As my manager an Die hard spurs supporter said to me­ this morning, "Where would ENGLAND be without­ Spurs players". The tone of the game totally­ changed when the subs came on, they should have been on­ from the start then maybe, just maybe we could have won­ that game.

same old england defence, total rubbish. It would have­ been better to see younger players in these so called­ friendlies. These games would have been the best time­ to give the new breed of so called internationals a­ taste of international football. The F A, are a total­ joke.

all those crying for gerrard here....... remember this­ lad always injured when called to play for England­ friendly... Think of it well. He is not devoted to his­ country, so he better be out ot that team if England­ need to progress more. Boxing is his best place now.

England where lucky last night again Rooney next to­ useless a few flashes of play but nothing at all from­ him worthy of note ,why he is in the squad at all is a­ mystery anyone who cant be bothered to sing their­ countries national anthem does not deserve to wear the­ shirt let alone play,Beckham­ outstanding,Milner,Cole,Defoe,played liked they­ beleived a but in general lack lustre .

KEEP PLAYING LIKE THAT FERDINAND. AND MAN UNTIED? WILL­ REALY COME UNSTUCK. NO TROPHYS
FOR YOU LOT THIS YEAR,­ RODNEY CAN'T DO IT ALL ON HIS OWN. SHAME ON YOU!­ YOUR NOT FOR OUR
NATIONAL SIDE. SIR DAVID BECKHAM­ SHOWED MORE RESPECT FOR HIS COUNTRY THAN YOU DID,­ GO
HOME AND RETIRE YOU SAD PIECE OF CRUD!!!!!

england were lucky

England are just buggers....they never win and when­ htey are close to they boooooooooooo..

Capello should be bold enough to let able young­ talented players come on for match winnig games old­ modeling image footballers in the squad shoud be the­ ones sitting it out on the reserve bench, because he­ should not forget the old english tradition that he­ would be the only fall guy when things go wrong so he­ should not allow ant sentiment to spoil the good work­ he is doing here, nobody can ever be bigger than the­ team , forget players names and take them from their­ input of ability and constitency and he will never go­ wrong . Kudos to the team for their fighting spirit Big­ Up.

It was a good game though but England's problem is­ back pass.Most of England defenders and defencive­ midfielders don;t hold well on the ball when under­ pressure and that makes them to make faulty back pass.I­ believe that Carpello will improve on that.The­ defenders must put the ball for a throw-in rather than­ make blind pass at their 20yard box.Secondly,England­ players must start learning how to dribble and take on­ players,its the modern day football and if you lack­ such,it will be difficult to win games against teams­ that hold on balls and dribble a lot when going­ forward.

England drew against the team ranked third in the world­ and currently the only european teanm who have­ qualified for next years world cup,and this took place­ in Amsterdam with a number of players still not firing­ on all cylinders,i think we are heading in the right­ direction and Capello is 80% of the way to having a­ team capable of winning next year,don't spend time­ being armchair manangers,look at whats happened and be­ objective,and anyone still kicking Becks after last­ night clearly knows very little about the game or has­ ever played it at a good competetive level,their is­ nothing major wrong with how the team is­ progressing,think back to Mclaren and the back end of­ Svens reign,we seem to have very short memories,Capello­ is exceeding the average massivley for games won by­ England,and remember its only the competition games­ that really count and we have won 7 out of 7!!

Did You know that Badger of the Republic of Mancunia­ is living in spain? and never goes to watch the vermin­ anyway.I thought cockerney reds were bad enough but­ Spanish reds lol lol lol

Milner had a great debut. Yeah well do you remember­ Mica Richard's debut, even better but what happened­ to him. Remember Aaron Lennon's debut, better still­ and what's happened to him. I can keep going with­ lots of great first games from young players. Then the­ England coaches get hold of them, tell them to kick the­ ball differently to how their club coaches teach them,­ and they are stu.ffed

167, you would say that being a man u fan, is this part­ of your personal hate campaign against Gerrard, like­ him or loath him he is a major major player for England­ so don`t let your personal feelings cloud your­ judgement.
I hate man ure with a passion but at least­ i`ve got the balls to recognise that rooney, ferdinand,­ and carrick are vital to an England team under Capello­ that could potentially win this world cup !

knott200 - what colour is the sky on your planet? And­ if you scored for England would you not celebrate?

Ferdinand!! USELESS!! NO pride wearing the 3 lions!!!­ only interested when playing 4 man ure and his snout in­ the cash trouth!! not his country!! STICK 2 YOUR DRUGS­ RIO!!!!!

Very good performance from Milner, defoe and cole, but­ seriously, ferdinand needs to sort out his play. He­ continuously passed back to either the keeper or to­ terry, and when he made the mistake leading to the­ first goal, he just stood still, waiting for another­ defender to do all the work. Still an amazing game­ though.

How on earth you can make mistakes like Ferdinand and­ Barry made last night at this level? Okay I understand­ it was a friendly and may be they didn't care much­ but still our national pride was on the line and a loss­ would mean a big dent in our confidence. So how can you­ take it that easy? Appalling. I have lads down the road­ playing better than them. We couldn't pass the­ ball, couldn't keep the ball and couldn't take­ the ball off dutch. Cole and Defoe were impressive and­ should play with Rooney. Heskey is good in the air and­ lacks speed. If we want to have any chance of winning­ the world cup we need to improve massively. We have got­ the squad, the skills and the ability now all we need­ is concentration and focus coupled with 110%­ committment from the players. England can win the world­ cup.
