Someone's glad we lost so McClaren can focus on improving the team? WHAT A *******.
I'd rather we won and he concentrated on that in friendlies. How can you be glad that we might not qualify? Moron.
God forbid, McClaren might still be here for World Cup qualifiers so yeah, we could use improvement.

Me too, but I'm looking at the upside. The performance tonight was poor. Maybe McClaren will be able too see what was wrong and fix it before the WC.
I don't understand? You live in our country and speak our language fluently. You support an English team but you want the English national team to lose? If I lived in Portugal for a while and spoke fluent Portugese, and supported FC Porto, I would probably want Portugal to do well.
calm down children, its only football
WELL DONE to RUSSIA for winning.
children? but yet most of the users in this thread are probably older than you and as for calm down we are passionate we love football and to see our team possibly not make it to the euros is an absolute disgrace while scotland are beating the likes of france and sitting proudly top of their group with italy and ukraine also in their group
God, he was only joking ;l Yeh i'm passionate about football to, but he was only saying well done.
scotland are currently 1-0 down to georgia so there night hasnt started well
LOL gutted. they got like 6 first-teamers out neways
they won't make it through
russia deserve to win
as for you voiding
final score
kazakstan 1-2 portugal
and it took a last minute goal from ronaldo:rolleyes:
Dude, your cool and all but just don't touch forums which you obv know little about and I'm not looking for a argument.
As for England, theres no way were going get to get in now, were really ******. Were going to be a laughing stock in two game's time. There goes Beckhams 100th cap btw. I think if we didn't have that joker of a manager who has some brains we could/should have won this group and should have gone on to win the cup. No doubt there are going to be a few bitter England fans rampaging around Russia tonight and there will be a lot of stories blaming it on the pitch.
At the end of the day, we lost because the manager has no brains and is picking a rubbish team. Why play Robinson? Why not James? Sod Robinson's England record, I bet if Jame's had played them games he wouldn't have let two goals in, he's on form.
Why pick Rooney? Rooney hadn't scored an England goal for what was it, three years? How many has Crouch scored in three years? Now I don't know if he's injured but even if he was I would have picked Defoe, I don't know why but I just think he would have been better on that pitch.
Go on then, predictions for when Mr.Nub gets sacked? I'd say after the last game.
English team - Spurs
Portuguese team - Benfica
International team ovs portugal.
I did want england to do well since the last euro, portugal vrs england because I was fedup with the english comments on, Portugal.
"CHEATS" "DIVERS" thats why I don't like England or there news people.
er ty...
Byakov 90
Makukula 84 Ronaldo 90
This isn't nice though. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7048674.stm
Because he's a goal scoring machine. His record doesn't matter, he scored in the last game. He also scored again tonight
Anyway as for England's hopes of Euro 2008 - I personally think we'll crush Croatia :D
I think Scotland might be in trouble. They might get edged out by France & Italy - France are playing a qualifier against LITHUANIA (of all teams) and Italy have a random friendly against South Africa.
So I guess we'll just see how tonight goes :P Take a look on my Euro updates thread
EDIT: Sorry person above, didn't realise you already posted on the Rooney query ;P
Yeah, I did make that clear. Even though he's scored two in two games doesn't make him good. Jesus, if Phil Neville scored
two hat tricks in two games for England does that make him SUPER DUPER AMAZING? Even if it's against two small countries we didn't think existed until yesterday?
I would have picked Crouch over Rooney is all I'm saying and that's just my view, I didn't ram it down your throat and say you must agree with me.
Doesn't matter if we crush Croatia, have you seen Russia's next two games? If they win them (which they will) they qualify, we needed to win tonight.
You ask msb. to shut up why don't you do the same you clearly no nothing... Robinson had nothing to do with the 2 goals apart from the fact that they passed him which in fairness not many keepers would have saved. The penalty was a world class penalty it had power and precision right into the bottom corner. Also on the 2nd goal what did you expect Robinson to do catch the first shot? Did you see how much it swerved no keeper had of caught it the only option to do was parry it and get straight back up in case of another shot. WHICH HE DID he jumped back up and made himself as big as he could in front of the striker but the striker knew what was around him and what the keeper would do so got a slight touch under Robinson. At the end of the day Russia deserved to win they pressured England non-stop throughout the game which ended with them scoring two goals.
You ask the question why pick Rooney? lmao theres solid evidence that you know nothing about what you are talking about. Ask anybody who isn't a Liverpool, Manchester United fan who they would play up front Wayne Rooney or Peter Crouch 90% of all answers will be Wayne. Rooney is a massive presence within the team his work ethic is phenomenal not many strikers put as much effort into a game as much as he does. His finishing is world class, his movement is great, his ability to make a tackle is amazing. What more do you want from a striker? Dude use your brain before posting next time.
People will also argue about the fact that it shouldn't have been a penalty. Yes it was outside the area but what about Rooneys goal that was offside both sides had been hard done by.
Yes I am truely gutted but I still believe we can do this. One more game to go at Fortress Wembley.
? I didn't say that, I just meant I think Rooney is an all-round decent striker. A great choice for England at this time as he could score crucial goals. I see what your saying about Crouch btw, he's a great finisher
Who are Russia's next two games? Curious :P
CALM DOWN YOU FLIPPING *Text Removed*

It was my view, you didn't have to agree with it. I was only saying I think Jame's should have started as I think at this moment in time he is on form and is better than Robinson. I also think a selected amount of keepers could have caught the ball. And may I say again, even if we do win and Russia win both of there games Russia go through so why don't you shut up as you clearly didn't know that by saying we can go through.
Edit: For whoever asked Russia have only Israel and Andorra away to play.
Edit again: For G:M:T = I'm not a Man United fan or a Liverpool fan, I'd rather see Crouch upfront. kthxbi!
For combo = Just wondering, how many would Crouch have scored if he played both games? Some good
crosses coming in both games which I think Crouch would have put in.
So you'd rather he didn't play and didn't score two goals?
Yeah that makes sense, how can you call McClaren an idiot for picking someone who is getting goals atm? If he wasn't scoring you might have a small case, if Phil Neville scored 2 goals of course he would deserve to play.
Um.. post on the topic if your going to post pls? OMG Russia have got their next two games rapped up - unless Israel can shock them. Which, with their current form is doubting
Btw Robinson does make the occasional mistake - but when he makes vital saves to keep his team in the game whether it be Spurs or England they are always top class
Name some keepers that could have caught that ball... No infact go one better name and ENGLISH keeper that could have caught that ball and don't you dare say that David James would have caught because You, I and others know for a fact he wouldn't.
If we beat Croatia at home and Russia lose to either Israel or Andorra then we will go through. Israel away is a tough game for Russia which they could easily lose.
Croatia need just one point from their remaining two games to qualify. Russia will qualify if they win their remaining two games, while England, who HAVE TO WIN Croatia at Wembley in their last game, need Russia to draw or lose one of their games, against israel or andorra :rolleyes:
Portugal CAN play good football - just the OCCASIONAL dive.
Apart from that they would and mostly are a top class team
Part from the fact that a month ago they were 3rd in their Euro Qualifiers group, BUT NO LONGER! :P
