England v Italy match thread

[Kenneth]

in Euro 96 and even the last WC i was gutted we went out but this time i couldn't give a ****. **** off Woy LOL

Depends where I'm watching an who with. The last world cup I was in Amsterdam, pissed stoned and slightly tripping with my 3 best mates and I was definitely riding the emotional rollercoaster. This time I was at home with the Mrs and felt nothing really. Maybe if we'd have deserved more, or been ****ed over by a ref or something I'd have been more bothered, but no, nothing really.

Well Gerrard had a good tournament, set up all England's goals. Carroll scored the header of the tournament and Johnson saved England from getting beaten by Sweden. Well done LFC, our players did ok. Shame for the Man Utd / Chelsea players, they were ****e!

Pretty much, although I think Terry was good overall.

[fah-q]

At least John Terry will still get to lift the trophy though.

Wayne Rooney is a millstone around the neck of England. Cunt needs dropping. He's been **** for England since 2004.

He should have been hooked instead of Welbeck. Terrible performance

[fah-q]

The united players were mostly **** all tournament.

Just shows you how the old drunkard is holding that team together. When he ****s off they'll be sunk.

So according to Woy, it would have been preferable for Italy to have scored and won it in normal time.

Watching the news. David Bond is a cunt.

[Leyton388]

Oh well at least the Polish sex trade have done well with Rooney and Terry in town.

BBC:
Roy Hodgson is now facing the English press. Expect him to come under some fire, but I don't think you can be overly critical of that display. Or can you?

Strictly no, you cannot be overly critical because it was so dire any criticism you give is deserved.

England are a decent quarter final team. They always get there and get knocked out then. They'll win eff all with that manager.

England are a quarter final team, they get through the group stages by beating the teams you expect them to, but go out as soon as they come up against a decent side.

When was the last time in a major tournament that England beat a team in the knock out stages that you didn't expect them to?

[Exiled_red]

Johnson for me.

[Buzzo]

Jon texts: "Worried we might lose possession during the pens."

Spain 96?

I have to say I think roys tactics are perfect for tournament football. Its not pretty but its effective.

He defends with the low block and they try and counter quickly. technically we dont have the.players to compete with spain and germany so you play to your strengths. Defend deep and play counter attack because counter attacking really only requires you to have two or three technically good footballers.

Simply one to pick the right pass to start the counter another to run with the ball and pick the right pass into the final third. england only have two decent attacking players in gerrard and rooney.

He should have gone 4411 and player parker wih hendo and gerrard off rooney. Gerrard could then have sat on pirlo and stopped him making england look like a bunch of idiots.
