bobby dazzler Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Just one other all week press pundits have been saying Rooney is still our best player if that's the case we are f....d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji Shooter Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Did anyone know that Cahill actually played and touched the ball. Never heard his name once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Ah well. Nevermind, eh. Pleased I didn't waste my time watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 In truth we played much better than I expected, but just the same Italy always seemed more likely to than us. Not a good start and no doubt our future will be in others hands now, assuming of course we can get a result from our next two games! Oh dear!

Gordon R Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Roy forgot to mention to Wayne Rooney, that Leighton Baines was the left full back. One decent pass from Wayne - possibly a miskick - and yet another headless chicken display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning 425 clay hunter Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Same old England. We all get caught up in the hype then after the first game the realisation were carp sets in. Costa Rica who were supposed to be 'whipping boy' of the group could be a tougher game than Uruguay. I feel just getting out of the group stage could be too much of an ask at the minute.

motty Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 England didn't press the ball high up the pitch. Watch Italy's second goal again, easily avoided if we tried to win the ball from the right back. Gerrard, Rooney and Henderson were largely anonymous and why did Wilshere get brought on? Roy needs to think again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Apparently when the team got off the plane the pilot was overheard asking Roy if he should leave the engine running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I thought it was the best England performance for quite some time. Italy are no mugs and will do well in the competition. There was definitely something wrong with the left back/left half coverage (which led to the goals), but I don't think it was Wayne Rooney's fault. Phil Neville was a disaster,dull flat voice speaking in four word sentences. With the top class sports talent available to the BBC (much better than ITV) , I can't believe he got the job. Surely he must have had an audition, perhaps they thought he was Gary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I hope England do well but there's obvious concern in a few areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy came out from the back with ease, something they didn't let us do. The young guns must ALL be on from the start against Uruguay. If we're going out, let's go out all guns blazing!

Gunman Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I wonder if there is a football supporters forum where discussion may turn to the new Hatsan or Beretta auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Phil Neville was the most shockingly monotone commentator i have ever heard.As for the football,well deserved for Italy but England on the counter played some good stuff which could have got them a point.Pirlo was different class and the England midfield pretty poor.

lakeside1000 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 2-1 Italy Great prediction hope you had some money on it, I told the wife 2-1 or 3-1 to Italy but she didn't believe me, I think we've got a good squad , lets hope they get a bit more into the goal area for the next two matches, wouldn't be good to go out in the first round.

Fisherman Mike Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Pirlo was amazing...cant believe how much ground he covered and why no one was assigned to mark him a little closer... he seemed to have so much time on the ball. Didn't you just know though that Mario was going to come back and haunt us and score a goal against us We did play well, but to be blunt I don't think we can improve much. That said, with a bit more luck we could have had a couple before the Ities finished their linguini. Shame Terry couldn't be coaxed out of international retirement, Cahill looks week. I really cannot see us winning a game.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack-ack Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I think they need to kick the football harder, alot harder! Nobody likes getting smashed square in the gonads by a high velocity inflatable projectile. Sven needs to have a word with the team and perhaps move hoddle and dixy dean up front. Sorted!

Pastiebap Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Rooney is a waste of space. And as for Gerrard, what a load of ****, i've seen cripples stay on their feet more, drop him and play Frank the Tank. And as for the singing of the anthem, I could mumble louder than some of them ***. On the plus side though, what a fiery display by Sturridge, Sterling and Welbeck, completely up for it and definitely the future. Roy just needs to have the guts to bin Rooney and Gerrard.
