England v Japan friendly ITV1 Kick off 1.15pm

apologies liam, for not falling in line with the rag press.

Rag press? The rags seem to take a funny pride in not liking England. Might just be because of all their Irish supporters.

Didn't get to watch it over here, but heard that Hart made two great saves. Adam Johnson didn't even play? Fuck Fabio.

i`d be happy if no city players are picked, theyre realy not needed, super wayne will win it on his own.

Once again Heskey proved he's not even League 1 quality. What the fuck Capello sees in him I will never know.
Shrek seemd to want to hack out at anything in an opposing shirt, and minge-mouth was at least a yard off pace - again.
SWP looked dangerous when he came on (which is a damn sight more than Walcott ever could), and the rest of them just didn't seem bothered. On another day the Japs could have put three past us.

All in all, yet another totally unconvincing England display. All we can hope for is that things take a turn for the better once the tournament itself start.

Rag press - journos like Winter who have been championing England United for the WC trophy since about February.

Based on that defensive performance we won't even make it past the group stages.

im putting a tenner on england to get knocked out of group stages tomoz. They are good enough i just dont see any desire from them any will like they show at club level.

It was a poor performance but none of those players would have wanted to get injured this close to the finals.
England won't win the World Cup but they'll be a darn sight better once the real games start.

 

[oversea supporter]

The players are learning to work together.
These japanese players are Richard Dunne fanclub.

 

[stonerblue]

what's the fuckin point of picking players based on their league form and then playing them COMPLETELY OUT OF POSITION...?

From what i saw the England team had no shape, discipline or clue.
