*********** ENGLAND v ITALY (QF) - Kiev *************

[severnside gull]

Almost relieved we don't have to go forward to be beaten by the Germans again...... we were very very poor

 

[Simster]

Shrug.

We weren't good enough anyway.

 

[inland seagull]

well justice has been done, if only we had made a bit of a game of it that was all we ask

 

[brunswick]

thats 2 hours of my life i will never get back...... good night all.

 

[oldalbiongirl]

Oh well. Weren't going to win it anyway.

 

[del strangefish]

Thank god for that. Germany would have hit double figures against us.

 

[doogie004]

some things just never change same ole england

 

[Icy Gull]

Can't complain about the result or the effort of England but can we finally put to bed the idea that Rooney is anywhere near being world class please.

 

[Beach Hut]

Oh well, we did OK to get this far

come on, we weren't that bad, held Italy to a goaless draw. dull, frustratingly ineffective, yes poor. just not very very.

This.

He was dog shit for the entire 120 minutes

Yep. This 100%

 

[JJB]

Should have taken Sir Rickie Lambert, just for that situation.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Wens world cup? Lol

That idea is under the duvet, with winter pajamas and a hot water bottle, never to be disturbed again. At least its only Man Utd paying his 200k a week. Looks a laughable decision, that.

yes, been pretty pointless. not match sharp, but really no excuse.

Poor! Shambles of a performance. Yet again scared of the opposition giving possession away again and again! Thank god we aren't playing the Germans or the Spanish.

 

[Bwian]

Let's take that f***ing star off of the shirt now-it means nothing anymore.

 

[perseus]

All the right footers hit it to the keeper's right except Pirlo. Saves an embarrassment against Germany though.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Ashley Young is shit.
