B-more Mag Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Why do they keep talking about hot and humid? It's in the 80s and 70 some odd percent humidity. Er... Not that bad, frankly. Might want to see the normal conditions in England, particularly during the football season. I get it. Ian Darke was going on like he was drowning in boiling water, though.

Hanshithispantz Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Best performance in defeat we have had in ages....bit more cutting edge from strikers, bit more desire to get on the end of things and who knows. Positives for me. After the disgrace of 4 years ago this is a million miles from that. Its all about the next Euros and 2018. Yep. The old guard of Gerrard etc. weren't good enough in their prime but they're doing a nurturing job and like you say 2016 onwards should be even better. If this squad is being thrown together for 2016/2018 in mind then Gerrard shouldn't be in the squad. You would run the risk of ruining the young uns without an experienced nucleus guiding them. It's why Lampard is there. And it's why Ashley Cole should've been there. In hindsight Ashley Cole probably should have started On a serious note that Candreva was quality, who the fuck is he?

chicago_shearer Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 On paper, England's style today should cause Uruguay's slow, old back line lots of problems. In practice, they'll fluff a few good chances and definitely let Suarez score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 They won't beat Uruguay and judging by their performance today, Costa Rica will be a tough task. Tonight was their chance and they didn't step up to the plate. Good but not good enough - should be England's motto Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realyl looking forward to it already, before these two games I'd say 0-0 looked the most certain result. But this english side look the part up front and Uruguay will have tyo attack.

Guest TruToon94 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Rooney is s****, always has been always will be and he needs dropping. Now. He will literally keep us out of the group stages with his shitness. He will only get worse as well. Worst player by a country mile. Gerrard, Johnson and Hart were p*ss as well. Such a shame when Sterling is the sole player we should build the squad around. Truly great. EDIT: That corner as well man, FFS Rooney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 England would be a far more effective side without Rooney, who has on more than one occasion been shoehorned into positions better suited to other, arguably more exciting, players. He's not a centre forward, he's not a winger, he's not really an attacking central midfielder either when playing for England. With players like Barkley, Lallana, Sterling and Sturridge, Rooney ought no longer to be the fulcrum of an England side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Really wouldn't drop Rooney, like. We need more goalscoring instinct through the middle and Sturridge & Rooney offer that better than anyone else in the squad, by a country mile. There's plenty of creativity, elsewhere, we just need to get the balance right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
