nufc4eva Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 What a boring fucking game. France need someone in the box tbh, Benzema and the rest play to much in front of the defence. England were just boring and functional nothing else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Spanish commentators mentioning NUFC What did they say ? When Cabaye was subbed off and Ben Arfa came on, they talked about how they both played for Newcastle and the great season you just had, and how both were instrumental to it - particularly Ben Arfa after coming into the team.

Disco Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Lucky! Bollocks! What did the French keeper do apart from pick ball put of the net? How does that constitute luck? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrSundlofer Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Must say it was a very boring game. Disappointed with both teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 a good result for England, not a good performance mind, seemed a bank of 8 at times rather than 2 banks of 4 and Welbeck didn't offer much in holding up the ball I totally disagree on every point you've made there. Same, especially on Welbeck. Thought he did a very good job on his own, he's much more suited to it than Carroll and definitely Defoe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hart 7- Couple of smart saves. Couldn't blame him for goal. Johnson- 6- So uninspiring but coped ok. Cole- 7- Strong outlet Terry- 6- Rarely troubled Lescott- 7- Good header Milner- 3- Awful, just offers nothing at all. Parker- 7- Threw himself about a lot. Gerrard- 6- Great delivery for the goal, otherwise iffy. Oxlade Chamberlain- 4- looked completely over awed. Young- 4- faded after a bright start. Welbeck-5- fed on scraps Henderson-3- Jesus wept. Defoe- 6- looked bright Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Lucky! Bollocks! What did the French keeper do apart from pick ball put of the net? I agree we didn't threaten much but we did defend well, no luck about it. When England have to get a result we won't playing anything like that. What does that have to do with this luck we apparently had today? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Beckham would still be usefull for this squad btw. Especially when you consider the poor Gerrard-corners. Give over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 France out-Spainied Spain, incidentally. So much domination, so useless. That was my first comment after the match ended. All possession, no penetration. Dunno why everyone played in the same position for them. Nasri, Benzema, Ribery, Cabaye and Malouda were basically all on top of each other. In many instances Cabaye was the one furthest forward. England sat back a lot, but I just thought the France shape was a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
