ITALY vs England

[editor]

I think England are going to fluke this.

Does anyone on the planet think differently? Other than Joe Reilly?

Meanwhile, Italy are spending the night watching porn, rather than practising penalties or owt

I do, and I think people who say such shit are cretins who know fuck all about football.

The idea that Rooney would stay the same type of player as the kid who burst through at Everton is just stupid, he's had to change and add to his game because it's all very well doing that kind of thing as a new kid but after a couple of seasons you'll get found out.

Essentially if you're not scoring volleys from 30 yards out some people can't appreciate what you do, the dicks.

it's nearly the same with midfielders, idiots ask what is the point of Carrick whilst banging on about Parker, missing the point that a player like Carrick doesn't need to slide on his arse or throw his body in the way of things cos he's more about positioning himself to shut off a potential pass or intercept one.

This rant has been mostly inspired by that thick cunt Terry Butcher's open letter to the England squad in the Sunday Mirror (my ma buys it!).

I've not got a clue tbh, can think of a thousand ways we'll fuck it up but hope springs eternal.

where does Butcher slag players off for how they play?

i didnt say he did.

 

[Fuchs66]

I would like to see England win this

(but only because I want to see Germany take them apart)

Come on Germany!

So why did what he say inspire you to rant about people not appreciating the subtler side of someone's game then?

I wish there was a not like button.

 

[Fuchs66]

I wish there was a not like button.

It's only a game!

 

[Maltin]

I like them playing Three Lions in the stadium.

cos his retarded letter summed up the idiocy of those who wank on about belief, blood and guts etc

the shitty extended military metaphors, private Parker etc

no one seems to notice that Parker is not only shit on the ball but rarely even makes himself available for a pass.

0-0/1-1
Penalties
Out

I like the only comment on the article.

 

[friedaweed]

I think they should decide this buy putting Rooney and Balloteli in a cage and carry out a 'strop off' to the death.

 

[JimW]

Well most of the commenters on Chinese forums think England are doomed, and they know fuck all about football so that's a good sign.

This. My heart is hopeful but my head is readying for disappointment

 

[harpo]

Look, even my Italian OH has speculated that England could just do this. Have faith

 

[5t3IIa]

Lots of boss-eyed chaps on the Italian side

 

[editor]

It's not going to be another England defence-fest, is it?

 

[editor]

Oooh that was close. What a shot!

 

[Badgers]

Hmmm....

A little shaky start

Get Carroll on ffs

 

[blairsh]

Oooh that was close. What a shot!

miss hit it, nearly got lucky.

 

[editor]

Lordy! Really close for England. Good play.

 

[tommers]

We've got em on the run.

 

[Badgers]

We've got em on the run.

Never stopped believing

 

[editor]

Not a bad game so far.

 

[Corax]

Caaamaaaarrrrrnengluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Etc.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bit nervy...

 

[purenarcotic]

Nervy, yeah, but at least it's mainly in their half and their goal end.

 

[ruffneck23]

good start boys, keep up the pressure
