The big worry for England u's that since the France game they've got slightly worse in each of the games.

 

Don't agree with that at all. In the France game we were terribly negative, but id a good defensive job on them. Sweeden we opened it up a bit more, in the first half there was only going to be one winner there, second half we conceeded a couple of extremely sloopy goals, but still found a way back into it, on the balance of the whole game we got the result we deserved. Against the Ukraine, we set out to play the host, which is effectively an away game for us a ceertain way, again negative but understandable. I saw enough of the relative potency in attack of both nations to be pretty confident in the thought that had we needed a win we would have approached it differently and we would have comfortably gotten it. England performance against Ukraine was no better or worse than Spain versus Croatia.

Its funny, in Australia its a disgrace if you dont support the country of your parents birth. All the Australian bred Italians and Porto's are massive fans of those countries even if they have never been there in their life. A portuguese girl I know the other day was schocked and apalled that I wasnt supporting England, so I had to explain to her, Im Australian so i support Australia and Newcastle. Therfore Im going for France coz i have a massive man crush on both Ben Arfa and Cabaye.

 

Yeah, I was born in Sydney, Mum in Melbourne but Dad in Clapton. I support both the Aussies and England, but as I mainly grew up in England it's them I support the most. Always want the Poms to beat the Aussies in the cricket, but always used to support the Aussies in Rugby for some reason.

 

I have supported some right cunts who played for Spurs, shitehawks like Van Den Hauwe, Justin Edinburgh, Jason Dozzell. It didn't matter, because they were Spurs, so I had to suck it up. Likewise with England. I didn't choose England, much as I didn't choose Spurs, and I will still be English when utter pricks like Terry and Ashley Young will be long gone. I definitely feel less engaged with England than I have done, but in my case that's more (a) because I live in the US now and (b) a general disillusionment with football. Partly brought on by Chelsea winning the fucking Champions League, if I'm honest.

Wasn't even taken into consideration after Lampard's shot was 1 metre over the goal line in 2010.

After my earlier comment I Google it and found the following:

The video is from last year and so to be fair to him it looks like he has been pro goal line technology for a while.

 

Looks like its Platini we should be blaming.

Think we need to play to our strengths, keep things tight, hit people on the break, and rely on set pieces. Carrol is a must for me, with rooney, wallcott and Ox (or young, but tbh Youngs been fucking dire)

 

Gerrard and Parker hold the fort, and the same back 4 we've played all tournament.

England have done way better than I thought they would, but boy are they a crap side and you do fear for them against even a half competent side. They've been largely outplayed in most of the games for example. Beat Italy and the semis is a good outcome for this team. Anything else should be a bonus. In fact I think just getting this far is success sort of.

What utter shite. Are you sure you haven't been watching a World Cup 2010 dvd?
