Moving swiftly on......

Oxo are introducing a new white Oxo cube with a red cross on it, in support of the England team.

 

It's called the laughing stock...

It beats me, we win by a wicket in the last over and you reckon that we lost.....no wonder the country's in the state it's in!

 

Engerland....Engerland!

 

 

 

Oh, sorry did you mean that foootball stuff...............send a man to play a boy's game

[Anderoo]

Awful. Just awful.

As i said on another thread, 1966 aside we have never appeared in a final of the world cup or Euro champs and before 1966 our showingg at world cups was dire. And i would add they were not payed much in them days nor did we have loads of foreign players in our league. so what was the excuse then. The truth is while other countries develop we let the grass grow under our feet lead badly by the FA. this tonking was coming sooner rather than later and I hope the press don't go on abot the lampard ghost goal as an excuse for this latest abject failure.

As an English man living in Scotland can you imagine the gloating and snide comments I am going to have to endure for the next few weeks

 

Embarrassing to watch. Everyone associated with it should hang their head in shame, and I don't just mean this match. We managed a solitary win against a country with the population of Birmingham and struggled for a draw against the other two mighty footballing nations of USA and Algeria.

We don't deserve to be there.

Pitiful

... why on earth would a foreigner want england to win anything?

no good leaving it to players they get money if they win nothing let the buggers walk home

Capello would have been £2,000,000 better off if England had won.

Actually , since 2006 i think , all monies earned by the England players whilst on international duty is given to charity. They don't get paid for playing for their country but they do get expenses etc. It was decided by the players that they knew they were in a very priveliged position and so this is all placed into a players fund and then given to various charities suggested by the players themselves.

 

On their club wages though , i'd agree that they are extrememly overpaid !!!

They may donate their appearance money to charity, it's peanuts anyway. Had they won the competition each player would have had £400,000-£450,000 as a bonus From the FA. Methinks this would have been straight into the hip pocket of the Armani tin flute.

it's a pity England didn't win! i was planning a trip down south for a weeks carping

most of the decent waters would have been very quiet ,i would have had a very good chance of a decent

place to go and a very good chance of a nice quiet week without all the usual verbal diarrhea about football ,

but now that you lot got thrashed that my plans snookered again .
