I hope England get knocked out.
That would allow us english to actually enjoy the rest of the cup lol
Costa Rica, put us out of our misery!
I watched the game against Uruguay and the first ten minutes was enough for me to realise just how bad England are . They couldn't string more than three passes together , the movement off the ball was shocking nobody seemed to want the ball and the times they gave possession away was laughable . How can a relatively new to the game Australia play so well (very unlucky against the Dutch and the Dutch 12th man ,the ref ) and England ,the mother of football be so dismal ?
Must be one of the worst England sides I have seen for many-a-year .
I agree with you about getting knocked out ,we should re start the home internationals (that's if the Scots don't back heel us in September ). 😞
Originally posted by phil3000I think your criticism is unwarranted Phil, really, England did not play badly at all in both games and the outcome of both may have been very different if not for Pirlo in the first game who is as close to a football genius as we are likely to see in this world cup and Suarez and in fact i think that both the goals in the Uruguay match were against the run of play. It comes down to what the legendary Clough stated, tactics don't win you matches, players do.
