Originally posted by Red NightEngland didn't qualify. They failed.
I've been watching many of the European championship games over here in the states.
I've seen Croatia, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Poland, Greece, Czechoslovakia, Russia, Turkey and others play some great games.
But, I've yet to see England play.
When does England play their games?
Originally posted by Red NightQuite wrong I'm afraid. Some of the England players are featuring in other lineups neatly disguised as other players. David James stepped in as Petr Cech in the last few minutes of the Turkey game last night. Got to learn to keep your eyes open.

Originally posted by Red NightNot good enough. Plain and simple. Poorly motivated, organised and reliant on second rate players none of whom would make Italy's starting 11, nor that of Holland, France or Spain, Germany or even Portugal.
They failed?
I don't understand.
Are you saying they weren't good enough?!?
Or did they fail for some other reason?
We've got the best manager in the world now, only he can make a silk purse out of this. But he will.
Originally posted by blade68Rooney maybe but he's nothing compared to Pirlo in whose position he plays. Gerrard plays for Liverpool so I refuse to say anything good about him. Lampard is only good for Chelsea, other squads have more choice and would bypass one so unreliable as he.
So you really believe that Rooney, Gerrard and Lampard wouldn't make the starting 11 of any of the teams you mentioned?
You're having a laugh surely?
