who would have thought an English would be content saying this
The bodys are counted after the battle, not inbetween.
still, you gotta admit Europe has fallen behind the Americas in soccer.
I gotta take pride in something
After 2 games each? Lol...
Open your eyes. France is done. Italy and England look really, really bad. Spain will choke again sooner or later. Germany is too young and inexperienced.
Portugallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll will save our pride!
EC > WC
There!
France was done a long time ago, Italy and England do look bad yes. I wouldn't say they look any worse than USA or other Americas teams other than Brazil. Germany had one dominant game and one ty game so I don't know what to say about them yet.
Love how you left out Portugal too.
Portugal about to get raped by Brazil
lol European teams never winning a WC outside their continent
England is a far better side than the usa, to be sure. But they haven't shown the heart or the resilience that we yanks have, and the brits seem to be in the midst of a complete meltdown.
So yes, you have better footballers. But they don't look like much of team at the moment.
I agree on with all of your points apart from the meltdown. France is in a meltdown. England just look really out of form, wednesday against Algeria was the worst I have ever seen Rooney play. He couldn't even control the damn ball.
Just gotta wait until Wednesday and all the questions will be answered.
Mostly unrelated:
Why does England have a separate team, instead of just putting a full UK team together? That would be like Texas and California sending their own teams into international compe ion.
come on
Well, it has always been like that. The seperate parts have strong nationalistic feelings, they are seperate countries after all. It cant be compared with US States. This is seperated historically. And when nations started to create football federations, wales, england and scotland all created one for their themselves. It has stayed like that.
There were some proposals from time to time by some people to form a british team but it was opposed.
I have no idea, Ryan Giggs on those 98/2002 teams would have been huge.
yet they are under 1 prime minister - David Cameron. I have been wondering it myself
Or Texas and...........the rest of the US
i knwo they did it for their rugby union games when someone wants to put up a challenge, i remember one of the games 3 lions vs australia, it went down the the wire
Yeah, but they are seen as a country. Historically it has always been different than England, plus a historical rivalry and they do have some sort of self government.
So probably that's why they all formed football federations separately. English and Scottish football federations were the first I think, they also were the first to play internationals, against each other. Its self determination, they see eachother differently, they have strong own iden ies and I think thats why they want to keep it separately
Plus, for Scotland it's probably the only way that they have a sort of symbol that they are independent from the English and it's sort of the only way to try beat the English without war and vice versa
It's the same with Faroer islands and Denmark.
