England post-mortem

[shaunbhoy]

If Scolari agreed, then how would FA and fans feel about him beating England again in a rather low handed way? Remember - his school if coaching is based on the Arts of War book, which is basically do anything to win as its life and death situation, so no doubt Ronaldo is just a good pupil.

Most fans would not give a sh*t as long as England won matches. They must be fed up with the valiant loser tag and be ready for a controversial winner one after all this time methinks.

Aye SB. We've been shown the way over successive tournaments. The dark arts, plus liberal squealing, are the way to get results.

Hosting it is never a bad thing either as it goes.

The FA should have held out and got Scolari, Hiddink or even O'Neill. They didn't and English football at international level will suffer for it.

I thought ONeill would be the man to restore England, but I suspect Eric has managed to wangle so much cash from the FA they cant afford anybody of calibre now.

I mean the FA have to pay Eric five million pounds for the next five years as his golden handshake, that means they will still be coughing up a million quid the year AFTER the next World Cup, ie 2011.

Crumbs ....

I can't wait to see how it all pans out in the Man U camp. After discussing this with my bro we both think Ronaldo should be made to see out the rest of his contract in the reserves :-)

Thats after Shrek has broken his nose of course...

Fergie is well known anti English (something to do with him being Scots I understand) so don't be surprised if he gives Ronny a bonus and lets Rooney spend the season in the reserves.... obviously after he has broken the cheating gits nose that is.

On the final game against Portugal I would have played 442 with Crouch starting (due to a lack of other options). I would have dropped Lampard and shoved Beckham in the middle (or possibly dropped him for Hargreaves) and started Lennon.

Aha! here is our new Manager!
TonyEnglish!

Stop blaming Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard Blah Blah Blah!
The Manager is responsible for picking the players and the tactics....We have a pretty good Defence, arguably the best Midfield in the world (If you manage them properly) And I don't include an ageing Beckham. We went to a major Competition with Crouch...one very tall centre forward, Gambled on an injured Rooney, Owen who hadn't played more that a couple of hours football this season, and Walcot who hadn't even played in the Premiership for Arsenal!!!!!............Come on you need some bite in your strikers to win anything...Would Strikers like Defoe and Bent have been worse...Obviously not...these guys would have been in the box and sharper than what we had......I would have Sacked Sven at the Group stage, as it was obvious he had Fecked up big time........Blame Sven

I think its around October I recall England are playing the footballing might of Andorra.

Nil Nil I predict.

No red cards though, Rooneys suspended.

Also for budgetary reasons Scotland will not be represented in Euro 2008,rather they have merged with the Faroe Islands and the team will be named ScoFae.

Or is it FaeSco or FiaSco ... ?

I cant quite recall ...

honestly, such sore losers! Blaming Ronaldo for Rooney's stamp on Ricardo and subsequent well deserved red card is ludicrous and you know it.

Both teams played crap anyway. Only the English believe they'll win any tournament they enter. If you read the European press nobody gave England a cat in hell's chance.
