World Cup 2010 england slaughtered england humiliated england beaten

And I use the lower case e on purpose, as that is all they deserved.

What a diabolical travesty of a game that was and even though some players worked their behinds off, the fact that some members of the team should not have been on the pitch just made it all the more sad, as they just could not do what was called for to defend against the Germans.

I said the other day that the fact fabio capello could not work out the problems they were having worried me and he showed those worries were well founded, as he had to have seen the problems the team were having in their defense. Upson should not have been on that field, as he was out of his depth, and I suppose when it reached the second half and he was still there is the point I gave up and knew we were doomed, along with the manager and the team.
The Manager made some changes that were pointless and were never going to solve the problems and now I hear he is saying I may just sit it out and collect the money from the contract. Even though he knows he has to hold his hands up and take the blame. If the team do not perform then it means you picked the wrong players in the first place.

But that is what happens when you build your team around one player and you suddenly find that player is off their game. Gerard got so tired of passing the ball to Rooney to see it wasted that he tried shooting for goal himself but that went to nothing, as he was trying from the position he was forced into.

And the goal that was but was not. I suppose the Germans will say just deserts for the one of sixty six, but I still feel that in this day and age that in such a major championship that it is making a mockery of the competition, when so many decisions are so blatantly wrong, especially the offside decisions that seem to be so hit and miss.

I don't know I suppose we now have to sit around for another four years and see what the hell they do to mess up the next one. But what annoys the fans so much is that we know they are better than their performance and if it is pressure or tiredness that is making them play so bad then maybe it is time to start moving away from the premiership for the England team, as at least they will enjoy the game and you never know the heart to play factor can turn mice into lions. They can't do any worse than the current selection.

And yes I know I said england would win against Germany in my last post but that was just me being a fan and thinking happy thoughts, and hoping beyond hope that capello knew what he was doing. OK I was wrong, as it seems he does not know his arse from his elbow.

World Cup 2010 England Vs Slovenia

12:10

So England play their final game and all we can do is wait to see if they have fixed the problems the team have been having.

All I can say is good luck lads, and stop reading the damned papers if they bother you that much, most of the British press is owned by foreign companies any how so what they going to want to hear, as you more often than not face their home country.

Well they WON and more importantly showed the spirit that they had been lacking, and even Rooney held onto the ball and ignore the fact he did not get a goal and be thankful he is shooting again. Strikers always miss a few.

it was good to see Capello so buzzing and through that first match side interview, he looked as if he had been running the pitch as a player, as he was so elated.

Congrats to the USA that got through top of the group, I missed the match but it was supposed to be a good show from them.

So now onto The classic England Vs Germany match that the doom merchants have already started their woe is me chants. I don't know if they are right, as this team does have the talent to win if they play to their best ability and if Rooney starts playing the way we know he can, then goodbye Germany.

In reality I think it will be a hard fought game, as the maturity of the England team fights to defeat the youth of the German team and I still think that maturity counts in these sort of games.
If the England team play their own game I see this ending up a 2-1 victory to England, the only problem with that is the Gerard factor, as he is still playing on the left and although he is playing well there, there is no one to take over the first tough goal that he tends to offer when the defence choke the path of the striker. But if Rooney does do what we know he can and Lampard can take that role from Gerard, then add another two goals to the English scoreline.

Well what ever happens then role on Sunday it should be a game worth watching, even though it could be torture I am looking forward to it.
