Japan are a fantastic team, hopefully they can go decently far into the World Cup. We'll be seeing them in the Confeds too, and I really hope they can progress as I'd like to see them play Spain.
thought we performed admirably when up against guys like kagawa and honda. mckay was outstanding until his blunder at the end, and the team looks better with oar in the team. i do worry when guys like schwarzer, big timmy and bresch are gone, and who will replace them.
need to beat jordan and iraq at home to get through now. and if we don't win either then quite frankly we didn't deserve to anyways.
Won't they (Ukraine) be a point behind England? Although, I'm assuming that you're tipping them to do England over in the Ukraine which would be a solid prediction.
The guy should be way more appreciated than he actually is. You see people and journalists praising the rugby players, golfers (Rory McIlroy, he's not even Irish, for fuck sake) and GAA players but Robbie is one of Ireland's greatest sportsmen and seems to be ignored for some reason. It's annoying.
David Kelly shouldn't be allowed write for the amount of shit he gives Robbie. Last thing I read from him was saying how Robbie was a shit captain because O'Driscoll was able to captain the rugby team to win the six nations and Robbie lead us to nothing...
England u21s losing to Norway. You guys really are hopeless. How Pearce still has that job is beyond me. All he does is kick and rush. When are England going to move with the times?
TBF to him there isnt much you can do in terms of developing a playing style when you have two weeks to prepare. He never gets to pick the same players game in game out he is taking players from 18 different squads so 18 different playing styles and isnt even allowed to pick the best players available for the tournament.
Hardly any of the players have played together through poor foresight from the upper reaches of english football. Hardly any have had any playing time during the season and you're expecting him to be able to play 'champagne' style football with the likes of Henri Lansbury and Jordan Henderson...
never going to work. England are underprepared the wrong squad has been given to Pearce and we are getting embarrased because of it. Remember 4 years ago when Pearce had a better crop of players and more preparation time we got to the final. We got spanked in it but same manager took the players to the final and we played some nice stuff. So the blame isnt solely down to Stuart Pearce.
To be fair the U21 squad in Israel is without 5/6 starters, but that shouldn't overshadow how poor the players that are there have performed with Redmond being the only arguable exception.
They've sort of improved in this game but a couple of errors leaves them needing a miracle to progress. Always a fun little tournament to watch at any rate.
Ozil starred in '09 and Martinez in '11. Looks like it could be Insigne this year, unless Hendo manages a couple of quickfire goals in this half. :hesk2
Great goal from Norway to make it 3-0 before Dawson (Caulker? :lol) converts a penalty to reduce the deficit.
