England Team Thread

[Adrock]

Nobody but the media will be interested in the result. If it goes wrong Capello is enemy number one, again. If the team win, which they should, then it'll be business as normal.

England to lose 9-1, Bendtner to score all the goals, including England's, which he scores in the 89th minute with an audacious chip from 80 yards out after feeling sorry for them.

Dong Energy, tee hee. I bet their service is c*ck, just like UK energy providers.

I'm English, but I wanted Denmark to win. What is wrong with me?

[prinnysquad]

Bent scored.

How to react? I have no reaction. There's just ... nothing.

What does piss me off is this. Muppet Show has been to see him play twice at Villa already. He told him he was better off at Villa and was more likely to be a starter for England. Apparently his game has developed already at Villa, and he's not just seen as a finisher.

What a cockfart. If he'd actually bothered to haul his wrinkled old arse up here once in a blue moon, he'd have seen that Bent developed his hold-up game during the entirety of last season.

Love watching Ghana

Full of beans, and with a lot of bottle. Crowd sounded great, too. Thousands of Ghanians was it? With their competitiveness, they should invite them back!

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

Decent game. A competitive friendly with a few full blooded tackles.

What was nice to see was this 'B' team not showing any of the so called fear that the usual first eleven display on a regular basis.

Gary Cahill doing well was nice too. Definitely a better option than Terry or Rio who are both well past being good enough for the big stage.

[prinnysquad]

Yep, great to see Cahill getting a run out. Jarvis, Wellbeck, even Downing - who I don't like much but deserves a place on merit - looked alright.

Gyan, what a star. Hyper-busy and a mixture of the sublime and the terrible. A real maverick who loves playing. What a great finish!

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

Wellbeck was so close to getting a second, unlucky.

I think Magboss will be lucky to hang onto Gyan in the summer, no offence intended, but he deserves to play on a higher stage than for a 'mid table' team who's manager seems to lack ambition, just like Cahill will do soon.

[prinnysquad]

I was surprised we got him after the WC. I agree, though, he'll be off!

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

Top 4 or somewhere else in Europe?

[prinnysquad]

Elsewhere. I don't think he has the consistency the top 4 want. Someone like Liverpool might risk a punt.

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

If Elmander goes, which is looking likely, I wouldn't mind Columba taking a punt on him, but I can see him going to Italy.

[abigsmurf]

Looks like Mr Blatter himself is finally going to be on the receiving end of a corruption investigation.

Even if he gets off, there's been too much of this rubbish for FIFA to keep on going the way they are. If the FA knew they could get the support of a few more EU leagues, I'd be willing to bet they'd give FIFA a 'sort yourselves out or we're leaving' ultimatum.

[Kieran76]

I wish we had the balls to do it. Fifa would crumble without the likes of England, Spain, Italy and Germany.
