So England manage to scrape a win in their first game. nice.
But how shit did they play in the second half? At one point I wanted to run over to Frankfurt and grab Ashley Cole and shake him and say ‘WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, YOU TWO-BIT TOSSER!!!!!!!’
And Hargreaves is unbelievably useless. USELESS I say.
Crouch was my man-o-the-match by far.
i thought crouch was shite tbh, did fuck all second half, waste of space as was owen. we need rooney soon!
lol was walking around Durham city and from the noise in the pubs you’d think we’d won the world cup. Turns out we beat Paraguay, who to my admittedly limited knowledge of football, aren’t exactly hot favourties to win.
Go us, whooohooo etc…

Yeah, calling him my man-o-the-match is just calling him the best of a bad bunch.
After watching Sweden & Trin, we should cruise the group though.
–BRING ON WALCOTT–
I watched about 20 minutes of the first half before I went and sat outside and had a beer, it was that exciting.
On the plus side though, Argentina v Ivory Coast was a good game later on. In fact, other than the 2 games in Englands Group it’s not been a bad World Cup so far.
Erm on an optimistic note, maybe Svens just getting them to do enough to win, it ain’t pretty but hopefully they will have enough ‘gas in the tank’ when it’s necessary.
Realistic note – England scraped a shambolic, luck based win against a team that was probably training with an inflated goats testicle on a dust pitch, with random gunfire raining overhead while using burnt out ladas for goalposts a mere 2 weeks ago.
Pesomistic note – Cancel ya Sky subscription now before the rush.

No, but that first game against Paraguay was almost as boring as cricket….. 😆

did you watch theTrinidad and Tobago v weden match, awesome game, sweden failing to get a win against ten men of T&T, in fact T&T only neeeded one man, shakur “god” Hislop, he was awesome. The match was one of the best of the tournametn.
england din’t win in style, so what, they won, remember it quantity not quality in football, a win is a win is a win is a win.
TBH I’d rather they scare themeselves in the opening stages than breeze past the opposition, it gives the youngstrers a chance to experience pressure and our defence was unbreached all match and that is a positive (look at Germany winning, but letting in two goals, I would be more worried if that was the case with England). The point about the goal was that England with Crouch and owen and Ferdinand in the box, and with Beckham crossing from the free kick, forced the mistake from the Paragyuan captain, good job done.
And if one wishes to look at other recent sporting events/competitions that England have come out winners, look no further thann the 2003 World Cup winning England side from the rugby, started off in pretty bad shape in the group stages, but played their best when necessary, including in the Final, or look at the Ashes, LOST the first test against Australia, then went on to win the series.
The constant stream of criticism is beyond me. OK they didn’t play their best, but we won and THAT is what counts.
There is no such thing as a poor team now in the World Cup, if anyone thinks any different then there smucks!
I am sick of the excuses England always seems to come out with, first it was the fitness, now the heat, come on guys! Lampard and Gerrard cannot play together, Owen is slow and way off what he used to play like, Crouch – well need I say it! (Hyped) And yes, a win is a win, but we won by a lucky own goal and if we played a team of better quality and skill, then the outcome, I think, would have been different! Answer is – Rooney makes England tick, without him we dont!
