Absolutely staggered that was given as a penalty.
Rooney had the cheek last week tae to say how much of an honest player he was..****in joke!!.
He dived against Arsenal last week tae but coz Almunia came flying out it was always gonna be given.
1st time ive seen this penalty tonight, and its laughable..its Rooney that pulls the shirt sticks out a leg and falls..utter pathetic.
got to say i think they have a good chance next year.
Argies are struggling, Portugal might not make it, France are still all over the place under mentalist Domenech. Spain looking like favourites with Brazil (whose squad doesn't look earth shattering, but who are on a great winning run).
Germany and Italy you never really know as they always overachieve if they're weak anyway.
tbh i think England will be underachieving if they don't reach the Semi's.
world class players at all four defensive positions, CM, CM, and FW.
only missing a world class goalie and world class wingers and second striker. if their choices for these positions are at the top of their game come next summer (as Defoe is right now) then they look like having a very strong first XI and they have decent strength in depth and impact players coming off the bench too (eg potentially Defoe, Walcott, Lennon, Young and SWP).
thats not to mention having arguably the best coach in the world who has the full backing of the players, public and English media.
I'll guarantee England won't win the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
Was toungue in cheek.
That's why they got a non-english manager who isn't caught up in the hype. The have a man with a proven track record, whom IIRC, has won almost everything in the game and has had success at every club he's ever worked at.
Don't get me wrong, I hope you're right but Capello has a knack of cracking any team he goes to and gets them winning.
SThough managing an international team is quite a different kettle of fish, as they say. Capello has done very well so far but the proof, assuming they get there, will be at the finals.
Interestingly, Eriksson had a very good England record qualifying for finals, but his teams didn't then have that extra something you need at finals (then again, neither have most previous England teams).
