Think there's something very, very wrong mentally with the players. I'd say part of it is all the money they earn. It's made them live in their own little bubble where the sun shines out of their arses all the time and think they're untouchable.

 

...is correct.

 

Not really since that applies to most footballers.

[Geordie Boot Boy]

That was awful. I genuinely don't think Germany looked particularly good either. We made them look better than they are. All four goals were a shambles really.

 

I really wish we had some good players in reserve to play up front so that we could drop Rooney. The way he stopped playing at the end was canny disgraceful. He reminded me of Gazza in his younger days but not anymore, IIRC Gazza gave everything when he was on the pitch, even in the big games.

Apisith is right though, that dissallowed goal completely changed the complexion of the game in the second half. No matter how shite England are you can't deny that fact.

 

Only because they apparently never got over it.

 

Nah, I think we made a good start to the second half and looked to have the bit between our teeth. Had the goal stood, we wouldn't have been hit twice on the counter attack while recklessly in search of an equaliser (see Terry in their box).

 

Meh, Howay Jonas and the Argies.

Agreed. The Germans were the better team but they would have never scored two goals like they if you guys hadn't pushed up so much. They probably would have scored because they were playing well, but nonetheless, if the second half starts at 2-2 it's a whole different match.

 

Yeah, but there was no way we were going much further in this competition. I pretty much accepted that when their second goal came in. In a way, the way they played in the group games set the tone, did they really believe they could saunter to the final? Only Cole and Gerrard of the outfield players looked any good first half and even they looked garbage in the second half.

I agree but on the other hand, the way England pushed up for that free kick at 2-1 was suicidal and stupid. We had them under the cosh at that point and I could definitely see us getting an equaliser (might have needed half a dozen before one counted though).

[David28]

I absolutely can't beliefe how fucking shit the standard of the referees is at this world cup 

 

How can't the linesman see that?? It was clearly, absolutely clearly behind the line.

 

That goal would have changed the game completely. Doesn't matter that Germany were the better team - if it's 2 - 2 at half time, it's a different game.

[Wullie]

Ozil must be player of the tournament so far. What a player.

 

Like Suarez of Uraquay, I thought he was just lucky so far. But in the end they are still doing it at this stage while our millionaire players look dog turd.

 

No way, his goal against Ghana was class and his performances against us and the Aussies have been the main factor in ripping two teams apart. He must have about 5 assists so far.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Oh shit, its started already.

[Skeletor]

Mind you no-ones laughing at that psychic octopus any more.

[Taylor Swift]

Ozil has been fucking awesome so far.

[FrenchWilliam]

People on here going on about the money players are on, have a fucking word. It's the same for half the Brazil, germany, spain and argentina teams, but they don't seem to be bottling it.

Same for Italy and French players too.

[Beren]

Thought Muller was their star player personally with Ozil a close second.

 

Muller's off the ball movement was superb. He carved England open time after time down the right (albeit in the absence of an English left midfielder).

Müller was man of the match for me as well.

 

Still can't beliefe that the 2-2 wasn't given btw.

Says FRENCH William 

[Incognito]

Schweinsteiger was the catalyst imo,never gave away the ball all game.The only fortunate thing you can level at the Germans,except for the goal that wasn't,is Ballack getting injured has brought in Khedira,who looks a superb player.

tbf, I think the likes of Gerrard, Lampard, Terry, Barry and Rooney are going to be pocketing a hell of a lot more than the other players from Europe.

[Guest Heneage]

Even Redknapp saying they couldn't give more. Massive delusions.

 

Capello needs an overhaul of his squad and arguably his contract in all honesty. Pay him £6m, but make the £6m incentive heavy. Right now he gets £6m just for turning up.

 

As for the squad;

 

1.) If you state you pick on form, actually do it. Pick the 23 best players, base it solely on the performances in the league, not 'What they can do' base it on 'What they have done'. A prime example is SWP for Adam Johnson, the former was restricted to from the bench appearances, and even then he lacked the direct nature, and mazy dribbles and long shots that elevated him to the £21m fee Chelsea paid for. Compare him with Jonhson, who attacked his fullback be it top of the league or relegation fodder. He looked comfortable on either flank but better on the difficult left wing, for whom you have tried right footed SWP and Aaron Lennon.

 

Heskey and Bent is the other obvious inclusion, how you can honestly judge a striker based on the minutes he received against Brazil in a practice match is beyond me. It is almost like you purposefully chose to play him then to make him look bad, thus justifying your choice.

 

2.) Always look to evolve your formation, and adapt it to play against your opponent. Unless you are beating every team you face 3-0 with great ease, your formation must be willing to change, as sometimes a formation plays into your opponents hands as it did today. Your rigid nature was admirable at first, but it hit the point where it was just stubborn and stupid. Ironically, you may have just witnessed the perfect system in Germany's 4-2-3-1. For the next 2012 Euro's;

 

                                Hart

Johnson      Cahill        Ferdinand      Cole

 

                    Rodwell      Parker

 

Lennon                  Gerrard              Johnson

 

                              Rooney

 

The two sitting midfielders, allow for the lack of pace and provide you cover from the break, they are to sit and play passes to the 3 in front. In many ways it works like a 4-4-2 with Gerrard expected to surge ahead, and move along the width of the pitch, supporting attacks, picking up the ball, making him difficult to mark. Rooney as the spear head is almost the complete forward, as he just can't play with a partner next to him, he is employed purely as a striker, not a Forward, or a No10.

 

Just a thought Fabio.

[Guest Lazlo]

At least andy Murray is still playing well at Wimbledon eh !

Although he hates the English.

 

USA finishing above is is the embarrssment.

We all saw this coming right ?
