Foluwashola Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 England striker Wayne Rooney: "Last night, on reflection I said things in the heat of the moment that came out of frustration of both our performance and the result. For my part I apologise for any offence caused by my actions at the end of the game." He doesn't know these words. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Back to last night, i dunno how Rooney had the nerve to make that comment. It was a spineless, humiliating and pathetic performance. You wait 4 years for this to come around and then can't even be bothered to beat Algeria. They looked like they were in a trance and needed snapping out of it. Whether it was nerves, lack of confidence or just general shitness, that performance was completely undefendable. They're gonna get crucified but they deserve everything they get. Rooney is blatantly getting sent off and will receive Beckham-like hate, though. If they go out on Wednesday (which I doubt), then the next manager will have to blood together a 'new generation England'. The problem being that they're nowhere near international quality yet. So it could be a barren few (more) years for England. Still beat Slovenia though EDIT: Apology isnt good enough. The twat! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm concerned he can say what he likes, the apology should have come for the blatant disrespect for the shirt and team mates. His whole attitude stunk for the majority of the game.

The identity of the next manager isn't the important factor though, and I fear it won't matter who it is: we need to catch up and change our culture of how football is taught and developed. Regarding the game, I don't want to go into too much detail because I guess everything has already been said. Just an embarrassment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I'd give Rooney 45 minutes up front on his own to redeem himself against Slovenia. If we look like the same team as Friday, then I'd haul him off at half time and play Defoe/Crouch for as long as we remain in the tournament. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I think far to many people think its a deeper issue than it is. There is a reason we are in the top 10 in the world. Something obviously has changed now theyre in the world cup. It isnt due to them not knowing the basics of football atall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive looked at 100s of photos today from last nights game and it is very obvious to me the players are too intense. This is Capellos doing with his strict regime, They need to let go. Capellos strength of discipline, autonomy and regidity is proving to be the teams weakness as it is not allowing our flair players to flourish. Capello needs to let go of the reins for Wednesday and listen to the thoughts of Rooney and Gerrard our most influential players about how to get the best out of our attack. Not one player looked like they were enjoying it last night, not one, at any point in the game! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Think the Aussies would take a draw, although the commentators seem to think its a must win for them All we (Australia) need to do now is beat a decent Serbia side, and hope an ordinary Ghana can beat a wounded Germany. So it really was a must win for us... That said, swap Kewell for Cahill and Moore for Beauchamp and we're improved already. Then if Pim can bear to drop his colossally shite golden boy (Holman) for Kennedy then we've got a chance of doing our part. What a frustrating match that was! I really didn't think Ghana offered much until the (110% correct) red card, and then we were up against it. There were some positives - Wilkshire was our best player again, and Bresciano was SO much better than Richard fucking Garcia was in the first game.

Ketsbaia Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Zonal Marking (http://www.zonalmarking.net/2010/06/19/england-0-0-algeria-tactics/) making a case for playing Carrick. Disappointingly, Capello had a warning about this three months ago. England’s friendly against Egypt at Wembley saw them playing a North African side that used a 3-4-2-1 formation. They had less possession of the ball and were deservedly 0-1 down at half-time, when Michael Carrick came on and was by far the best player on the pitch. He transformed the game, resulting in a 3-1 England win – he would have been perfect tonight. The case for Carrick’s inclusion has been argued on this site before and doesn’t need to be repeated, but some quotes from Xabi Alonso this week made for interesting reading: “John Terry, Stevie Gerrard and Wayne Rooney are the obvious names when you think of the important players for England…if they are on top of their game and if Carrick plays, because for me he is a top player, then England will have a chance. If Carrick plays for the national team the way that he does for Manchester United, then it would be very good news for England. I think that he could easily fit in the Spanish system because I really like the way he plays. He reads the game so well, he is always ahead of what is going to happen and he is always in the right position. When he gets the ball, he plays it easy and he is available to his team-mates all the time. For me, he has the profile to play for Barcelona or any of the Spanish teams. He would also be very complimentary to Stevie.” England plainly can’t even vaguely control a game with two central midfielders – so there’s a need for a third, and that third man is Carrick. He is alarmingly off-form at club level, but should that matter if the player is being brought in to play a specific role in the side to bring the best out of others? Capello clearly doesn’t think so, considering Heskey’s place in the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
