2nd half was a shambles...Specially the 'defence'

Yeah "defence" it seems doesn't include tackling in McClowns mind. I can see the Half Time team talk now.

McClown: Chaps we are 1-0 and crusing to victory. All we have to do is pile everybody in the box and stand there. Eh that's all :cool:
 
sven?

come on how u do know that sven would have even got close

if i remember england drew most of their matchs 0-0 when he was in charge

england where pomping everyone till now

teams who sit on a 1-0 lead always come short
rather loose trying to the kill the game, than loose defending

although u will be nailed and told you should have defended, tough life being a manager

You want to compare Sven's managerial cv with McClaren's??;)

Sven's England side never during qualifying had to rely on other teams helping them out to qualify. He got the job done. McClaren's side has never convinced in any game.
 
ppl think russia playing israel is going to be easy?

i think we should wait and see first before declaring england out

All the money, all the players, all the talk and yet England are on the verge of not qualifying for Euro 2008. Just look at who they've been up against. That's pretty sad.
 
Steve McClaren has pointed an accusing finger at Spanish referee Luis Medina Cantalejo for the penalty decision which handed Russia an equaliser last night in Moscow. England were in control until that spot-kick, which sparked the panic which led to Russia going 2-1 ahead. England are now almost certain to miss out on Euro 2008.

England Win But Lose Owen

Steve McClaren admits the loss of Michael Owen for Wednesday's potential Euro 2008 decider against Croatia is a "massive blow" for England

Newcastle hitman Owen suffered a thigh strain just after the half-hour mark in Friday night's 1-0 friendly win over Austria - and now faces a month out.

Newcastle must be furious.
 
GO SCOTLAND :)))
knock those cheating italian bastards out

Israel 1-1 Russia

Russia piling on the pressure. Not looking good for England
 
90+4 mins: The referee checks his watch and blows for full-time. England have been done a huge favour and the win means they only need a draw against Croatia on Wednesday to reach the finals.

90+4 mins: Israel hack the ball downfield and Gabulov has to come out of his area to hack clear.

90+3 mins: Russia suddenly look bereft of energy and Israel hit them again on the counter attack. In comes the cross and Alberman's volley is well saved by the goalkeeper.

90+2 mins: GOAL GOLAN! Amazing scenes as Russia are caught napping in defence and Golan beats the offside trap and beats the goalkeeper. England are very much alive.

RESULT: ISRAEL 2 RUSSIA 1

Lucky England!
 
That is always fun.

So much talent, and they always end up playing the defensive game. Imagine Crouch up front alone, Lamps and Gerrard attacking behind, Wright-Phillips and Cole as wing, and some one decent in the holding role.

Could be a goalfest!!!

No Fat Frank :mad:

With him there is no balance. Hardgrieves or Barry is better suited IMO
