Cant imagine how the country that has a top league in the world couldnt get into the 2008 Euro.. . the game against croatia was better than any worldcup finals. ..  where there was a case for engalnd to draw as they werebehind by 2 goals till halftime... .  . . they even came back after the penalty of Lampard and the superb cross of Becku that was extraordinary finished by crouch . .. had given a  hope to the euro and  that was all needed. ..

but the dreams of the players and the 90,000 peopole at wembley and millions people around the world was dstroyed when croatia added a goal ...and defeated england 3-2. . .  in their own home.. .England  even had got a rebirth after russia was defeated by israel at the weekend and had the game in their own but became helpless..

C'mon, blaming them is unnecessary as it all comes down to basic economics.  What do you think they get paid playing for England?  Chump change or in some cases Nada!  Now, what do you think they're paid when they play for the premiere league clubs?  Mucho dinero.  Just taking this aspect into mind, is it even rational that they go all out (risking injury) in international matches?  One injury and they could risk their livelihood for good.  On the other hand, what do these no-name nations with no-name player have to lose?  Nothing.  They have all to gain and they go all out in these matches often getting noticed by the premiere leagues.  But once in the premiere leagues, they're just another statistic as the level of the game is much more intense (including the fans) than the World Cup matches.

Look in our own backyard for such a phenomenon: ala the NBA's US Dream Team (not the original '92 dream team).  They are an embarrassment but at the same time, balming them is unnecessary as its more about personal gain than patriotism in this age of "money talks, BS walks".

What does EPL being one of the top leagues in the world has anything to do with England not being able to reach to the Euro 08'. It is the clubs with a big stacks of dough who manage to gather players from all over the world and contribute EPL in making it so glamorous.

But it is certainly disappointing to hear this. England is a reputed and one of those few teams that draws viewers to their tv screen. I am not willing to watch any Poland or freaking Greece or any Austria/Switzerland holding the championship again.

Joke?!

FFS, I'm sick and tired of hearing this sort of bullshit over and again. A great team needs to have great players to win or even qualify for big competitions, England has only 1 or 2 and furthermore, they never perform well because they aren't good enough - it's as simple as that. Lets not make any mistakes my friends, England is the shittiest and the most over hyped national team in the World. Rooney?! Doh. Someone who scores for his country once every two years can never be rated as high as the likes of Sheva can he? What about Crouch? And Scott Carson of all goalies? The fact remains : England is thought to be world beaters because of the hype created by the British media. Look at the Croat side, did they have any big names? No! But didn't they have great players? Just because we don't get to hear the Croat players' names in news every week doesn't mean that the team is shit itself. We tend to think that England are one of the best because of the news surrounding Beckham, Cole, Rooney and Fat Lampard. In reality, they're some ordinary players making some ridiculous wages!

Live with it fellows. I for one am certainly glad that the most over rated team failed to qualify. France, Netherlands, Spain, Italy and Croatia are the big teams in Europe not ENGLAND!

Individually England always have a great player but wghile in team work ... they never success.. .  but still with england in euro would have been more intresting, more hyped and all ... they and their media would made the tournament more energized and more advertised. . . now do u think the wild english fan gonnna travel to austria and switzerland . ..  for us, we could have get a chacne to watch some of the important game ... u would better excited between the game of eng vs france or italy or german rather now would be like russia or francr or italy . .. Just a sorry for beckham .. .  had the third goal not been,  the game would have been 2-2 and the england would  qualify . .. and  the england would qualified because of the  presence of beckham ... who did a superb crosss. ..  and he would have been given more credit as like he got when he scored the goal in freekick against greece in  qualkifying for world cup at the last minute . ..    the disqualification of england might also bring a halt in beckhams dream of making 100 caps. ...
i do appreciate beckham... he is a real hero .. .  who was dropped by the coach in real madrid and letter because of him they won the title after 4 years and the same way he was dropped by Steve and later because of him the struggling england came back in the qualifying 3 months before .. ..
and he did porved wednesday even though was meaning l;ess...\

They are a bunch of overpaid losers....with no national pride....Also the coach was a total nutcase..!!! Of all the goalies he gives Scott Carson a start...the guy is talented but ... I would rather have David James as my goalkeeper for such a crucial match...What surprised me most was the starting formation 4-5-1...It was a very negative approach, as if they were inviting the Croatians to attack..as if they were playing for a draw...

You could actually see the difference when he brought in Beckham and partnered Defoe with Crouch...and went with the 4-4-2 formation...Defoe earned a penalty and Crouch scored a superb volley of a cross from Beckham...

If you look at the country from BRITAIN , scotland were head and shoulders better than England and probably deserved more than england to be in the Euro 2008. It is their bad luck that they got into same group as the world champions Italy and the runner up France. Even then they almost qualified. England are lucky that they were not in the same group as france and Italy or else they would have been absolutely battered . Eventhough  I like england, they didnt deserve to be in the Euro 2008.
