Peter CrouchI'm having this horrific vision of him starting for England in the summer now that Rooney is injured. Christ lets just hope Rooney gets better. Can you imagine having Crouch upfront?!

Why?
|
DTL

Because when we get beat by far better teams they start slagging off the team...
Come to terms with the fact that we're shitter then Brazil and Argentina and be happy if we reach the quarters and be ecstatic if we reach the semis...

I don't think you're "shitter" as you put it than Brazil or Argentina if you're not up to their standard, they're both great sides as you'll know, Dan. But at least we're better than Spain - that lot always underachieve. Expect more of the same from them this time around. Also we should make a note of when Mark Lawrenson or someone like that says "Could be Spain's year" and then post a thread immediately after Spain's exit mocking that unlucky "expert" of the sport.
|
DTL
|
By definition, not being up to their standard makes us shitter than them...
Good call on "Lawro" though...

Here we have a couple of experts slagging them off before a game has been played!
Jocky & Lawro must be shitting themselves!

England are NOT better than Spain.
We are also not better than Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Germany, Portugal, France......
We might just be better than Sweden, but I'm not sure it's a close call...
We have a great defence and midfield, but our strike force (without Rooney) is unbelievably shite.
Crouch and Owen??????????SHITE!!!!!!!!!

Me and Danny think you know fuck all about football, Chub.
If you'd bothered to do a wikipedia search for the Spanish national team you would have found this:
World Cup record:
1930 - Did not enter
1934 - Quarterfinals
1938 - Withdrew due to civil war
1950 - Fourth place
1954 - Did not qualify
1958 - Did not qualify
1962 - Round 1
1966 - Round 1
1970 - Did not qualify
1974 - Did not qualify
1978 - Round 1
1982 - Round 2
1986 - Quarterfinals
1990 - Round 2
1994 - Quarterfinals
1998 - Round 1
2002 - Quarterfinals
2006 - Qualified
And this:
Euro Championship record:
1960 - Withdrew during qualifying
1964 - Champions
1968 to 1976 - Did not qualify
1980 - Round 1
1984 - Runners-up
1988 - Round 1
1992 - Did not qualify
1996 - Quarterfinals
2000 - Quarterfinals
2004 - Round 1
Conclusion: Good team with several great players but clearly not cut out to win the big one.

..and infortunately neither are we, so get used to it.
and i've not got time to be searching wikipedia for Spain's history....

But you've got time to come on here and make daft posts like that. Dude it would have only taken a minute to have typed "Spanish national team" and "wikipedia" to find out their history.
I believe we've got a strong team now, stronger than four years ago with players who have had experience in the big tournaments. Looking at the season Lampard, Gerrard, Terry and a few others have had I'm confident we can go really far. But having James, Crouch and Walcott in the squad is a concern for me and they're going to have to play well.

Peter Crouch did quite well against Hungary.
As I've said before Owen is shite. Not fit my arse.
|
tony_p
|
Yeah Owen is shite isn't he, Chub.
He scored the winner in the FA Cup final of 2001, against Brazil in the World Cup, arguably the best goal ever in France 98 and consistently gets twenty-five + goals a season.
Yeah he's a really shit player, players who do that kind of thing in big games are really bad. I'd much rather have a six foot seven inch donkey who can't control, head or pass a ball who is in the England squad because of football politics.
Note to Chub: The above is all sarcasm at its finest. I think I needed to point that out seeing as you still just don't get it.
|
DTL

Politics?
He scored a cracker against that team we beat the other night in a shamefully weak display of blandness.

It was a good goal I agree, but Sven is crazy.
Why isn't Darren Bent in the England squad after such a good season and Andy Johnson and Jermaine Defoe? Instead we've got an underachiever with no real ability who is in the squad simply because he plays for Liverpool and not less fashionable clubs.
|
DTL
|
A good display again from Gangly Pete but what a fucking shite penalty...
Joe Cole is a fucking 'tard.
Sol Campbell can't run.
|
tony_p

Crouch's penalty was terrible and just shows how bad he is. Good goal that last one but he can't be allowed to claim that own goal. The same applies to Terry.
People should restrain themselves from going OTT in their praise of Crouch, scoring two goals against a mediocre side like Jamaica isn't much.
Darren Bent, Defoe and Kevin Nolan could do the same but their clubs aren't as big as Crouch's club so pompous Eriksson doesn't care. Sorry if I sound so angry today, I just think it's a disgrace that people like him and Walcott will be going to the World Cup and so many good players have missed out.

Crouch's height on the end of Beckham's passes are the only way we'll beat proper teams. We can't play proper footy...
Fucking HOOF it!
|
tony_p

Yeah I know what you mean. It worked yesterday so well because Jamaica were so bad in defence. I'd have taken Shaun Wright Phillips to mix it up a little, he reminds me of the old fashioned wingers who could take on a defender. We seem to be lacking that nowadays just like a lot of other countries too.
|

Aye, Owen scored a good goal in 2001...
Did you know it's now 2006?
In 2001 Owen was half decent, now he's shite. This world cup will uncover how good Owen really is nowadays. You just watch him fail.
|
DTL
|
Michael Owen has only ever scored more than 25 goals in a single campaign twice...
|
tony_p
|
And in two other seasons he scored 23 times and on one other occasion he got 24. You've got to love Wikipedia.
Chub, Peter Crouch hasn't proven anything yet. He had a very good half season in 04-05 at Southampton and scored a few goals for England against the abysmal Jamaica.
When he's scored the amount of goals Owen has I might take talk of him being a good player seriously.
|
DTL
|
Chub doesn't much rate Crouchy either.
He's a tall streak o' piss. He'll do for me.
|
Chubby Checker
|
Aye, DTL is right. I don't like Crouch either...
I would pick Defoe and Johnson before Crouch and Owen..

If I had to take five strikers, Chub, I'd take:
Owen,
Rooney,
Defoe,
Bent,
Johnson or Fowler.
And Crouch to be the water boy.
