The Official England Thread-The Team We All Support [Vol 2]

[Gandahar]

We got beaten when we played well and now we are being beaten when we are playing like we have for countless tournaments.

Perhaps there is a corner post in the stone somewhere that a young striker called Arthur can pull out and save the land from the curse that has lived over us for all these years?

Tonight we just cannot keep the ball.

Even a draw is not going to be wonderful. So we need 2 goals. Actually we need 3 or 4 goals just to say to everyone we are in the top division.

Good goal by that man in the tight fitting top.

Think it's time for RH to just go for it and let the kids loose.

I really wanted Rooney to prove me wrong but he hasn't.

Sterling is being marked out the game.

we aren't working all over the pitch.

Take Rooney, Gerrard and baines off, Get Shaw, Barkley and lallana on.

Let me be the first to say in here... Rooney is st!

Thank you.

Can you boys not think of anything else to say, he is the only player that looks like scoring.
Always looking for an excuse and blame someone other than we are just not good enough......
Why blame one player, shocking all those jumping on the band wagon and blaming Rooney.
Was it not Gerrard who lost the ball in midfield, who missed the ball and let Suarez in for his goal, oh yes but it's all because Rooney ain't good.
Oh dear..........

[trooperiziz]

Next manager will be chosen in a reality based talent show on ITV, mark my words.

[Lincsblokey]

Henderson hamstrung by having to cover baines, leaving gerrard outnumbered, rooney just being rooney, welbeck atrocious, get rooney off, berkley on, and revert to how we set up late on against italy

[GloverMart]

For me, Rooney has the next 45 minutes to save his international career. If we lose, that is it and we can use someone else for the final group game.

As someone else said, Suarez had a knee op a month ago and he looks fitter than Rooney. It's all about desire.

Pretty much spot on, tho being Scottish I hope Roy doesn't change it

He can run around as much as he likes, and come close as much as he likes, unless he puts it in the back of the net, he might as well not be there.

If someone offered England to be able to match Spain for results in the opening two games, you'd have taken it!

[smn159]

We're going to get done by two or three here

[fathomfive]
