England National Football Team Reviews

So England have qualified for Germany 2006, lets rejoice! The way they have been playing they wont get past the group stages, the team lacks direction, leadership and style. Reading the headlines in the paper has been amusing the last few days. First you have Sven saying 10 of the top 50 players in the world are English. You could ...

I appreciate that this review is a little out of date, but a few weeks after the drama, it is worthwhile reliving the moments. France v England - Euro 2004 Well. Where are on earth do you start? Things could have been so different. If David Beckham had converted the penalty the game would have been all but over. I ...

The dust has settled on another tournament and yet again a nation weeps as it?s country exits the competition earlier than expected. Naturally being England, we?ve yet again gone out of penalties. Anything else just wouldn?t be the English way. However I don?t know about you but after a few days of Euro ...

Before I start this review, I would like to say I am a complete Patriot, nothing gets me going and makes the blood run round my body like England competing at something, anything, and when it comes to Tournaments like Euro 2004, well, lets just say I get a little crazy. That said, I am fed up of this Country, I am ashamed of the way we ...

This time last year England lost to the eventual world champions Brazil at the quarter final stage. Has the intervening twelve months seen England make progress?. Some of the performances have been less than convincimg, but results are what counts and in that respect Ericksonn and his squad aren't doing too badly. I ...

UPDATE: I wrote this review 10 hours before the England match, it's now a day later and we brilliantly won 2 - 0. Oh me of little faith. I'll be updating again properly, but for now, here's the original review, which is almost amusing. Before I start let me say that I'm not an expert in club football and I love to ...

Before the kick off of the game between England and Macedonia a question was put to David Beckham. He was asked ?Is there a hole in your life on what England have achieved? His answer was ?No not really? If this is the case then he and other England players who think like him should not play for their country. ...

OK, this was supposed to be easy, wasn't it? Before the game, the talk in the stadium was not whether England will win, but whether it would be 4, 5 or 6 goals they would put past the Macedonians. In the end, the 2-2 result will have tomorrows papers describing a catastrophe of astronomic proportions, but HANG ON A MINUTE...... 1. The ...

Right I have given a very strong title but this is the true opinion i have of England's national team. Firstly how on Earth can you call reaching the quarter finals of the world cup an achievement? If England was as great at football for them to merit winning the world cup, then only the final itself would be the ultimate ...

What's the difference between English and Italian National team? I don't know, but I know the reason they both were eliminated from this world cup. Simply they played too defensive! England-Sweden 1-1 England played a good first half scoring with Soul Campbell and showing a good attacking play. In the second ...

So our dreams of glory have again turned to ashes. England's World Cup bid goes loops up in the quarter finals just as the nation foolishly dared to hope we could go all the way. It's deja vue,a familiar tale which goes like this; stagestruck novices, we struggle to find our feet against keep-ball Johnny Foreigner in the first ...

Ronaldinho fired Brazil into the World Cup semi-finals today, a stunning freekick clinching a come-from-behind 2-1 win over England in Shizuoka. But the Paris Saint Germain starlet will have to sit out the semi-final showdown against either Senegal or Turkey after getting himself controversially sent off just seven minutes after his ...

With the way the world cup has gone so far, it would hardly be the biggest upset in the world if they beat Brazil...and they can. Brazil are hardly playing the best football of their history and under Sven Goran Eriksson England are looking very solid. With Brazil's style of attacking play and England's speed on the break it ...

My all Time England XI ----------------------- As the World cup is well under way and England are performing quite well I thought I would share my view of England?s best XI with you. I will first of all point out I will only be using players I have seen play so this rules out any players like Charlton etc. I feel this is ...

“Games for millions…” There are some games which invoke your mind, there are some games which invoke your physical strength, there are some games, which invoke your mental and physical strength, but there are some games which is 11/2hrs of pure entertainment. Soccer or football falls into this category. ...

It's an interesting philosophical question. Outside of his relationship with David Beckham, can Diego Simeone be said to exist? On the evidence of the BBC's commentary on the Argentina vs. Nigeria game on Sunday morning, the answer would appear to be no. Never mind that he finished the game as captain of the World Cup favourites, that he ...

I'd like to discuss the dodgy candidates for Englands next mission in Japan , and let's be fair it is a mission , nothing is ever easy in the world of International Football . The top ten dodgy candidates - should they stay or should they go ? . . . are as follows : - (10) David Beckham 100% fit this player is a ...

This is Jago74's squad for the forthcoming World Cup. Feel free to critisize or applaud!!!!!! 1.DAVID SEAMAN A little past his best but still the best keeper around.Been there done it(has the tshirt and the postcards and the hat with seagull poo on it!!) 2.DAVID JAMES Putting the 'dodgy keeper' tag behind with ...

As the world cup approaches I feel that my presence should once again be felt around the dooyoo network. Over tar past few weeks the England team has been in the press and the media a lot. There is constant guessing over whom Sven will not only take to the world cup but the starting 11 that he will play for the majority of the matches. ...

Keeper. David Seaman, David James, Nigel Martyn, Ian Walker or Richard Wright? All are great goalkeepers, David James has been absolutely fantastic for West Ham this season and has the best hair of the bunch, but David Seaman returned from injury in fine style, surely the best English keeper at the moment. Gary Neville would have to play ...
