It isn't the best bit because it doesn't provide insight to why England, the nation that supposedly has the best league in the world, is not playing in the European Championships. People such as myself can tell these English marketers shut the fuck up all I want, but what is the point of that? I'd rather have the people who continue stating English football is the best football to change their ways and actually, indeed, shut the fuck up.
Sven was a very good manager,but the English media ripped him apart needlesley.Mclaren on the other hand is an incompetent twat.The only reason he got the job was because he had been groomed as the next NT manager,and the English FA would have looked like fools had the not appointed him after Sven left.Now the FA's looking like bigger fools.
Vlatko, what do you wear, L or XL???
Modric was fantastic. What heart, what work rate, vision, the boy is simply everywhere on the pitch. If you snatch him as well, he's gonna make a terrific partnership with Fabregas. He's gold, he's not afraid of anything, he'd play the WC final as if it were a friendly match.
But the whole team was simply FANTASTIC! Even Ivica Olic, whom I rate as low as Turk rates an Inter fan, played the match of his life. It was a great finish, very Suker-like, and Eduardo's assist was brilliant. He held the ball just enough and made a killer pass through the swiss-cheese English defense.
But we played brilliantly in defense, nothing went through, and we were excellent in taking the ball out in counter attacks. I'm simply thrilled with this result, this performance and I have every right to be. We could have and should have IMO won by an even bigger margin, but this was all the much sweeter. That penalty was lenient as hell, the Russians offered us incentives but fook me if England hasn't bought that ref. The whole match he giving them the upper hand, I was really frustrated by some decisions. But all's well that ends well, we deserved this.
Bilic, Bilic, what is there left to say about him? I was thrilled when he was appointed coach as I knew he was good and we needed someone young to replace all the fossils that we had before. Bilic took a few players from the U21's and made them the backbone of the team, he did what everyone before him was afraid to do. He hit a jack-pot and this NT is looking really formidable, a mixture of young, energetic players with a few seasoned veterans, the perfect combination. Corluka, Modric, Kranjcar, Eduardo, Petric, Rakitic, these boys are already huge and they're gonna get better. Thank you Slaven Bilic! This is all because of him.
England was stupid, they didn't deserve the two goals, if the ref didn't appoint that non-existant penalty, they wouldn't have scored the second goal as well. The pitch was wet and they hardly shot outside the box. For crying out loud you have Lamps and Gerrard playing behind the striker and they don't shoot on such a pitch? Kranjcar took a good shot and scored a fluke, that's what you do in such condition. McLaren is an idiot, there are no words to describe him.
Thanks for the nice wishes everyone, this was really a great day for us and everyone is so freaking proud. It was like winning the EURO itself, I lost my voice, I broke my fist banging on the chair after the equaliser, but it was all worth it. I'd love to be in England right now, reading the headlines, listening to all the whining. Ah, priceless.
Who really gives a care? I'd rather see a better team in the finals, and that is Croatia.
I'm tired of people saying boo-hoo, England is out and now the tournament doesn't have as much prestige. Fuck that crap. The European Championships will be as good as they always have been. The English side aren't the be all and end all of football teams.

I heard all of it from my computer speakers, and I was off the wall. It was a pleasure just listening to the unity I witnessed last night, especially since the match was at Wembley. I don't know a word of the Croatian Language, but it surely sounded damn good to me. int:

BTW, I forgot to mention, what did you all think about those beautiful long balls the English were trying out in the last 10 minutes? I never saw such desperation and pointless passing in my life.
It was really something, we have really terrific supporters, 5,6K of us out-voiced 55K of "frantic" England supporters. They don't deserve such a stadium as Wembley.

God dammnit, what a fucking retard. I can only imagine.
Croatian supporters will always be considered more hardcore than the English, that's for sure.
They were launching up those long balls far before the 80th minute. In my opinion, and this is just my opinion, the English style of play is absolutely ugly. The desperation we witnessed is what we always see from this sort of football.
