You could always f**k off to Scotland if you hate England so much.

Why not Wales? It's closer?

The England team visited an Orphanage in Cape Town today.

Looks like you might get your way SAS

Meanwhile, Fifa have also announced that German referee Wolfgang Stark will take charge of the clash with Slovenia.

No, I wouldn't know where to look.

Are you honestly saying that players like Gerrard, Rooney, Lampard and Joe Cole aren't technically proficient?

Their club records and price tags would suggest they are.

They're exceptions to the rule. And even they didn't display too much technical proficiency in the last game.
Admittedly technical proficiency doesn't matter as much as team commitment, work rate and mental attitude as Germany shows, but I'm afraid England don't have those qualities either and that is why I can't forgive them.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the full name of the country. Scotland is a kingdom within the United Kingdom.

So in the immortal words of Tom Jones, f**k you pussycat!

Scotland is no longer a kingdom, it is part of the United Kingdom.

You're just talking bollocks now.

I said a couple of weeks ago you have 4 very good players, the rest are very average.

Ledley King? Carragher? come on.

[gingerjedi]

Why? Are you saying England are technically proficient? Can you point to the evidence of this in terms of England possession, pass rates etc.

Some attempt at highbrow nationalistic bollocks...

[gingerjedi]

I don't know, maybe you're right. But if they have messed with the ball to nullify skill levels, that should be to England's benefit given the the ENglish players are NOT very technically proficient.

You're just talking bollocks now.
