This World cup is reminding me of Mike Basset.

Lets not get too downhearted having to beat Slovenia to go through isn't the end of the world!

LOL @ The Mercenary Judas

Sorry but whos Muke Basset ?

It aint their fault that they're no good.

The biggest problem for England is the pi$$ poor midfield. Individually, Gerrard and Lampard are two of the best midfielders in the world, yet as a collective group, the midfield doesn't rank in the top 10 in the tournament. When the defence has the ball, it decides to hoof it up to Rooney or the other striker as the midfield will lose it.

The best English winger is currently on holiday somewhere, when he should be in South Africa. He also has the coveted left foot which England have been searching for for a million years.

The lack of decent strikers that are English is frightening. Rooney isn't fully fit, and he wasn't towards the end of the season, that's why he's playing poorly. However, he is that important for United and England he is forced to play as neither side has anyone else who can do his job. I know he's been poor, but he's still better than the alternatives - if the above mentioned best winger was in the side, Rooney would have scored a few because he would have had some of the service he gets from Valencia at United, therefore his poor performances will be forgotten.

England will get the win against Slovenia, then everything will be all right until they meet Serbia or Germany.

Oh dear. A dumbkopf picking someone up over a mere typo.

Whatever next.

More guff.

He's just embarrassed himself yet again and had to delete another thread. TBH he needs to learn when to button his lip too as it's going to get him into trouble one of these days

What's a dumbkopf ? im not being picky but really it's not hard to spell correctly.

Cmon North Korea

Shut it stupid.

Does Rooney still think he's playing "at home" in South Africa?

At what point is it OK to show disappointment towards the team?

Fabiano's goal was a nice touch of handy ball. Kaka's sending off was a joke. Ivory Coast player should be banned.

Remember Rivaldo doing the same when a ball hit him on the shin, what goes around..

What will booing achieve other than maing the boo boys look like dicks?

Will it make the players want to bust a gut next time round?

Certainly does.

Pfffft dog eating surrender monkeys

I think those who have travelled over there are more than entitled to let the players know how they feel after such a half d display.

Thats me out then...

Only just



I wouldnt mind but at 1 0 N.Korea were not doing too bad !!

7-0

Meh, it was expected. Record for a WC?

That 7-0 win doesn't alter the fact Uruguay have looked the best team in the comp
