I feel sorry for our players who play in that team.

Reason?

Obvious if you watch the games , the standard of football in the England team is very poor.

Yeah it's like eating steak every day for dinner then having to switch to cat food for the summer.

A lot of cheers yesterday when we won that game, can't say i don't want us to win because that's not true, mainly because of the city boys playing but i lose all enthusiasm whenever we actually play because as a team the football is just awful to watch.

At the moment it's looking likely France will pip us to the group unless we can really take it to Ukraine and that is a big problem because the way things stand.. We'll get Spain next and unfortunately the way they keep the ball and the form Torres and a few others are coming into do we really stand a chance?

The only chance i think we have of winning it or going far is by winning the group and to do that we have to soundly beat Ukraine and better the French result, i still think we have a decent chance but eventually we'll have to play a decent team and history tells us we'll crumble.

Getting out of groups will be determined a sucess, Hodgson retained we then have the prospect of failing to qualify for World Cup again then he will be sacked. Oh what joy international football :-(

why all the england hate ?

plenty of city players playin and I know a fair few city fans and county fans at that who are there now

come on ENGLAND !!!!!!!

But there is nothing prouder than representing your country at the thing you love, I bet our players love playing for England. The standard isn't the same, but it's still enjoyable and I think the match yesterday proved that. Even if the fans won't support it, all of the players there will play for the shirt all tournament long. Except for Ashley Young, whose performances have been disgraceful.

We are a pretty shit side and at least everyone knows it. But we show plenty of passion and fighting spirit. We are fairly well organised. I'm getting good vibes from England at the minute.

What have county fans got to do with anything?
