2008 European Championships Qualifying

Yeah, well done Israel, but is anyone else feeling that at the moment I'm not awfully bothered about England. I would be if we weren't there when it was going on next summer, but at the moment I'm not sure if I could care less about England. Na actually, I do care about them, and hope they get through, but I'm not enthusiastic about them at all.

Club >> Country

International football is pointless. There just isn't (and never will be) the same amount of passion shown as you'd find at domestic level.

When and England player gets beat they still have the healthy £200,0000,0000,0000,0000 per minute wage that they are on to soften the blow.

Disclaimer - That may or may not be the actual funding they recieve.

I care about them, I follow them all the way, I won't get as down when they lose as I will do when united lose but they still mean a lot to me. I bet all these people would be jumping on the bandwagon if we were winning games in cracking form at Euro 2008. It is frustrating when they have a crap manager and some of the players don't care but when players like Rooney and Terry give 100% it helps get some of the pride back. It's about supporting them when their shite!

They've been shite 16 years and I've supported them 16 years.

I agree with Phil.

Club > Country

Arsenal > The rest. (This is actually true statistically speaking)

If you don't support your National team, you can suck it but if they're shite, call them shite and support them.

Madman, I don't care about the English national team because i'm Welsh. However, because I reside in England I still have an opinion about them and it's a very simple one; They have some of the best players in the world, but with that clueless ginger twat at the helm you couldn't win a rigged raffle. How on earth two professional England coaches (Sven & Sven II) have failed to realise that Gerrard and Lampard doesn't work together when the rest of the country has realised it amazes me.

 

[PhilD123]

I do care about them, I do support them and of course I want them to go to the Euro's. I just don't think McLaren's the right man for the job and actually I'm worried that if we get through, everyone will forget how poor we've been since McLaren took over. If our national side is and has always been so great then we should have won more than 1 major trophy.

Now? I've been criticising them for the last 2 years and rightly so.

I didn't say I wouldn't support them and I expect them to get at least a draw but I also expected them to beat Andorra, Macedonia...

Scotland were robbed with that laughable free-kick decision.

The linesman on the otherside gave Scotland dodgy decision thought...it's great just saying to your scottish friend "Israel are winning 2-1 now "

I have to disagree with that, there aren't many worse feelings than seeing England go out of a major tournament on penalties again!!

We need to pull out all the stops to get Mourinho!

Ahahaha your national team is even worse!

 

[evertonfan]

I know. Any team with Craig Bellamy as their captain is just begging for trouble.

Croatia lost 2-0 to Macedonia lol...England can finish top.
