England/Croatia thread

[Colchester Kev]

Remember Poland & Jan Tomaszewski ... Half of me wants England to cruise tonight, but half wants us to go out so maybe we can get rid of the shower of shit that runs English football and the manager.

And replace them with what?

As for the game i think it will be tight and we will win by the odd goal 1-0 or 2-1.

I don't mind Ian Wright he is supporting the national team and gets quite worked up about it, abit like myself. If i wasn't English i accept he may be quite annoying.

people in touch with the real world would be a start, its high time football was wrenched from the hands of the prawn sandwich brigade and handed back to the people.

As for Wrighty, I love it when he gets passionate and tells it how it is, makes a refreshing change from people trying to be polittically correct and telling the viewing public a crock of shit just because its the right thing to say ... at least Wrighty gives it straight.. if we play crap, he says we were crap... he doesnt make excuses and try to pass it off any other way.

England 2-0 down at half time come back to draw 2-2 in one of the most sensational games seen for years!!!!

The thing is, that's all he offers - he has no tactical insight. He can work well as an entertaining clown at half-time in a dull England game (as most of them are) but if there are actually interesting things to talk about he quickly becomes a pain in the neck. And if SWP scores then no one else gets a look-in.

I loved the footage of him up on the gantry wrapped in an England flag a couple of years back, great stuff!!
Also the footage of Trevor Francis going apes**t in the studio when England scored, good to see these people actually acting like the rest of us

1-1 with england to go ahead then croatia to get something gammy at around 80minutes making it a horrible last 10. MARK MY WORDS.

Please, not another night like that. It was so painful.

1-0 and boring footie with scarey moments is my prediction.

"left turn to negative town"

Seriously?

[scotty2hatty]

Did I pretend to hear the booing during the Croatian anthem and then Motson claiming that the Croatians were happy with the respect being shown?

[Robert HM]

bugger 0-1
