I hate crouch and everything he offers, he invites route 1 football, he gives a defenders an option from the back when a simple pass to a mid is there, nothing you 2 long ball lovers is gonna change that


kdjac

I would rate him as our second best striker after Torres above Kuyt & Voronin. Havent seen enough of Babel as a striker to compare.

KdjaCL

Keeper was getting nowhere near that, how the **** did he get a free shot in from there.

Full time:

Portugal 0 Finland 0 ... Portugal progress

...Finland gave as good as they got and could have scored twice in the closing minutes....time to get Hodgson now

Jonny Arson

i think England have blown it now

unless Beckham has a 90 min free kick

Any chance of taken this nonsense to another thread

Darren Bent is coming on? 4-3-3

Mike.

What a goal by croatia :eek:
England go out, only themselfs to blame. Scott Carson is a good keeper, will be a better keeper then Robinson in my opinion in a couple of years

redzerdrog

get in!! what a game!!

AARRRGH

Jaysus this is ****ed.

I have a seriously unfinished college paper due tomorrow but I can't take my eyes off this game!

ninebeanrows

What are russia doing!!

Still only 1-0!

Villain

Yea I think Hodgson will be the Favourite now. I just hope England go after Jose and not Martin O'Neill if they lose.

Mr.Nice Guy

I'd feel better if Russia got another against Andorra.

that's the most retarded thing i have heard... to support a club means you support the country? I dont boo or throw insults in Englands direction. Im not an England hater like many in our country. I am a Man utd fan. I like englands players but this is just great entertainment and I like to see the teams who aren't expected to win, win.

Maybe Stan will get the England job.

Unearthly

This is far more tense than England v Greece in 2001, even if Beckham didn't score that freekick they still had the playoffs, this is either out or qualified

Villain

I know its impossible to know and its not really relevant but I think if Jamie Carragher hadn't retired and was playing England may not be loosing. Lescott isn't up it imo

evad_lhorg

while im highly entertained by this right now id love to see Beckham score a free kick to win it.

I think that people who support english clubs, but boo england national team like probably most tonight are doing now are stupid, but i think an arguement like this should be kept for another thread.

Anyone fancy Croatia to go far in the Euros next summer? I think they could be worth a few euros.

mewso

Yeah haven't seen much of Croatia up to now. Very impressive. Could be worth a flutter.

Anyway tick tock....

d22ontour

Motson seriously needs to retire, i never heard such utter garbage during a match.

AARRRGH

Good comment on the BBC website:

2144: "Without doubt, the defining image of McClaren's short reign. With their backs against the wall, England need blood, sweat and tears, and yet McClaren stood there helpless, umbrella aloft, not even prepared to get his hair wet! What would Churchill say?"
Watson, Aberdeen, via text on 81111

I'd like to see England go through tbh. I was lucky enough to get to a WC2002 match and all the England fans who were supporting us impressed me. Anyone imho who boo's England because of the past is stuck there and is small minded.

If England don't get through it will be shame because us and none of our neighbours made the Euro's. It will be a less interesting tourny.

Villain

Andorra could save England yet!

Unearthly

Come on Beckham, make this one hell of a game

Tusky

Mark Lawrenson has been silent for about 10 minutes.

"Say something Mark, say something"

Mark - "cant"

Classic.

Raekwon

Russia down to 10 men.

This had been discussed in a thread before, it is not because of History. Its their medias arrogance that infuriates me

Jonny Arson

it really hope England lose


















and for Andorra to equalise

KdjaCL

Cro should have scored there.

I know its back to the wall but jebus you still have to defend.

England are doomed , hoofing to Crouch who can't head the ball.

Mr.Nice Guy

Hang tough Croatia!

gandalf

Very impressed by Croatia though they are good value for the lead. But Russia have been awful during the qualifications and they won't be going far next summer if they make it.

I agree, i think the england national team is suffering big time, seems to be from pressure from the press or fans? The managers they have had in the couple of years have played the same syle over and over. I think they need to go foreign and get someone who wont pick players on there reputation pass or present and also wont be bothered by what the press say either.

tick tock...........................

Pigman II

Well I don't know about you but I've found my adopted team for Euro 2008. Croatia. Brave and lovely to watch. Srna is a star in the making.

Hard luck Engerland. Never mind tho. You still have the Celtic cup to play for (if invited).

mike65

Well that wraps it up.

Mike.

delta_bravo

Russia down to 10 men in their game

Mr.Nice Guy

Yes!!!!
