England penalty

[Dr_Regal]

Absolutely shambolic decision. Referee should be fired for cheating.

We could do with a couple of those on wed....

Nope they agree no pen.

Still think though until the media and fans accept England are not as good as they think they will never win anything. Clowns

John Terry was on the tellybox the other day claiming that diving etc is all to do with foreigners, and not in Brits' nature - bleedin rich coming from someone that plays in the same team as Joe Cole. Add Rooney to Gerrard and Cole to make up three of the most prolific divers in the EPL.

They've played alot of diddy teams in the games they've played since Capello took over. He's been lucky me thinks.

When they come up against a decent outfit, they will get found out for what they truly are.

[NOLA]

i think under cappello, engurland will do well next year, not as good as spain clearly but will probaly reach the quarterfinal and thats when their commentators will start creaming themselves about winning it again since 19 something

I agree that they would probably thrash us if we played them.

But comparing the 2 games today.... I realized that we are much more entertaining to watch than those lot.

England have players that can grab goals at anytime during a match.

But nothing about their play excited me today.

All of the times England have been put out on penalties they were the better team over the course of the game.

I'm even going back to 1990. They have just been rank bad at penalties.

Under their new manager I don't think they'll need penalties to get past the teams they have historically lost to. If they have all their players fit they can beat anyone.

I would lump on them for the world cup and you might feel a bit better when they win it. I don't see Brazil or argentina stopping them and spain are overrated in my opinion. They can be got at and stopped if Senna and Alonso are nullified...cut off the supply to the forwards and their heads will drop.

I'm dreading it but it's going to happen.

England have obviously done very well in their qualifying group, but if you look at their recent results against the better teams in friendlies it hasn't been too great. They lost to Spain and France, drew with Holland and Czech Rep and beat Germany.

Player for player they have a team which should do well in the WC, but I still believe their mentallity will see them lose another penalty shoot out. They will do better than us Scots, but will be entertaining in defeat nonetheless.

England are a close 2nd for the most deluded team in the world.

That's the key word.

Who cares about friendlies?

As for their attitude surrounding penalties...how many england internationals took penalties in the champions league final in moscow?

I Think if it came to it they would all score because they're not scared of anything any more. They're slowly becoming hardened. It's normally the foreigners that bottle penalties...remember it was Anelkas piss poor penalty that lost chelsea the big one.

Brace yourself my friend...or lump on

Not that bad a set of results, actually, I would suggest, though the point is that, as you say, they were all friendlies, so don't mean very much either way.

As an Englishman I'm happy with the progress Cappello has made but realistic about where England are in the pecking order: only just in the top 10 probably, which would suggest another quarter final (or earlier!) exit.

Assuming they make South Africa, I just hope Cappello makes sure the players don't believe the English media hype, which, sadly, is never going to change.

Agree, it wasn't a spot kick. Ironically, I don't think Rooney was even looking for a penalty - he was just trying to whack the defender!

dry your eyes, jealousy must hurt. wonder on wednesday if Miller takes a tumble you would be saying the same.........

What about Scott Brown.....un sportsmanship.....imagine if that happened against Scotland......there would be uproar

I think England have made great strides under capello. Being english, if we qualifier i will be telling all the people that will listen that we are going to win the world cup.....until we get knocked out (although i hope we don't) & then its humble pie time. I do think the media has been getting alot better, but IMO its no difference to the commentators going on up here about smeltic in europe when they play.
