England Vs Bulgaria - bothered?
- Thread starter Oscar
- Start date
We were far from shit in 1970, we lost to W. Germany due to a bad substitution and a very nervous stand-in keeper.

Yeah I'm not that bothered about it, more of a pain in the arse that ruining the Seagulls games, i used to think National team most important but we got a bunch of players who just not good enough or choose to not be good enough and i expect us to lose today.
I will properly watch the game but like someone else already said really got disillusioned with England, if they players not going to care why should we.

All those who are "not interested" and "not bothered" about tonights game - how bothered will you be if we fail to make it to the Finals in 2012 ?
There'll be some of you having a RIGHT old whinge-up then.

It's the Euros, not the WC, so personally I won't be that bothered at all. I struggle to get enthusiastic for this tournament to be honest.
No doubt I'd comment on here about how shit we are though, what with it being a message board and all that.

The thing is, I expect us to get to the finals, I dont expect much more...why will it be different then to what he have had in the last 45 years with numerous managers!
I think people are just fed up with the "this will be our tournament" and turns into Deja vu where we simply cannot play as a team.
Arguably based on the last world cup, USA and Ghana are better than England!
Why, as they have team work and solidarity!

Sure its not as big and important as the World Cup, but its still a tournament, and is still a considerable feather in the cap for whoever wins. This country would go NUTS if we won the Euros (just look at the feelgood factor from Euro 96). Do I want a bit of that in 2012 ? HELL YES.
I dunno how people can be so indifferent about it. Yes, ok, we were shite again at this years WC, and the players let us down big time. But that doesn't dampen my desire to see England go and WIN something in my lifetime.
I can't let the disdain I hold for SOME of the England players taint my overall support for England. I'm still desperate to see us win something.

Thanks Greens :(
I'll be showing the same level of commitment to the cause this evening that the players have for the last little while

Why not? We did it then, and Theo Walcott is in form...
I don't think it will. I was pissed off that we didn't qualify for 2008 but the tournament went on without England and it wasn't long before we realised we'd have had no chance even if we had qualified.
The WC is a totally different beast though (IMO). We simply HAVE to get there.

I am bothered, I hope we win, and win well. But I don't know if I can be arsed to watch it! I love the national team, but recently they don't have the inspiration that they once did. The players and manager (and the FA) have let the nation down. They can't expect everyone to suddenly forget they dashed our hopes at the World Cup, and played without any feeling.
Will I watch it, probably. Will I moan at ITV's coverage yes. Will I be pleased if we win, yes.
Come on England.

Doesn't matter what manager we have we still fail
The players don't seem to have the passion or desire,maybe they just are seriously overrated end of.
I don't blame capello as he seemed to discipline players well,i think the players ego's are out of control.I reckon we should knock the lot of them on the head and build a solid young side for the future.

strong and stable with me, or...
Can't understand the abuse of Capello, it was an unprecedented qualifying campaign, and we've had easier groups than that in the past. He didn't ask his captain to sleep with his team mates girl, neither did he ask his squad to turn into the biggest bunch of spoilt pre-madonna's the world has ever seen.
Frank Lampard holds a world title though: most shots in a world cup finals without a goal. 2 world cups, 9 matches he has managed 40 shots without netting (he achieved the record even before the goal that wasn't!).
Whoever manages these overpaid, overhyped idiots is on a hiding to nothing. Not good enough. Until our PE teachers in every school have at least a few days proper coaching courses to achieve certain levels, we will not produce footballers. We will continue to produce right backs, centre halves, centre forwards. By the age of 12 most youngsters are assigned a position and that's it. All the kids that have matured quickly and grown tall will get in the school team, the Iniesta's and Xavi's of this world will be missed.
We place Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Gareth Barry as if they are 'World Class' and they are simply not. They are decent premiership footballers and that's about it.
When John Terry came out in a press conference at the World Cup, the same man who turned the team upside down, to demand certain players should be playing, well, we reached a new low. I'd have sent him home there and then. Can you imagine Sir Alf Ramsey, Jock Stein, Brian Clough, Bill Shankly accepting a playing publicily undermining the manager? A complete joke. That camp was split down the middle with petty cliques, and over inflated ego's.
I had forgotten it was on tonight. I'll probably watch, but my heart won't be in it until the players start behaving like professionals and not spoilt teenagers!

Really? I'm surprised at that. Yes, it's not the World Cup but it's only slightly less prestigious for me.
Having said that the only two tournaments I give a toss about in world sport are the World Cup and the Euros.
