i am just stating some "facts" mate. england still can't even pick left footed player to play on the left of midfield. so wheres all the choice. or do you think thats gerrards best position? if so, it is you who is smoking something.

is gareth barry not left footed and a midfielder????
and on your topic of english players in the p.l... how many italians were in inter's side that won the c.l?????

[bowie]

gareth barry clearly doesn't play on the left, he plays in the centre in the holding role. and i haven't been discussing the italian league. yes they got problems too

where are you from m8, who do you support.whether i like it or not england arent good enough to win major tournaments, even though weve had some great players over the years. to blame it on foreign players or hooligans is just dumb. you need to do better than that.

We share similar destiny on WCup with refs. 2:2 against Australia was needed to guide us in the next stage and the ref did not show on the penalty spot 2 minutes before the end when Cahill played with arm in 16 (and in the two our games before that on both game ref showed on the spot for the same thing against Serbia). By the way, that's the same refs that was guiding today game. England need something that we also miss on big competitions. I don't know what it is. You have a brilliant squad. If the result was 2:2 I am sure everything would be different. England would not hurry for goal and there would not be counter attacks for Germany. I blame Barry for two goals and bad game.

And while I am typing this Argentina has scored a goal from clear offside. The judging on the WCup is a shame. Double standards.

Glad i didnt hit the bottle today, Would of been a ****ing nightmare. I was rooting for a fifth for Germany thats how disgusted i was. Pathetic performance, Terrible defending, Freak goal from upsons face, Totally outclassed, Im not picking on Wayne Rooney here but he has been as much use as a condom with a puncture in this world cup, What a ****ing disgrace, Best player in the world, In the top 5, No... Top 10... No.... Is he F?ck... Fat C?nt......

[maca]

a team of individuals of who cant or wont play as a team.
world class players ?? yes with world class foreign players around them at club level....

[koppit]

absolute garbage and that was just the "manager".

[Ansem]

have to say england were poor, from the first game to todays game and like it or not there was no "team" there......and that goes all the way to the manager im afraid, he made some silly decisions like having to accomodate both lampard and gerard in the team for a start....get some balls fabio and pick one of them and show your not being pressured by the media to pick both.....the england fans deserve it !!!

but cant we only get beat by the argies, spain, portugal and brazil.....??? remember???
disagree about our goal, unless he's got a mouth as big as a coconut.....
midfield was our failing, milner and barry....doh..
stevie was not brill , but did his bit. lampard for me was our best player, just above james, who i dont rate..
cole and glen were crap.. terry and upson did their jobs but if those 2 are up front for corners etc, we need speedy players to get back for a counter-attack and thats where barry and milner were lacking...
was lennon playing today or was it defoe, or swp..??
anyway ,basically england today were as good/bad as we were last season... am going to put my cv in for both jobs tomorrow...................i wish........

I hope Germany beat Argentina on Saturday, Im putting money on that one, John Terry was poor today and yes Gerrard & Lampard played well as individuals, James Also, The rest were off the pace.. Not rating Rooney i see..

if stevie and lamps cant play together, then neither should be in the side... these are world class players... they could play as full backs..... players like these dont play in set positions..they adapt to to the situation... well in theory that is.......
