I'm looking forward to this, but with a little trepidation, based on past failures, and the weakening of the squad. We've not won it since 1984. But we should have good enough players to give it a real go this time.
First England game tonight 5.15 KO against the Czechs on Sky.

Good luck lads! We're all counting on you.
(Well me anyway)
Sky? FFS. Even the womens finals are on normal tv. Good luck anyway, we have a strong squad that could go far.

It's crunch time. I can't say I'm confident we won't shit out as usual.
Just keepin' me fingers crossed.
(yes I know no one gives fuck but as this is ostensibly a football site I thought I'd mention it).

What a thriller eh. We didn't close down quick enough, still we just have to win on Sunday now.
I've never known so many players to tread on the ball and fall over.
And all those yellow cards?
The ref was card happy, very harsh on most of the bookings he gave (to England ofcourse).
We should still qualify alright though

17-06-2007, 15:45
Well it's shit or bust time. I do not want them coming home with their tail between their legs just yet.

I don't want to talk about it. Suffice to say it was the worst performance I can remember at any level.
Milner, Nugent and Richardson oh my God!
(and some others)
Fair enough, give em' some slack though, every player/person have there odd days!
i thought good game...it make me laugh thats Derbyshire scored 2nd goal then some serbia players attack him because he should kick ball away thats one of serbia injured on floor. So what! :nodyes: And then Huddlestone come on in 90mins then sentoff just 2mins because i think foul language lol...its great to watch!:hahaha:
Richardson is not great, Lita is very good, Reo-coker is brilliants, always win ball.:thumbup1: Also Carson had some great save!:nod:
Well Done England.
COME ON ENGLAND, YOU CAN DO AGAINST HOLLAND IN SEMIFIANL!!!!:thumbup:

In all honesty, I can understand why they were so pissed off, but in the end one doesn't have to put the ball out of play any more.

I did. In the first two games. This was totally unacceptable.

Well let's hope the lads can get their fingers out at last.
But it don't look good. :animatedfear:

come on lads!!! It's about to start!!
Young is back on the left wing after a match suspension (accumulated yellows)

England leading 1-nil against Holland. Reo-Coker will miss the Final (if they go through) due to accumulation of yellow cards.

Apparently its 1-1 now.

Holland equalize... same deal as the England-Serbia match. An English player was down in the box.... oh the irony :animatedfear:
Anyone who wants to watch, here is a quality link. NO P2P :nodyes:

:nodyes: good link isn't it. I hope the final is on this one aswell if England get through.
They scored in the last minute aswell - if Holland win we will be pissed. Lita looks on form, I see he's scored a couple of times this week.

I wouldn't be too pissed. Holland have been torturing us for the last 45 mins.
Not looking good for us now. We are down to 10 men with one injured aswell.

Plus English players look very tired. They're holding for the penalties... but Holland are getting closer and closer to scoring :animatedfear:

Milner gets a yellow. He won't play the final if they go through.
that's 3 out of the 4 starting midfielders that won't be in the final, (again, if they go through today). Milner, Reo and Noble
Tom Huddlestone is banned aswell, who do we have who can replace them?

20-06-2007, 18:47
Hopefully we can grab a late winner, but penalties seems the best option for us.
RedRabbit
20-06-2007, 18:57
3-3 in penalties both teams have missed one
RedRabbit
20-06-2007, 18:58
4-4 and now sudden death :animatedfear:
This shootout is making my hair gray :nodyes:
Are we taking first? Hopefully so the pressure wont be on us as much.
RedRabbit
20-06-2007, 19:03
reo-coker's kick is saved... if the dutch score they they go through
RedRabbit
20-06-2007, 19:04
he missed :yikes: another round of penalties... currently 7-7 after 9 rounds
this is pretty damn tense now :boat:
check out the dutch coach's face when taylor scored :LolLolLolLol:
RedRabbit
20-06-2007, 19:09
this is ridiculous ... 9-9 :yikes:
Well there better than the senior team. Come on lads!!
This is fucking class :nodyes:
RedRabbit
20-06-2007, 19:16
second chance for the dutch to win and it's saved by Carson
12-12
Now Ferdinand hits the woodwork, another chance for the Dutch :animatedfear:
Ferdinand misses. could be over now.
RedRabbit
20-06-2007, 19:16
It's over .... lucky 13... The Dutch are in the final :nod:

20-06-2007, 19:18
that was about 33 penalties in all... unf*cking believable :hahaha:

Unlucky lads, never mind.
What a penalty shoot-out!!! Walked in an everyone was watching it on SSN. There whinging everywhere about dutch keeper being off his line

Right I know they did brilliant and everything, but why didn't they use Vaughan, he could've been playing for U19, instead of being unused on the bench all the time for U21, hes just gained aload of tears on his soulders instead of some confidence from games. Should've brought him on, he would've caused a bit of chaos :|
Stephen Taylor hailed as the new Terry Butcher on SSN this morning.

21-06-2007, 11:49
it all went wrong though for them really. Taylor hobbling 10 men, Onouha off injured that was like no centre backs nearly.
And as for bringing on Vaughn, the only expanation is Pearce is a plank.
Leighton Baines a little Wigan player,come on lads do it for ENGLAND
