Rather true. Huth was the only starting English CB in the top 4 sides.Not really. There aren't many English CB's that can play CB though.

The German guy was the only English CB?Rather true. Huth was the only starting English CB in the top 4 sides.
I don't know what you're worrying about. Its a good group of players with plenty of options, pace, strength and they are in form and in good spirit.
Unfortunately I think england has its best chance in a long time.
I don't think so. The defence is suspect imo and just not as good as other areas. When we come up against the best, in competition mode, I still think we will falter.

yeah you're probably right. Thanks mate I feel a lot better now.I don't think so. The defence is suspect imo and just not as good as other areas. When we come up against the best, in competition mode, I still think we will falter. Friendlies are different
Friendlies v top sides:
We lost against the Dutch, just managed to beat the Germans - which was nice - got mugged off by Spain and drew against ROI. We also beat France, but I believe they weren't really at it after their experience.
Not much experience in this team/squad even at CL level.
whatI'll say this quietly, but this England thing is turning you all into a shower of moaning faced, entitled arseholes.
You almost sound like Gooners.
Gooners. Self entitled, don't know when you're well off Gooners.what
:dembelewtf:Harsh. I wish i could reply in the Scotland is going thread. But alas.Gooners. Self entitled, don't know when you're well off Gooners.
When we have went to these tournaments, back in the dim and distant past, we've not spent the build up ripping into our squad, manager and tactics, we've been delighted to be on the big stage. We enjoyed it. You lot seem to revel in pointing out every issue you can.:dembelewtf:Harsh. I wish i could reply in the Scotland is going thread. But alas.
I don't know if it's the media talking England up (every time), or just the fact you look at the squad on paper and think 'we could do something' but knowing England will fuck it up that means no one can get enthusiastic about it, it's better to call Hodgson a clueless badger looking twat now and say 'we should've brought this player' rather than get your hopes up and have a go after we've failed to get out the group.When we have went to these tournaments, back in the dim and distant past, we've not spent the build up ripping into our squad, manager and tactics, we've been delighted to be on the big stage.

When I say "you lot" I obviously mean every single one of you. Without exception.

Drank it once. Jumped over a wee wall for a pish on the way home, found a thirty foot drop on the other side. Was like the coyote off the road runner cartoon. Walked home the remaining mile or so on a very badly broken ankle. Potent stuff.....Probably because an international tournament is just another excuse for you lot to crack open a bottle of Bucky
If Vardy is going to start they should have picked Daws, he can give it a good hoof.Rather true. Huth was the only starting English CB in the top 4 sides.
