Grudging grats to the sweaties for beating France tho :eek:

I gave up watching and I\'m glad I did. They are going downhill yet again. This will almost certainly be a start of more 0-0 agonising draws.:yawn:

Well your all a bunch of hasty pessamists aint ya!!!

Ok, so it wasn\'t the prettiest of games and whilst I agree it certainly was one we should have won it wasn\'t the worst performance we have ever seen (remember Northern Ireland?)

I think everyone is guilty of not giving Macedonia a bit of respect, (I certainly thought we would walk this and had a couple of quid on us to win 3-0 down the bookies) and I think the team and management did too. Full credit to Maccedonia for making a game of it- they certainly deserved a draw.

Some of the passing in midfield was dire- the usually spot on Gerrard looked poor (apart from that fantastic shot- if only it was half an inch lower!) And I don\'t think Lampard has had a decent game since before the world cup.

Nevville was unlucky not to have scored in the first half, and should have buried his chance, although to be fair he is a defender.

Rooney is still not at his best, but is showing signs of improving if he could just get a goal under his belt...

We looked a better side in ther 2nd half when Sean Wright Phillips came on and ran at their defence- hope to see more of this on Wednesday night, and need to play it wide more and get a decent service to the strikers.

We are still top of the group however, and as for all this talk about not even qualifying? Have a word!!!

I just wish that all this boring international nonsense would end so I can focus on my Premiership Fantasy Football! International breaks are so annoying.

It was cack though wasn\'t it? And no Gerrard in the next match... Oh well. I do think it\'s far to early for complete gloom though as OrkyDave says, plenty of exciting football action to come from England I reckon.

Oh and well done Scotland. Nice work!

We played like a half-decent team for about the last 10 mins... for the rest of the match we were utter shite. We were also utter shite in the WC. The passing was nowhere, the service to the forwards didn\'t exist and it was incredibly dismal throughout... WTF is Downing in the team? That goes for Lampard too, really poor performance. The only Rays of light were King and Wright-Phillips. Gerrard was way below par and Rooney was shockingly poor.

Grrr! Same-old-same-old at the moment.

Macedonia were a way better team. I definitely didn\'t think we were going to walk away with it. Let\'s hope the new boss has a few tricks up his sleeve (bring back Becks perhaps... at least he can cross the ball).

Maybe Croatia will be better. I saw a column by Sam Allordyce in the paper today, saying it might be worth dropping Rooney a match. Didn\'t see too much of it, was just skimmering.

Wasn\'t the last England game against Macedonia boring too? Well done to the Scots for beating the French. And I also wanna say that the Northern Ireland are rising stars, such an improvement!
