1 Yes we were shyte for 30 mins at the start 2 From when we scored till half time we had the momentum and had the linesman allowed Lampards goal we stood a very good chance due to the pressure and momentum (Forget the way we fell to pieces) 3 Yes we were utter shyte and got ripped apart after lamps hit bar in 2nd half which again would have made it 2-2 4 Terry made Upson look at fault for ABYSMAL POSITIONING and going awol. Cole had a nightmare , The defence were too seperated. I wouldnt have had Terry and Cole in the squad both are vile scum and thats my own personal opinion. 5 I feel Capello is a good coach, he suffered with injuries to Barry, Cole, Rooney, King leading up to finals. 6 I would bet everything i have in the World that Harry Redknapp is England Manager very soon.

Jgfc it was exactly what you said **** also rubbish appalling embarassing . Mr capello if he stays i hope brings in the younger players for euro qualifiers because most of this squad are old or just not good enough. I feel sorry for the fans that went poor sods.
I am the only one who can see that playing Gerrard on the right is just plaing fooking stupid?! IT DOES NOT WORK!!!! Fabio Capello is getting paid £6m a year and he still cannot see that.
Everyone that played for England during the World Cup should never be allowed to play for them again. The under 21's recently won the under 21 European Championship and beat Spain in the final, so the whole squad should be promoted to the full international side. The current so called golden generation of older players obviously aren't any good, so they should be replaced with players that know how to win things.
Germany have got it right. They may not win the cup this time around but they're going to have a hell of a team at the Europeans in 2012.
I agree that our younger players should get a chance now. Any player who will be 30 or over (goalkeepers excepted) at the European Championships in 2012 should be told "thanks for your past contributions but we're going with youth now".
I also think the problems with the game starts with the very top. The FA needs scrapping and starting again. It won't happen though because they'll never vote themselves out. We get a chance to vote out the government every 5 years so it should be the same with football. All clubs within the FA should get 1 vote on who they want running the sport. Re-election every 4 years immediately after the World Cup. Do the same with EUFA and FIFA.
In my honest opinion I think football has gone backwards since the creation of the Premier League. The rich clubs get richer and the poor clubs get poorer. The top teams poach the best players because they can afford it so therefore keep at the top. Boring.
The Champions League is a prime example of how unfair the system is. It's usually the same old teams getting the cash benefits. My suggestion is to scrap the league part, have more teams in it but in a straight knockout. The best team will still probably win but the smaller teams will get a slice of the cake. You could take the 128 top teams in Europe and have a straight knockout. All in the hat, no seeding no preferential treatment.
Do the same with the EUFA cup and even more of the smaller teams get a shout.
All pie in the sky I know but something needs to be done.
I struggle with some of what was said above. These players, are on the whole, great week in week out in the Premiership. Why when they put on an England shirt does it all go wrong. Rooney was the prime example but not the only one. But Dogme, are you seriously saying he should never play for England again?
I am sorry I don't see whay we would keep Capello. Played players in postions they were not comfortable with - Terry on the right side of defence, Gerrard on the left and when we needed goals he brings on Heskey! Who has the best goals scoring ratio for England - Crouch, and he doesn't get on.
I saw Andy Gray on Sky last night. He has always been opposed to England being managed by a foreign coach. I don't particularly share that view but he did make the point that we have had two foreign coaches and the argument was that they could bring something to the national game that has been missing. Two foreign coaches and the same old failure. None of the other major teams have foreign coaches. I would like to see Harry given a go. If anyone can get the best out of players it is him.
Not sure he would take the job though - I think he likes the wheeling and dealing of the transfer market too much and probably likes to have his team with him everyday.
Right here we go, it will take England twenty years to get to the top again, we need to start coaching kids as young as eight in how to pass ,keep the ball and look comfortable with it. All coches are worried about now is the fastest and the biggest kids, to the detriment of the smaller skillfull ones. And if i hear we need passion and pride again i'll scream thats a subsitute for ability and technique. Rant over.

Can not say ALL the players (possible thou's over 25)
