Guest Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 England are awful to watch, because they're a reactive team but without the fast counters. They will set up to defend a 0-0 against Italy and hope for a set piece goal - very much Chelsea esque. I don't mind it, because if England tried to play active football they'd get crushed because they lack ability. They'll get out of the groups, then get comfortably beat in the next round. Thought you would be watching Spain v the mighty Bosnia....anyone know how they doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i84est Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Went to the game whole match was boring. 1st 30mins was so **** that the card board flapper things they leave on you seat to hold up during the national anthem, ended up being a mass paper aeroplane challenge to see who could get them to land on the pitch, don't know whether it was seen on tv but loudest cheer of the night was when one hit a Peru player in second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Thought you would be watching Spain v the mighty Bosnia....anyone know how they doing? They played Bolivia, won 2-0 but I didn't watch it. Looking at the starting line-up, it was pretty much a last chance saloon game for the likes of Juan Mata, Santi Cazorla and Fernando Torres. I don't blame international teams for playing the way they do, as they're stuck with the players and have to do what suits them best. People can complain about England all they want, but facts are facts that the starting XI doesn't have any style/identity and defending is arguably their biggest strength. I can all-but guarantee that Italy will dominate England and they will pretty much park the bus. I've got cinema tickets to see it with my friends but I've already told them it's not going to be a classic. I'll be amazed if there is a goal in open play. I'm going Italy 1-0 England goal from a Pirlo free-kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 May be boring to watch. But gotta respect good old Roy,not been agraid to try young players ie townsend sterling llalanannannana shaw etc. The thing that gets me is that this set of players would never play like that for their clubs. Their natural style is to run at the opposition and to chase and harry. In Brazil they won't be able to do that. The 'boring' style is one we will have to get used to throughout the tournament.

ladyram Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 While all the other teams zip past us? :-( Bring back the Italia 90 squad, so much more exciting to watch. Watching the World Cup is not the same now as it was then, there's just nowt really to get excited about and not much in the way of expectation. This is our National team who were once great but now are as good as forgotten, what a shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuff264 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 That would be my England team, except for Welbeck out for Sterling and maybe Wilshere for Henderson, more depends on who we are playing. Good to see now that Baines is getting his deserved start we are scoring goals from corners, got a fantastic delivery on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLACML Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 On a sidenote, Fernando Torres is actually one of the worst footballers I've ever seen. He's on a Jake Livermore level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i84est Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Exactly never been to a match where the match is an actual side show for throwing aeroplanes on the pitch. Sat there watching some of them go the distance was quite impressive tho lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTedd Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 My wife is looking at some of the Peruvian message boards about the paper aeroplane. Some of them are getting a bit mardy about it, thinking the whole point of throwing aeroplanes was to try and hit their players. Seriously. That's more stupid than some of the posters on here (you know who you are). I've waded in and assured them that if it had hit and England player, the cheer would have been twice as loud. Such is the British sense of humour. PS Mexican wave went round 4 times unbroken, that's how crap the match was. Nice day out though, wembley is immense.
