why cant england accept that they were just not good enough?

Question

when all is said and done ,can i say that england did not deserve to go into the semis,their overall performance was below par,

Answer 1

My tuppence worth:

The top 11 reasons England lost:

1. The manager is a strategically inept idiot. The lone striker strategy didn not work against equador, Beckham's brilliant free kick won us that game, not Sven. Why the **** did he keep that system? Why did he keep a system in which Rooney, (A known hot-head) would be kept without sufficient service, therefore guarenteeing a frustrated Roonie. A red card waiting to happen.

2. Rooney did not and never has shown the level of talent to rate him as an all-time great, or even as our best player, even when fit. Beckham, Owen, Lampard, Gerrard, when on form are every bit as good. Yes he tries hard, and yes he is determined, but he is not all that, and certainly NOT good enough to be a lone striker. he proved that against a miserable Equador side, So why keep him in that role? He is the most over-rated English player in history.

3. the media way OVERHYPING Rooney. how can they forgive themselves for the amount of pressure and expextation they have put in his young, overpaid and undertalented head?

4. Portugal's Goalie cheating in the penalties, "I wasn't ready," no and you failed to save the ******* goal, you shouldn't get another chance! you cheating bastard!

5. The ref. Biased, blind and as much of a cheat as the Portugese.

6. Ronaldo's constant bad sportsmanship.

7. Beckhams weak leadership, he's past his best, overpaid and undertalented.

8. WHY OH WHY WAS LAMPARD EVER ALLOWED ON THE PITCH? when a player has more attempts on goal than any other player and misses EVERY ******* ONE??? that's a hint that he is SH1T! off form and unlucky. shame for him, but if you want to win, put people on the pitch who look like they can score a goal.

9. Useless finishing! The England players looked like they had figured out how to defend, win the ball, get it up the other end of the pitch, into the opposing side's area, but then had no ******* clue what to do with the ball then. They actually looked like they had forgotten what the point of the game is? a clue: the aim is NOT to prevent your opposing side from scoring. Although useful, it is not the aim. the aim is to SCORE GOALS! you know, that retangular white frame with a net. the ball is supposed to go IN to that!

10. WHAT IS SO DIFFICULT ABOUT TAKING A PENALTY? Just boot the fucker as HARD as you can! don't try to be clever and side foot it in slowly! BANG THE FUCKER IN!

11. The English team are a pampered over paid goup of prima-donnas who do not understand the psychology of winning, why should they? They still have their mansions, Range Rovers, Mercs and WAGS getting all the STAR treatment.

Here's an IDEA, for every goal they let in, we charge all the players a percentage of thier income. for every goal scored, we pay them.

I would say, if they loose we shoot their children, but some people might think that cruel. I bet they would win then though.

Please excuse the swearing and spelling mistakes, but I am P1SSED OFF!

Answer 2

We were and are a good enough team - if I were a Portuguese fan I would be very worried; playing 11 against 10 men and not scoring in open play - are they rubbish or what?? So, Portugal being this superb team that can't even utilise a 1 man advantage (gained only by their unsporting behaviour a.k.a cheating), have to resort to all sorts of further cheating and eventually scrape through on penalties - just. Yeah we had some saved (your goalie is psycho), but your guys missed! What is going on?? Can't your 'world class players' even get a penalty kick on target??

England played very well considering the disadvantage in terms of Beckham not being himself to start with and them gaining the injury, and then Rooney getting sent off.

If you don't appreciate English fair play football and our hard working team, go watch teletubbies, Big Brother or some other TV program. You don't need to come on here and try to tell us that we were out played; sorry but we are not blind.

And off course it never occurred to you that the ref was Argentinian ....

Answer 3

Very true on performances we play like turds, but on paper we have the 2 of the best central midfielder and 4 of the best centre backs (terry, carreger, ferinard and king), the best left back in ashley cole, so really we should be there or there abouts. But it the mangment behind the player is the problem and it's not goin to get better with maclren.

howdy, {:-) we don't deny evolution, All issues evolve. We deny Evolving into an entire new species, from yet another species.. the transformations between the simian and human is important. a million- Evolution is a theory. consequently : the theory OF EVOLUTION. right that's the definition of theory .. a million - precis theory : hypothesis. 2 - A hypothesis assumed for the sake of argument or examine. 3 - An unproved assumption : conjecture. ASSUMPTION - the act of laying declare to or taking possession of something CONJECTURE= a conjecture is a mathematical assertion which looks creative, yet has no longer been formally shown to be real. those are no longer info.. consequently there is no longer something extremely to have faith.. no longer a hypothesis, no longer an ASSUMED hypothesis, and in no way an UNPROVED assumption.. to boot as: The regulation of conservation of mass, states that rely won't be able to be created or destroyed. Evolutionary theory has extensive holes that are no longer addressed, together with abiogenesis. Scientists won't be able to produce in a lab below controlled circumstances that which they postulate got here approximately via itself, via twist of fate. Evolutionary theory additionally fails to wisely clarify events like the Cambrian explosion and irreducible complexity. The Bible is an traditionally precise e book. Archaeology has never shown the Bible to be incorrect; if fact be told, that's an amazing source for archaeologists, even immediately. Discoveries are nonetheless being made, like the present looking of the "Pool of Siloam" that replaced into written of roughly 2000 years in the past. Peace and advantages from Texas <><

Unfortunately for the rest of the world, since they won the bloody thing in 1966, they never tire of reminding the world, of the fact. Owing to this they think thay have a god given right to win every major competition they are involved in.
World Cup 2006: not good enough, poor performances by over-rated players.

Answer 6

What are you on about? I think most English people do accept that we were rubbish on the whole. Eriksson messed up big time, Lampard, Gerrard and Beckham didn't perform, Owen let us down... again, and even Rooney wasn't that great. We know we weren't good enough. We're still allowed to be disappointed.

Answer 7

I agree England did play very well against portugal when they had a man down and defended there goal... england lost in pk's so they need to move on and wait till the next world cup.

Answer 8

Why Italy were palying good? or France? or even Germany? Come on, the games are being fcuken fixed, that's the truth, the worst 4 teams got through and this world cup is fixed!

Answer 9

I AGREE VERY STRONGLY.
But todays match was pretty good, even though ugly Rooney was sent off. But hey, still lost. they havent been in semi final for 17 years! how s h i t is that?!

Answer 10

actually, you turd, i think England played brilliantly today, they made a real go of it and stopped Portugal from scoring for 120 mins, they did deserve to go through, so shut up you idiot.
