Posted June 11, 201114 yr Group A Belarus, Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland Results: 11th - Belarus (Voronkov, Shakvysh) vs. Iceland: 2 - 0 11th - Denmark vs. Switzerland (Shaquiri) : 0 - 1 14th - Switzerland (Frei, Emeghara) vs. Iceland: 2 - 0 14th - Denmark (Jorgensen, Eriksen) vs. Belarus (Baga) : 2 - 1 Fixtures: 18th - Iceland vs. Denmark 18th - Switzerland vs. Belarus Group B England, Spain, Ukraine, Czech Republic Results: 12th - Czech Republic (Dockal) vs. Ukraine (Bilyi): 2 - 1 12th - Spain (Herrera) vs. England (Welbeck): 1 - 1 15th - Czech Republic vs. Spain (Adrian): 0 - 2 15th - Ukraine vs. England: 0 - 0 Fixtures: 19th - England vs. Czech Republic 19th - Ukraine vs. Spain Had the Belarus and Iceland match on in the background and with it being a pretty boring half I turned off at half time.. to find out that a player had been sent off and Belarus had a penalty in the second :o Looking at the other teams makes England look pretty pathethic with the whole "Wilshere is too tired to go". 4 of the Switzerland U21 team played in the match vs. England, Spain have two world cup winners amongst them etc..
June 11, 201114 yr The second half of Belarus v Iceland was an improvement but still fairly poor. It was a clear penalty and, therefore, had to be a red card.
June 11, 201114 yr Wenger spat his dummy out with Wilshere. I honestky believe Wenger forced his hand on that one. Spain and England have the best two teams on paper. Spain will probably win.
June 12, 201114 yr Author England team: Fielding, Walker, Bertrand, Smalling, Jones, Mancienne, Henderson, Cleverley, Rose, Welbeck, Sturridge Subs: McCarthy, Steele, Muamba, Albrighton, Sinclair, Tomkins, Cork, Lansbury, Rodwell, Delfouneso, Wickham Spain team: De Gea, Montoya, Botia, Dominguez, Didac, Thiago, Javi Martinez, Ander, Mata, Adrian, Jeffren Subs: Mino, Marino, Azpilicueta, San Jose, Parejo, Bojan, Capel, Nsue, Angel, Ruiz, Perez, Munian
June 12, 201114 yr Pretty awful from England. All his physique nonsense is just an excuse. The tactics just aren't right. Since when was Maninnce (sp?) a midfielder? He was terrible. Welbeck is bloody awful as well. I know he scored but he's really got a lot to work on. Seems that England enjoy playing hoofball.
June 13, 201114 yr Author After the first goal.. I really did think the scoreline could turn out to be pretty embarrassing, so I'm surprised that it ended up as a draw in the end. Good result though The final will probably end up being Spain vs. England..a bit like in 2009 when Germany and England drew 1 - 1 during the group stages and Germany then ended up winning 4 - 1 during the final I wasn't that impressed with Welbeck either. I'd be tempted to try out Wickham against Ukraine But.. I was on the other hand impressed with Kyle Walker
June 15, 201114 yr Author Another draw vs. Ukraine Very solid defensively, but lacking elsewhere. They won't get anywhere with the amount of long balls being played in the first half
June 15, 201114 yr Slightly disappointing draw, after the first five minutes I thought it was only a matter of time until we scored. Agree about Mancienne, we have the makings of a really good team there but it's not quite materialised. Promising for the Olympic tournament next year though, provided managers don't throw Wenger-style hissy fits.
June 16, 201114 yr Stuart Pearce is tactically inept. There are some brilliant players coming through, but the team is not played to its potential. God help England is Welbeck is leading the line in the future...
June 19, 201114 yr At 0-0 in the 60th minute I bet a total of £35 on England to win, England to win 1-0 and England to score 1st. All looked to be going so well....
June 19, 201114 yr Like Capello a year ago I don't understand Pearce's team selections. I don't get why Rose and Muamba are in the squad let alone play such a part. Sinclair is MASSIVELY overrated, I think he'll be a massive failure in the PL next season, Lansbury and Albrighton are better than Cleverly.
June 19, 201114 yr Author LOL what a fail Czech Republic vs. Switzerland Spain vs. Belarus Spain vs. Switzerland final with Spain winning !
June 19, 201114 yr With England not making it, the two losing semfinalists will have to play a playoff game to qualify a third team to the Olympics.
June 20, 201114 yr Like Capello a year ago I don't understand Pearce's team selections. I don't get why Rose and Muamba are in the squad let alone play such a part. Sinclair is MASSIVELY overrated, I think he'll be a massive failure in the PL next season, Lansbury and Albrighton are better than Cleverly. He's clueless. England will never win anything unless they change their footballing philosophy.
June 23, 201114 yr Spain 3:1 Belarus Switzerland 1:0 Czech Republic Spain and Switzerland in the final AND in the Olympics. Belarus and Czech Republic will play a play-off game to get the thrid Olympic spot.
June 25, 201114 yr Author So Spain are the deserved winners. No surprises there The Spanish domination won't be ending anytime soon then You can really see a difference in mentality though. The English media/public were only really interested in Wilshere being "burned out" Whereas, the Spanish were pretty much only interested in winning and sending their best players
June 25, 201114 yr Spain, Switzerland and Belarus join Brazil, Uruguay and Team GB as the teams qualified up to now to the 2012 Olympics football tournament.
