France are drivel.

Spain beat them yet Spain looked really poor by their standards. Maybe they couldnt be arsed.

Malouda is a joke, he is utter drivel.

Seriously ? Think we have put up some of the most gutles performances in football history over the years. Not being negative, think tonight is to close to call to be honest, but we have put out some real spineless performances, think about the World Cup if you need examples.

Couldn't agree more about some of the past performances, especially those at the last world cup campaign. That was then and this is now, the mindset of this particular squad seems very upbeat unlike your own. To say "we have put up some of the most gutles performances in football history over the years" is basically naive and attention seeking. I suppose you cant wait till about 9.45 pm so that (if we lose) you can be the first on here to say i told you so :(
Dare say you wont be on your own there though.

We were deserved losers. I don't blame Young for the penalty, Hodgson should have taken him and Rooney off instead of Milner and Welbeck, cos they were both appalling.

Rooney shouldn't have got on the pitch this tournament. End of.

Didn't deserve it; we are three or four players short of a decent team.

I'm surprised we got this far, to be honest. If we had won on penalties, the Germans would have mauled us and the Italians would have been deservedly peed off.

Oh well; hopefully we can build on this - some good young players coming through and now a little bit of tournament experience.

I'm hopeful for the next World Cup.

We were awful in the 2nd half and extra time, best team won. Love em or hate em Terry and Lescott were superb, Rooney brings nothing to the table.
Nobody is going to beat the Germans anyway :(

Crying that too many people think Rooney is world class and will ever do anything worthwhile for England.

Carry on believing the media hype.

Well done Roy for managing to get that bunch of players so far in the tournament. Beat Sweden, beat Ukraine, drew with France, topped the group and managed to hold out for 120 mins against Italy.
Possession was 36/64 in favour of the Italians who had numerous chances to score but failed :D

Suppose there will be the usual 'experts' who think they could have done a better job than Hodgson in tomorrows press and on tv. :roll:

.................and on here.

Dreadful to watch, truly awful. I don't know how we managed to end up with 35% possession. No ambition whatsoever and we've gone out with a whimper.

I don't blame Hodgson, he had a limited bunch (although that's been the case for most England managers), no time to plan and he did the best he could. But I suspect people will lose patience with him pretty quickly over the next few months if we carry on playing like that.

Forgive me for disagreeing, if you watched the match tonight no one could accuse England of being pathetic or cowardly, they did as well as they could have done and deserve credit for that.

It was more the no ambition part of it that I wanted to highlight, which is why on reflection I removed the quote as I didn't think we were pathetic or cowardly. I didn't think France, Greece or the Czechs were pathetic or cowardly either, mind.

Cowardly, no, but they were pathetic. If they weren't they'd have won because Italy are really nothing special.
