Thought I'd start a new thread for Scots and Co to vent their spleens on. The Trinidad is a bit old hat now.

But we were crap again, I thought. We couldn't even hold a 2-1 lead for 5 MINUTES. Instead of playing out of defence like Argentina and Brazil we were hoofing it like conference players.

On the other hand...have England EVER won all 3 group games, cos if we have I don't remember it.

I kept the gloating over my betting win to the other thread so as not to annoy you Martin!

But seriously, i can understand your dissapointment. All the patriotism in the world wont help if they dont simply get thier collective fingers out!

Oh. and sack Rooney pronto so some of the other guys feel like they're worth something.. that cant but help morale....

Did u have 2-2 then, or just the draw? I thought 0-0.

I looked it up by way - England won all 3 group games in 1982. Only time in World Cup.

Sadly no, i just had for a draw. 36/1 for a 2-2! Damn time travel could be profitable...

I see that Willhill had its biggest online loss last night. A scottish user bet 40grand on england to win.

Haha!

won despite sven's defensive substitution that gave ecuador a chance to attack for last 15 mins.

Why does he do that? We were well on top, so he takes off joe cole and brinds on a defender.

He did that in 2002, and 2004 and both times we went out. We are useless on the back-foot, we need to attack.

Thant said, I thought we were okay. We've got as much chance as anybody else in the tournament.

Except Argentina.

And Brazil.

Oh, and maybe Spain and Germany.

And Holland.

Having said that...

We are so spoilt nowadays! England didn't even make it to the finals for 12 years between 1970 and 1982!!

Nowadays we're disappointed about the 'style' in which we reached the quarter finals

Well shut my mouth

Hmmm...same idea applies to group games

England 1 Paraguay 0 (paraguay lose by a foul on the black)

England 2 TnT 0 (tnt lose by default, left game early)...eh, after a 6'7" bloke ripped their hair out

England (intermediate) v Sweden (intermediate) - Friendly

Round 2: Sweden booted for offensively bad play.
Sweden leaves the room.

the reason he makes defensive subs is because he was a manager in italy for most of his managing career, and the italian style of play is very much one of scoring as and when you need to, ie scoring in the first half and defending it in the second, to force a 1-0 win against a team who may or may not be better than you
