The England thread


Recommended Posts

The whole "justice done!" followed by repeatedly insisting it was never a penalty. Yes it was offside and giving pen would've been incredibly harsh but all it was short was Andy Townsend screaming "RULE BRITANNIA!" down his mic.

It's annoying when sometimes but watching English coverage of England games is hilarious when things don't go their way. The 2006 World Cup on BBC is still the funniest bit of football television I've ever seen. They were all like big babies crying about Ronaldo's wink and Portugal's protesting while ignroing Rooney's nut-stamp and praising his "tenacity"! :lol:

Only six defenders seems a little thin on the ground if we get an knock or two. :-/

What do we think the starting line-up will be?
