England Team Thread

[Kieran76]

England have a made a truly woeful start.

[Jebus]

It's strange, when I had Setanta I was a defender saying "It's up to them, if they pay the most money they have the right to show it exclusively" but now I'm a non subscriber, I'm outraged by the scum stealing our internationals!

[Kieran76]

I get it for free for being a Virgin customer, wouldn't pay for it.

[EJG1980]

I wouldn't worry Jebus, as YM said it's been crap from England so far, could have been 2-0 to Kazakhstan. You're not missing much!

[Flabio]

Final score does flatter England somewhat, but Rooney's goal was top drawer.

So, 8 points clear with 12 to play for. And next up is Andorra. Nice.

[Baseley09]

Job done, it's cheese of me to say there are no easy international games now, but you can't go on the pitch thinking the points are in the pocket.

They had their moments, but total domination ensued.

England were, well, England really...

At least Downing didnt play, we'd have double the posts to wade through in complaint if he did...

[Anpanman]

I get it for free for being a Virgin customer, wouldn't pay for it.

Do we?

'We', as in I also a VM customer, didn't know we got Setanta.

[Kieran76]

Depends on your package I suppose. Channel 538 is where it is at.

The whole qualifying needs sorting out in my opinion. With the huge increase of supposed European teams, most of whom are rubbish, I think some sort of pre-qualifying needs to be introduced. Let the teams like San Marino, Andorra, Faroe Islands etc have a little tournament first. The game this Wednesday is a quite pointless and will prove nothing.

What's with this crap?

"Peter crouch.. HAHAHAHA... Striker *glares""

"Lescott... *sorry my cheeks itching, one sec* DEFENDER *customary glare*

Why are they all trying to look hard?

[abigsmurf]

pointless game. These matches against awful opposition do nothing but prevent players getting a rest.

[EJG1980]

Still, can't really say to them "Sorry, you're to crap to be in the world cup, plus we need a rest!"

Not really very exciting but one sided games never are. The highlight for me is being able to watch it in HD now we've got the latest guide software from Sky. Not quite as good as Sky Sports HD picture quality but it's about four million times better than having to put up with the normal ITV picture!!

And we're in the final! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...ls/8116495.stm

Too bad the defending champions are not there...

Anyway, that Marcus Berg plays for my club. I hope some team abroad will pick him up... anything but Ajax.

I hope they'll crush Germany btw.

[abigsmurf]

losing a 3-0 lead is pretty awful. Also irritating the way they seemed to 'settle' for penalties.
