    Finished 3-0

    Nice debut for Nugent and a fairly better second-half but I think Mcclaren should still go, the first half and past performances are unforgetable

    Why are you so eager to slag Mclaren? Imagine where they would be without a manager of his calibre. He's only had a couple of games in charge. Once the players get on the pitch, there are only 22 people who can influence the game in either half, and I wouldnt blame Mclaren (I dont think he should have been put in charge in the first place-the FA only put Mclaren in charge because they felt people wanted an English manager. My vote was for O'neill) I'd blame the players. Defensively, they are superb, no one is going to get the tower that is John Terry, but midfield and up front is where the true weaknesses of the team are shown. How long has it been since Rooney scored in a competitive international? 2, maybe 3 years. Get someone like Bent who can score some damn goals, and stop giving out to Mclaren, because if he was sacked now, the team confidenc would go right down the ******* along with the results.

    Just for reference Andorra has a population of 72,000. My home town of Colchester 105,000 (and how much are our players paid to put out a performance like that?)

    Stevie G the 'Red Heart' probably saves Stevie M the 'Red Face' from global disgrace. England's professional soccer population probably exceeds the entire Andorra's population. A classical case of united hearts against disunited egos.

    What counts is the amount of talent in the population or better, how much talent comes out. Meaning if soccer is really important in that country, someones talent could stay undiscovered.

    A country like the Netherlands provided a good deal of superb football players while only having a population of 16,75 million, thats about the size of New York right ? Football is just really important here, Holland Is just one big football field. We played very bad against Slovenia though just won 1-0 at the end. And we played 0-0 against the amateurs (no offense its just so) of Luxembourg.

    :hmmm:I dare say that very few countries can compete with England in this obsession, especially a country - what ? - almost 1000 times smaller.

    Some facts in my brain from Andorra:

    Located in the Pyrenees, the country is completely mountanious. The first sport there is skiing. I think theres just like two major soccer fields in the whole country.

    Theres just one professional player that I can recall being of Andorran nationality, his name is Albert Celades. He is a bit famous, because he has played both for Barça in first place and then for Madrid. I dont know where exactly he plays now, or if he even plays, hes quite old I think. He has played for Spain already though, and therefore he can`t play with Andorra.

    The rest of the players are all amateur.

    (...) and that unfortunate People were afterwards forced to undergo the utmost Miseries of a Siege, in their Capital City of Barcelona; during which, great Multitudes of them perished by Famine and the Sword, many of them have since been executed; and great Numbers of the Nobility of Catalonia, who, for their Constancy and Bravery in Defence of their Liberties, and for their Services in Conjunction with Her Majesty and Her Allies, had, in all Honour, Justice, and Conscience, the highest Claim to Her Majesty's Protection, are now dispersed in Dungeons throughout the Spanish Dominions.

    I don't believe they've ever qualified for the European Championship before... now they are currently top of their group, although they did lose 3-0 against Iceland! in September

    Thank **** they dropped Lampard anyway. Gerrard's far better and everyone knows they can't play in the same team at the same time.

    I've heard in some earlier qualification they didn't score at all. Not a single goal..

    Lol get your stuff right.
    England is 244,820 sq km compared to
    The Netherlands 41,526 km²
    I ment UK ofcourse

    To my estimates thats only 244,820 : 41,526 = 5,9 times larger.
