It IS the same 'race' or where do you think the Saxons (as in Anglo-Saxons) came from?Yeah I am, I think we're actually very similar as a "race", I just wish we had some footballers like them
It only seems the football playing Saxons stayed at home
Is this possible...?

If only King Cantona had been an Englishman, but then he wouldn't have been Cantona, he would've been the postman.

The real King... one of my favorites ever. Style, heart, charisma, just plain F'n cool. Perhaps some day I will catch him in NY and have him sign my #7 Umbro United shirt.

Did you English fellas really expect them to advance? Pretty clear that the English and the Italians this go around are subpar squads. Whomever made it through had no chance anyway against the likes of Germany, Spain, or Portugal for that matter. Man of the match for England for me was Glenn Johnson... everyone else was poor. Wellbeck is not good enough and although it pains me to say it, Carroll is better and should have started. Wellbeck scored a classy goal in the Euros, but he is not up to snuff - the Rooney/Wellbeck combo for club and country has to be a concoction of the English FA because otherwise I would have to admit that Sir Alex Ferguson has gotten it wrong (it is possible).
The English have some very talented direct players, but the premier league is full of link up players from other countries, the glue in the best EPL squads is not English (Silva e.g.). There is hope, I actually think Cleverly if he can stay healthy for any stretch of time will develop into a terrific player for United and for England.
Who wins a World Cup first us Yanks or Wayne Rooney's England? Is it too late for England to bring old man Scholes back into the fold?

This just cracks me up.

Actually, while I love Italians as people I hate their soccer. It is often an antithesis of joyful fair sport.
They did deserve to win over Germans yesterday without doubt and it was one of very few matches with the Italian team that I enjoyed.

The sport, soccer/ football is absolutely glorious until dude takes a flop, rolls around in dramatic fashion, goes off on a stretcher then miraculously is healed by a mysterious aerosol spray.
My God, the Barbarians really are at the gates....

Now that brings back memories of playing golf with F. Ross Johnson back in the early nineties. Good guy.
Now, who's this fellow? A barbarian...or a gate?

You know it's embarrassing for all of us when our players from whatever club take one of those hideous flops. It's not sporting at all and does the "worlds game" a disservice.
They're called 'dives,' not 'flops'.' Calling them flops makes it sound like the players are a bunch of overpaid, juvenile nitwits with the moral and ethical backbone of assorted pondlife.................................OK, they're flops!
