Rio being injured
Hargreaves being injured!!!! wtf.
The ball. LOL
The altitude. (because it wasnt the same for the germans was it...?)
Capello being wankston.
Its laughable. England players were NOT good enough, they got shown up bigtime by the first half decent team they played against.
Draws and a win against 3 poor>average teams and they were expected to win the world cup, one half against a good opposition and they were well and truly gubbed.
Don't think capello is to blame either, he used the same players and formation that got them through qualifying without much trouble. TBH... what manager is better than capello that would do the job too?
Players to blame, not good enough, not enough fight, not enough motivation, simple as that, imo.
Agree 100% but you missed one extra statement from your last line, you should also have added "not enough ideas".

Couldn't agree more but whilst the supporters keep paying a fortune week in and week out to watch these tossers the wankers will still keep getting their huge paypacket.

Bollocks to 5, make it 9, that way when the Euros & World Cup come round every few years we would hopefully have more decent players to pick a squad from. Most of the "big" name English players (Rooney, Gerrard, Terry etc) are being helped by foreign team mates to look good when playing league games but as soon as you play an international game those foreign team mates are on the opposite side and are usually running rings round us.
