That Neville talks a lot of tosh, he's on at half time show this evening  saying that England are the most (or one of the most) consistant team in the world, more consistant than Germany who Neville claims are up and down.
What an utter idiot!
Germany tournament record
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany_women%27s_national_football_team#Tournament_record
2 x WC champions   1 x OL champions  8 x Euro champions

England have a decent record of reaching group stages and sometimes the last 8,   but somehow they magically transform into world beaters when they go out in the semis ::)

Manager in talking up his team shocker!    :o  You'll be telling us Kieran McGeeney thinks Armagh should be in the Super 8s next... :D
If McGeeney, instead of moaning about refs, had claimed his team were a consistant top team, unlike Dublin who were up and down, he might have matched the stupidity of what Neville said.

Not seen the interview in question but hear them say in commentary the other night that it was the 3rd major tournament in a row that England had been beaten in the semi-final. That's consistent  ;)

Consistent with the mens too. Get to a decent stage of the tournament and shit the bed. I don't know what it is - I suspect the media won't help.

Mayo comes to mind.

Germany  11 (World x2, Olympic x1,  Euro x8 titles) v  England 0

Mayo should not come to mind - We win semi finals!  ;D

Sorry about that.
England womens' record is even surpassed by Mayo.

Anyone else think the Americans are a bunch of insufferable arses?

Mayo's record surpasses a lot of counties, including your own.

Come to think of it your own county is one to remind me of  England when it comes to semi finals!  ;)

Megan and co aren't short on confidence but in fairness they can back it up with ability.

Now to the White House for burgers and fries.
