thomo Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 They'll be on their Iberian beach by the end of June. They had nothing to show but one good pass by Rooney in the 1st half. As for Terry and Ferdinand...... Perhaps 4 years ago. Good thing Heskey is there to call on when they need a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was still only a last cal,l for the fringe players to stake a claim. Good thing Heskey is there to call on when they need a striker. Yeah that header in an open goal was a sure fire way to claim his spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure England will be much different come the first World Cup game. This is just a training session folks and you still have two weeks to sort yourselves out.

Which dressing room was the happiest after the game do you think? Japan 1-2 Japan. Apparently some Englishmen invaded the pitch and ran around ineffectively for 90 mins.

smokie36 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Best prepare yourself for the worst then as I've never seen England look more disjointed than this afternoon. Maybe taking 30 to the training camp was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A neutral wouldn't come on and gloat when we go 1-0 down. no, gloating would be if i were japanese. as i said, nationality neutral. smiling when england go 1-0 down to japan is like saying 'oh hello' when chelsea go 1-0 down in the cup to rochdale.

vicksajnani Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) Im glad England played ordinary against Japan. There will be less hype. Better than Sven's going all out in the pre wc before running out of steam when World cup starts. And we shouldnt be too worried about Capellos team, he's got plan A,B,C,D all sorted Edited May 31, 2010 by vicksajnani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right singhy. We would take the Euros or even a stab at a playoff would be some relief for our team. I grew up expecting it as our right having qualified for so many successive tournaments 78-90 but its been a long time and sure it hurts like hel_l. As I said before enjoy it but don't think its guaranteed especially with the current and future squad you will have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokrick Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 We can be optimistic as usual, but in my opinion that was one of the worst England performances on record. They should be getting things right at this stage of the game, 2 weeks to go. They looked like they were playing on 'valium', no flare and could not string any passes together. Wish I had have watched F1. Still I have been disappointed since 1966 and I guess that's not going to change in 2010. Cheers, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigm16 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Granted it was'nt our best performance. But apart from the back 4 i dont think this team has ever played together before. And i think this game was just to see if any of the players stood out from the rest, Which i dont think any did. And the people who are saying England wont go very far and not to expect to much, I dont hear anyone going on about the worlds best team and favorites for the world cup Spain needing a last minute header to beat Saudi Arabia. A full strength Spain i might add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Rick Not bad going 4 pages into a Japan V England thread until 1966 was mentioned,might as well mention the war it was that long ago.My hopes are pinned on the commentators that 66 will be mentioned in the fitst 2mins of every England game.Any takers?

Better to go into the tournament with some grit and understanding a need to improve rather than being complacent. I, for one, am happy to let Capello get on with things and he will get the most out of that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
