Group C - England, United States, Algeria, Slovenia

[Matteh]

Urgh, can't even find words to express just how poor Rooney in particular was. Couldn't even control basic passes, didn't chase down anything, just seemed lazy and prima donna-esque.

 

[Furball]

Great logic. The system is crap, so let's put a crap player into it and see what happens. Would suggest Joe Cole should get a game soon though, dire.

That Gerrard/Lampard are better players than Carrick doesn't necessarily make them a better fit for the side.

Carrick is one of only 2 British midfielders who's actually capable of playing a possession game.

 

[Matteh]

Pretty sure I could pass it back to the person who just passed to me and get nowhere itbt.

 

[Burgey]

Is anyone else now grateful England and Australia didn't draw each other?

Not because of any fear factor, but because the way both teams are playing it may have been the greatest shower of ****e in WC history.

Brazil-Italy, final 1994, tbh.

"Nice to see your own fans booing you. That's loyal support!"

 

[Johnners]

Heh, rubbishness personified. Will still make it through mind, just gotta beat Slovenia.

Should try not playing like utter **** imo.

Would be gutted to pay however much for a flight there, get all readied for the game and then get treated to a dour 0-0 draw with barely any positives out of it.

awta

Was that highlighted on British tv?

 

[Matteh]

No idea, refused to watch the general continuation of 'Yeah, that wasn't good enough' by the studio guys after the game as I'd managed to form that opinion myself already.

awta

Was that highlighted on British tv?

Yep. Was the third thing shown after the game finished, the first being the commercials and the second being an interview with Gerrard.

 

[Jarquis]

**** off ****s. I think I cared more than Rooney did tonight. Rattler.

 

[Cruxdude]

Seems like England need some Irish and South African players to win.

 

[cpr]

Least we found a way to silence the Vuvuzela's.... Can't boo and blow at the same time...

 

[silentstriker]

The best fans are the ones passionate enough to boo you and kick the ass of anyone else doing the same. That passion pays your multi million pound salaries you ****stained ****wad. I know he's English but people like that completely get on my nerves - I hear it all the time from dumbass Philadelphia atheletes everytime they get booed by the home crowd.

Actually exactly the opposite.

 

[Athlai]

Guess its just a matter of faith.

 

[silentstriker]

Amen.

 

[R_D]

I knew England will play crap but that was just pathetic.... Such a dire effort by them.
Capello must rate SWP quite highly.... No Joe Cole... But keeps on bringing SWP of the bench..
