coldel Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Mate of mine is in a predictors league at his office, not only did he get the result correct i.e. which team would win or draw for each of the first ten games, he got the score correct for 8 out of the 10. I can only imagine what odds he might have gotten... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Yeah but pens makes it seem like he was unlucky, rather than incompetent they would probably offer him another two years! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Why can't England ever play with that kind of passion when it really matters? Even if the Oirish had gone out tonight, you'd still have praised them for giving everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 There are players in the England team that are passionate, Rooney and Hart are absolute troopers, but rest of the team seems to be playing with fear of failure. On personalities, watched a match earlier in the season and Harry Redknapp made a really good point that younger players coming through just seem a bit detached from the world and lack leadership/interpersonal skills as he put it 'they sit on the team bus for 4 hours on the way to the hotel with these massive headphones on or constantly messing around with Twitter' and I think he has a point, camaraderie seems a bit lacking in the England team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hart should be captain, the way he belts out encouragement in the tunnel is brilliant to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I would agree, although in games like we have had in the tournament so far he barely gets the chance to speak with the rest of the team - I think he does the morale boosting job without that armband.

He also said years ago something like. (not a proper quote) And leave your bloody barnet alone. or Stop messing with your barnet and concentrate on your football. He's right, the ethic needs changing like Speed did to Wales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 The coach made him captian, funny how that extra "responsibilty" works so many times. And yes, it was an amazeballs goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) Anyone see the banter between Gary, Alan and Rio against Thierry when discussing the France vs Ireland result earlier? :lol: "Thierry, you've got to hand it to them..."

LRF4N Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 You heard it here first. Belgium to lift the trophy Portugal are the other good side this half of the draw but they've not been great. Easy path to the final and on their day they could do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, one of the problems with The England team is their complete lack of interest in representing their country, you feel they'd rather be on the beach.

RS8055 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 The problem is that they are severely overpaid and too pampered. There is no passion, just greed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
