The drama is over. England is finally eliminated at Wembley of all places. England lost 2-3 after being down 0-2 in just under 15 mins. Lampard took the responsibility showed his composure as he scored a cool penalty. Croatia were deserved winners but to be fair. England did deserve a point. Euro 2008 will go ahead without one of the football ‘powerhouses’. It’s very difficult to accept the fact that England won’t be playing in Euro 2008 but it’s official now.
It was not because England could not forbid defeat to Croatia. It was more because they dropped points all along. There will be more and more discussions now on foreign players quota systems youth talent etc. All said it’s a compel that England won’t be there in Euro 2008.
From a Chelsea perspective about half of our first choice aggroup can rest (less injuries?) in pass and come back fresh for the next season. For the number of matches played by the English Chelsea players not playing the Euro could be of some help how much ever they dislike to watch Euro on TV.
McClaren might count his days or hours. Are we going to see the return of Jose?_________________________________________Excitement is rising day by day as super bowl 2008 is approaching. However in the mean time US Open golf champion ship is going to held as well. People are rushing for the packages on both the places. However golfers can schedule package at Arizona as well. For the people crazy about golf it is the best measure to celebrate the mega event and enjoy a play holiday as well. However as Christmas is approaching people are getting crazy for snow shoeing and hence booking resorts as well.
England :1. Tactics : wrong & one dimensional and with no real acumen2. aggroup spirit : lacking3. Leadership on pitch : the bare minimum4. Efforts ; disjointed5. Imagination : nil6. Confidence : ragged7. Backup and youngsters coming up : LOL8. Luck : LOL LOL LOL how much u want boys ? Andorra to defeat Russia ?9. The manager : feel sorry for actually
( I know this cos I stayed up the whole night to see what turned out to be a sorry performance )
I dont whats in there to get shocked. England always plays poor football. I often repeat this statement
” England in Football is exactly desire India in Cricket. A team full of stars but not a star aggroup. What it looks on paper is not what they play on the field” | | | | | | | | |
England not making it to the Euro’s is a bit of a disappointment but what angers me more is the hype that Guus will get. He’s not as great as everyone said he was. He’s always had good squads to start off with and when he didn’t they went no where.
His tactics are bland and predictable. *run around for 89 minutes then act a shot* I’ve seen it all too much. Russia are lucky to have qualified. | | | | | | | | |
In the world cup he managed to get us the displace against croatia on neutral ground. Mclaren and england couldn’t change surface manage that on domiciliate turf.
right on torohi and dnt forget u guys almost got past the reigning champs Italy at the world cup jst to be heart broken by another decision by the ref his tactics were spot on hah England can only dream of such tactics and smarts to take S. Korea to the semifinals man this guy has done it all with which good squads?? Mr. Michael gratify cm bak to football………. lol!!!
And England are nothin but a joke…………. i predicted it before it happened they r just an overrated band of silly boys adulated to hero status after having a couple of good games……………….. | | | | | | | | |
Oh come on. We were playing against a side 1 man drink. We never had any real chance of goal against Italy. We should’ve dominated but we didn’t.
And why? because Guus was waiting for the last minute to sub Aloisi again. He used his luck with impact strikers one too many times. | | | | | | | | |
joeblue we all predicted that england would not make it it was all so obvious i also predicted that russia would make it albeit being very lucky guus is a good coach but he is not as good as you make him to be. He has been coaching for more than 20 years. He has not won the league outside Holland. He was a failure at Real Madrid and Valencia. He was sacked by madrid after few months from appointment. Interestingly he is now a cautious manager who emphasises more on defence than contend.
He did well with the national teams so late in his career after he was 55. South Korea were helped by the referees and good fortune so much for their ascent to semi finals in the world cup at home. Either we should believe this luck calculate everywhere or not discuss about it everywhere. He ordain not take up any club jobs because he know he cannot handle it. He would be a failure at any club. He should continue with and best suited for national teams only. | | | | | | | | |
That was awful to check. Gerrard was absolutely trash. I have never seen him so badly in such a big be. Lampard was better but not great no one was great. Carson was rotten the first goal he allowed could have been stopped by a ten year old. Injuries certainly played a big part but the 11th ranked team in the world (at the time) has to be more than two strikers deep. It was pathetic. | | | | | | | | |
