England is now sitting 3rd in the stage table with only 7 points. England has an easy group but they blow it away. They won 5-0 hosting Andorra and 1-0 against Macedonia. But, they draw 0-0 with Macedonia at home ground and then followed by losing 2-0 to Croatia. Is McClaren the right manager for England? or Just the England players have been occupied by the club matches that make them less time to train under national duty.

do you think they have any chances of qualifying forget winning the euro.

Forgot to add, England gets fuelled with a victory in friendlies every once in a while. Just as a reminder, didn't they all say that England was gonna win the World Cup because they beat Argentina in the friendly match ( which they deserved to lose )??

Balbhadra! U seems to have a lot of info regarding English premier and Rooney and I am not saying that whatever u posted was wrong I am simply not agreeing to whatever u have to say abt Rooney. "Form" is not only associated with cricket it is with all the sports. but may be u have just heard it while watching cricket. You said u r the # 1 fan of "Man U" so lem me ask who you gonna start beside Rooney ? Rooney's form in International game is below par not at Club level. I didn't level Rooney as BEST but he is not pathetic as u think either..... He has scored 12 goals so far and I bet he will be close to 20 this season. When u say abt the media Hyped its every where. Currently England is #6 (Fifa Ranking) is it just because of Media?. I am not here to argue abt who is # 1 team or #10 but to support England and English player for whatever u were saying. By the way my feet is on the ground and u never answer who is your fav team? Argentina? -Peace

Rooney is a type of a player that can destroy any teams any day but the thing is, he hardly displays his skills. He's skilful, he's got speed, he's got aggression and he plays with passion, that's why he starts every game. His career stats at National Level and Club level are both needed so much to be done. He hasn't scored in a Champions League game since November of 2005 when he scored that Hat trick against Fenerbrache! I'm a huge fan of Indian Cricket team and only now have I realized that only having a potentiality doesn't count. If Indian team would've clicked all the time then they'd be invincibles, but the truth to the whole matter is, Indian team clicks once in a while. While they click together, nobody stops them, not even aussies, but most of the time, they play well below part. That's the same with English team!!!
Born in Nepal, Educated in Army School, Living in the US, Argentina remains in my heartbeat!!! I can see that this thread will appear like a tennis match, with words being shared back and forthm ,you know what I mean? So I'd rather stop it here.
PS. Never refer to Manchester United as Man U. It will serve you big time and MAN U is considered to be offensive my the Red Devilds!!!! Peace O.

One English player who is genuinely magnificant is Owen Hargreaves. Unfotunately he doesnot play for English club that's why de doesnot get much credit. I was surprised some people dont even know him. These people are fanatic about their clubs and doesnot know the less popular player from the team.

hey thank you all for such passionate comments ........hahahhaha....didnt expect this topic to boil over........... Wayne is not a striker he is a link up player more like Eric cantona who plays further up. His determination and hunger is what drives the midfield and the actual striker to link up. Now when I say about eric cantona many people may not know him but he was a legend.
England failing to produce in international matches is all down to the tactics that sven deployed and what Mclaren is deploying. The FA made a big decision in appointing Who but Mclaren for the job vacated by Sven. Mclaren has voiced his concern about the lack of goals but having the best midfielders and defenders in the world isnt enough to produce goals. What did I just say " best defenders and midfielders"- yes

three out of the remaining 8 teams in the Champions league is English and the core players of all of these three teams are english not imported. Therefore there is no reason to say that english players are overhyped. They have the ability to perform, but someway or the other the tactics and team effort on the pitch tells a whole different story. They should definately get through to the tournaments but they are not the favourites.

My personal view about england players is that they have that extra motivation when they play for the club because it is their bread and butter.....and the same goes for me ......I dont care if england loses but if we ( man utd) even draw a game in the league, chelsea are going to knack us by the throat.............therefore HAIL ZE MAN UTD..............

"New to watching premier league tatunman?"

Balbhadra, if you live in the US, I bet you on any amount I watch more premiership matches than you. I have been a Chelsea fan for 18 years, and my work place is Chelsea, So you must be kiddin me boy.

Balbhadra, I totally agree with you, there is no point here arguing abt it. I am a huge fan of Indian Cricket team too. So we both have same fav team for soccer and cricket. When u say Man U its not offensive coz u r a man utd fan. If its somebody else thats a different story. I used to be a fan of Argentina but once Marodona is gone I started losing interest in the team.
Ghundruk ko jhol u need to chill out, he was not arguing with you. I am not mad at him coz we were just expressing our opinion and you SHOULD NEVER PERSONALLY ATTACK SOMEONE LIKE THAT. It shows how cheap you are, I am Nepali and I know what Ghundruk and Dhindo. Even here in US I have eaten Dhindo and Ghundruk ko Jhol have you? If u pretend to be a Nepali then why u r not respecting another Nepali just because he is expressing His opinion that do not even concern you. Let there be Peace!! u all have a good day!!!!!!

Cheers Gazza. Gundruk ko jhol got my response via Email already! Tatunkaman, I'm not arguing with you but OK YOU"VE BEEN A CHELSEA FAN FOR 18 years, so what then?!?! You're not a hardcore fan, guess how I came to know?!?!?! I can see Fc Barcelona's logo on your left side!! and if you were a hardcore fan then you'd never do that coz Chelski hate Barca. One more thing, do some research sir before EVEN thinking that I don't get to watch as many PL matches as you do even though I live in the US. Setanta sports and Fox Soccer broadcast almost all the MATCHES and I already know that a resident doesn't game the same priviledges in the UK as they aren't aired live in most of the occasions. Besides you said that you work in Chelsea so I don't think that you have enough free time to watch Football as much as I do here. Been a genuine United fan since '97-98 right after Cable TV world started dominating Kathmandu!! Just because you're a fan doesn't mean that you cannot ignore the facts that someone has pointed out. I just learnt the lesson via India's exit this early in the World Cup. Hope you're gonna have quite some fun at Stamford Bridge. Cheers.
PS Gazza if you're in facebook then you might wanna join "Manchester United".

Gundruke! Don't give me a bullshit about not having checked your mail box yaar. What bollocks are we talking abt?! I need not bother to answer your naiveness abt me stating that I live in the US. 7 Barsa army school ma padhera malai yo deshbhakti ko path padhai rahanu pardaina. US ma aye pani maile football herna patakkai chodeko chaina bhaneko bujhinna?! I love Rooney in United's colors just can't tolerate him in English shirts. Ever thought what big of a difference would it make if we were to see Heinze on an English national shirts instead of United's reds jersey?! Know what I mean? BTW, yo Iraq ma chu ra chaina bhanera sunai rahanu pardaina because if you truly are serving in Iraq then it is due to the mighty Bush that you're being forced to serve out there. Peace.

Bal bro, it was no intention to argue with you at all, its just some of the things you said, I cannot tolerate, like new to PL. About the scarf on the picture, that was a Champions League game between Chelsea and Barcelona, (Hope you have seen the game).Ticket were like a gold dust and sold out in one hour. The reason I bought that scarf on the day is for my Souvenir to remember the great match. So theres nothing wrong me having the scarf with the detail of the match. And if you watch so much of PL, you must know that match always takes place either on the weekends or mid-week in the evenings (19:45), so there is no way I can miss any of the aired game. Saturday 1 pm kick off is like mid-night in the US probably, and if you are telling me you watches those game as well then you are a Genuine Football Fan. Hey if you are telling me that you started watching PL since ’97, 98 then you are far way back then me boy.

PS: If I need to prove you that I am a hardcore fan of the blues, then I will email you all my season Tickets and membership card that I hold Until today.

Cheers.

Ghundrok ko Jhol u r in Iraq, God bless you! As far as the name Gazza is concerned yes he is my all time Fav soccer player. Who told you that you can't bring gundruk in US. I am not sure about other ppl but I get it all the time, if u want some I can still send u some just give me ur address. Plus you can still have MULA ko Bari here its not a big deal. You also mention that in Iraq work means work not like USA. I am LOL, did u hear that too? so before writing something just have some research or ask your friends how life here in US. You have a good day and be safe! watch out for road side bombs!!!
TUTUN, when its a 1 pm kick off its not midnight here its gonna be early morning.U all have a GOOD DAY!!!!

Sorry about the mixed-up on time difference thats why I said probably on the post as I wasn't sure.

woah!! Tatunkamun, not sure what your nick stands for but!!!! I'd really love to watch a PL match so I'm sure that if you work there, you could give me instructions or do something to ensure that I got inside Stamford Bridge to watch Chelsea play (no matter how much i hate them ) this thanksgiving break hopefully ( if i made it to london as planned ). No arguments or hard feelings...lets all enjoy the beautiful game.

How about May the 9th, You know why the 9th?????? If you really want go, let me know.

The season is over for chelsea as far as the PL is concerned Tutunkamum. We're gonna beat Chelski at stamford bridge on 9th. My semester ends on 10th btw. So I cant really come there on 9th. Besides, dhewa maru, damaru damaru bhanera bhayena ni. Private college, tuition manango cha ke garnu. I shall try to be there during my thanksgiving break.

After seeing the match against Andorra where 3-4 players are amatures plumbers and the team themselves ranks below 160 almost equal as Nepal , I honestly believe this English team is over rated.
These English team are grossly overpiad compared to other sports.
