Torres? He's the poor man's Darius Vassell.

I hope that becomes his nickname.

lucky for spain that england weren't there becasue none of those midfielders would be able to oust gerard, hargreaves, lampard, cole or beckham, and ht eenglish defence is probably one of the strongest in the world.

Their qualification (or lack of) suggests otherwise

Erm...qualification would have been a start....

This is why I was (in the end) glad England wasnt there, the lack of hyperbole was refreashing....

Marcos Senna has to be the Player of the Tournament,unusual to see a Brazilian play for Spain,they tend to favour Portugal

Actually, Spain has more Brazilian-born members than Portugal. Donato, Catanha, some guy in the 70s and now Senna against Deco, Pepe and Celso Matos in the 70s.

 

[Obnoxiousness]

WELL DONE SPAIN!!!!

I think England would've been at Euro 2008 if we had a couple of decent strikers. England have great defence, great mid-field, but they can't seem to score goals. IMO.

Seems every team has at least 1 Brazilian these days.

Maybe that's where England are going wrong.

England have no decent keepers, a good defence, an vastly overrated midfield and Wayne Rooney who rarely plays to his full potential. They would have struggled to get out of the group stages.

You mean Xavi....Xabi Alonso didn't play much so that would be quite an achievement! He was excellent yesterday and against Russia. Senna has been better but I guess holding midfielder isn't considered glamourous enough.

yes, i did mean xavi, typo fwiw, i thought Iniesta was as good, and i agree with you about Senna.

[T & P]

World class, mate. Fabregas? Overrated, mate. None of that lot would get into the England team. Torres? He's the poor man's Darius Vassell.

I think it's good news England weren't at the Euros, because they would have almost certainly been thrashed (by any one of at least a dozen teams in it) repeatedly, and finished fourth in its group.

This is a joke right? - please tell me that this is a joke.

It's dripping with sarcasm and clearly a joke
