McClaren I hate your GUTS.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Not really a surprise is it?

 

[Tooting Gull]

Behind Turkey

Oh dear. That must be a first.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Hopefully this will go someway to proving that the ‘golden generation’ should not believe there own hype.

 

[Digweeds Trousers]

So I start getting involved here - or is this fact enough that we are now pretty much of similar stature in the beautiful game

 

[Mendoza]

Behind Romania, Croatia, Turkey, Cameroon and Russia is pretty soul destroying

Wait til they play each other next and see who is the winner. That will test how much of a gap there is

Under McLaren we would have probably have lost. I mean, they're a better bunch than Macedonia!

With the exception of Cameroon, we can have no arguments with that. All the European sides easily showed more ability than us last month.

15th is about right though.

 

[1234andcounting]

I think we should be grateful for 15th. There must have been at least 10 countries at Euro 2008 who are better than England. Presumably at least Argentina and Brazil are, plus a few African nations.

I was thinking that. Given our current set of players (yes, some ARE good but we don't have a balance) and our recent results I think 15th is pretty accurate.

Italy 2nd.....my arse

I know what you mean, but I guess the World Cup win will keep them up there for some while yet.

 

[RM-Taylor]

I don't understand how Argentina can go from 1st down to 6th

Should be:

1 Argentina
2 Spain
3 Brazil
4 Holland
5 Germany
6 Italy
7 Russia
8 Croatia
9 Portugal
10 Turkey
11 Czech Republic
12 France
13 Scotland
14 England

Well losing to Columbia and drawing with Ecuador should do it.

 

[Mellotron]

Watch England go back up to around 10th with wins over Czech Republic and Croatia near end of year.
