England Vs Poland - Match Thread

[Len Rum]

we are a QF team at best and that is with luck. The press should actually start to acknowledge this and relieve some of the pressure on the team next year.

Unfortunately the press wont and again they will build them up should we come through this game

We'll be the first team home from the finals. We're crap!

Bit harsh that mate, there's no reason we .can't get out of the group as second team , thereafter probably QF is the best we can hope for ,at least we'll have a day out in Brazil.

All down to that sublime pass from Jimmy.

From BBC Sport:

GOAL - England 2-0 Poland - Steven Gerrard (88 mins)
There it is! Qualification in the bag. Jack Wilshere turns the ball over the top into space, Steven Gerrard chases it down, cuts inside a tired challenge from Kamil Glik and then just about gets there before toeing the ball into the net. Get those plane tickets booked...

Cunts.

It's that bloody agenda again!

How many think Hodgson is a shit manager now ? 1 defeat in 24 now and been constant slagging off. Finally he and the players will get the credit they fully deserve

Woy is pants. But I`ll give you 10/10 for patriotism.

He does tend to bang the drum, does our bubble blower. All credit to him for itSurprised to see he was still on here at this stage of the evening though, considering he wasn't happy at some of the content earlier on in the evening.

I let my steam off on here as facebook is even worse , I just don't get why English people slag off the England team , give no thought to the fact were playing an opposition that is also desperate to win. Everyone seems to moan and criticise every team selection, every player and every sub. I blame the media personally, they highlight every detail and overblow the situation when we lose - much like they doing to Joe Hart at the moment.

I'd be happy to see us have a good go, knowing that we're not going to be one of the favourites. I'd, just once, like to see us overachieve in a competition. We always seem to do exactly what's expected of us (not by the press, admittedly) and no more.

to be fair most want us to win but the inter club rivalries always raise there heads

Yeah, no mention of Jimmy's pass there on ITV analysis.

If you can get out of the group then anything is possible in a knockout tournament. Look at previous teams that have won tournaments, Denmark, Greece, Chelsea to name a few. It doesn't happen often but it can and England are nowhere near as bad as people like to make out.

Credit where its due to England but that really was a poor Poland side.
