england will never win while rooney is on the pitch he­ is a one hit wonder get rid

@ # 11 Stalins Ghost "Beckham for England­ manager!!" ???????? ha ha ha ha...... England­ will definitely improve their penalty taking skills­ now.

@ eduardo it's not only you, Yahoo deleted­ comments I made about the Spaniards too, LOL ­ That's why I now call the Spanish 'lovely­ people', LOL They are lovely, honest. ---- They­ just don't know it yet. he he he he

TAKE HEART, FRIENDS ------- The world cup 2014 is just­ around the corner and the qualification matches will­ start soon ------- No younger well motivated players­ NOW and England will do just as 'well' for 2014

@ Caledonian Cueless, huh. I'll give yoiu ­ 'clueless'. For your info, with Rooney on the­ pitch the goal keeper will have to be part of that­ 4-3-4-3 thing, LOL 1-2-3, my friend. That's­ where we're still at. We've got THE manager­ (he's proved it) and we've got a good­ proportion of the squad as good YOUNG and MOTIVATED­ players (eg Carroll). All we now is to get rid of­ 'pedestrians' like Rooney. Exception = John­ Terry who has saved England from defeat several times

Who the manager is, is totally irrelevant as the­ national side simply doesn't have what it takes to­ overcome the real opposition. This shows repeatedly as­ the last 8 is always the best they can achieve in­ recent times.

Why did the yahoo sports u.k. Erase my comments??????? ­ eduardo villarreal monterrey mexico.

it doesnt matter who the england manager is.....england­ are just not good enough at the moment to bring home­ any silverware.......the fa coul sack 6­ managers......that wont bring a trophy to­ england......they need new players in the­ team.....beckham lampard ferdinand these players are­ history...........train some new players for the 2018­ world cup. england are just not good enough to beat the­ italys and spains of this world

#9 Winifred, Wot Beckham for England manager!!

Winifred calling for Beckham, can she tell me how many­ world cups has he brought back. Get real

David Beckham is the obvious choice. A man who knows­ the game from every possible angle. Talk about been­ there, done that. David has done it all and with­ dignity, professionalism and so much experience. The­ players would respect him for his achievments and­ experience and he would also bring in some young­ players who are full of enthusiasm and know that they­ have to fight to play and play to win. He's the­ obvious man for the task.

Wrong tactics and players who generally are not up to­ international standards.Only getting into the last­ eight in Europe what does that say for our for our­ chances in the next world cup O.K.France and Holland­ went out before us but they will rebuild and reorganise­ their teams.Does the FA have anyone who has the ability­ and guts to go back to square one and sort out some­ tactics other than all out defence and coach the­ selected players accordingly. Hodgson has not had­ enough time yet to sort out the poor team he inherited­ so lets see what he can produce over the next couple of­ years.One final thought,why bring on Carrol and have­ him making tackles on the edge of his own penalty area.

Steve W got it almost right for me,except i think he­ was too harsh on Rooney.But that's the point about­ football fans-we all have our own ideas and we all see­ games differently.We have to leave the big decisions to­ the managers who after all know everything there is to­ know about their players,team­ sprit,attitudes,fitness-the whole nine yards. ­ Suffice it for me to say that i had no great­ expectations of England success and willingly admit I­ believe the last 4 are the best last 4. It will be a­ treat for me to watch matches objectively rather than­ emotionally and I'm akready looking forward to next­ season and the sort of competitive football our league­ offers up.Technically good though it be,I do not want­ to watch the pretty pictures painted by Spain or the­ defensive knots tied by the Italians. I want to see­ exciting football played at speed and to be­ entertained. That's why-unashamedly-i've been a­ United fan since 1938.Fast exciting football played by­ intelligent committed players which has brought United­ at least as much success as any club in history.Long­ may it continue-can't wait to see who Fergie buys­ in the next few weeks-I'll settle for a Van Nist or­ Tommy Taylor-type no 9 and a Bryan Robson/Roy Keane­ -type skipper and midfielder.

woodat / your as clueless as the england team , a 4-4-3­ formation . take that would mean no goal keeper then .

We need the players before we consider 4-4-3's ­ Lampard and Ferdinand are gone. That was only half the­ job done. Keep Gerrard and get rid of Rooney. ---- ­ Offer Rooney for sale to Barnet FC. That's the only­ thing Rooney is good for, LOL

For God's sake let's forget about 4-4-2 and­ 3-4-3...... We need 1-2-3 and go back to basics.... ­ Get rid of OLD past it unmotivated players like Rooney.­ I wish Rooney had been banned for 20 matches and not­ just 2 and some other younger and motivated player took­ his place.

GET RID OF ROONEY or pay Mario Balotelli to floor him­ next time they meet, LOL

No matter who pulls on the three lions unless we win a­ trophy they will all be slated as failures. No one gave­ us a chance of qualyfing from the group let alone the­ knockout stages. It may not have been pretty, and some­ of the players taken did not deserve to be there.­ However, with the time he had to prepare I think­ Hodgson and the team did us proud. My only concern was­ the desparation shown giving rooney his opportunity.­ Carroll and Wellbeck proved a potent strike force­ against Sweden. Rooney looked lost and failed to make­ an impact. Lets hopr Roy keeps up with the promise of­ "bleeding in the youngsters" and forgets the­ 4-4-2. Its old and predictable and we got smashed in­ the midfield.I for one am excited about our future lets­ hope its not misguided.
