AmericanScott Posted 18 May 2008 Posted 18 May 2008 This is a tricky match for me. I was born into an English family, lived the first 15 years of my life in New York, and now live in Leicester. American heart, English blood. I can cheer on both of the teams i suppose. Hopefully it'll be a fun match to watch.

Uncle Albert Posted 19 May 2008 Posted 19 May 2008 Going to be a right boring game. Especially if Capello plays 4-5-1.
Tommy G Posted 19 May 2008 Posted 19 May 2008 I'm going to this. Cost me £45 so it best be an exciting game. It will be refreshing to see some players than can actually play decent football instead of watching LCFC who can barely pass to each other properly!

Maybes Posted 20 May 2008 Posted 20 May 2008 England now bore me to death. It is like watching paint dry.
Jay Posted 20 May 2008 Posted 20 May 2008 England now bore me to death. It is like watching paint dry. it just doesn't mean anything to the players no matter what they say they are just not as proud to pull on the shirt as they were even 10 years ago let alone 20-30-40 years ago. it seems like they expect England to appreciate the fact that they have taken time out to turn up as it obviously doesn't pay them enough I used to go to loads of matches but couldn't care less now

It will be refreshing to see some players than can actually play decent football instead of watching LCFC who can barely pass to each other properly! Really? The amount of times recently i've watched England and thought this is just like watching Leicester must be about 95%, In the last few years England have been about as good (or bad depending on which way you look at it). Unless of course as someone else said you mean USA. In which case I wouldn't have a clue because I'm not sure what type or how good USA are.
Floating Fox Posted 20 May 2008 Posted 20 May 2008 You'd have to be really stupid to go to this unless your american
Joe. Posted 20 May 2008 Posted 20 May 2008 This is blatantly going to be an awful match. I'm going 1-0 England.

They were 5th in the world going into the tournament but have now fallen to about 20 or 30 something in the rankings. England will run out winners. Either way, i'm going to have abuse hurled at me during/after the match. Should be fun

Either way, i'm going to have abuse hurled at me during/after the match. Should be fun The only reason the US were ranked so highly was to spur a little interest from the american public. They know that (most) americans could care less about the sport unless they think they have a chance of winning. Its all about $$$$$
purpleronnie Posted 21 May 2008 Posted 21 May 2008 USA USA USA I would love the US to win just for the headlines on both sides of the Atlantic.
Smiffy Posted 21 May 2008 Posted 21 May 2008 I couln't handle the shite I would take from all my friends! Although, I'm getting a load of people together to watch it with the anticipation of a major piss-taking session afterwards.

SamL Posted 27 May 2008 Posted 27 May 2008 England coach Fabio Capello has named John Terry as captain for Wednesday's friendly against the United States.He gets the armband for the Wembley friendly as part of the rotation policy before a permanent skipper is named. And Capello said the captaincy will boost Terry after he missed a crucial penalty in Chelsea's Champions League final defeat against Manchester United. He said: "It is a good decision for John Terry after last Wednesday, which was not nice for him." Capello added: "He has played very well in training and when I told him he would be captain he was very, very happy. "As a captain I think it is important to be a leader, and John Terry is a leader." It is the first time Terry, 27, has been captain under Capello, and with a doubt over whether he will be asked to travel for Sunday's friendly against Trinidad and Tobago, this is likely to be his final chance to make his pitch for the armband before a permananent appointment is made. Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard, who turns 28 on Friday, led England in Capello's first game in charge against Switzerland in February. And Rio Ferdinand, 29, who skippered Manchester United to success in the Champions League and Premier League this season, wore the armband against France in March. Owen Hargreaves feels United team-mate Ferdinand should be England captain on a full-time basis. Hargreaves said: "There are a lot of individuals who could be captain but Rio has been the most consistent player in England this season." The midfield man added: "He epitomises our success at United and would be a fabulous captain." But he also insisted he would be happy with any final choice, saying: "I have a lot of respect for all those players such as Rio, JT, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, David Beckham. Go right across the board and they are all capable of doing it. "There are a lot of individuals who could possibly be captain. It is the decision the manager will make. I don't think there will be any animosity towards whoever gets the job." Capello says he will make up his mind about his permanent skipper this summer and Hargreaves is enjoying playing under the Italian, who replaced McClaren after England missed out on Euro 2008. The former Bayern Munich midfielder explained: "Everyone's still getting to know each other really but he carries the aura of a big coach - similar to the boss at United (Sir Alex Ferguson). "I think he does things his own way and players respect that. Everyone's ready to do their best for him. "You look forward to a change after a disappointing campaign - it's a breath of fresh air." I hope this isn't out of sympathy for Terrys penalty miss.
Number 6 Posted 27 May 2008 Posted 27 May 2008 I hope this isn't out of sympathy for Terrys penalty miss. I have regarded Capello as an idiot ever since he said Rooney could captain England one day.
