We would've lost that match if it wasn't for David James rushing out to clear up a Terry mistake.

England. An overpaid, overrated bunch of wankers who get carried by their foreign teammates while playing for their clubs.

A piss poor effort, and Rooney has the nerve to whine about the supporters. They paid money to go and watch that debacle. He should have been apologising.

he's apologised now apparently. BREAKING NEWS.

I don't think the players are to blame really. I think the manager has a lot to answer for. If you can't direct Rooney into a formation that is completely devastating then you are obviously a silly handbag face.

The whole telling the players if they are playing 2 hours before the game strategy is dumb.

If you watch them play they hold no formation. There's no two banks of four at the back until the very last moment.

Don't pin this on Wayne. Watching England fans blame the players like that and actually BOO them just makes our country look like a bunch of cunts. I guess most travelling ingurland fans are, by the stereotype, loud, fat wankers who really make our country look bad.

I blame Capello. Suck on it.

watch out guys i got my first goal today

Can you honestly blame the manager though? The England manager ALWAYS gets blamed, just look at Sven, he got us to three quarter finals and he still gets called a "shit England manager". Some of Capello's decisions are totally wrong, that is true, why not just play Gerrard behind Rooney ala Liverpool style? Stop playing Wright-Philips, he is shit, and play Joe Cole instead! There are various choices he's made that are poor.

However, imo, the main reason is:

The England I saw on Friday night looked completely devoid of passion or care. They were just "going through the motions" as it were, with little intent to actually produce a good display. I was infuriated by some of them. They're not fit to wear the shirt judging by that performance. If he's going to choose players based on form, why the fuck are Rooney, Lampard, Johnson, Lennon, Wright-Philips and Heskey (to some extent, mainly in the fact he's a basically a central defender playing up front) getting a game? They were all dire and the booing was completely deserved. If I was getting paid £100,000 a week I think I could make the effort to beat a completely average team, like Algeria. Come on...

Unless something drastic happens, I can't even see us beating Slovenia. I hope I'm proved wrong but judging from the two games I've seen, the players seem to think it's their right to qualify for the next round. It's not going to happen unless they start playing like the "superstars" they're supposed to be. If they don't then I guess we're expecting too much, which is quite frankly, pretty plausible.

Thank you Dennis Rommedahl! <3

And another upset! This is so entertaining (yet so unpredictable when it comes to this fantasy league). What's next? Brazil loses??

Fingers crossed eh, Mateui. I have Didier Drogba in my team so I will be tuning in tonight to see that game

So glad I picked up L. Fabiano. Was hoping for a hat-trick, but 2 goals will do.

Hahahaha Esh is gonna cry.

what an absolute shocker of a decision

i was gonna get loads of points from kaká too

in fact what is going on with the refereeing at this tournament? some absolute stinking red cards

I know. But I loved the expressions of that French ref... he was laughing and smiling most of the time which I found hilarious.

it was pretty funny when he asked luis fabiano whether he had handballed. what did he expect him to say??

Looks like I've taken over Esh's spot with such a score. GO 69!!!

ahh okay i only lost 3 points from that red card, that's not too bad i suppose

From that Brazil game, I got 1 point.

Last few days has been nothing but epic 1 pointers. I'll bounce back you bastard.

Man, Portgual totally demolished North Korea. 6 goals in the second half. Thoroughly entertaining
