Italy's performance showed our bunch of overhyped players for what they really are. I reckon Gerard and Beckham might have made the bench, I dont think a single Englishman would make the starting eleven. The Italians showed higher skill levels, tactical awareness, especially ball retention and infinitely more bottle

If you are taking your practice penalties against Paul Robinson, you are in for a shock when you face a keeper with a clue.

You rang my bell? 156726[/snapback] Hey everybody, RobW rang Meenzers bell. fnargh fnargh

Cannot believe anybody could be bothered to mention this

Fantastic game, I really enjoyed it. I thought I was going to want the Germans to win, but found myself right behind the eyeties. They sure know how to win agame of football

I saw the Who live in 1980 at the Lewisham Odeon. Very possibly the most boring concert I ever went to. If it hadnt been for the ongoing near riot between the aging rockers and the new breed of mods inspired by the Jam and Quadrophenia I would have probably managed to sleep through the whole thing. Self satisfied pompous cock rock at its worst

Medina?

I agree that we have some good players btw. Its a shame that none of them stepped up and acheived greatness.

And still, inspite of the compelling evidence to the contrary, you still going beleiving the hype about how good our players are. 155765[/snapback] We have got some good players though, especially Gerrard and Rooney as well as the likes of Ashley Cole, Terry and Joe Cole. Sven should have utilised them better. I'm not one of these people who thinks England are fantastic and should win the WC or Euros but, when you look at the teams in the last four, it's frustrating because the teams left in are beatable. Germany aren't technically in the same class as the Argentinians but they could win it and they've played much more attractive football than England have. 155766[/snapback] Germany have the technical part of taking a penalty fairly well sorted. (including Owen Hargreaves)

The golden generation are just as overhyped as any previous bunch of England players. We will always be caught out at international level until we progress technically and stop believing the guff about how good we are, and acheive the same level of basic technical skill as the true good international teams. Apart from 1966 we have got to a grand total of one semi-final. We just arent as good as we think we are

I reckon you are right, I think he will run into form tomorrow. He has been poor but I just hve a feeling tomorrow will be his day 154880[/snapback] Well I got that one well and fucking truly bang on didnt I 155691[/snapback] Same as when you backed Sven for taking Walcott and only one other fully fit striker 155697[/snapback] I cant think of any point when a.n.other striker would have made it onto the pitch, so that point is fairly moot

On the other hand

This might get a bit lively

Isnt every Goldfrapp song about cocaine?

Bit of a no lose situation this one for me. I will get immense pleasure from whichever team goes out. I probably want Germany to win, just for the possiblilty of playing them in the final, but I cant imagine feeling dissapointment if they lose. I am really looking forward to the game

Now I cant see how it can be Sven's fault that all of a sudden Frank Lampard couldnt score in a brothel with 500 quid sticking out of his shirt pocket. And if Fat frank had stuck a couple away the perception of the team would be completely different. I also think its funny that whenever a foreigner signs everybody says wait till it gets a bit cold then we will see how good he is, but English players cant possibly be expected to play when its hot
