*** Official Germany v England Round of 16 thread ***

[david yearsley]

Did anyone see Boating chat alittle with J.Cole after the match? Looked like he said see you at City... :-)

You´d want Cole sfter that

[Mark (Blue Army)]

From what i saw they didnt, no tears , no sitting on their ass with head in hands. Just chatting to the german players saying how good they are.

Im glad they didnt, you only end up upset or on the floor when you give a shit.

[Kiss_The_Goat]

What a disgrace. They should be shot the lot of them. We're shit. We have been all world cup but that was so spineless disorganised and embarrassing!!

At least Boateng looked good.

[Ted Hughes]

Sorry but Capello cannot be blamed for this. The players are responsible and them alone. They didn't play like this in the qualifiers. Since the season finished, they've all finished. They've been fucking abysmal and have been jokers since they broke through. Somebody tell me now, out of Lampard's 70 odd caps, name me one fucking game he's played for England and played well?

Sven, Shteve and Fabio should all be given knighthoods for trying to manage a bunch of over-paid pampered babies.

Who picked these can't be fucked, overpaid, lazy wankers to be in the England team?

One or two aside, who else is there to pick?

It's about time we realised we don't produce top class players anymore. Rooney is the best we've got, future wise we only seem to have AJ, and he only has potential. You could see in Rooney straight off that he was definitely going to be top class. AJ has potential, but he's going to have to put a lot of work in.

AJ aside though, there's little else to pick. Football is broke in England, it has been for at least 10 years now. We all know it, we've been complaining for years. That those players there today are the very best we have is something we should be concerned about, not rail against the poor cunt who's got to manage a poor representation of the biggest football industry in the world.

Capello picked the best of what we've got. That they've failed tournament over tournament, the reasons for that should be pretty obvious now, 3/4 managers down the line.

Crouch & Dawson for a start.

The players have been shit & most should now be retired but it shouldn't be papered over how badly Capello has also done. The fact that he was bringing on Heskey as the 3rd went in is a sackable offence on it's own. He lost it completely. He has to go & we have to start bulding a workmanlike team for the next World Cup. Forget the Euros, build a TEAM for the future.

[Ted Hughes]

Harry's talking sense on tv now & it's showing up Capello's efforts imo.

[crossan]

Without our foreign club players around us we are crap................fact,they are all second rate overpaid shite and now hopefully the media will give it to them with both barrells..golden generation,foreign managers crap,crap,crap.

You cant blame Capello for that. That was down to the players. They're a disgrace. And Rooney is hilariously bad. Never scored at a world cup!

I agree with all that to be honest. Dawson should've been playing from game 1.

I think he should go, because he isn't a bloke to build anything anymore. He's the wrong man for the job we're going to need to do. Everything needs addressing from ground up, football is a shambles these days in England.

[Crossie]

All went wrong as soon as the squad was picked.

Needed johnson and Wallcott for pace on the wings to change games. Losing Ferdinand didnt help, but now we need Gerrard, Lampard, Heskey and Terry to fuck off and retire from internationals, and use the next 2 years to build up and coach the up and coming players how to play AS A FUCKING TEAM.

Problem is we pick the best 11 players from the best 5 or 6 clubs, we still arent picking the best TEAM.

The Germans made football look easy today, well done, they slaughtered us, and I hope they go far. I respect them because as much as history says we should hate them, they fucking know how to get things done, and done right.

[CuteMancs]

This is so depressing, I am going back to thinking with my cock and what I could do to those German boys. Lets face it the England team are fucked anyway !

Although, I do like drinking at 8am :)

Agree but we know we're going to be watching the same bunch of twats in the Euro qualifiers don't we? Whatsmore they'll probably play 10 times better until they get there then do it again.

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

Germany were better side on the day. England need to stop relying on one or two players carrying them and start playing as a team from now on.

I just remembered the FA changing his contract to now say if he gets sacked, he gets a big payout. That happened just before the World Cup.

They can't afford to sack him. Hmmm.

[CityGer]

I'm surprisingly calm about that. It was inevitable. I said after the Algeria game that my overiding feeling was indifference as I was sure that as soon as we met a decent side, we'd be on our way.

Terry and Upson were disgraceful, I mean that. An absoloute disgrace. Micah and Ned would have done a far better job. The ease at which Germany opened us up was hard to take in.

Gerrard was and Rooney were terrible, Rooney especially so for all round piss poor effort and Gerrard for getting all 'roy of the rovers' and shooting at every opportunity with no quality what so ever.

Barry was shite. Got dragged forward far too often when he should have been doing his job. Left us terribly exposed, I've never seen him perform as irresponsibly.

Lampard was just lampard.

As for Johnson, I said on Monday that I didn't think he was fully fit, I stand by that. If he is, he wants to pack footbal in now.

Bunch of gutless cunts. I hope they get an awful reception when they arrive home.

Fucking awful, I'm almost glad we got this out of the way now.

Agree about Johnson he looked like he was struggling but Ashley Cole also looked wrong.

They should all have rotten fruit thrown at them when they get back.

see if rooney has the balls to open his mouth then the cheeky fat bastard!

[Douglas Higginbottom]

It and they were so bad it isn't worth posting about. DOH!

[Ted Hughes]

Stan Collymore is blaming James Corden on the radio now.

[Chinners]

Fair play to the Germans, far better side one irrespective of our second goal

[CityGer]

I don't agree but I have no problem with this.
