As long as we have Terry, Lampard, Cole and Rooney we'll go all the way

===================================
That's a positive attitude

Any chance the Admin would make this a multiboard?

Would be interesting to get responses from other fans.

iawt you just know its gna happen. England are so far behind the other nations in terms of technical ability, its embarassing.

i honestly think joe cole could have gone onto become a great player but mourinho coached all the skills out of him till he stopped using them and then he just faded out. shame

They will get as far as poland...unless there is problem with the plane...

Ukraine is about as far as england will get, pointless going any further really.

They will struggle to get out of the group imo. A win, a draw and a loss at best.

==================================
The problem is that they technically still don't have a manager.
Most of other teams already have a clear idea of players and formations, which is not the case for England.
So it won't be easy for them!

Are you being serious? Joe Cole's best football was played under Mourinho. He was a show pony before that with little vision or direction in his game except looking to exhibit rather unnecessary tricks. He never had the awareness, touch and vision of the modern great Spanish midfielders.

no one said he could rival the great spanish midfielders. i said he could have become a good english midfielder if he was allowed more freedom to express himself on the pitch but thats not how the english game works. you dont get time to express yourself over here. mourinho didnt like joe cole expressing himself on the pitch did he? and england dont do technical midfielders. they never have done. thats why we're so far behind other nations.

They won't even get off the plane. England are terrible.

========================================
I was wondering how many players did Mourinho "killed"?
He is a great manager, no doubt about that but when a player does fit his style of play, he just doesn't give him a chance or find a better way to use him.
Robben is one of them and now he is doing the same with Nuri Sahin!

Robben absolutely loathes Mourinho.

Can't say I blame him tbh.

posted on 26/3/12

iawt - not sure.. whats happening with nuri sahin? I dont know too much about it. lets just say he doesnt like slackers in the team. he's even got ronaldo tracking back now.

So the likes of Ronaldo and Ozil and Kaka and Di Maria are not expressing themselves in Madrid? Even the likes of Marcelo play with freedom. If Sahin isn't making the team, it's because he isn't good enough.

Joe Cole believed too much in his hype. He wasn't that technically gifted: just one of those cavalier players who love their tricks. Mourinho gave him the best years of his career so I don't understand how it made him less of a player.

England will beat Sweden and Ukraine.

They're rubbish

France result doesn't matter, then it just depends who we get in the knock out stages.
