England v Uruguay tonight

[QPRDave]

yeah facto seems right enough

[theblackmafia.]

Over-rated, over paid crock of an excuse for footballers. Where is the so called English passion? The chasing of the ball down, competing. The weather is not an excuse so it must be they are just useless. Pathetic knöbheads. It's like watching QPR when we got relegated.

[Rangers77]

Come back JT.

[Factamondo]

until we improve our coaching and stop making rediculous excuses ie the weather/pitch/we paly too many game we will continue to fail miserably!

[Del]

The England defence is pathetic. Cahill and Jagielka are not international quality, especially as a pairing. With someone decent alongside them you may get away with one but not both. Cahill looks decent at club level next to Terry. Baines has been useless and cost us the 2nd v Italy, not a patch on Cole, and it says something when Johnson, who is a defensive liability, is your best defender...!

I walk away disappointed as the next man, we are not good enough. But when I see the fcking jock in his tam o shanta, celebrating with the Uruguayans, the sheer hatred towards us the see U next, them btards would join ICISL against us. Remember that

[dsqpr]

We have to realise on the world stage we are no more a threat than say Poland or Austria are on the European stage....just also rans

Absolutely right Dave. I won't throw my toys out of the pram when we (QPR) lose to Spurs or Everton or Newcastle. Same principle when England lose to Uruguay - we are not better than them and have no right to expect to win against them, especially on South American soil.

England have been a little bit worse at every World Cup since 1990 and the trend continues.

[Factamondo]

over expectation is an english characteristic im affraid!

[BUSHRANGER1982]

England's players let the country down, AGAIN. What a surprise, NOT.

[Busheyboy]

not good enough, end of!

[Kit]

Like him or hate him Suarez is WORLD CLASS, England have.....................................not a World Class player in sight

[MYU]

Cheers up people... We Are Premier League and have good things to look forward too.

I blame the ref.

[Ginger Ninja]

This is why I can't get excited about England any more.

[QPR Richard]

I don't care what anyone says, Hodgson is a poor coach. Experimenting with Rooney out wide against Italy was ridiculous.

And Facto made a good point about the standard of coaching in this country. It's woeful. The evidence for this is we haven't got any world-class players, and technically our lads are weak. The national game is based on physical rather than technical ability.

Change that and we may have a chance one day.

Absolutely right mate. Nobody even approaching that level in any position on the park.

Although I'm not sure what else we could have expected as we have been a dreadful national side for years. Simply paid the price for not giving the younger players their chances earlier, instead relying on the same ones that have continually let us down. All bluster and no substance.
