My prediction is that the manager has no plan b....in fact his plan a is rubbish as well.
On the two performances so far we deserve to go home, and boy will they get slagged off in the papers tomorrow.
Total and utter rubbish.
Overpaid Prima Donnas, looked like any average Sunday morning Pub team to me :sad:
simply dreadfull they should hang there well overpaid heads in shame for that shocking as well get the plane home now i think new zealend have a better team than us
woeful, inept, ridiculous and amateur and that was just my prediction, god we have got to play better, hoping, going for a 2-0 win wed.
Well yet again another let-down (although not unexpected!).
No doubt the FA inqust will blame the ball, the grass, the sun, the ref, FIFA, the bus driver to the stadium, the fans and anyone else they can think of.
Having just watched a number of the 'players' saying we 'played well', 'were in control of the game' etc., one wonders where they were playing, obviously not Bloemfontain...
Against the USA, we were 'nervous' (understandable nobody wants to loose the 1st match), nearly everyone but the Germans / Argentinians and Brazilians looked 'jittery' in the 1st round. The second round - WE WERE APPALING - no excuses can / will / were / are acceptable for that performance against the Algerians. 3rd Round and a 1-0 win againsts another 'weaker' team and one does really have to call into question the Manager's tactics and the single dimension on a 4-4-2. Tactically 'inept' at this level of the game?
One thing I have noticed though, is the total lack of any FA 'big wigs' facing the media - usually you can't get rid of them appearing on-screen when we're doing 'well'. so they'll come back, sack the manager, blame the ref's decision on Lamp's goal being a 'turning-point', retire a few players from 'internationals' appoint another 'wally' to take the heat and retire to the inner sanctum of the FA for a stiff Brandy and a Cigar and congratulate themselves on yet another job 'well-done'.
