Who watched the England match last night, thoughts...

[metaltrader147]

Watched the first 70 mins and then had to go out for a meal as England were winning 2-1.

Looked on my iPhone an hour later and saw that they had won 5-1!!

A sign of a great team is that they win despite playing poorly. Whilst this result hasn't given me any fresh enthusiasm after the Croatia game, I just hope that the team can press forwards and get some stability in their line-up.

Their away tie in Belarus on Wednesday should be a lot trickier for them so lets see how well they fair with that one!

he has seen that the MLS has very low standard!!

Well he could have thought of that before he signed

yes, definately, i thought he is more intelligent!! hehehe

I thought we were lucky we weren't up against a good side or we'd have lost by half time. The first half was rubbish.

How many more times do we have to see Lampard and Gerrard fail as a midfield partnership before someone finally has the balls to drop one of them. Barry should be first choice with one of those 2 alongside him and the other 1 on the bench. Even Capello seems to scared to drop one of these so called star players.

I agree with you Dave, despite winning 5-1 it was embarrassing to watch. The scoreline was very flattering.

Capello might be a successful manager but he'll need to be a miracle worker to win titles with that team.

Problem with England,is we believe we should be ranked amongst the Brazils,Argentinas,Awesome footballing nations,STILL producing awesome players....we are a 2nd rate footballing nation...and the players need to realise that

Since Michael Owen made a name for himself in 98...who have England produced since?
Only 2 players i can think of right now,is Theo Walcott,and Micah Richards...both arent world class,but good players

Once the so called *Golden Generation* Are too old,who the fuck will be in our team? No offence to anyone..but we will end up like Scotland,Wales,Ireland,Northern Ireland......not awful,but not great either

We need more English players in the Premier League....they should make the rule where a certain % have to be English IMO

Lets see how we get on in Belarus tonight....i hope Terry is playing!!!

English football is ruined by sky, pumping so much money into the sport. When or if the 39th game I will simply stop caring about english football. Football was created and played by the working class, now its big business where clubs or organizations like fa cares nothing about the fans.

You've a good point about the Golden Generation Michael. Players are being kept on because there is no good up and coming players to replace them!

gotta blame that on the FA's decision to shut down the "FA school of excellence" at Lilleshall (shropshire).

That produced hunreds of players from Nick Barmby, Sol Campbell, Andy Cole etc thorugh to Michael Owen who was in the schools last year of players. The FA then shut it down saying the clubs academys were doing the job for them so they didn;t need to spend the money on it.

Just the fact that England have not produced any decent players since then shows the FA made the wrong decision.

but what do I care, I'm not English and enjoy it when the English football team struggle
