Anyone else disappointed by England? They look a ridiculously average team.

I think Huddlestone, Bent and Walcott are going to be left behind.

Walcott has been very poor all season. He doesn't deserve to go imo.

eagle eye

Excellent save.

SeanKev

Great save!

kenon

Brilliant save from the Japan keeper.

England do look quite average. Their passing is a bit shït but Japan are defending quite well.

the rags will have a field day tomorrow with this display

Its a friendly just a week and a bit before the World Cup, do you expect them to be giving it there all?
Like Portugal, New Zealand and Paraguay its very unlikely that they are going to bust a gut this close to the World Cup.

looks like a NTL problem

anyone use that British TV thingy for VLC player? top notch streams

everdead.ie

Lennon has done much better on the right Joe Cole done quiet well too this half.

therecklessone

If you have UPC/NTL and still have an analogue feed you should be able to watch on that.

ArmaniJeanss

ITV is still coming through on 'normal tv', i.e, switch off your NTL box.

Busting a gut has nothing to do with it. It's the lack of creativity, the inability to link up, the aimless punts forward. Good teams will show their class, their technical superiority, even if only in flashes, without much exertion.

Emile Heskey really is one of the worst finishers on the planet.

Headshot

couldnt score in a brothel

Kev_ps3

Gotta mute those horrid chants

Guy:Incognito

Why is Gerrard staying on the pitch? Friendly match just before the WC, as son as he feels a slight twinge he should be going off.

eagle eye

Yet again Heskey comes on and England win.

mike65

Ashley Cole much better when he can do the overlaping with a "static" wide man.

How did Rooney get MOTM

everdead.ie

So who got a place/didn't I'm guessing Dawson seeing as he hasn't featured yet for england.

Yea was just wondering the same. Unless he was CLASS for the 5mins I missed when UTV went black!

i was wondering the same thing.

i thought he was distinctly average, though i'm not sure who i'd have given it to bar Joe Hart.

Wayne gave the ball away an astonishing amount and didn't really threaten too much from what i saw.

SlickRic

another thing, i don't know who i'd take, Huddlestone or Carrick. neither look good enough at the moment.

i'd almost take Parker to be honest.

Sútalún

Chiles saying Rooney was obvious MOM. Strange.. Though Hart and SWP did well enough second half and Huddlestone was decent enought first half. Overall eh, England were muck. I think there's a possible good team there somewhere just don't think Capello knows it yet.

angel01

Aargh missed most of that due to NTL :mad: came back with 5 mins to go :rolleyes:

Anyway, I don't think anyone can really give 2 seconds thought to these friendly games. I still think England can get quite far..

SlickRic

i hate this ITV interviewer.

he stirs so much sh*te it's embarrassing.
