where will you be watching us beat the germans

[Posh Red]

They are fuckin that up as well

Phew , that was too close for comfort

[Rich Pullen]

How exactly? Just means they haven't played much that's all.

They played like they had an eternity of understanding. It shows that you don't need experience to win big games like this... You need a squad that works to a formula.

i dont think lampard made a tackle at all.

Nor did the rest of the midield, especially our 'so called' defensive midfielder Gareth Barry, who was as quick as Ross MacLaren in his prime.

Thank god it wasn't 2-1 or the cracks would have been well and truly papered over.

[Rich Pullen]

Yeah, it was a horrific decision and everything is ifs, buts and maybes - but he were bad, real bad!

[flammableBen]

Part of me, quite a big part, like all of me apart from maybe my left knee, wanted Germany to get a few more. It was very difficult to keep behind such a horrendous England side.

Sort of like how the crowd must have felt in Rocky IV when they all get behind Rock.

[adje]

To be honest 6-2 would have been a fair result

[Sussex]

Always did prefer the Euros...

Anyway, Top Gear's back tonight. Wahey!

Anyway, Top Gear's back tonight. Wahey!

Totally missed that fact so thanks!

[Talk Talk]

The banger racing was brilliant.

Capello is a smart cookie getting the clause removed to get rid of him, but I don't really blame him. Overhyped and overexpected as ever, and I expect the tabloid media to dissolve in a storm of indignation tomorrow and campaign for Harry Redknapp to be manager to push me even further over the edge.

That said, Blatter is still a cunt.

Capello must go in my opinion. Barely a person in the country would have taken the squad he took. There was no left sided midfielder and he stuck riggidly to a 4-4-2 that everyone could see was shit. Even my sister knew that we needed 4-5-1 of a variation of, yet we all no Capello would never have done that.

Blatter is a total cunt. Loved him getting on stage at the start and acting like some sort of god.

[Rich Pullen]

Barry do you or don't you care about England? One thread you're laughing and couldn't care less and this one you're calling for Capello's resignation!

Fabio Capello got us there with ease. He made selection errors and probably will go but I wouldn't be annoyed if he stayed.

Our players just can't get there heads around World Football! This could be why the big hitters in La Liga and Serie A are never majorly interested in our best English players...

[Barry Scott]

Right, I'll clear it up.

I'm severely disillusioned and hate the way this current bunch of wasters have played. I would like to punch everyone of the cunts in the face, so yes i care, but i hate them and them losing makes me hope it hurts them, so it pleases me! I'm English and support England, i'm just jaded and filled with hate at the lack of desire.

Capello clearly has pedigree, but the squad he took, his unbending need to play 4-4-2, his subs and the total lack of desire in our team isn't entirely down to the 11 on the field. I just think some of what I've seen him do is baffling of Andy King like proportions.

With regard to getting there, i'd say Becks had a massive hand in that because i'm sure i recall us being a far better team when he played. Could be wrong though.

[chalkies_shorts]

So our players play like cunts but the foreigner gets it. Beckham has been a spare part throughout the qualifying camapign. 4-4-2 did us just fine qualifying. Now all of a suddent the experts are saying play Gerrard behind Rooney - we've done this once and lost 2-0.
I don't think Capello has covered himself in glory but I blame him less than those useless cunts who took to the pitch and forgot how to actually control a ball - yes Rooney, you uselss cunt who couldn't trap a bag of cement.

Im afraid you are-he only started one game,mind you he looked good against Andorra!
