You singing this same blasted song fuh de past 5 years... change yuh tune arready nah? Dat sound like ah real insecurity complex. We get it, allyuh like 101 5 yard passes with man stopping fuh siesta in de middle of the match. Nice.
The France match couldn't be played this way because Roy decided to play things more cautiously a) because the French midfield and attack deadly, b) because it was the opening match. Silly to be comparing the two matches when England decidedly did not play an EPL type of game, unless you believe Stoke football is representative of EPL football.
I don't follow you about the insecurity complex... what is there to be insecure about? I watch and enjoy all good football and I personally try to be objective and appreciate it wherever it originates, with a little bias based on personal preference like everybody else, so I don't follow you. I support a team, not a league. I'm not one of them men who blindly backing a team from a particular league...
As for the England - France game, I wasn't calling for England to play any one way or the other - they played for a result and got it. Who eh like how they do it (even if that includes me), that's not England problem - them men there to do a job...
I was just giving my interpretation of what Elan was implying by responding to tenorsaw. England played an exciting game against Sweden and the plaudits of EPL's excitement factor came showering down... Elan reasonably (to me) asked "where was all that excitement the France game?" I doh see what the fuss is all about.
