I dont know why i am shocked. They do it every time and have done since '66, i should be used to it by now, but for some reason i always think my team will grow a pair of nuts and play some proper football. The reason we always lose is because:
- The team has a habit of playing like retards as soon as they have a slight advantage instead of shutting teams out
- there is the English press, which are a lot of wankers who should all eat shit and die
- A ridiculous amount of pressure on players like Peter Crouch, who i truly think has some kind of football-related autism and doesnt even belong in the premiership
- A coach who has less passion than a German atheist eunuch and is incapable of motivating a team
- We play at pace, but we come undone when it isnt between the dates of September and April, and if the temperature goes above 28 degrees, and when we actually have to pass the bass to feet

So congratulations you fucking wankers, i look forward to your victory parade. You suck. I am emigrating to Germany and becoming a German citizen. At least they score penalties.

Nonetheless...about this time I would support the return of Vinny Jones.5 minutes of marking that little *beep* Ronaldo would have sorted it out.

Shame really,as I quite like Portugal,especially Deco.

Quite amazing really when you think about the fact that all these guys do day in day out, all they have to think about, the only reason they exist is to kick a ball into a net and yet they seem so pitiful at times. I would be majorly pissed if i was an english fan and would be out for blood. Beckham-OUT
Rooney-OUT
I wouldn't bother paying them for the meagre effort they produced, they should have to make a grovelling nationwide apology...and a crap load of other such demeaning acts.

exactly! they exist purely to play a game, and they get 50,000 a week for it! what a fucking bunch of wankers. I vote for public executions. every single member of that team should be strung up by their microscopic bollocks.
I am not even that upset about losing, its always the manner in which we always lose.

A squad full of mid fielders who hardly even seemed to know each other.

And why only 4 strikers in the squad?One untested,one there because he's tall,one coming off awful club form whose game had relied on pace which has gone and one rushed back in from injury.

Here's a new idea...how about practicing penalties...lots and lots of them???

Got the result they deserved.

Penalties are pretty much all psychological. You can practice all you want but it wont help if deep down inside you dont believe you can score on the big stage.

RACEHORSE owner Gary Martin had a colt gelded in revenge over the Portuguese winker � because its name is Ronaldo.

Gary, 55, of Windmill Hill, East Sussex, said: �It would have given me much more satisfaction if I could have had the real Ronaldo�s nuts cut off. But this is the best I could do.�


I love cutting off a horse's nuts that has the same name as my super duper arch enemy. Sounds reasonable to me.

Would it be wrong to ask that horse, "Hey, why the long face ?"

Well,yes,they did rather choke....

Conditioning ought to overcome that though.You take a 1000 penalties,1000st ought not to matter quite that much.They just blasted it at the keeper.

Theres no pressure when you practice. Compare that to the pressure at a World Cup Quarter/Semi/Final. Its a whole different thing. There is nothing to actually doing the penalty kick. Its point blank range, you should easily score 90% of the time. Unless you choke MENTALLY. And football IS a mental game. Some teams have a collective mentality like Germany which thrives on pressure and the big time. I dont see the Germans missing many penalties when the pressure is on. Generation after generation, the germans THRIVE on the big stage. So does Brazil. Then you have the opposite of that, and unfortunately for the English, thats whats happening with your team. And each set back, each big choke makes it that much worse. Losing becomes INGRAINED into the psyche of the team. Thats why they could practice penalties till the damn cows came home, and still choke when the pressure was on to do it at the World Cup.

Someone should cut that guy's nuts off. Insane cruelty is a disease.

Agreed, that man is an idiot.
A better idea would be to castrate all English football hooligans, and leave the animals in peace.

When you choke you effectively unlearn a skill.

By conditioning I meant more than just kicking a ball.Blocking everything else out in the world is just as important.

When Lampard walked up for his penalty I knew that he wouldn't be able to do that.Be disinterested and slot it home,that is.Went pear-shaped from there.
