Nah, we're shit. We won't do anything for the next 44 never mind soon.
I have laughed in the faces of people who think we would win it over the past few months. Although I did concede that Greece winning the European championships might show we could fluke it... |

I'm sure Aaron Ramsey, Craig Bellamy and Gareth Bale are more known than any Poles

There used to be some more famous Polish players back in the day, but currently there are still a few fairly known. However, Polish national team is shit these days. I can't wait to see the riots on the streets when we lose on Euro that we're hosting in 2 years. EDIT: Not the WC line-up of course, just the national team line-up. |

Injured for the last 10 years and then sent off.
Shame, loved him at Leeds back in the day. |

For once he didn't go off with an injury though.

And let's be honest, your main competition in qualification was Croatia, who were past their best following Euro 2008. Not a huge deal to be proud of really for a team like England's.

You can only beat the teams in your group. Croatia, Ukraine and even Belarus are not mugs. Could argue it's not far away from USA, Slovenia and Algeria which why this World Cup as been a bit of a let down.

In fact, I can recall very few examples of English posters on here coming out and saying England are amazing and will win things but I can recall numurous occassions (whether it be football, rugby or cricket) where England have lost and you come on here saying "AHHH LOL YOU ENGLISH BASTARDS!". I remember this especially well from a cricket thread because I had to point out to you that it was the England AND WALES Cricket Board you were laughing at for losing.
If you have some sort of pathological hatred for England, then come out and say it, like ECG did. Don't try and blame it on some generalisation like "the English are arrogant". |

So you are saying that we shouldn't be proud for qualifying because it was easy, shouldn't be proud of the national team because they haven't done anything for 44 years and shouldn't show passion when things go wrong.
Methinks somebody needs to look closer to home when throwing out accusations of 'arrogance' |

Nope. I realise that the companies hype the shit out of it to make money. I can't fault that, it's business. But due to me driving a lot I listen to a lot of radio so Five Live and Talk Sport have been doing my head in with presenters physically saying ENGLAND WILL WIN THE WORLD CUP.

I've not listened to a sports call in show in about 10 years, really helps the sanity unless you want to giggle at a loony bin. Invest in an MP3 player, you'd probably add years to your mental health life. |

Besides, this has all been blown a lot out of proportion. My point was that the fans are fucking shit for turning on their country after a draw when they're not even out of the cup yet, and I don't see what England have to be confident about. When is the last time they beat a real world contender? Argentina in 2002? Come on. |

They were frustrated because it looked like they weren't even trying. I know that's not the case, but surely if Rooney/Bellamy can turn round and twat someone when they're frustrated, fans can't be expected to applaud and cheer after that.

I'll give England all the credit in the world if they make the semi's, because I think that will be a successful campaign. I'm not anti English. I just hate overrated teams. I thought the same about the Irish Rugby team until they won the 2009 Grand Slam.

Until we play them that is. All the 66/war/Hitler references come out then. But for the most part, 'I'm down'.
