EURO 2016 Final

[Scion]

I'm one of those who predicted England will do well this Euro

 

cos many young players are called up to the team

 

and younger players are hungrier for success

 

boy, I was wrong... they played like headless chicken

Without Modric, I think Spain can beat Croatia easily.

Its not the players. The players are very good especially the younger players.

 

Is the manager that does not know what he is doing.

 

Just like most companies really.

Prima donna

England’s Gary Cahill: next Euro 2016 opponents could be in for ‘a real beating’

 

 

England bigging themslves up again.

 

I will really laugh if the get Iceland or Portugal

 

and get a real beating.

Imho, so many year England didn't win or even in semi is not only manager problem. Is they sort of talented player like Zidane, Messi, Iniesta, Xavier etc to turn the game. I totally agreed what Scion said : they play like headless chicken. Second placing this mean they may face Port(16), France(8), Ger(4). Good luck to them.

[mersaylee]

I hope they face the bigger teams and get real beating...the next world cup should be their real target.

 

It's a complex time for their country...so emotions can run high for some...

Yes great players win games but great teams win tournements. 

 

Denmark and Greece has won the Euros while England has not.

 

I am not sure Denmark and Greece had better players than England,

 

I think they have better organisation and that is due to the manager.

 

If players running around like headless chickens is not due to the manager

 

then when my staff run around like headless chickens is also not due to me

 

being a lousy manager. Anyway when Roy was manager of Liverpool they

 

also played like headless chickens so I think its just his tactics or more

 

correctly his utter lack of tactics.

Man U, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs has all the stars

 

but little Leicester City won the league. Who has heard of 

 

Vardy or Mahrez or Kante before 2015? Team work, organisation

 

and tactics is what won the league for them.

 

Man U spent a lot of money on star players like Falcao and Di María

 

but they didn't win anything is because of a lousy manager LVG or now ex manager.

 

Closer to home Liverpool also had many bad managers besides Roy. The Best Man 

 

for the job was useless and the same players under The Normal one went to 2

 

finals. No way could this happen under The Best Man. So do managers make a

 

difference? Clubs wouldn't pay millions to the manager if they didn't earn it.

Yes yes yes it's the manager problem.

 

The one and only brit manager who can get a chance to won a major tournament is perhaps Alex Ferguson.

 

Get him out of retirement, and there is a chance, good golden chance, otherwise.....mission impossible (?)

[Jamesc]

Ever since Brian Clough the England FA has always refused

 

to appoint good managers who speak their mind. They prefer to give

 

the job to less talented men they can control.

There is only one country SAF will ever manage and that is the mighty Scotland.

 

And he actually did manage it. He was the Scotland manager in Mexico in the 1986

 

World Cup. Here is a pic of him in Mexico.

 

[Jamesc]

Martin Skrtel why you never play like that for Liverpool?

 

[Bismarck]

Have to wait to praise @Jamesc Liao

 

I hope England play very well and dominate the opponent in the next match, but cannot score and go into penalty shoot out. Hmmm....I would like to see si gin na miss the penalty, and cry, cry like a baby, and England lose on penalties again. So am I a sadist?

[BenTong]

Hua.. I am amazed at the kind of support for England. Must be the marketing of the Premier League to lead many of us to think that it's the best league in the world. If I were to rank based on the quality of players playing it will be as follow:

(1) Spain

(2) Germany

(3) France

(4) Italy

(5) China

(6) Argentina

(7) Brazil

(8) England

 

If based on managers

(1) Spain

(2) England (pep, Klopp, Wenger, Conte,Ranieri..

(3) Germany

 

English players are overrated la.... Good at selling t shirts and conning ppl like SingTel which in turn made us suffer..

Then I think should blame the England FA also. For more than 20 years didn't

achive anything must blame them can not find a good manager

Agreed that English players are overated. But China? May be I didn't watch China Super League.
