| Originally posted by chesco Who cares if england were the mightiest footballing side pre war. That was fuckin decades ago. In the here and now, england aren't that good. And the sooner your supporters realise that the better for everyone. As for football that really matters. Group B is shaping up to be a fantastic finish. Isn't it just like us scots to bottle it against the smaller nation. It's going to be quite a day of football at hampden when italy come to call. As a fan of italian football I'm left torn as to what I want from the game. Seeing scotland and their fans return to tournament football would be really special and great for the game in this country, but loosing the world champions because of it would detract from the spectacle of the euro championships I feel. Whatever the result I know I'm going to take it tight for being a half tally in glasgow.  Can't fuckin wait but. |

Face it...England dominates you in everything, history and sports included. Besides, Scotland lost 2 nil to fucking Georgia. You have no right to even be arguing anything in here. They aren't going to qualify. |
^^^^ so basically you cop out and take the side of either Scotland or Italy whenever it suits you?
Italy certainly are talented...but how you don't feel embarrassed in which the way Italy won their last World Cup is beyond me.
Embarresing? No, not at all. I think we quiet rightly deserved to win the World cup considering of all the past luck we have had in WC history and the scandals that rocked our league just before the WC started. We put on brave faces and played with heart in all our games.
Out of all the games we played one little thing goes wrong and what everyone thinks we didn't deserve to win? Get the fuck out of here. Btw did you see how France got to the final? A blatent dive from Henry that gave them a 1-0 win from penalty spot.
What happened in the 2002 World Cup against South Korea really was a load of bullshit and pissed us off, it then eventually happened to Spain. Imagine if it were ENGLAND? im sure you would be pretty pissed. Now you understand why we were so happy about winning 2006 World Cup.
I guess you missed that fucking atrocious call against the Australian defender in the Aussie-Italy game in 2006 then eh? You know...when he purposefully fell over the defender when he didn't even have the ball? That was one of the worst fucking calls I've ever seen. Save for the Germany game (in which they showed gritty determination) Italy practically dove their way to that title and FIFA turns a blind eye to all their play acting. Also, how you or anyone else can defend someone like Metarazzi astonishes me.
But if you want to talk about a country getting fucked in international football, then England has suffered far more than Italy. 86 WC Hand of God? 98 disallowed goal? 2004 disallowed goal? Rooney's red card in 2006? How about the fact that England never lost a game in the 82 World Cup yet didn't advance due to that ridiculously unfair system? Even the foul called on Rooney on Wednesday was fucking three yards outside the box yet a penalty was given!
So don't give me any fucking Italian whining.
Yes i agree it was a bad call. How many other teams dive and you know it. Btw there were worse dives that happened that words couldn't describe especially from Figo and C.Ronaldo. Like i said before France dived their way yet no one ever complained about them , goes to show how many people just love to hate Italy.
Oh and because Italy has never been fucked that much in International football either 
The only bad game we played was against Australia i don't know what your on about cos i think we played all of our other games fairly...perhaps you wern't watching.
The problem with England is the cockiness and yet use whine more than us Italians when you have on paper a team of fucking stars that in anyones right mind should be winning world cups by the palm of your hands but somehow find other excuses.
Dj Smitty20 want hard calls watch the three stone wall pens Scotland got nothing from in the last two games.
We're a small small country but we punch above our weight. England should have qualified from that group without a doubt. Enlgand have had amazing players and still do. But as has been said they arn't 'due' anything which they seem to forget sometimes.
Would love them and us to qualify, could even lead to a match up maybe? lol But as it stands would consider we are both gonna be out (tough in all seriousness hampden is a VERY hard place to go, and french have to play ukraine away too).
As for the history comment about Scotland you obviously have no idea the contribution we have made to the world at all (could go into depth about it but belive me i could blow that point out of the water).

HEH, good-BYE England!
Tiny CROATIA, with its population of only 4.4 million, walked into
Wembley and officially eliminated England from Euro 2008 with a 3-2 victory.
On to Austria-Switzerland!!!
england: epic lulz. congratulations to croatia for a great win even if it didn't matter to them. hopefully this time croatia will come back to the euro96/wc98 form.
we sucked ass and qualified without beating poland, serbia or finland not even once. yawn.
I am SO glad we lost, we didn't deserve fuck all. Passionless wankers, can't believe it.

1st goal - Great shot from Kranjcar, but come on the save was poor. I don't know what McLaren was thinking using an inexperienced keeper in such a crucial match. If he didn't think Robinson was in form, he should have stuck James in. At least he has the experience.
2nd goal - Fantastic pass by Eduardo. Really caught the defence napping with 3 guys failing to close him down and allowing Olic to run through.
3rd goal (Pen) - Talk about the Refs protecting the "big teams" rolleyes.gif. That wasn't a penalty. He barely touched his shirt and he was nowhere near the ball. The Ref needs to let plays like that go, especially if he's not going to do the same for the other team.
4th Goal - Masterful goal, really was. Full credit to Crouch and Beckham. I've said if before and I'll say it again but Beckham is a master passer and the Beckham/Crouch combination is exactly what works well against Croatia. He should have started.
Great control by Crouch. I thought he was going to header it in but he finished it well.
5th Goal - Well, that's why he's our starter normally. Petric unfortunately has been on antibiotics due to the flu but he proved his skill with that shot. Perhaps the keeper could have saved it but you can't really blame him too much. It was curling away.
Definitely an entertaining match but we were the better side. It's amazing how many calls went against us. The big nations are always protected. Damn Swiss!
Some close chances bu us as well that really should have been goals.
The pitch....oh dear. That was disgraceful. England is meant to have the best pitches and pride themselves on it but that was horrible. Playable but on the bottom side, the players had to do small steps to even stop. If they were going to play the NFL match there, why wasn't this game played in Old Trafford, or even better at Emirates?!?
lol at the Russians. They almost gave you another lifeline with a guy sent off in the last 5min. Hiddink and the millions of Russians owe us badly.
McLaren...needs to go. He's rubbish.
I'm very happy with how we played. We've always had a habit of backing down but we've finally built up a team that knows how to hold the ball and can keep attacking. Roll on Euro 2008.
What a big fucking joke...England NEVER should have left Sven go, specially for such an inexperienced dumbass like McLaren
fucking WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
hahahhhahahahahahahahahaEnglandhahahahahahahahahhahah 
Well, what to say??? Proud To Be Croat. We were better team, we deserved to win that match. Congratulations to Russia for qualifying, England, better luck next time
I'm disappointed about England. Thought we would kick their ass @ Euro Cup like we did so many times before. 
<-- me seeing this on espn this morning.
daaaaamn. but kinda makes me a little happy.
this is a shocker, but the croats have always been a good team.
minimal can be so boring sometimes

^ yep
The players are to blame as well as the manager.
Capello, or Lippi or Mourinho (both unlikely) would be good replacements. There just aren't any English managers that are quality, or free from their club responsibilities, to take this on, and the FA don't want to make the same mistake again.
