Here come the excuses. The fact is that the England football team is ****. Technically we are completely inferior to the vast majority of the best countries from Europe and South America, and possibly even some in Africa. We will never win a major tournament again until we learn how to pass and keep the ball probably. Schweinsteiger made Gerrard and Lampard look what they are - two guys who are great at scoring goals, long-range shooting and running around the pitch like headless chickens, but technically inferior and incapable of playing killer passes.
Defensively we were a complete and utter joke - what kind of a team, with a whole 25 minutes left in a match and just one goal down, leaves ONE DEFENDER BACK? I'll tell you what kind of team - England. I was actually hoping that Germany would keep banging in the goals just to make that utter cunt John Terry look worse and worse. It was completely embarrassing - and we will go through this all over again in 2012 until, as a country, we understand that keeping and passing the ball is they key to winning - not pace, strength and stamina.
And as for this business of the Germans 'not being from Germany', this just makes my ***** boil to such an extent that I really should stop typing now for fear that I may say something I might regret. Apparently some people though don't understand the concept of, y'know, being allowed to move and work in other countries.
Good post Steve, says more or less what I think, but the Germans, (Hitler would rage at Poles/Turks and black men in the side) actually did us a favour, god alone knows what the Argies would have done to us, double figures even?
I got slated for posting that they ought to come home after the Algerian game to save us further embarrasment and *********** in a UK national paper, I got slated, as I expected, but to those that slagged me off:thefinger TOLD YOU SO!:thefinger
