***england vs ireland***

[Alioune DVToure]

Other than the Euro bumming, haven't Trap's results been pretty good? If so, why is he under constant pressure?

[dick dastardley]

players that should be no where near an england team johnson, cahill, jagielka, lampard (age), rooney (past sell by date) sturridge carrick, and walcott.
pretty much all the team plsyin tonight!!!!!

His football can be mind numbing. He does well with the players he has but that's his biggest criticism over here

[Nickyboy]

Just get Milner, Rodwell & Lescott on quickly to rescue this bunch of donkeys

[clawbaggio]

Joe just done his usual and booted the ball into touch

[Original Dub]

By God that's shocking defending

Even so, they should beat this Irish team despite their team spirit and organisation.

Guy miss whole ball :)

That's the issue. I think of the England I know and its a rich creative and thoughtful mix of interesting and challenging perspectives in art, music, architecture, politics and dare I say it even cuisine.

And yet the England setup reflects nothing of modern England. Like a snow globe trapped in 66. The US will win a world cup before england do again.

Lampard lucky to get the ball for the goal but as they say, you've gotta be in it to win it.

Cahill and Jagielka though? Not impressed.

vastly overrated england are. their ranking flatters them

[Cit.revenge]

England look decent at best for now , Ireland is on same level.

[bigblue]

no wonder shrek wants out of the swamp. he looks like he won't be able to get a game next year of he stays

[littlebig]

Good game so far. Can Ireland keep up the intensity? Long looks good

[Yffi_88]

i reckon we should go in for Oxlaide-Chaimberlain in the summer. Simply for the shirt printing money! FFP and all that! We need to get rid of players like Silva and Hart with their shite names.

And why is it that when a long-ball actually works it automatically becomes a 'lofted-pass'?

[clawbaggio]

Why is Carrick so highly rated?
Invisible man. Does fuck all

[Risby]

Too true. He is just running around aimlessly, and when he does get the ball, he thinks he's some kind of midfield maestro!

[dick dastardley]

johnson worse right back in an england shirt fucin pants

[Risby]

It doesn't bode well when we can't play well against Ireland and we have Brazil on Sunday.

All the shit Neymar has had this week might come back to hurt us.

[Beefymcfc]

How many of those players out there are really England first choice?
