My national pride means I still hope England will win the World Cup. Yes a world cup for any nation.
However methinks England sits on its laurels whereas other countries without our great footballing heritage show us a clean pair of heels. The lads played no better than a bunch of folk down the old reccie.
I hope Fabio gives his salary back if we don't beat them next Wednesday.
PS Haven't we got any good team managers that are English.?
I can see Beckham giving it a go within a few years, he was never much of a striker IMHO, but he always had a nack for getting the ball where it needed to be, and letting the others run around
Thats coz hes a midfielder

Seriously though,before the tournament started i genuinly thought england had a great chance of winning the world cup....but my one way ticket to outer mongolia is on hold... after the two games i've seen.... they have no chance. Spain,Argentina,Brazil,Holland and Germany would all rip them to pieces.
In my opinion capello should drop rooney and go with defoe and crouch up front with joe cole on the wing,that would provide service,speed and height.
The camera cut to capello at one point,seemingly asking stuart peirce for advice.......peirce shrugged his shoulders as if to say i havnt a clue boss.
Did anyone listen to the aftermatch analysis on talk sport?
Stan Collymore and that complete F*^!*@g T*^t Adrian Durham were going MENTAL!!!! As a Scot,i was in tears of laughter,mainly coz i had heard tha tripe Durham was spouting pre-tounament......hate the guy
