Am I alone in thinking that the England performance today was (to say the least) woefully inadequate?

We'd better pull our socks up if we expect to do anything against Nigeria. I, for one, will not even be bothering to tune in.

Football really IS coming home - on the last seats out of Tokyo next wednesday night!

I'm sick of this - every major tournament we enter - 6 weeks of hype followed by 90 mins of mediocrity!

First point: Wrong forum

Second point: We won

Third point for 70 minutes we outclassed the Argentinians

Fourth point: Be happy :D

Although I have not yet seen the game, it would appear from responses in the Sports Forum that you are indeed alone in thinking that. I hope that no-one reacts to this baiting or the ridiculous poll options you give.


PS - Surely that's 180 minutes of mediocrity, or have you just been released from the Big Brother house and missed the first game? ;)

Theres a sports forum now? Oh dear

Looks likes one of you guys' irony detectors has been switched off

;)

That seems to be your getout for every one of these posts you make.
There is a very fine line between your "knowing irony" and basic trolling though. You may think that you are the postmodern Oscar Wilde but I doubt that this view is widely shared. You feel the need to twist everything you want to say. Is "Well done England" so terribly uncool that you have to resort to the above?

But equally you seem to want to tell me off for everything I say, yet I never get upset:)

I was only having a bit of fun - leave me alone if you don't like me:rolleyes:

Postmodern Oscar Wilde - as if!?

That was one of the all-time great England performances and still some people want more.

From your friendly neighbors, the US we say," Go England! Go Sweeden! And most importantly... Go USA!"

I think you lot were lucky Hargreaves went off injured (not because he's rubbish, but) because now Eriksson has now, accidentally, stumbled across his best team. Scholes was excellent throughout playing in the centre (along with Nicky Butt) after he was moved there when Sinclair came on. I think this is the way Eriksson should play the team from now on.
Tomorrow the tabloids are going to be full of King Beckham etc. (even though he was nothing special), and Mills, fortunatly for you lot, still hasn't completly proved himself to be the inadequate player he is, but England defended well. I'd say that for the next match Sheringham should stay on instead of Heskey.
The reason England got the three points really though was because the Argentinians were woeful, typified by Veron's substitution.
Best advice I can give to you lot is to not to take the tabloids seriously. They are going to go on now about how England will win the whole thing yaddah, yaddah, yaddah,... The worst thing Glenn Hoddle did in his career was say England COULD win the world cup. Not because they couldn't, but because the tabloids instantly decided England WOULD win the world cup. This was the begining of the end for him. The whole religious thing was an excuse by the FA to get rid of him. And Hoddle could have sued them for all they were worth if he had thought about it.

I thought they used that excuse to sack Hoddle because we had failed to win against Sweden and it looked like we were going to struggle to qualify for Euro 2000...

I know everyone has already said it, but Engalnd did fine.
At least your country gets an easy qualification, try being the best team in Oceania!!!!!!

Give us a break!!!

Bloody Northern-hemespheric FIFA.

Kick all of you at a proper sport.

It was all a delicate tapestry.
