England National Football Team Reviews

Once again England have been dumped out of a major international tournament and have disappointed the english people. But it's not only the players that ae to blame its also the press and in general the media. Time after time, Englands chances are hyped up by the media and once they fail they are slated by the media and crushed, which destroys ...

Absolutely disgraceful. The defence was nowhere and Shearer had alot left to be desired, Ince is past his best and Adams and Campbell were sluggish to say the least. A goalkeeper needs to instill confidence into his team mates, that is one of his roles, and Seaman did not fulfil that. Portugal outshone us in every department and our only two ...

I don't know if anyone saw Chris Waddle on Soccer AM this morning but in my opinion he should be snapped up by the F.A. and given Howard Wilkinson's job as Technical Director of Youth Football. Until the F.A. change their thinking and start encouraging the teaching of skill and technique rather than teaching our young players tactics and ...

Well done England for a phenomenally consistent performance leaving us another two years for all the hype to come back out about us being able to compete with any team in the world and then to fail miserably yet again. Why do we pretend that we have a chance every time. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE I think is the appropriate expression. We lost to ...

I think that the English football team is the worst we have had in many years and with the performance of Euro 2000 it shows. What are the likes of P.Neville and D.Wise doing in the squad when we have the likes of L.Bowyer and G.Barry around this is showing that Kevin Keegan is just sticking to the old players and not bringing in the youth that ...

Ok maybe I've gone too far - who the hell wants to be welsh, I bet Gigsy wished he had waited for the England call up....sorry.. I'm wandering. There are times though that I wish I was from a different country, this year it's Portugal.. at least I'd have something to cheer about and a Tan!! I'm ashamed, deeply, ...

The problem with English football is that we have not learnt anything for last 30 years. Every team in Europe, no matter how small the population are technically better than us. Teams that we used to beat comfortably i.e. Turkey have overtaken us. This stems from the Youth systems at professional football clubs and the so called ...

Ok, Heres my opinion on what are Englands major problems (BTW I'm not english!!). Firstly the obvious one - England have no left sided players. Phil Neville is not good enough to play at international level (and i'm not just saying this becuase gave away the penalty!). England need a left footed full back and with Le Saux injured ...

I can't say that I'm surprised at England's exit from Euro 2000 last night. England's performances throughout the championship have been lack lustre and of lesser quality than can be seen played by any Sunday football team. England were obviously playing for a draw against Romania. While this kind of attitude continues, ...

1. It is not all doom and gloom. England lost last night, but they nearly "won" (drew). If they had progressed, they realistically could have won the tournament. OK, so they're not the classiest side. OK, so the Portugese and the Romanians gave them primary school level lessons in passing and positional sense. But, while ...

sy what you like about phil neville, say what you will about nigel martyn. simple fact is we're not good enough. a team so heavily reliant on one man (beckham) was never going to win. look at the big name teams, all with four or five players who can turn a game. than look at england. two defeats and a win against a team who were shown up last ...

At the time of writing England need just a point to make the quater-finals of Euro 2000. Truly a boom time for the Three Lions. But to paraphrase Gordon Brown, it seems that's the way with England..... "it's boom or it's bust." Italia '90 - boom. We make the semi-finals, unlucky to lose (whisper it)to the Germans ...

If England want to balance their side as much as possible, then Nick Barmby is the obvious choice to start on the left. He plays there for Everton week in and week out and his performances this season have been outstanding. He is good in attack and terrier like in the midfield. There is certainly no doubt about his immense work rate. he will give ...

Months of preparation for Euro 2000 are over: Tickets have been ordered, paid for and eventually delivered, Hotels have been booked, transport has been arranged , all the hard work has been completed so roll on June 10th and let the party begin. Myself and a selection of friends have been following England around the World (well Europe) ...

Given his performances over the past few months for Everton and in the 120 minutes he played for England against Ukraine and Malta, it is about time Nick Barmby got the recognition he deserved. He was the blue eyed boy of English football after his performances durine Euro 96, then due to injury and the fact that he was playing in a struggling ...

Is the England team fatally flawed? Former international Chris Waddle certainly thinks so. What a git he is, just before a major championship he lets this little one out of the bag! All the talk in the run-up to Euro 2000 has been of problems of the left side of midfield. But Waddle, who won 62 caps, believes the trouble begins at the back. ...
