Re: World cup 2010 discussion.
Well I am English and I'm afraid to say that the Germans played well and that they deserved to win.
YES it was frustrating that the referee disallowed the goal but even then we would have still lost 4-2, it's nothing to do with morale, if anything, England should have fought back harder and stronger.
David James was by far the best player but he can't stop all the goals going in without the support of the defence. Our defence was a COMPLETE shambles, it was embarrassing to watch, I also found it really stressful because you knew that every time that Germany got the ball in our half they were gonna score and they did.. Never got that impression with England.
It's an embarrassment to English football, and even more embarrassing that we lost so awfully against Germany, of all the countries! I really did hope that we played Ghana, I thought that playing Germany was too soon and there was too much pressure to beat them (not that, that is ever an excuse).
Oh well, I'm sure the players are happily packing their bags now eager to get back to their 4/5million pound mansions. They are overpaid and underworked. We should pay them so much less and only increase their pay when they score goals or work hard. We should also not have Capello as our manager. I really do hope that he quits now and that David Beckham takes his place who I'm sure would not make ridiculous decisions like swopping DeFoe for Heskey and not CROUCH! David has passion for the game and all of the players respect him.
I'm going to take down my England flag now and just settle for watching the tennis instead.
A sad day for British football...
