My football team is being embarrassed so I've come to SCM - sort of normal behaviour

A game of woeful defending.

This is embarassing now!

Still plenty of time yet mate.

Hodgson might be unavailable again after this defensive performance.

Haha, quite possibly.

Capello to Liverpool please.
 
Rafa4pm,I agree that there's plenty of time - for Germany to score a few more. England have NO defence!

England defence. FUCKING AWFUL.

True, but it's also been completely exposed.

The midfield is a complete shambles, a totally mishappen mess that was obvious to all. No width, space left to get at the flanks, no speed at CB on the counter, and Barry and Lampard left to do something they can't, control the pace and play of the game.
 
The whole team needed ditching after the last tournament and should have been built up by new, young players who can play together.

We've been a cobbled together selection of 'star's' for far too long, and no manager has had the guts to shake it up.

This isn't a team. It's a mess.

Haha. I always preferred being neutral for the world cup, but I didn't need to get there this way.

When was the last time Wales qualified for anything?
 
I kind of want to be an England fan, but I'm glad I'm not. Apologies to the England fans here, I feel your pain, I do. But I find this rather funny.
 
Capello made the same mistake as the previous England mamagers.

He should have built this team around Gerrard instead of using him as a utility player!
 
I fucking hate the complacency and arrogance of English fans, players and media based on absolutely fuck all other than something that happened nearly 50 years ago. Germany aren't amazing but they're miles better than England. They have a long way to go to be thought of as serious competitors on the world stage.

Full time.
 
I guess Paul the psychic octopus was on to something....
 
Hal Germany did fairly well today, but they weren't anything special. We lost today because we are a toothless and clueless group of overpaid and lazy players, not even close to resembling a team.

Germany are better. They are better technically, defensively, tactically, offensively - everything. And you're right, they're nothing special. England are even worse.

I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or disagreeing with me?
 
Well done to Gareth Barry on giving up the ball for the 3rd goal and forgetting he has to try and shield Ozil from the ball on the 4th goal ...

England need to learn from the German team ....
 
I'm pretty much agreeing with you, but I think they are beatable and yeah because we are shit we didn't even look (bar a 10 minute spell) like doing that. Bad times.
 
I really don't think that England were lazy. They were playing in a stupid system that they clearly aren't confident with, against a good counterattacking side with more technical ability.

Oh well ha yeah. It is bad. I really believe that the media don't help, nor do the players help themselves. They're not a great footballing team, there are not many amazing players. One or two, Gerrard and Rooney ON FORM can get into almost any other team. That's it. There needs to be a bit of humility and realism in this nation, not complacency and arrogance.

The commentator said during the match that only one or two German players would get into that England team? One or two England players would get into their team in reality.
