World Cup 2010

If Jamie G wasn't out of the next game, I'd drop Lampard. He's like a rabbit in the headlights. Rooney wasn't much better. How about picking a side that wants to play some football. Joe Cole anyone?
I know...how many times b4 it sinks in that Gerrard and Lampard just don't work well together? Alternate them mebbe (if Gerrard wasn't captain), but Lampard should just be Stevie's understudy. Fans have been saying this for at least 2 yrs, grr. :rolleyes:

I think he chose a conservative team to go to SA. Walcott shoulda been picked - and Carragher is gettin on a bit now. Maybe a slightly more exciting team choice (more younger players who are trying to gain a reputation, rather than protect one). Also, why only bring Crouch on late in the game?
 
I'd suggest giving Joe Hart a chance, but I don't think his England debut went all that well either. :/
 
Could one of you male minds please explain why my English lover just dumped me?

We were texting during the recent UK match. He said, so UK wants to win the world cup eh? Jeezus wept.

I sent him a small .jpg of Jesus weeping. with caption I feel your pain

He texted back, shut up you stupid bitch and don't bother writing back and now I find he wants never to see me again!

I thought I was showing sympathy! I am flummoxed. But he used the 's' word with me, which is pretty serious in my book, so he's not going to get much chance for amends... However I would like to know what the mistake was. I don't want to have to avoid world cup discussions with all my men.

Sounds like he had it in mind anyways, and was waiting for even the slightest incongruity to go off about it. I wouldn't sweat it.

Or maybe he paid thousands to go to South Africa? If so, he's spent thousands for 180 minutes of pure frustration. Some boys take their football seriously.
 
^Perhaps... At least us frustrated Yanks can blame the shite ref we had in the match with Algeria. England's fans are kinda screwed there.

My guess is that the English squad comes out and wins the game with Slovenia like 3-1. if only to prevent being put on the rack if they go home after being exited in the first round.
 
Drifter, he texted me first! :eyeroll:

Thanks for all the responses. Yes, it was likely extreme frustration talking as he is extremely football oriented. But still, you do not use that particular word with me and escape the consequences.

These last few days some teams are at last eliminated. Makes things a bit saner IMO.
