The England Thread

[Liquidator 5,176]

Can't wait for us to get a draw/win against Montenegro and the English media to have their customary international break wankfest about how we are genuine contenders for the World Cup because we beat one of the worst international teams on the planet. Bullshit are we.

[Shogun 721]

So Ferdinand and Cahill are ruled out for the match vs Montenegro so Steven Taylor is stepping in. Good riddance to Ferdinand, a disgrace - England don't need an old man like him anyways. Cahill is not a loss England needed, but Taylor has that passion to succeed in an england shirt. My team:

Foster

Smalling - Caulker - Taylor - Cole

Parker - Lampard

Rooney

Walcott - Sturridge - AOC

Baines is better an Cole.

*Awaits onslaught*

Happens every time...its Englands year!This is the team who will win the World Cup..despite it being more or less the same as last time.While we are getting 'better' the likes of Spain,Holland,Germany etc are miles ahead..then shock horror we loose or go out on pens...

So the Belgian national thread is much busier then this one, do we have to much time on our hands?

I think it's because right now the Belgium squad has so many great young players, its exciting... for us England fans the only world class youngsters we have right now is probably Wilshere.

It also doesn't help that we're playing teams like San Marino...

Don't get me wrong though, i love supporting England, nothing better than a whole nation supporting one team.

Nothing wrong with what you said, both great LBs.

Sadly we don't get that in this country.

Don't know how you can say that after we've just beat an established European side 8-0. I don't see who can challenge us now, before the weekend I said Finland but they couldn't even beat Spain so they've got no chance.

Come on guys, I am feeling...

Back to the old glory days of 1966, no one can stop you now!

That's the spirit, i even have England shirts while i don't have any Belgian ones, so overseas you got my support

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Englands XI for tonight is laughable. A starting lineup that includes Lescott, Smalling, Cleverley and Milner isn't going to strike fear into the heart of anyone.

[edetarod 2,155]

what about captain fantastic and the white Pele, surely they can lead the three lions to glory

[CHOULO19 24,332]

*Awaits onslaught*

Don't think many people can argue with you there at the moment. Cole is probably slightly better defensively but what Baines offers offensively is immense.

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Cleverley over Frank? Hodgson has lost it...

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Gerrard-Carick-Milner-Cleverly

Wow, that's a strong midfield....said no one

True lol.

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

I have never seen a worse start to a football match than Cleverys against montenegro

[Liquidator 5,176]

if only I could almost bring myself to give a fuck about this bunch of consistent under-achievers
