McFaul 35 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 To be fair I think Belgium are just another horse now, so am expecting a spectacular failure....bit like when Pele and dozens of others tipped Colombia in 94 after a brilliant qualifying campaign but were fuckin hopeless at the finals Am pleased for Bosnia-Herzogovina, first time theyve qulaified Pleased for Hodgson too, he's a good egg really and I've also seen his tadger in the toilets at Schipol Airport (ftao Stevie: nowt to be shy about our Roy ) I'm not interested in Roy's cock Spot on about Belgium though, they've got a load of really good individual players, but at the end of the day they're Belgium, and that's even worse than being England or Holland.

McFaul 35 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Here we go. We've been here before Stevie. You'll be cursing yourself next year for daring to dream, when we drop out with a whimper. I'm just pleased Hodgson is doing well. I'm getting better, we were going to win in 2006 and 2010, ffs we were going to win in 2008 and we weren't even there. I don't think we'll win, I just think we could go to the last eight, there's not many outstanding international teams now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26394 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Do England have any genuinely world class players? Obviously there's Rooney but given his general form over the last year I'm not sure he currently sits at that level. Though it isn't necessarily a prerequisite for a successful team but it has been a long time since England have had a side that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Though it isn't necessarily a prerequisite for a successful team but it has been a long time since England have had a side that is greater than the sum of its parts. Gerrard was world class, I think Ashley Cole is as good a left back as you can get in world football in a defensive sense. In my view player for player England in 2006 were better on paper than Italy, even Australia should've put them out, and definitely Greece in 2004. Football is a team game, maybe one of England's problems in the past is we've had top players, but been unable to mold it in to a top team.

McFaul 35 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) I tell you one thing I don't understand about the World Cup next year, in 1994 it cos the yanks £30m to host it, yet it's costing these £14billion. That's 500 times more. I appreciate the yanks had the stadiums sorted, but the difference is mental. Edited October 16, 2013 by McFaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19826 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 English players are over rated, over hyped and play under the weight of expectation and fear of reproducing another failure, as evidenced by the continual mental capitulation when faced with a penalty shoutout. I'm optimistic but not confident that there will be less hype and less pressure on them than the (ahem) "golden generation" so they might surprise us by not conforming to type, but it's a fairly ordinary and inexperienced side. And they still don't keep the ball well enough to be considered a truly top side. Credit to Hodgson. Nice to see 'Arry looking a tit - he may well have struggled to top the group.

Edit: Unless you meant £300m which wouldn't be far off the mark. Edited October 16, 2013 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Welbeck and sturridge aren't clinical enough. We miss a proper number 9, too many number 10s Sturridge is clinical as fuck tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Whenever England play well peoples expectations are raised, but I'll give you a few stats, we've lost 2 games in 3 years (TWO), both friendlies. In that time we've played Brazil, Spain, Holland, Italy etc etc... I'm not saying we can win it, I think Germany are far better than we are for one, but there's only two sides head and shoulders better and no more than four who you can say are probably better.

McFaul 35 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 me="Tooj" post="1233687" timestamp="1381912352"] When will you learn? Well it's better than being a cynical miserable fucka, and at no point have I said we can win it, I think that's quite balanced by my standards.

According to the source material that $30m is only what they spent on improving stadiums rather than the overall cost of hosting the tournament, which is why I thought it too low.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 I think there's quite a bit to enjoy about England at the moment. I've certainly drifted away from any real interest in England over the last 5 years but I've certainly enjoyed the last two matches. We have a decent fella in charge who you can see is living every kick. And a team with some old heads, some solid players and some very exciting young'uns. No reason at all why we can't have an exciting tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
