Lineup:

------------------Green

-Johnson--Ferdinand--Terry--A Cole

-Lennon---Lampard--Carrick--Gerrard

------------Rooney--Heskey

He stuck with Green!!! :D:D:D Hopefully thats it now. Heskey ahead of Cole is a bit silly when Cole has as much power but 1000x the better touch and skill plus can actually finish every so often. Then again, Bent should easily be in the squad. Can score against Man United and Chelsea for a start, which not a lot of English strikers can claim.

Ukraine were our toughest team so far so could be a long night.

BTW, anyone know why Milner is loved so much by Capello? Slightly better players around to have on the bench. Not exactly going to change the game against Brazil or something. :howler:

And our U21's won 6-3 last night, could have been 10-0 if our CB pairing and goalkeeper weren't some of the worst I have ever seen at U21 level. Mancienne is so utterly gash at defending its shocking he gets so much hype.

Injured.

Ukraine fans have showered Green's goal with flares, amazing start. What a bunch of wankers, if they hit Green! :(

What the fvck Rio!!!

First ****ing rule of defending is to not let the ball bounce you clown! Penalty to Ukraine now, you total mong.

Oh and Rob Green red carded too, what a brilliant contribution from Rio there. David James is going to be our keeper for the next games now... worst start possible.

SHEVA CHOKES SHEVA CHOKES!!! SHEVA CHOKES!!! Who would think that possible! James went completely the oppsite direction as usual, will he ever save a penalty?

Flares thrown again, should throw the fans out at this point.

How can they kick off with the goal so smoky? James visibility is cut down.

Capello hasn't brought anyone like that no Parker, Cattermole (who has been excellent) or Reo-Coker etc.. Which I find odd, you can bet your arse if Hargreaves came back with a missing limb he'd be in the squad though. Just one of those weird twilight zone England things. Beckham has to be selected, James has to be treated like royalty, Ashley Cole never to be dropped, Heskey always near the squad.

Just a training game now to see if we can defend. Which unfortunately we cannot, our defence has been a shambles. Mainly due to Rio or someone making absolute clangers. All seems to be the CB's though, who don't react quickly, don't attack the ball and expect to win every header without trying. We cannot win a world cup with our defenders making such blatent mistakes. Hopefully Jagielka, Woodgate etc. are available and in form.

Oh god, I just realised that Heskey is our only goal threat now! :(:(:(

Ashley Cole making another mistake as usual, that will be overlooked, Johnson will be at fault somehow even though he won the tackle. And we go a goal down... congrats Rio and Cole. Defending like utter twats.
 
#20 ·
lol didn't even see Cole follow up his mistake by heading the ball into the ****ing net.

Oooohh Lampard almost scores.

"Ukraine goal: Glen Johnson gets in a decent tackle on the edge of the area but the ball comes out to Sergiy Nazarenko, whose ferocious shot comes off Ashley Cole (I think) to beat David James."

The BBC.... who most fans will be reading. Note that Cole's mistake in losing the ball as usual with his quick thinking and lack of any passing ability is completely left out. Johnson obviously set the goal up, expect another article to be run about how por Johnson has been for Liverpool and England. :howler:
 
#26 ·
I swear I was just thinking that as well. They completely left out Cole's shite defending - cue Johnson getting the usual slack that he can't defend. I dunno whether to laugh or cry really.
 
#24 ·
Look at the BBC, all they have said is about Johnson being out of position. Cole makes two massive howlers, Rio makes one of the worst howlers I have seen since his Holland ones and yet Johnson gets more mention for 'being out of position'. When he has been turning defence into attack and helped give an extra man on the right.

He obviously needs a PR man to pay off everyone.

Only 3 minutes of injury time? That seems quite low for all the stoppages.
