If Owen Hargreaves can make the world cup squad...


Chris

Recommended Posts

Rooney is a genius on the pitch and a true world-class player, but one with a temper which needs calming. I guess we can only hope he learns a la Beckham vs Argentina in 1998.

 

For now, I don't think England were ever good enough to win the trophy anyway. Far too many flaws in squad selection and tactics, and players not raising their game to the occasion. Good individuals yes, but not enough cohesion.

Rooney has that side to him but it also when he uses it correctly it makes him the great player he is.

 

Ronaldo SHOULD be banned for the headbut before the kick off mind you.

how can he learn? Against Northern Ireland he lashed out, against Spain he was taken off because he was losing it, his sarcastic applause in the Champions League. He's had plenty of time to learn and he's ignoring it, but I just want to see people blame Ronaldo. I mean the tactics were crap, the squad selection was crap, several players didn't perform (and in some cases have never performed at international level) but it's the English way to find a scapegoat rather than facing up to the reality that they weren't up for the job.

yeah he should, then maybe we should start sending people off when their heads collide when jumping for a header. If you think that that was a sending off every game would be abandoned due to no players being on thepitch.

I've said it for months if not years now but Lampard is overrated. Gerrard IS NOT a genius, Beckham is not a winger, Sven is a total and utter fool, Rio is not as bad as a defender as people like to say he is but most of all...

 

Professional Football is not a patch on Non-league

That was Figo who should have been done for the headbut. Another case of the great fifa rules.

but you'r perfectly happy to shift the blame to Ronaldo. Great logic there...


Never said it was all Ronaldo's fault. What I don't like is dirty fouling tatics in order to gain an advantage over your opponents.

True - it is the English way. The newspapers will have a field day. But I for one appreciate that things were wrong pretty much from the day Sven picked the squad. Then came the tactics, none of which really worked.

 

Rooney can learn - he will have to. But it didn't help that he was isolated up front on his own and that comes down to tactics again.

 

And I don't blame Ronaldo for England's downfall, but I don't think you can blame people for hating him after his play-acting and trying to persuade the referee to send Rooney off. I for one would pay good money to see Rooney or Red Nev deck him <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

He didn't. The ref had given the free kick and that was that until Rooney pushed him away and got his dumb retarded [****!!****] sent off..

I dug this post up to show that you know f*** all about football Chris, i reckon Hargreaves was our bet player and you should hang up your boots.

Rooney should refuse to play with him.And where are you Chris i would like you to apologise for being a twat.

 

Roger, you can piss off:

 

A) It was said toungue in cheek

B) why the frig are you calling me a twat - what have I ever done to you???

 

We are all inititled to our opinions and i'm glad that Owen Hargreaves proved me wrong. He was without doubt our best player.

 

Also with the amount of crap you come out with at Slough games about our players, the trust and the club you are in no position to have a pop at me when you know [****!!****] all yourself.

I'm gutted because I had convinced myself over the last 48 hours that it was going to be an England Germany final. Not matter what happens now it will be a case of if only.

 

Much as I love Lampard, he has not really done it for England and I thought he should have been taken off when Rooney was sent off.

 

Interesting that the whole 4 striker thing has come up in a game where ended up with ten men. It did not matter because we were never going to go for it. Walcott must be thrilled though to be the water boy.

 

Hargreaves had a good game but it was interesting choice to pick him in the first place. If Carrick is worth 15 million does that make him worth 25?
