...who says England could beat the US in SOCCER?

[El Kabong]

Well, well, well CROATIA just handed it to you, you poor guys and now JOSE is being talked about as your next manager?!?!?!


I have a few questions:

#1 during heavy rain or shortly after can't a match be postponed or even called off for another day?

#2 Doesn't Sir Alex Furgusson seem like a better fit as manager of ENGLAND seeing how he's from there and is a fucking knight?

#3 Wouldn't guys on the England team who also play for Chelsea be reluctant to play for Jose again?

#4 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....YOU SUCK!

[Tito BHB]

Lol, England under twenty ones would beat a side of 21 americans at soccer lyle my man

Lol.. Croatia are real good.. And we did suck the other night.. But our strongest side are the same side that are probably about 5 best in the world and came too close to beating brazil this year

Just missing out on euro 08 doesnt make america any better, or make them anywhere near bieng able to beat us in a match

HAARRRRRR :P

[El Kabong]

....our U-21's could beat a lot of regular teams!


The US is very good and honestly we have to thank Bruce Arena for holding us back for so damn long!

We can beat you in a match....when was the last time we played?

I know Croatia is good but all you had to do was tie.....that's fucking sad

[superheavyrhun]

I do.

[El Kabong]

I do.

.....and you are?

So how bummed out by that match were you guys? I'm surprised the coach made it out of that stadium alive the way you Brits go on about your "footie"

[superheavyrhun]

Well, being Welsh, I did have a little bit of a grin about it during the match, but I thought that after Crouchy got us back on terms we deserved to hang on for that. However, Croatia showed passion and desire to win a game which they didn't have to win and will have proved a point to world football.

Engalnd just provided repeated failures during the qualifying process and didn't overall deserve to qualify. On the other hand, it will be a really weird European Champs without any teams from the British Isles competing there next year.

[El Kabong]

I am sure it will be weird....so is it basically a lock that Germany and Italy will play in the finals?

I am surprised no one answered my questions....I figured anyone bringing up Jose Muhrino's (or however the fuNk you spell that guy's name) would get responses considering how he left Chelsea.

And why isn't Fergusson's named being mentioned as coach considering he coaches one of the more storied franchises in England

[Tins06]

Ferguson manages Man United one of the best club teams in the world he aint going nowere..
besides what sane man would want to manage england...can you imagine the pressure

Your life goes under a microscope.

And Mourinho is going to a club in italy i think.

[El Kabong]

Well why would England not want the best coach? Mourinho didn't so much coach at Chelsea as he just put 11 damn good players out there and said "go score goals".

England has a ton of talent but the guys just can't play together, it's a shame

[Mark TKO]

Lyle , you're a good bloke, but less of the you suck stuff please. It's very serious for footie fans in England at the moment.

ferguson wouldn't manage England and the fans wouldn't want him. He is Scottish and we know deep down he has no time for England - he never played ball a lot of the time when it came to using his Man U players in friendlies.

i agree the team has too many egos - and Mourinho is the man to handle those egos

The chelsea players were devastated when Mourinho went - apart from Shevchenko. The guy commands respect.

Next summer is going to be awful for the English footie fans but maybe something good will come from this failure - we need to look where it's going wrong. If a player isn't motivated to play for his country and give his all then regardless of who he is or how good he is - he don't play for his coountry. Simple as that

Come on Mark, you can't have a go at Lyle for stating what he perceives, and what many people will perceive to be the truth, which is that England do suck at present. And compared with the usual performances of qualifying for the major competitions, you have to say they do. But it is relative, and I'd still back them to win a one-off game against the US.

[El Kabong]

See someone finally answers my question....ok SAF is a Scot, CC to you sir


Hey I'm American I'm used to watching good teams under perform due to bad coaching or selfish play (we have that more in basketball though which I guess is more similar to your situation).....I'm sorry if it sounds a bit harsh at the moment but nothing is gained by sugar coating the result. If you play the victim role now the players will start playing that role anytime they have a bad game. People need to be accountable for the lack of success and firing the manager was a step in the right direction.

England's players and fans will learn a lot from watching this year's matches and in the end they'll want it more and play with some fucking heart.

Well, well, well CROATIA just handed it to you, you poor guys and now JOSE is being talked about as your next manager?!?!?!


I have a few questions:

#1 during heavy rain or shortly after can't a match be postponed or even called off for another day?

#2 Doesn't Sir Alex Furgusson seem like a better fit as manager of ENGLAND seeing how he's from there and is a F****** knight?

#3 Wouldn't guys on the England team who also play for Chelsea be reluctant to play for Jose again?

#4 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....YOU SUCK!

I don't even watch soccer i think it sucks i don't mind watching it if England are doing well in World Cup but other than that i think its crap game and the players get way too much money for doing nothing.

Come on Ice...you have to admit that it is a game where players have to have a great degree of skill and accuracy, and I'm sure there are those football fans who can't understand how boxers get millions of pounds forjust standing a ring and hitting some other guy. All about perspective .....
