Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
I was expecting something more from England since the first game... Was a terrible WC not only as a team but their stars individually... Rooney playing like this, injuried or not, says it all... Before the WC get started we all thought about Rooney being one of the most important players of this tournament, one the best players in the world.. Harmless throughout the tournament
Germany destroyed the weak british defense and goalie, with Ozil (one of the best players so far) and Muller on fire...
Referees are a fucking disgrace, they can not have this huge mistakes.. Usa, England, Argentina, Chile.. You never know how things would go if those stupids do their job correctly...
GO ARGENTINA next Saturday!

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
oh trust me, England have a lot more problems than a goal that was not given, I'm not that naive to think anything but that
Rooney I think is still not 100% after his ankle injury, and is playing out of position
Lampard and Gerrard can NOT coexist, I have been saying this and still believe it
We are no where near as good as a "team" as we are on club level with our domestic clubs
We still are in search of a true number 1 (James is nothing more than a band aid whilst we look for one)
1st goal aside, very amateurish, when you're pressing for goals, there are going to be massive gaps and the counter was played to perfection, but even still we looked old and slow
Beckham being there was a joke, lol
All this showed is there are major holes to fill ASAP.. there are really no players on that squad that strike fear into the hearts of any opponent
Lennon, Milner, SWP etc.. decent at club level, no where near talented enough to compete with the worlds best
Lampard, Gerrard, Terry.. by next world cup will be past their prime
Still no goalie that I feel 100% confident on putting out there, hopefully Green or Hart can step up before Euro 2012, or soeone else will come out of the wood work, or maybe we can get a U.S. keeper to change citizenship :-\Leave a comment:

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
It could all have been different but... really... not trying to piss anyone off or anything, because I love English football, so Iīm almost as disappointed as any other England fan, still I think some things have to be said :
1. Rooney didnīt show up in South Africa.
2. Who the f*** is Heskey??
3. Iīm sorry, but who the f*** is Barry and why insist on him coming from injury when you have Carrick?? The guy had no rhythm and pace at all, itīs like he was playing a different game all along!
4. Even if that Lampard shot had counted, cīmon, Englandīs defense was miserable! A goal from a goal kick straight into Klose? Amateurish! 3 goals where opposing strikers appear completely unmarked dropping in from the flanks? Terrible.
5. In what state is English national football, to get to a point where a guy like Beckham is kind of a moral reserve? Why was that douchebag on the bench? Please donīt tell me that BECKHAM, I repeat BECKHAM, was supposed to be there to inspire the others?? To be looked up to?? Nigga please...Leave a comment:

Go GERMANY!!!! for the sole reason that I'm sick and tired of seeing fat maradona molest everyone on the side linesLeave a comment:

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
I'm just saying, the complexion of the game changes.. after that goal we immediately came back down and hit the cross bar.. we wouldn't have been pressing to come back from 2 or 3 goals down, and the counter MAY NOT have been as effective.. not making excuses, Germany exploited the lack of shape and made us pay dearly, as I would expect them to
I'm not a fan of out and out replay either, which is why I suggested utilising the extra official
or, they already have camera in the nets.. why not use themLeave a comment:

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
it would have been 4-2 instead of 4-1 ??????
Despite all those very valid points, i'm still not keen to have video replay introduced. I think its a slippery slope to stopping the flow of the game. Someone, somewhere, suggested having an extra linesman for goal line duty only in major tournaments - i personally would prefer that option.
It was pretty outrageous that the goal was missed, it wasn't even close (like the US goal), or at high speed (like the French handball).Leave a comment:

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
congrats to Germany.. all this talk about how young they are needs to stop though, they all (mostly) play on top european clubs, don't make it out like they've never played in high pressure matches
I'm not at all saying the outcome would have been different had that goal been ruled correctly, but fucks sake FIFA needs to have a look at what's going on here
1. France gets in to the tournament through a blatant hand ball, which had it been caught would not only have disallowed the goal, but would have at least been a yellow card
2. USA gets screwed out of two goals for no reason whatsoever other than bad officiating, or, "human error"
3. England loses a goal that was easy 3 feet behind the line, with the linesman looking directly at the goal
4. Tevez scores a goal when he is at least 2 yards offside
5. Chile gets a man sent off when contact with Torres (if there was any at all) was clearly incidental
I don't know if it needs to be video replay, another official, or utilise the fourth official for something else beside holding up a fucking sign with numbers on it
Again, Germany were obviously the better team, but you have to wonder how different the match could have been if it got to 2-2Leave a comment:
