They have been getting a reality check every single cup since '66. All england ever brings to the cup are mighty hopes and they leave with a louder noise. Am sure the english press is going to be full of how they were robbed (last time it was c. ronaldo)..

Hey phil3000! You know you're another Brit I feel is a kind and decent man. I am sorry about the outcome for your team. Regrettably they failed to show up to play except those two back to back goals in first half. Too bad soccer has sorriest refs calling games or outcome might have been different since they would have had Germany on the ropes. Germany looked shell shocked at that point and were lucky to go to break still up 2-1. Sport needs reform ASAP! I expected England to lose, but not a blowout!

Now why can't you make more contributive posts to the sports forum like this one here? In the majority of your posts you're repeating yourself over and over and over about how overrated England players are, while furiously slamming your fists into your keyboard with rage because you hate them so much, despite your claims that you don't.
To be fair to the refs, there was no way the linesman or the ref could have seen whether the ball had gone in or not. Heck I was watching it on tv and I wasnt sure whether it had gone in or not till I saw the replay, a luxury which the refs dont have. But this will again renew the calls for more tech in sports.

I could tell from the velocity of the ball that when it hit the bar the first time it would have spun tremendously, like they always do, if it hit the bar the second time it would have been a goal. If the ball hit the line then it wouldn't have touched the bar the second time because it would have spun out into play. I immediately knew it was a goal. Immediately.

I thought it was easy to see it was a goal from the camera angle, but even if it had been allowed I'm thinking we would still most likely have lost it. Rarely seen us so weak in defence.
Originally posted by robbie carrobie excellent post! completely over hyped, a victim of their own self delusion. I actually feel for their fans who have been strung along by the English media, telling them how good their league and their players are.
Perhaps the media fed the fans what they wanted to hear. I didn't expect England to be much at the start, but like France and Italy I had expected quite a bit more than what they showed...
Originally posted by divegeester I don't have many words that I can post here that will convey what I feel inside at the moment, except that is for massive profanity -- and this:
You have 15 minutes left to play and you are 3 goals down as the England manger; is there anybody, I'm mean anyone else in the whole world other than Capello who would pick Heskey as your sub?
do you mean Emile "the goal machine" heskey.
did anybody notice that glen "netball" johnson looked like he'd never played football in his life, his body movement reminded me of the kids at school that hate football but are made to play, he didnt seem to know how to control the ball......or tackle..........or pass...............or mark.............or head.............or run..........but then again that could be said about the whole team.
Was just going through heskeys stats out of curiosity.
His recent performances
Club - appearances - goals
Wigan - 82 - 15
Aston Villa - 45 - 5
England - 62 - 7
What was he even doing at the world cup? He even started two games. Unbelievable.
And he took out rio ferdinand who was sorely missed as englands defence was being torn to shreds.

Looked to me like the English boys were trying a bit too hard. Germany was clearly the better the better team regardless. 😏
Originally posted by ManualEngine germany were even better when they had Kuntz playing for them instead of posting thoughts on here.
Hows that for a better pun!!!!
Don't drag body parts into it unless you feel the Englanders were closer to that than Germany. Only players body resembling that on the field were Rooney, Terry, Barry, Upson, Lampard and James. Although to be fair to James no one would have stopped those rockets. So what exactly was the English press saying? Two world wars and a world cup? Try pun with that one. Slightly more complicated than your crass alusion to female organs? Germany owes England no apologies!
