Have a read of this, as I said before complacency is one of England's biggest problems.

Most of the Algerian team play in the English Premier league on a weekly basis so they know our game, but that cannot defend the lack-lustre performance from the English side.

only 2 Algerians play in the EPL, both at Portsmouth

Saw this on twitter:

The French give up,
The USA make a late appearance,
And the English are left to face the Germans!
Sound familiar?

Only this time the Germans are gonna win.

At least they were in the last 16, where was China by the way?, we had qualifiers from South Korea, North Korea, Japan

You should mind your own mess rather than take it out on some teams else. Not cool really.

Sage is right.
So many people support Brazil, but they have never spoken to a Brazilain, let alone been there.

The teams at the WC are an assortation of the XI greediest, most selfish opportunists ever!!!

Ghana has no business selecting Kevin-Prince, the man has probably never set foot in Ghana before the WC and definitely doesn't know their National Anthem.

Like wise with so many other teams, selecting Brazilian players etc etc.

NZ has no business putting Reid on the team.

Half the Poles in the German team would rather play for Poland.

If I had to watch the XI costliest and admittedly talented players, I'd simply watch club football.

Give me the passion, pride and patriotism of Craotia, Turkey, Ireland , Russia, China, Iran anyday over the present crop in the WC!!!

Tell me who did'nt feel emotional when NK striker Jong wept tears during his countries national anthem against Brazil?????

With Malaga being purchased by a Bahrani tycoon expect to see more Algerians in Seire A (or have they been relegated?)

Hey MCL, whats your problem with Ghana man, Kevin Prince Boateng has most certainly been to Ghana several times, he was born in Germany his Mother is German and his Father id Ghanaian, that entitles him to play for Ghana, or not?

Sage why so touchy eh? Me no likey the Ghana team man, I'd have preferred Cote D'Ivoire anyday.

And now we come to Kevin-Prince. All his life he's played in Germany and is now playing with Ghana primarily cos the German team dropped him owing to behavioral issues. He only just got his passport before the games, and has probably just been to Ghana a couple times. So in my books that's purely opportunistic. As I said earlier at the very least the players should know their countries national anthem.

whats the point. pride and passion don't count for much in football.
skill and fitness matter more. and of course the pay cheque.

With all sadness, sorry for Japan.

very unlucky Ghana. Uraguary could have been a bit more gracious.

But the antics of Robyn [sec] got under my skin even more. What a pussyy. Someone need to tell that guy (and some other dutch on this forum for that matter) to harden the f!@k up.
