It won't happen, but even if we do qualify, we need to change McClaren before Euros. We'll probably get to the quarter finals after poor displays in the group stages.

But at least we're (nearly) there.

that's about our standard. I'm not sure why people are blaming mcclaren rather than the players. they're simply not as good as the public and the media think they are. I can't remember the last england manager that was praised throughout his time in the job, they're always "rubbish".

Well, they can't make a purse out of a pig's ear. We're a middling international team. We're not brazil or italy.
 
Huge difference between team of battlers with first-rate German technician in charge grinding out a succession of backs-to-the-wall wimbledon 88 FA cup final prformances, and our bunch of quite good but not great underachievers
 
They played Portugal in the Final, right?

So did the Czech Republic 8 years earlier. 4 years before that Denmark won it – ½ the Finalists in the past 4 tournaments have come from small, unfancied countries.

only a fucking retard with no knowlege of football could hold up the fact that greece fluked winning it last time as evidence that England are winning material.

As it was I think Portugal were the team who deserved it, they just came up against a very organised and hard working team of underdogs.

England are quarter final material and that's it, they only held Portugal to a draw because they lost a man and then sat 10 men behind the ball that stifled Portugals fast countering play.

See that. That's who deserved to win. On account of the fact that they won it. A hard working and organised team will nine times out of ten beat a collection of ageing golden generation players, three fighting egotists and what was at the time a young show pony (of course, he's got a bit better since then).

Game of that tournament was Czech Republic vs Holland. A truly magnificent game of football.

:cool:
 
If you look at the tables England have conceded the 3rg least amount of goals and have the 5th highest goal differences ( the next 2 highest have 19 then 2 on 20 and the Germans with a freak 28 ) . To say England haven't deserved to qualify is a bit of a lie , they haven't exactly played brilliant football but they have scored goals and not conceded many ( 2 goals in each game lost ) so why do they not deserve to be in the position they are now in with 1 game left ?

they were also in one of the weakest groups by a country mile!

So they should lose points because they were ina weak group . I'm not saying they were anything but shit but they have got the results to give them a chance to qualify , which means they deserve to be in the position they are in now ! If England were actually good they would have already qualified but since they aren't they haven't !
 
England are a bag of shit though :( Yeah, they might make it.

Croatias loss yesterday was probably something to do with the pitch, i've seen better landrover rally courses.

I can see wednesday being...er....interesting. If Beckham plays, we'll win through him doing something but ONLY because when he plays everything goes through him (like when Rooney plays).

I'd rather see an England team than some English players all wearing the same shirt.
 
Israel winning has really pissed me off. England are now probably going to qualify. Never was so much handed on a plate to such shite which deserved so little. This has ruined my week.

Which do you think is the retarded part, that 2 of the last 5 winners were from 3rd rate footballing countries, or half the finalists in the past 4 Euro's were rank outsiders?

I just want to be clear because, as you know, we all value your balanced and anger-free insights.
 
I have a strange feeling that in a bitter twist of irony, england are now going to go and win the euro champs. They are 9/1 im gonna stick a few quid on it lol.

Imagine Steve McClarens smug face, i cant bear the thought :D

Englands draw with Macedonia handed a great chance for qualification to Russia . Should neither qualify because they are both shit ?
