That was awful to watch. Gerrard was absolutely trash. I have never seen him so badly in such a big match. Lampard was better but not great, no one was great. Carson was rotten, the first goal he allowed could have been stopped by a ten year old. Injuries certainly played a big part, but the 11th ranked team in the world (at the time) has to be more than two strikers deep. It was pathetic.

joeblue . . we all predicted that england would not make it. it was all so obvious. i also predicted that russia would make it, albeit being very lucky. guus is a good coach but he is not as good as you make him to be. He has been coaching for more than 20 years. He has not won the league outside Holland. He was a failure at Real Madrid and Valencia. He was sacked by madrid after few months from appointment. Interestingly, he is now a cautious manager, who emphasises more on defence than attack.

He did well with the national teams so late in his career after he was 55. South Korea were helped by the referees and good fortune so much, for their ascent to semi finals in the world cup at home. Either we should consider this luck factor everywhere or not discuss about it everywhere. He will not take up any club jobs because he know he cannot handle it. He would be a failure at any club. He should continue with and best suited for national teams only.

Oh come on. We were playing against a side 1 man down. We never had any real chance of goal against Italy. We should’ve dominated but we didn’t.

And why? because Guus was waiting for the last minute to sub Aloisi again. He used his luck with impact strikers one too many times.

Guus deserves all the kudos he gets m8

In the world cup, he managed to get us the draw against croatia on neutral ground.
Mclaren and england couldn’t even manage that on home turf.

I was hoping England would qualify so Guus could lead Australia again.

But India are the reigning champions of 20/20 cricket.

England not making it to the Euro’s is a bit of a disappointment, but what angers me more is the hype that Guus will get. He’s not as great as everyone said he was. He’s always had good squads to start off with and when he didn’t, they went no where.

His tactics are bland and predictable. *run around for 89 minutes then take a shot* I’ve seen it all too much. Russia are lucky to have qualified.

I dont whats in there to get shocked. England always plays poor football. I often repeat this statement

” England in Football is exactly like India in Cricket. A team full of stars, but not a star team. What it looks on paper is not what they play on the field”
