I think the reason England never reach the heights they should is that the players don't like each other or there seems to be no passion. There is no desire to play and die for the national team as there is with other countries. The UK media have a lot to answer for as these guys can not even call each other school yard names during matches on the weekend without being drawn into court. When I was a teenager we called each other a lot worse and nobody could or would get upset even though it may not have been "ethically or morally" correct. England needs to rediscover its sense of nationalism and be proud to be England and not care what the politically correct thing to do is or what others think of them. We expect the English football fan to be giving it loads and that is what makes it so enjoyable when someone beats England! So come on back England. Find your Englishnish so you can be better and we can have more fun at hating you! It is no fun right now, you are too bad and are gone too nice! Get it together.

Come on let's face it! England's never been in the contenders list for any competitions as far as I can remember. All they've is history.

oh england how u never live up to expectations......

Joe Hart, stay in your effin goal man!

but England were the s**t last week when they played those nobodies and won... reality is.. England sucks

eriksson.. not bad.. but never figured out how to place stevieG & lamp in diamond midfield..

mclaren.. becks dropped.. brought up bunch of 2nd class crap players.. england says goodbye to euro..

capello.. becks still dropped.. preferred a big striker who doesn't know how to score.. hammered by germany in WC..

hodgson.. liverpool rejected.. rio dropped.. terry retired.. mixed up different youngsters+seniors every game.. players don't even click with 'everytime new' teammates..

who's next?

England is probably the best team in the world right now..

Is Gareth Barry injured? Or is he out of international football? Because he should at least be in the squad

:)

England fan flowchart:

1) If the England captain doesn't play for your club, you should seek any opportunity to mention the fact he's not worthy of the shirt. Especially if you don't win.

2) Game starts. Totally expect the win regardless of who you are playing. Talk up your chances in a conditional tense to cover your back, just like the pundits/commentators do.

3) Did England win? If yes, go to step 4a. If not, step 4b

4a) You should let the world know that your win is the most resounding of all the international results. Remind them that England are worldbeater.

4b) Complain about the starting 11, even if it means replacing them with players who you said were useless from the previous England game. Remember, the problem is ALWAYS down to your tactics/players. Don't mention your opponents, let alone give credit to them.

5) Whether it is a win or a loss, you should remind your fellow England fan: "At least we're still better then Germany."


Cycle.

the england bench didnt look happy at all.

i still do not know how
1) carrick is still playing for england and huddlestone isnt
2) why milner is still played on the wings? hes not a winger for goodness sake
3) how defoe is still in the lineup
4) why we stick with the passionless rooney
5) gerrard, who tries his hardest, is still in the squad
6) how cleverley gets the nod to play when he is a jack of all trades but a master of none
7) lescott is still starting for england when hes shown to be a shadow of himself in his everton years
8) why the hell cant england string together more than 3 passes
9) why england went with the long ball game with defoe over carrol
10) how johnson is picked over walker (although johnson had a decent game)

Either Hodgson dumps 4-4-2 or England dump Hodgson. Terrible tactics for the set of players he has.

It could have been worse for England. The Poles squandered some good chances. Shame Heart will probably be slated by the media, the whole team made plenty mistakes.

joe hart or david de gea... hard to tell
