are going to win the whole thing.

juniatmoko Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Italy was far better side than England but they still aren't clinical yet & so many miss places pass also. I don't think they can survive Germany. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Don't think Italy were that great, they were just far better than that rubbish. It's a tragedy if Parker and Milner ever start for England again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 In the last 16 years only once has an England striker scored more than 2 goals in a tournament - Rooney, 04. Still think that's a dreadful stat when you consider that we've generally played 2 forwards with a strong midfield behind them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's effective in the Premier League but is completely obsolete at last night's level because of both the quality of the opposition and the tempo of the game.

I only think he's effective in the league up to a certain level anyway. Didn't pull up trees here, relegated bottom with West Ham, flounced at Chelsea. Fair enough he's been effective at Spurs but only because he does the dogwork for somebody like Modric alongside him. So limited its unreal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Think that's slightly harsh on Parker TBH. I don't love him as a player but the problem was that every time we won the ball back we gave it away within seconds. The whole team was at fault for that.
