England has been ousted from Euro 2008! :mad:
Ah well, I can always support Russia. Why are we so shite at sport??

:lmao: :rofl: :lmao:

Sorry *wipes tear* No wait - I'm not sorry...

we're a very small island, statistically we're more successful than we should be...and we're very good at badminton i believe...LOL

You have the same population as France - they got through just fine (Allez les Bleus!)

Edit: OK the UK and France have the same population, roughly, but not England - but Croatia draws from a smaller pool of nationals and they got through - it is a piss poor excuse whatever way you look at it.


I second that emoticon.

The England team are a bunch of prima donnas that believe their own press!
The problem I have is if they win, for days,weeks,months,years, all you hear is England this England that.... wooopy shit for England.
A bit more humility and a bit more pride and even I would congratulate England if they won.

Yeah I hate everything that surrounds England

it's why I don't really support them and why I didn't want them to qualify

was genuinely gutted for Scotland though

I think we all support the underdog that is there by effort. It is a pity Scotland lack some top key players to push them over that brow:mad:

England's talent pool is just as good as it has been for the last 10 years or so, and that's the problem. Most other nationd are constantly improving, but we're too static.
There's such a slim margin between the top 10, 20 maybe 30 teams in the world compared to what there used to be; England are now merely one of the pack. :frown1:

the attitude on youths playing football in this country is a shambles

I went to France and their youth systems are amazing

they have all the facilities you could want, we have nothing

that and the rise in obesity and laziness

the future is only worse

Don't get me started, I'm 38 I work as a bricklayer on site and I can jump over the head of the young guys that are coming into the game....:mad::mad:..... I find them very disappointing. They look at you working hard and give you daggers cause you remind them of how lazy they are.
