BRISTOL86 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 When was the last time an England team weren't pretty pathetic? Could it be that no matter who is holding the cloth, you can't polish a turd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coach Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 3 minutes ago, Phileas Fogg said: Well kind of, but not as much since 2006. I think from 2010 onwards we've seen ourselves as a quarter final team not a contender. I really thought we could (and perhaps should) have won Euro 2004. Obviously world cups much harder. Since 06 I think we've had a worse crop of players. The age group from 16-21 is genuinely quite exciting - including Abraham. Problem is people see the strength of the PL in England, and compare that to the England National Team. Unfortunately, there is no correlation showing that a strong PL should then include a strong National side. All the best talent in the PL are overseas as we all know. People need to come to terms that England aren't on par with the likes of Spain, Italy etc. But are more on par with teams like Sweden, Russia, and Croatia. Even the likes of Belgium and Uruguay are better than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have laboured to a few chances. Not seen the goal, but from the thread comments, sounds like Rashford had a 'mare. It looks like I won't be staying up to 23.45, which is the time the game finishes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over hyped yet again and the reality is we're absolute bollocks. £50m for walker and it's only his pace gets him out of trouble, his positioning for a full back is shocking . How the **** Henderson is a international I'll never know. England=bang ******* average . Bring back the mighty reds and the championship . Club before country Buzzing to listen to the crying pundits if England lose slamming the team. It's like such a huge surprise when we fail to them, not sure why?

Sweeneys Penalties Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Southgate said he wanted the fans to be excited. I haven't been excited about watching England since Euro '96.... 20 years and counting.

I'd fancy us to beat them but would be a tough game. I see your point though - I think we're at little better than that though and are in a second tier of European sides occupied by the likes of Belgium. Some teams like Italy seem to make hard work of qualifying but are a very good tournament side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
