VillaChris Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Deserved equaliser for Senegal. Hardly seen Cleverley all night, is he playing holding midfield or what? I think Japan are becoming a major force in football now, incredible progress in the last 15 years. Don't think it's far fetched to say they could be contenders to win the world cup in 10 years time as they nearly got to the quarters of the last one.

villa4europe Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 So Danny Rose is injured signalling to come off and stays on? If we crash out of this embarrassingly do you think Pearce will be sacked? This is basically every bit as bad as last years U21s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Awful finish from Sordell...he has no business being at this tournament. Pearce should've binned Richards and called up Stephen Fletcher as Great Britain are too light upfront with Sturridge nowhere near fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the fact that there are no Scottish or Northern Irish players in the squad is a political one. Fletcher was almost certainly unavailable.

Nope, they just weren't good enough to get into the squad. There are Scottish players in the Women's GB squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 But fletcher has "retired" from Scotland anyway and made himself available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yeah Fletcher has fallen out with Levein and dosen't want to play for Scotland under him. Silly to say there's no Scots or N.Irish good enough. Fletcher is better than Sordell and Chris Brunt is better than Jack Cork as two examples.

VillaChris Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I don't rate Bannan as highly as others but yeah I thought he would get called up as well as Jordan Rhodes who's Scottish now. But yeah Danny Rose would've still started instead because these English players rule the world innit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Bannan is the only Scottish player who is good enough imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 So when you said that there were no Scottish players good enough to get into the squad you were actually talking bollocks? And I'd like to hear your reasoning as to why Marvin Sordell or Craig Bellamy should have been selected ahead of Jordan Rhodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course Bellamy is better than Rhodes. Rhodes hasn't even proved himself in the Championship yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 So it's silly to suggest the likes of Fletcher or Brunt because they are overage players, but it's also silly to suggest that the mediocre likes of Bellamy don't really need to be an overage player? Well obviously if you're going to assume as bad a manager as Stuart Pearce can't do anything wrong then there's no real helping you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-T Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Fletcher and Brunt would be a waste as over-age players. Should have picked England players who didn't go to Euro 2012 - Bent, Lennon, Adam Johnson, Ferdinand, Lampard, Barry, Cahill etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Literally fell asleep after 30mins of last nights match. After the friendly with Brazil too I don't think I'll be wasteing any more time watching this tournament unless things pick up drastically.
