They're worse than the air horns at the Grand Final

Honestly right Emile Heskey is a right Donkey, He must have dodgy photos of Capello

Johnson sounded non too clever when giving away the penalty and Rooney is getting wound up and has been yellow carded.

It was a joke of a decision to give them a penalty and justice was done

Is there a thread for the lasses of the world cup on here?

Had a few quid on Di Natale, Italy striker for the golden boot. Scored 29 goals last term for Udinese and got group games vrs NZ, Slovakia and Paraguay I think.

rooneys gonna win golden boot

*ss*

Nani ruled out now

Shame, I really fancied him to do well. Disappointing to see so many top players missing out through injury.

Robben is out of Holland's first group game. Gareth Barry has returned to full training today.

Oh say can you see...

England expects.



There are no more excuses. We have the manager, the calibre of players, the preperation.



It's time to deliver.



If we don't make the final it will be a major dissapointment, and for alot of the ''golden generation'' it will be their last chance, and they will be forever remembered as underachievers on the big stage.

I don't actually think it's a bad shout. My money is on Gilardino and RVP though.

I don't mean to rub the whole 'I can't wait to see us fail' stuff in, but you can't expect at least second when there are a few sides better than us. Football isn't played on paper.



David Villa to waltz the top scorer by at least two clear goals ahead of everyone else. Higuain a close second.

Luis Fabiano will likely be top goalscorer having got 5 goals start from Brazil's first game.



Oh, and this is why England won't win the World Cup. [urlhttp://voices.washingtonpost.com/soccerinsider/2010/06/video_spains_second_goal_vs_po.html[/url They couldn't score a goal like that on Playstation, let alone for real.

So friendly goals decide who wins the WC? We must have a reasonable chance with that one Defoe netted the other day against the Platinum Stars then.



I usually go into big tournaments with a deluded feeling that we will go all the way. Don't have that so much this year. Though I do think with Capello in chance we could go all the way, I just don't expect us to. A lot will of course rest on Rooney keeping his head.

Double Post

USA.....USA.....USA

lol.



I doubt greece could score a goal like that, but that didn't stop them winning euro 2004.



Remember argentina's wonder goal in the group stages of 2006? where there were about 28 passes involved?



What happened to them, how far did they go in that tournament. It's not about the quality of goals. On world rankings at the time england had the toughest qualifying group of anybody and breezed through it.



If you want a dose of confidence look at the 2006 world cup and watch the highlights of our QF with portugal.

You are a traitor to this country and should be executed for high treason.

Quite.



People say ''oh we don't have enough world class players'' but it's about how well you play as a unit, and of course you need abit of luck.

Was that the game when England played with a fast, tenacious defensive midfield player? Do you see that player in the squad now? Do you see any midfielder of ours who is defensively outstanding? The defensive midfield player is becoming more and more key to sides wanting to win titles. Do you think Spain would have won it without Senna in 2008? Many felt he was one of the players who made the difference for Spain. Italy wouldn't have won it in 2006 without Gattuso, etc. I've heard many say England need to start playing like England and not trying to play like Spain or Argentina, but I don't understand what Capello is trying to achieve with that midfield, it is so pedestrian and the main reason our centre halves look average when in an England strip is because the midfield forever leaves them exposed 1v1.
