anyone have link to a live stream?

Idbatterim · 26-03-2011 4:31pm

good post above! the first semi decent side they come up against if they qualify should have them! look at them in the worldcup! they didnt win one match in group stages did they? and then got hammered 4-1 by who else but the germans! Im half german, and when that match was being played, the apartment next to us had a few english in it! The hilarious thing is, they probably though we were just being Anyone but Englands!

For anyone who wonders why trap plays the long ball then watch this game!

Same story as always mate.

Qualify at a canter, everyone from the players right down to the supporters dogs start thinking they will win the thing, and then they get beat when they play a decent, organised team.

It will be no different this time. They'll qualify easily, get an easy group on paper, struggle in that but go through, and then lose in the last 16 or QF's at best, probably on penalties when their bottle will go as usual.

Head and Shoulders; the official shampoo of the England squad.

Dont tar all the fans with the same brush. I dont know anyone at home who goes into tournaments thinking we will win it. You are listening to the media too much who build us up to knock us down.

Wales booing the British anthem??? Confused.com

Goal-this could be a hammering.

Football wise God Save the Queen is the English anthem and Northern Ireland for whatever reason, it has nothing to do with Wales, who just like Scotland have their own anthem's

It's true though. And for the record, I take everything the media say with a pinch of salt.

That said though, I shan't tar you with any brush me lad.

It just isnt. The media want to show you the average moron who gets carried away with the hype the papers and Sky etc pump into them. Go into a pub and yeah sure we cheer on the team but anyone who knows a bit about the game doesnt go into a tournament thinking we will win it.

edit: anyhoo, enjoy the match later gents!

That_Guy · 26-03-2011 4:36pm

Settle down young Ramsey.

Raskolnikov · 26-03-2011 4:37pm

Robbie Savage to come on and save face for the Welsh.

It's true in the terms that ye always bottle it in big tournaments. I never said anything about going on to win the thing.

If you look at all the tournaments that England have qualified for, they've done it superbly well but end up bottling it. No denying that.

BeanFlicker · 26-03-2011 4:39pm

Yea and Giggsy to tog out at half time:o

That_Guy · 26-03-2011 4:40pm

Jaysus Rooney.

It was me responding to the initial post containing:

'Qualify at a canter, everyone from the players right down to the supporters dogs start thinking they will win the thing'

and you agreeing with it.

I mean we bottle it in matches yeah (****ing painful to support England in those tournaments) but we certainly, or at least the majority who arent muppets, dont think we will win the thing

~Rebel~ · 26-03-2011 4:41pm

What goes on in Rooney's head...

<edit>
and right on cue the usual sky comments "you cant take that out of his game cause its that appetite that makes him so great blah blah blah..."

You can be committed and disciplined at the same time ffs!

The English national team doesn't exist north of Manchester mate (well according to Capello anyway), therefore Bradford doesn't count

No mate, I was agreeing with the bit in bold. We all know the media and what they're like in England.

I don't agree that all fans think they're gonna win it. I'm just agreeing that when England come up against a well organised team that they just don't know how to handle it.

That's all mate.

fair nuff, just wasnt all that clear from the quoting of posts. Much ado bout nothing really, just hate people thinking that all the fans are muppets, we're going to win the lot etc etc which causes even more resentment for England fans, particularly over here

Pepe LeFrits · 26-03-2011 4:44pm

Jesus could sky not filter out the screaming kids right next to the microphone?!

I'm glad I haven't it on right now, shagging a team-mate's wife in the middle of a match is bad craic.

How are [a] Wilshere and Ramsey doing?

That_Guy · 26-03-2011 5:14pm

Was that Wales' first shot on goal?

Wilshere looking his usual classy self. Great on the ball and always aware of whats around him.

Ramsey looking a bit lost but its down to him not being fully match fit and playing in a team who just cant get any rhythm going. Id say he would appear to be playing better if he was in the other team with more of the ball, better plays around him and the better movement.

That_Guy · 26-03-2011 5:16pm

Who's that Jack Wilshere lad? He seems to be a decent player. Surprised nobody's been talking about him more.

Joekers · 26-03-2011 5:20pm

Gonna be another glorious qualifying campaign for the English, before they crash and burn when they come up against the formidable Swiss or Ukrainians at the tournament proper
