England vs Japan:Oh Dear

[Scarface]

What a dismal performance for england.

If this is the team they are taking to Euro 2004 u lot look to be in big trouble.

[Andy Villa]

i was sayin the same thing last night in between shouting at the chuckle brothers, nicky arse, calamity james, the ginger prikc, heskey the donkey, and mr burns for playin gerrard on the left and insisting on playing that stupid diamond formaion that never works and makes us look sh;t............

[Electro]

True , im brazilian :rolleyes:

[Loop]

So, what happened then?

[Electro]

Not alot :rolleyes:

[30111987]

1-1

ha ha, shame on you football commentators who say 'england all the way'. 'england will trash japan...'

mind you scotland didnt even get into euro 2004...

[Andy Villa]

and dont u forget it......

[Logan]

England played rubbish? Nothing new there.

I do think England will do alot better in Euro 2004. Because, it was just a friendly and they most likley thought it would be a walk in the park anyways, and hardly tried... knowing The English :rolleyes:

Thats what we English do. If its against a so called "rubbish" team or anything. We think we don't even need to try and then get our arse kicked :thumb:

First 30 minutes everything was going fine, it looked like we would win easily but it just stopped and they let japan get back into the game, after that we didnt look threatening or have much possesion, the only decent sub to come on was Owen Hargraves IMO, Dyer can be ok sometimes, Heskey is always useless except for maybe one game in 100.

Lmao :lol:

Great names :thumb:

being a reds supporter I always thought Gerrard was rather good?

[Andy Villa]

gerrard is argueably the best english midfielder at the moment along with lampard but when mr burns plays him on the left wing.... *sigh*

[I-NemesiS01]

didn't we draw 1-1 with them also in the run up to the last world cup? seem to remember we did pretty well there and was only knocked out by a fluke from a monkey so....

[Rian4001]

Cant see England beating France nor Croatia- and dat performance just tells you it all. Dont think Holland will match up to expectation either!

[Scarface]

Germny put 5 nil on Malta.

Malta aint exactaly a footballing powerhouse but then neither is Japan.

I predict a Portugal/Germany final for Euro 2004.

[stevengemmell]

England need to play basic 4-4-2


GK-James
DL-A.Cole
DR-Gary Neville
DC-Woodgate
DC-Campbell
ML-Dyer
MR-Beckham
MC-Gerrard
MC-Lampard
SC-Owen
SC-Rooney


With that gerrard and lampard could take turns to go forward, the other sitting back in a holding role, dyer and beckham maurading down the wings, with the pace of owen and dyer you cant go wrong, stable back 4 also.
