They have good chances, lets hope that will be at least a good game.

:p

Lampard is the worst player ever i mean teams from africa played better then him.

He had 3 shots at least all were poor. I think Sven-G?ran Eriksson is blind. Take Lampard off!!

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Yeah have to admit that my frustration with Lampard is getting worse with each game. I guess its confidence as he's missing so many that its starting to become a challenge for him to score..

i was gonna say the same thing. about 20 shots in 3 games, with about 8 on goal. ZERO goals. he squandered so many opportunities in the first round, it was embarassing.

watching the highlights from the togo v france match, ribery (sp?), is the same. wasted everything that touched his foot.

yet people kept passing to these two. i'd be as ****ed as rooney was if i never got a touch and lampard got all those and wasted every one. ugh, terrible.

Lennon was great for England when he came on... should have subbed Beckham earlier on IMO, especially if he actually threw up.

[leesmithg]

Lampard cannot start now, if England are going further than this win.

The heat affected the players, referee didn't help, he needs an eye test.

We'd better move up 3 gears or it's going to be home time.

I hope Portugal loses omg I hate them

:no:

What's your problem, with the Portugal team ?!

[Krpano]

i want to see ronaldo cry. for whatever reason, it makes me laugh.

[Romario Brazil]

Each game England proves is only hype.. bah. Beckham still good player and that's all.

It's a shame talk about Lampard one best players of the world..

England = Coward Hyped Team. Beckham is the only good. And.. where Beckham play? not in the Premier League. So, Premier League and England football = crap hyped football.

:laugh:

:rofl: (Y)

I am sorry, but for what I have seen after almost three weeks from England is not promising. In my opinion, England will not get past the next round regardless of who they play, rather it be Portugal or Holland.

Talking about Portugal...Go Portugal!!! :woot:

Its going to be tough but I hope we can pull it off :p

P.S. I do believe the EPL is the best league, but that's besides the point.

Lets stay on topic guys, e.g talking about the EPL

Holland is next :D (I'm nervous)

You should be, we beat you before and we can beat you again :p

[djpnuemo]

i agree. that jab at EPL was totally out of the blue, i don't know what his problem is.

yea, i'm excited about the next game. anything will be better than the last! :)

[L3thal Veteran]

What about Australia?

They are one as well. I just said Ghana because I saw you were from Australia and you were trying to imply they were :p

[Krpano]

I keep saying, the problem with England is the coach.

The players are amazing, J. Cole / Lampard / Rooney / Gerrard / Owen are world class players...I dont like Beckham, he do not worth half the price he has.

I would like to have an opinion from an English about Eriksson's coaching.

I cant believe you like him.

So Rooney and Gerrard are crap :rolleyes:?

I can't believe what FIFA did :no:

FIFA sold 80% of their tickets to the Dutch Federation of football and affiliates to the Dutch team compared to 20% to the Portuguese Federation and affiliates. Why they did that I don't know and they don't explain why.

[Krpano]

^ L3thal, FIFA = Mafia

remember what happened in Italy few time ago ?

(the only diference is that fifa is worldwide)

[L3thal Veteran]

Oh, believe me, I know that FIFA isn't an angel when it comes to being fair to every federation. However, I was just pointing out what they did, which in my perspective, is preposterous and it gives me the feeling they want Holland to progress.

Having said that, I can care less. I am confident we will pull off a win to shut all the Dutch people there up.

[Krpano]

^ im with you.

Vai Portugal !!!

Yeah i mean Rooney is getting abit better per game and i hope he scores :yes:

That game should of been ours by 2goals :cool:

Also is it just me or is lampard going abit bald :rofl: or is it just his hair short. ;)
