The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup

[Capt Pat]

Very disappointing from England, very mediocre. Look how good Argentina were today, they had it all except the goals. England are miles behind.

And we have yet to see the 2 favourites! A sense of realism won't do the English any harm.

Sure they're not realists, they still think it's theirs to lose

With good reason

Where did this "Steve Gerrard" come from?

[Capt Pat]

Capello thought they played well???

What has happened to English goalies? They were showing a clip of all the mistakes they have made in big games. When did Shay Given last make a mistake for Ireland?

When he f**ked up against France and tried to blame Thierry Henry rather than admit that he wasn't up to the job.

[Rufus T Firefly]

Green makes a mistake every other week for West Ham. He shouldn't be in the squad let alone the pitch. Seriously, why is Capello earning a fuckload of money to just follow Eriksson's blueprint for failure.

But they have no real options - England simply do not possess a top class goalkeeper. So in terms of reliability, you are only replacing like for like - Green, James, Robinson, Kirkland, Carson - doesn't matter - they will all make mistakes. Their only long term hope is Joe Harte, but to be honest I've seen nothing this season - good and all as he played - that suggests he'll be anything really above the rest. He's in the same mould as Green, Kirkland et al.

Funny - as a kid, English goalkeepers were renowned around the world and Brazil's keepers were considered duds. It's now the opposite!

[Minder]

Would agree with that Rufus, people seem to be anointing Joe Hart as a young Rinat Dasayev. He played behind a very solid, stingy defence that kept clean sheets against a lot of mediocre teams. England just don't have a reliable keeper, which is nice.

Watched my first WC 2010 game tonight. Diabolical. Disgusted with myself that I missed Cavan/fermanagh for this shite.

Could anyone tell my why there's a truck strike going on during the match too. Doing my f**king head in.

you know comments like that, and not just from you, make us seem so insecure in our own sport.

I watched USA v England. It was shit. Thought Cavan v Fermanagh would be shit. Didn't watch it. Highlights didn't seem so bad. Regret the decision. Voice opinion on GaaBoard.

How does that display insecurity?

[Aerlik]

Watched Argentina v. Nigeria and the first half of the tans v. the Septics.  Still smiling about both games.  Altogether now:

"Let's all laugh at England, let's all laugh at England, nah naaaah nee nah, nah naaaah nee nah"

Viva Argentina.

I see ITV HD missed the England goal as some pillock put a hyundai ad on instead.

But the 2 matches weren't on at the same time. They never overlapped at all.
