Pardew to be kneejerked in before the week is out, Newcastle slide uncontrollably down the table and England don't make it out of the group stage.

Heh, yeah. At least England's best RB will actually get called up now

The Mash posted:

So if they'd beaten Ghana in the first knock-out round it would've been a succesful World Cup?

Here's who else made it past the first knock-out round:
Germany, Holland, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Uruguay, Paraguay.

On that list, there's exactly one team England could beat in 2010.

I don't think anybody in this thread is a past, present or future England manager.

But you can get Greece to win a major tournament.

You don't mean this. You two are just jealous because your lovely national teams didn't qualify

Please don't troll.

Norway are better than England, we will prove that in May. Tony Pulis and Byolante will get a tear in his eye when he sees the norwegian cloggers hoof them to victory.

euroboy posted:

Yeah, Brazil was a poo poo team.

Mickolution posted:

Uruguay too. Done nothing since...

Ravel posted:

Brazil were tournament favourites at the time, and they beat Uruguay who were also a strong team.

And all the attacking stars of Spain didn't score for 120 minutes whilst Robben hosed up two one on ones in normal time.

Psybro posted:

I don't accept this, that was an excellent Brazil side who looked very much like they'd removed their attachment to egos whilst gaining real defensive steel. They were definitely favourites going in to face a Holland side who had looked nothing like as convincing as the virtually identical 2008 line up.

And there is no loving way that an Argentina side with a misfiring megastar, a coke-addled manager and ONE central midfielder was ever going to do poo poo.

More like Spain and Germany. I don't know anyone who seriously thought a Maradona-led Argentina was going to win the tournament.

Mr. Big Snacks posted:

Well considering they had won the Euros (a more difficult tournament to win) just two years before, it wasn't exactly a long shot to call them the favorites. Which they were.

Jose posted:

lol you're seriously arguing Spain weren't favourites and Argentina were

Jose posted:

The argentina who barely qualified

Jose posted:

Remember when Maradona had the team land hours before the match at a stadium 3000+ meters above sea level thinking it would stop the players tiring out from the lower oxygen.

With quality management like that everyone thought they were favourites

Rankine Over Gash posted:

I liked it on the previous page when everyone was talking about a tournament two years ago that is finished but everyone speculated who could win it.

Can England win the Euros? Yes. Will they win the Euros? Most likely no. Can any one of the fifteen other teams win the Euros? Yes. Will they? Well, one will. All the other fifteen teams will be bottlers who are poo poo with poo poo players and a poo poo manager and are loving poo poo. Such is international football, is anything else on?

Roy has appointed Gary Neville as a Coach apparently.

Oh Em Gee posted:

It's been like that for a while iirc? Like pretty much Belgium is really two countries within one state from what I hear like the dutch and french speaking halves seriously do not get along.

Mickolution posted:

Yeah, the country is supposedly very divided and I remember hearing the same about the national team I think.

DOOP posted:

Yeah. How did Belgium miss out on Euro? Boggling

nictigre03 posted:

Well no coaches have quit and Terry hasn't assaulted anyone til this weekend. When is the friendly versus Belgium anyway?

Dudes. Stop panicking. How many of you guys could take Fulham to a Europa League final?

Hart, Green, Ruddy; Baines, Cahill, Cole, Johnson, Jones, Lescott, Terry; Barry, Downing, Gerrard, Lampard......Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Parker, Walcott, Young; Carroll, Defoe, Rooney, Welbeck.

Can't believe no Richards.

Just bet a few bucks on France beating England by more than three goals

SharpyShuffle posted:

How many English midfielders are better than Henderson? It's definitely more than 20; is it as high as 30 though?

These are the kind of questions a top manager like Hodgson must be able to answer.
