Norway v England

[Triggaaar]

Great game, really pleased to see us pass the ball about so sweetly, we looked like we could open them up any time we wanted to.

You are obviously referring to Barca last night.

Not the statuesque Walcott & Co.

Both me and CW Jnr fell asleep at 70mins only to wake up for the final whistle .

You did better than the England team who fell asleep around the 35 minute mark and have only just woken up.

Are we the only country where the supporters criticise even when we win?

Six 1-0 at Euro2012 will do me fine

 

[GingerBeerMan]

yes the cnuts were

No they weren't.

YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


'Gareth Barry's injury does worry me' - BIG positive from tonight.

Why is that a positive? Barry played well for City this season and will be a blow to lose.

No.

Of course. The teams at the Euros are a little better though.

Isn't this how Greece won it?

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Isn't this how Greece won it?

Greece won by being very organised and hard-working, playing to their strengths and being clinical from set-pieces. People say they were lucky but no side turns over the host country of a tournament (and a strong Portugal side at that) twice in two games on mere luck.

England, on the other hand, are not clinical, lack the concentration and focus, and don't have a settled pattern of play.

Maybe him being mugged for pace by Ozil to set up Muller for Germany's fourth goal in the last WC proves he isn't quick and mobile enough for international football. That was two years ago and I imagine he hasn't got any quicker since then.

Whereas Ozil has come on leaps and bounds since then.

Very much this.

They also had a couple of decent players as well. This always gets over looked. Judging from some people's posts you simply need to be organised to win the Euros. It's a lot more than this.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

They are playing like a bunch of strangers.

and to cap it off there will be a diiferent bunch of strangers playing in the finals

 

[beardy gull]

I found it quite cheap when I was there just gotta shop right.

I doubt the England fans went for the shopping. Half a lager? £8

That one sentence sums up England perfectly for pretty much my whole life time of watching England play. A few exeptional games....5-1 in Germany, Holland and Germany in Euro 96 and Italia 90 against Germany and maybe a couple of other decent world cup games. The sad thing is i cant see it changing.

Barry doesn't have Yaya Toure carrying him in the England team.

Yaya must be amazing if he can carry Barry, he has got the biggest arse in football

 

[saafend_seagull]

Why are you looking at every single players arse in football?

 

[Mr Blobby]

We spent an hour or two in the Brighton pub before the game yesterday. Will update my blog either today or tomorrow with all my pictures. Not sure where £8 a half comes from, we paid about £6 a pint on average.

 

[Goring Gull]

Gerrard a disgrace again, What wrong with the bloke he should be driving the team on like decent leader
