So this was England's best shot in 60 years, huh?
>>156832297Their best shot is always the next one
>>156832297So what is their actual excuse for being shit? Even filling their team with africans hasnt worked.
>>156832461I can't comprehend why they decided to switch to the same tactics that eliminated all the previous teams that played Argentina.
>America will invest in soccer and win it all before bongland
>>156833460They had to follow the script
>>156832461it wasn't an african making a decision to park the bus for 40 minutes
Man and I was really feeling it this time.
>>156832297this was their best shot in a long time, but unironically >>156832377they have superb development and talent, and the pipeline should keep producing. their biggest obstacle is mental and they refuse to see it (blame the manager syndrome)
>>156834055I knew they had lost the moment they subed Gordon. Little nigga was the best player for England today. Absolutely baffling decision. Even fishy I daresay
What the actual fuck is their problem? They're the birthplace of football, they have by far the strongest league, they have a culture of determination and calm rationale and yet they have ZERO and keep losing trophies to jovial and incompetent mediterraneans who are also their historical rivals who always lost out to GREAT Britain. When the fuck are they going to win? They should be overpowered in this game, not only historically, but until this day. They shouldn't have ZERO in the modern age and the last one in 1966, they should have FIVE, with other clawing and gnawing at their greatness and still falling short. It needs to come home the next time and then the next 4 times over.
>>156833460Because it worked against Mexico and classic euro arrogance said "we are not some small team like Egypt. Surely we can park the bus the right way"
>>156834308Argentina's strength has been exactly their determination up to the last minute and ability to out-gas opponents. England was weakmind.
>>156834308British players care too much about their clubs and can't work together for the national team. Cold chested, afraid of getting injured, don't want to show their power level to teammates they have to play against in EPL next month, etc.
Our real best chance was 2002; note our route was Turkey in the semis, then either Korea or the worst German side in 50 years (who we'd beaten 5-1 away a year prior) in the final.All we had to do was note concede a fluke Ronaldinho free-kick and we were basically the 2002 World Champions. Then consider how close we were to Euro 2004 until Rooney got sent-off; they should have been a double-trophy win.
>>156834451Rooney got sent off in 2006, he got injured in 2004
>>156834101their biggest obstacle are the ngubus
>>156832297Not as close as our biggest shots in the past 60 years.
>>156834451Bet you're one of those fags who think Ronaldinho wasn't aiming for the net
>>156834114because he did it with Norway and they scrapped that win, so nobody complained the first time
Next world cup for sure..
>>156832297team wise our best shots were in the 2000s, the side was packed with stars but they couldn't iron out their club rivalry grudges to play well as a team
>>156834737>team wise our best shots were in the 2000sAnd yet you didn't even qualify for the 2008 Euros
>>156834793yeah I said we didn't really play very well as a team back then, but player wise the team was very strong
