The England National team thread

[TOON ARMY]

what you mean? figo started every game, and maybe im bias but i would still take a 34? year old figo over beckham on my squad. beckham is done, no affence to all the english supporters here, he cant produce anymore which he showed at the world cup

He can still produce but he can't get up and down the pitch like he once did. If he starts the season well at Madrid and gets fit then i'm sure Beckham will play for England again before long.

Real kick in the teeth.

Yeah, I've been waiting for ages for Ashton to finally get his chance, and then he breaks his ankle. He really deserved a call up too.

What a start for Terry Scores on his first game as captain.

 

[VanTheMin]

gr8 start for terry!
crouch should have doubled the lead from gerrard's cross.
but not a good header from him.
it had goal written all over it

 

[VanTheMin]

class.absolute class is the movement and passing.!!3-0!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Daz]

Downing is doing great on the Left, great to see a natural left footer playing there. Defoe is looking very lively.

 

[1966+2006]

who scored the tjird?

 

[Daz]

4-0!! FOUR F'UCKING NIL!!!

It's only a friendly but England are just playing amazing at the mo.


Crouch scored the 3rd AND 4th

12 Caps 8 Goals for Crouchy

 

[Drvar]

i would be impressed, but its Greece . still, a nice start for McClaren.

 

[Lennon]

Greece isn't even trying...

 

[1966+2006]

YES! WE ARE FU**ING MUREDERING THEM!
that's exactly what we need

 

[Rui10Costa]

WOW only hf and england up 4-0 against the defending europen champs...lets see them score 4 more in the 2nd lol

 

[1966+2006]

yeah, i have a greek friend and this is so freakin sweet

 

[Daz]

Richardson and Lennon on the wings now... the pace of them two would scare the crap outa me if i were a full back.

Owen Hargreaves - Man Of The Match

Again

C'mon Bayern let us 'ave him

 

[SlowSilver]

Owen H played fantastic

Great 1st half performance, but Greece were very poor today. Gerrard and Lampard both played really well.

And Crouch...how the hell does he get so many goals for England? Something like 8 goals in 12 matches..

 

[VanTheMin]

fantastic performance by every player in their own departments.
owen was class.
crouch should have had his hat-trick.

but mcclaren has got his tactics right.
the passing was awesome and fluid!

 

[Rui10Costa]

i thought that greece played way better in the 2nd half...so many chances they took but couldnt even put 1 in the net...my boy Karagounis almost put 1 in but that goalie was just 2 good 2day...any1 no where he plays ?
