I hate the english when it comes to football, you are so up your own ****'s its unbelievable. Your national side does not deserve to qualify so accept it and get some players with heart.

If we qualify then of course we deserve it we might have been lucky with the israil/russia game but the 2 teams with the most points deserve to go through to the finals.

I agree we rarely play with heart with the players we have we should have other teams really worried at the thought of playing us but under mclaren and Sven after we beat germany we rarely look a good team.

I support england and believe that Mclaren is the wrong man for the job I was all for Martin O'neil (Leicester connection) as he is a great man motivator and shows passion.
I like a manager with attitude like José Mourinho, it rubs off on the team and gets them much more passionate and the siege mentallity he creates gets all the players united.
I hope we qualify but would love mclaren to be fired but it looks like it wont happen just yet.

To be honest they were on about the Home nations tournament if none of the home nations make it and I would much prefer that to the european championships I love the world cup but I never really get in to the euros.

I hear more more english people be critical about the manager and team than run around shouting how good we actually are but you could have a valid point if you said in the past.
I and almost every other english person i know get behind any home nation team whoever they play unless they play england and I wish the other home nations people would do the same.

We don't deserve to go through, Russia deserve it more than us.

Wrong.
If we draw with/beat Croatia then we deserve to go through seeing as we earnt more points than Russia. Fact.

Lol at that quote above, its just ridiculous. At the end of the day, the 2 teams who have the most points DESERVE to qualify, simple as. So you're telling me that if China and Brazil were battling it out for qualification, and China edged it on goals scored? Oh well, they still qualified, hence they deserved it. Russia don't deserve it, as they blew their chance, when their striker hit the woodwork in the last minute, and Israel went down and scored. Good old ISRAEL. Come on England, 2008 here we come

Haha, I love it! Amazing how a few months ago when i posted a thread about Israel (Myself Israeli) about the news bycott against Israel everyone was like "OH ****!" etc and due to a football it changes.... sad really...

[Cixso]

For those who say England do better with criticism...

Just shut the **** up.

We've had 40 years of it and have we one anything? No?

Hmmm..... I WONDER.

Let me rephrase it

Apart from maybe 5 players, I dont believe the England team at the minute is really deserving to play in that England squad, Is it just me or is it not that in football when you repeatedly have bad games, you make way for someone better to come in and then you train harder to regain your place?

McClaren picks solely on big names, thats why he brought back Beckham who lets face it no longer faces strong enough competition to be able to remain good enough to compete with europes elite.

I'd pay a million pounds to see the look on every English face if they don't qualify.

I support Arsenal aswell. That would just be the icing on the cake. I'd miss a Cardiff match and go see Arsenal if he scored. I'm not watching the England game though. My eyes will be on Germany v Wales in the Commerzbank Arena, Frankfurt.
