Barry Cartman Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I was reminded of this classy tweet from earlier in the year by Rooney 'zzzzzzzzzzz pga golf is on. Come on boys. Funny that 2 toures was there all the way and lost. Haha.' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I am not sure I even understand that. 2 toures? What's that mean? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBKalle Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 All of the so called golden generation has done nothing, and I can't wait until they all are gone. Harsh on Lampard and Cole. Well considering all the hype many of those "world class" players England had for the last decade or so, the end product has been disappointing to say the least. Forget the clubs, because it's pretty obvious the biggest factor behind English clubs winning in European Cups were foreign stars, with probably the partial exception of Beckham at United and Gerrard at Liverpool. With the NT pretty much none of the "Stars" managed to shine because, let's be honest, you can't turn a handful of remarkable supporting acts into a group of leaders. Add the chronic lack of a proper manager [you had one in Capello, finally, but oh no he's not English and he's a bit of a hardass, let's get rid of him!] and there you go... A group of stagefrightened detueragonists directed by quite inadequate directors will always fluff their lines and deliver a poor show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baptista_8 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Capello who oversaw our woeful 2010 WC. He got rid of himself, btw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluedave Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yeah, everyone was mostly still behind Capello. Got a bit of a backlash after the WC but did pretty well rebuilding that. Seemed like he'd learn't from his mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Capello got a deserved backlash. To qualify impressively he then went and contacted all the old timers and made a real mess out of things tactically as well as on a personal level. I am still astounded at the naivety of our defending after getting back to 2-1 at half-time against Germany. I am not sure he totally repaired that. FA made him wait for a stamp of approval rather than saying you're in/out and then went on to go on about an English Manager. I think his departure was alright for both sides. Not sure he was totally into it at that stage and FA were like 'know what, it's alright if you leave' I think everyone realised it's not the qualification that is an issue. We are gonna get there but were we sure Capello would be any better in a tournament? Luckily for him he left before we knew the answer to that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
