ps 16 £#%&!ing years

Wazza to get banned for the final but still have the courage to drag the team to lose...

2-0 italy

cassano & marchisio

15-0 italy

gazza to turn up with some kfc and special brew claiming he's mates with the suicidal roy hodgson

More interestingly, which United player will be to blame for Englands exit tonight?

Can't see past Rooney TBH. Wellbeck too young and inexperienced for all but the most rabid of ABUs to blame, unless he misses an late in the game absolute sitter when England are only trailing by 1 goal.
Young is only really slated for his diving. Sorry, when he plays for England that should read tactical awareness and playing the game the way 'them dirty cheating foreigners do'
So, the blame has to fall squarely on the shoulders of Rooney.

At this tonight, my first England game after doing 8 other games. Been in Poland the whole time, Kiev seems ok, 16 hour sleeper train from warsaw to get here though

Italy and England are equally shit, bore draw and pens.

that has to be made up.

Or Jonesy comes on for the injured lion JT and is too busy gurning at Balotelli to notice the ball coming towards him, does a comedy fall and the world's greatest keeper just fails heroically to save his bacon in the last minute. England go out, Terry gets a knighthood (or a whitehood) and Jonesy is executed by some Ingerlund supporters at the Tower dressed comedically as Crusaders.

got 6/1 roonet first goalscorer at ladbrokes, great odds.

England to win 3-1 with the 'Triangle of Terror' (Rooney, Carroll and Welbeck) all getting on the end of wonderful crosses from the Cross Boss, English Pride Out Wide, Not That Shite From The Right Stevie G.

Jake B - have fun, that sounds ace. Kiev sounds ace tbh.

close to call this one

Just hope it's a decent game and better than that pile of shite last night.

SSN following the England squad around as they go for their afternoon walk. Apparently they all look 'relaxed'. You know, as opposed to stomping around tutting and biting their nails. They also pointed out that Steven Gerrard's hairdresser was seen going in to the team hotel, so maybe we can expect to see the England captain with a new haircut tonight.

Seriously, who watches that!? Well, apart from me ofcourse.

John Terry was at the back with Neville. Or it couldve been second to the back. I'll watch it again in an hour and PM you.

Yes, Italy could well win

Can see it being a 'tactically interesting' (read: dull) game, could honestly go either way.

But yeah, as long as Germany batter whoever gets through, whatever.

Don't think Hart could've done any more there tbh...

Those of you who have been around a bit and have experience of being in other nations while they are playing in the WC or the Euro's - does any of their press really go overboard with the vomit inducing stuff like ours do??

I refer you to Terry 'the original JT' Butcher...

Each to their own and all that, but it's £#%&!ing torture being in this country at times, the nation uniting behind Sven's/Mac's/Fabio's/Roy's Boys, believe, bulldog spirit, fight to the death, end our 50 years of hurt etc.

I can't £#%&!ing stand the whole England thing, if they win then fair play - but all I've seen thus far is 3 very underwhelming performances, what is all this ridiculous hype based upon?
