England scared?!

[JFolan]

Home internationals are set to return to the fixture list as early as February 2008 but do not currently include England, BBC Sport understands. -

Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland will announce their participation in a new competition, called the Celtic Cup.
-
If they dont enter it, it proves there scared of being lowered in the British rankings because most of the British teams has been up in alot of form like Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales.
-
Hope they do tho cause wont be as much fun for scotland to not play england :P

[FlyingJesus]

England aren't technically a Celtic nation, but yeah I'd like to see us in there. Even if we don't win, we clearly need more matches together as an international side.

[JFolan]

They bloody better play in it lol cause it will be all one sided for scotland if they dont

[Geraint]

They bloody better play in it lol cause it will be all one sided for scotland if they dont

Your having a laugh. Please remind me of the score about 2 years. I just remembered it was 4-0 to Wales. You've come third in your group and you think your world-beaters.

[reindeer.]

can't you just **** about england/scotland now?
I'm fed up if you shouting about it.
I'm not saying theyr'e not as good, but please, stop going on about it!

[JFolan]

Your having a laugh. Please remind me of the score about 2 years. I just remembered it was 4-0 to Wales. You've come third in your group and you think your world-beaters.no its because we dont have a stupid german manager now :| scotland are well better thn wales easy lol

[Smits]

Tbh, the English team should have no problem playing against those team, i'm not saying it should be easy, but they should win, but i bet tif they enter, they will lose to at least one at the current form.

[Cypher-]

They bloody better play in it lol cause it will be all one sided for scotland if they dont

Wow I thought that was an english person being an arrogant gimp there for a second, one good set of matches and you think scotland are world beaters, dont make me laugh there is one good thing about your team and thats young hutton.

If my memory serves me correctly Northern Ireland will be defending the home nations cup as they were the last country to win it.

Lmao but they arent lets face it and Ill tell the honest truth here even though I hate england but they do have the best players out of all the home nations, they didnt perform so well this year and theres no excuses, scotland had a good run but werent good enough to qualify same as all of us, dont know how you can say one failure is better than the other.

[PaulMacC]

Northeren ireland > Scotland

[JFolan]

Nah scotland first hence they beat the better teams.

[Oni]

England > Rest of UK
If England have all of their top players playing then lets be honest, they will most likely win.

[JFolan]

like they had all there best players most of the full cup?
but not the last game hhm they should be through should they not ?

[Geraint]

England are the better team, just face it. How many times have they been in World Cup + European Championships compared to you.

[JFolan]

England are the better team, just face it. How many times have they been in World Cup + European Championships compared to you.Excuse me what does the past have to do with anything in todays football lol oh ye nothing england had a jk group an couldnt go thro scotland had the hardest group by 500 miles an had the world champions an runner up having sleepless nights what did england do lmao give macedonia fifa ranking points lmao!!! face it england are a has been team now its time for scotland wales northern ireland to take over.

[Ramones]

someone will put scotland back in there place soon.

[Jordie]

england are out of form but are probably still good enough to beat all of those.

[Smiddy]

someone will put scotland back in there place soon.
jeez I hope so just to shut this guy up.

Scotland had a good run of form, well done to them, England didn't have a good run of form, so what.
Do you see Scottish league teams trying to promote English players? No? Do you see Scottish players in the Premiership? Yes? Amazing that. Without those players in the Premiership, you'd be sunk.

English teams import foreign players for ease, since English players with high quality are hard to come by, hence, a second-rate England team is worse than a Full strength Scottish 1. It's just natural logic.

Why would England be scared, they'd want the extra economy, you not heard? 100 MILLION pounds on shirt sales cos of this campaign, so they're hardly going to back down are they :S!

-
England have backed down already.
-
England are to be offered a last chance to join in a new home international championship. If they reject it, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are set to establish a Celtic Cup competition with the Republic of Ireland completing a four-country line-up.

England U-21s. Most of the Welsh players are under-21s. And yet the Under-21s beat France 4-2. Wales have a good future.

You just suck and biased to Scotland.

Wales

the
celtic
cup!

[JFolan]

Not really :P i have welsh irish english scottish blood in me ;) i can pick out any of em but i see greatness whn i see it which is scotland.

[Cypher-]

JFolan you actually dont know anything about football, scotland had one good group campaign and STILL couldnt go the distance, They are a truly horrible footballing nation and I dont mean just the national team, Im not meaning to be rude here but your SPl and two biggest teams produce a quality of football similar to the english league 1.

Honestly please stop being an arrogant little kid, I have such a passion for football that it annoys me when I see your dimwitted posts, and when I see you bad repping me for "pointless posts" YOU are a kid who knows nothing about football, scotland will never break into a team that can play world class football, you got wins marginally due to fierce shots and cramming up your half by putting everyone behind the ball, thats a horrible way to play football. Just grow up, I hate england but they ARE the best football team out of the home nations and they are one of the best teams in the world without a doubt, they had a clown for a manager and have players like ashley cole who play for money but with the right manager who has a no nonsense approach and sorts some of these pre-madonna's lives out they can go out on their day and give any team in the world a good smashing. Scotland wales northern ireland or the republic cant do that EVER.

[StefanCampbell]

i dont think scotlands the best in the world i know tht there the best in UK tho

Folan you noob, i remember you from YEARS ago on Habbo, still as ARRAGONT as u always were.

Scotland best in the UK pfft? you think Scotland own becuse they finished third and beat France twice, But the fact is you will never be as good as England.

[Soka]

i just read through this, and what the hell is this thread about
are you trying to brag that england didn't qualify (for the first time since 94)
and you seem to think scotland are now better than england because of a bad form. yes, scotland had a harder group but they still didn't qualifiy, i seem to remember they had to be georgie to secure theyre place and they drew with them. england were far more than capable on paper, and in players to qualify but just didn't perform in the important games. not an excuse, but you say we had a full team? well in my book, owen and rooney are usually both playing upfront... i didn't see them on wednesday night did you?

your opinion is soo biased its unbelievable, england are still ranked higher than scotland in FIFA official rankings, EVEN after the losses to croatia and bad draws. you say most of england's team is going to be 30 in a few years?

i wouldn't call richards, phillips, rooney, barry, gerrard, coel hardly old? & there lots of young good english goalkeepers that can be used. scott carson just had a bad game, and was probably nervous i dont know why mclaren played his debut in an incredibly big game

to put it straight anyway.
SCOTLAND FIRST 11 ALL ON FORM
AGAINST
ENGLAND FIRST 11 ALL ON FORM
england will win indefinitely.

[Browney]

Overrated? Ha. That's rich coming from you. You overrate Scotland all together. Scotland will always be second to England. The world looks at the UK and almost every country would rather face Scotland than England. That's because they fear England.

[360]

Your having a laugh. Please remind me of the score about 2 years. I just remembered it was 4-0 to Wales. You've come third in your group and you think your world-beaters.

That result 2 years ago, you ant compare it now.

2 years ago Scotland were ranked 88th in the Fifa Rankings and had a terrible foreign manager.

Now Scotland are 13th, an all time high and have a decent Scottish manager.

Well Gerrard is nearly 30 but don't know about the others, and definitely agree with the second bit - on form England are an excellent team, we just don't play well together at the moment. Call me conservative but I blame it on there being too many changes in the squad too quickly.

Oh but of course, Italy is **** scared of you. :rolleyes:

Oh, lets not forget France! You beat them twice. That must mean the runners up to the World Cup will go running next time.
