Sven: ‘I’m Good’

   

Sven says that his reputation as a quality manager is secure no matter what happens on Saturday.


  • Peter

    Arrogant attitudes is all we all have heard from Sven and, in general, from the english press on the upcoming game against Portugal. Sven, for example, said earlier that his team is better than the portuguese side in anyways. He’s gotta be kidding, right? This overoptimistic atmosphere is ust gonna make harder for us to digest a frustration later on playing portugal.

  • Uncle Pez

    His overconfidence is his weakness.

    Remember Apollo Creed vs. Ivan Drago?

    Im sure you play better football if you turn down doing shite adverts with corporate giants like pepsi and just get on with it. As for Sven, he should be proving himself and keeping quiet, not sucking himself off

    To all England fans…

    England WILL NOT win this World Cup. Maybe Mauritania or Mongolia or Maldives could win this World Cup if miracles took place. But no amount of miracle will let the English win this trophy. Not this time. The English are capable of winning trophies only in their own backyard. So, if England wants to become FIFA World Cup champions, they will have to host the event once more.

    Well folks England really haven’t been put under much pressure to date and still won! Hopefully they will step it up today and then a few will be shaking in their boots and be eating humble pie.

    Rooney hasn’t been at his best but he’s had a few run outs so by today’s match should be firing on all cylinders. Crouch just needs to stand there, do his thing and make the passes. What can I say think Gerrard has been a real trooper. Beckham has been abused no end on numerous blogs but hey he’s kept his team on the winning streak, scored a goal and I think I am correct (I am sure numerous people will come back if I am not) we have the least yellow cards. Unfortunately I am sure when we win Portugal will come back with “We didn’t have our best players out” well all I can say to that is who’s fault is that, they earned the red/yellow cards deal with it not our problem.

    All the best to England you have my support, all we can hope for is a good match and hopefully the diving team won’t be in contention lol.
    Enjoy the match everyone.

  • http://PACIFIC.NET.SG SVENTISKI

  • http://Germany Draco

    Oi england…land of hooligans,
    Message!
    If you can’t think of anything intelligent to write on this blog i suggest u fuck off and go elsewhere…
    Compared to the decent comments that other people have made on this blog they make YOU look like a dumb, loud-mouthed bigoted LOSER as well as a disgrace to your country!

  • PP

    england land of hooligans,

    Matey your supposed to have two brains cells that rub together to start some form sort of intelligence.Apparently one of your has stopped functioning, maybe need to see a doctor, but personally I don’t think there is much hope, Also if you do feel the need to come on to the English ‘Blog” site please be kind enough to use correct English, we are educated people, although we do understand ‘pigeon english’ we prefer not to. Enjoy the match

    Where is everyone? Down the pub?

  • cosmik debris

    Let’s just hope that Portugal don’t adopt the same tatics that they used against Holland, but it’s Portugal, only way they know how to play.

    Rooney’s foot will have a big X marks the spot on it, guaranteed.

    Wonder how many times Figo will go down holding his face today?

    Who will get the Figo headbutt? He should trademark it, did the same thing four years ago!

    Go England.

    @ england..land of hooligans
    Hadn’t you better go and feed the Tigers. Your brain cell must be really lonely!

  • PP

    cosmik debris, well said, Go England you rock!

  • Henrique

    Just to say to PP who called Portugal a diving team and thinks if we eventually loose (hope not) we will say we didnt have our best players on, to go and learn about football. We have beat englands sorry ass and we never did ou say much about that so we dont need excuses for england, because even with this team playing today every single Portuguese realy believes we can win england easy agaist your main squad. You know why? Because we have a REAL TEAM. A team that wants to win and plays together for a victory, not a team that plays for rooney and Beckham to do something. Thats why the violence broke down on hollands game, because the dutch tought they would just butcher our cristiano ronaldo out of the game and would win but only managed to piss us off. So worry not about us loosing and coming up with excuses because the portuguese can take defeat and so can our press. Not like yours that ALWAYS says that others cheat and that you desearved to go on in the competition. Regards from Portugal

  • Henrique

    And one more thing. We beat russia 1-7 in russia to get here and beat Mexico and Holland. If we loose today i can say i did something important in the football world!! CAN YOU?

  • http://www.httpguru.com vinoth

    England goona win, the worldcup and davidbeckham is the worldcup star and he will surely make a turning point in proving his ablity to score goals.

    What happened to Arg??? HAHAHA. they were said to be winners with young guns, never under estimate any team. England goona win. Wait and see.

    This blog confirms that England is the most hated footballing nation on this planet.

    This is hardlly surprising given their arrogance, their borting style (at par with the Germans), they overrated players (beckhand is one dimensional at most), their haughty media and their reputation.

    England, may you bow out of this world cup and get the foorballing lesson you deserve. An understrength Portugal team, I hope, will demolish the pitiful hoard of 11 you call your football team.

  • LLC

    Ash you are a sad bastard! I have seen your messages on Australia’s website saying exactly the same thing as above.. Bitter Kiwi that’s all there is too it. Go Shear a Sheep!

  • Ash

    LLC, excuse me?

    The message on the Australia blog was faird incum you idiot – it just move on, and be proud of your performance!

  • James

    Come on people!

    Is England over-rated?
    Are they boring?
    Are they arrogant?
    Do they dserve to lose?
    Lose horribly?

    The answer to all of the above is YES……..YES YES YES!!

  • LLC

    Ash Whatever your message said you are just a bitter sad git. I am English and oh yes we will move on …

    TO LIFT THE CUP.. Watch this space!

  • cosmik debris

    @ LLC

    Don’t stoop down to their level mate! Just in here to goad, no real interest in football, I must have missed their matches this WC. I love the New Zealanders, love the country, but it has no real culture (I apologise to any Maoris reading this) so to speak, that’s why their in here ragging the Brits. Culture, culture and more culture, just oozing out of our pours. Great literature Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Dickens. Some of the greatest minds the world has seen Darwin, Newton. The list is endless. Steam train, internal combustion engine, cast iron etc. etc.

  • Mario F

    The only thing England will win..will be a fast ticket to London…and a signed Portuguese team book with all players signatures and a special one from Scolari…

    WE will play with all the yellow and red cards.. we will play with the second team..
    We will play against 12 players..

    But we will do it with heart..

    Forca Portugal!!!!

    You’ve been in the sauna too long!

  • cosmik debris

    Let’s just hope that after some of the disgusting behaviour I’ve had to witness this year, Portugal vs Holland, Germany vs Argentina, Australia vs Croatia, and Australia vs Italy, that today is about the game and fair play. Not some fiasco.

  • Andy H

    I’m sorry, but if England win the world cup i’ll be amazed. There performances so far have been frankly pedestrian, and although the Portugal/England game is hard to call, I cannot see them beating Brazil or Germany to lift the trophy.

  • Fish-Chips

    England!! I hope to see you cheering on Portugal in the Semi-Final, after we humble your nation today!!! The algarve pubs will be serving you sardines and red wine!

  • Picanha

    To all english fans, from one portuguese fan:
    Here’s to hoping it is a good, fair game for both of our teams!
    Cheers & Saude!
    Forca Portugal & Forca England,
    it’s a pity we can’t both go through to the semis!

  • cosmik debris

    @ Andy H. Totally agree with the pedestrian performance England have displayed so far. As for the last comment, it ain’t over ’til it’s over. Let’s wait and see. There’s always 2010, minus Sven.

    @ Picanha. I’d like to sit and watch the game with you bud. All the best for a good game, let’s hope it’s clean, fair and exhilerating. I’ll curse if you win, though that said, I’ll probably curse England’s performance more. Cheers!

    Hey,

    Argentina fan here. I write blogs for our Argentine page.

    Just want to say that decision against Rooney was apalling. Plus Portugal’s football has been disgusting. They were playing like hooligans against Netherlands and are going all out again tonight.

  • Jason

    GOOD BYE ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!
    You deserve to loose!!

  • Gregors (I HAte the ref!)

    I Hate The ref in the portugal game! We sud of had a pen and rooney sudnt of been sent off!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ricardo was off his line before carregars pen so it sud of been another re-take!

  • USA

    I honestly think England got robbed. First, a very questionable red for Rooney. At most, it might have been a yellow. That really changed the game.

    Also, the re-taking of the penalty is pure bull shit.

    Don’t hang your head, you played a good match today (probably your best in the WC 2006). Tough luck.

  • RICKY

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA LOL THE BEST TEAM, finally meets a half descent team.. thats all it took, BYE BYE ENGLAND. YOU SUCK, OVERHYPED CHEATERS, GO HOME HOOLIGANS, GERMANY IS BETTER WITHOUT YOU.

  • tanel

    Goodbye England again :) We will meet in Estonia in June 2007.

  • Bonzacockatoo

    YES! Millions of massive English egos have just been popped!! TAKE THAT! England is a team of champions, but a team that could never play as a unit. They were extremely lucky to scrape through the group stages and a win against an undermanned and relatively unknown side in Ecuador.
    The British media have a habit of talking up its national teams to brain blowing proportions and have been in fine form talking up Sven and the cry babies for months. (Did anyone catch metro Beckham crying like the bitch he is after coming off?)
    I just wish Australia could have faced these egotistical losers at a game my fair country has just begun to master.
    See you in 2010!

  • RYANO

    Yes! Millions of massive English egos have just been popped.TAKE THAT!. England had very easy group stages and were lucky to win against an undermanned and relatively unknown side in Ecuador.
    The English media have a habit of talking up its national sporting teams to brain blowing proportions, in fine form raising expectations about Sven and the cry babies in the team, AKA Rooney and metrosexual Beckham. I just wish Australia could have faced these egotistical losers in a game the men from down under have have just begun to master.
    SEE YOU IN 2010!

  • RYANO

    PS
    THE WORLD HATES YOU ENGLAND!
    Especially your former colonies.
    IE Australia, New Zealand, USA, India, Canada, Bangladesh.
    If YOU HAD NOT ALLREDDY NOTICED.
    I PROPOSE INTERNATIONAL HATE ENGLAND DAY!
    What other Commonwealth mates are with me?

  • Pugnate

    Hey that’s not right. Yes England have had a colonizing past, but the people of England are far more anti war than those in Australia and USA.

  • Slash

    Shame… England should and could have done much better with the players they have, but in 460 minutes they have played in this world cup they never looked like a team.

    For a team tiped to be favourite 2nd only to Brazil to win this WC… it was very poor to play like they did in their 5 games.

    Definitely, England didnt deserve to be on the last 4(neither did Portugal i should say).

    good luck in 2010

  • cosmik debris

    @ RYANO – You really are some sad, pathetic, probably an out and racist, never had a girlfriend, degenerate. If you hate colonial England, why are you living in a country that is part of the Commonwealth. You probably sat there and watched Melbourne hosting the Commonwealth Games. No doubt you have English acquaitenances, though you’ll never express your views to them in case you get a good hiding. Which incidentally is what you deserve. I’d call you a Janus.

    Quick list of former empires:-

    Greeks
    Romans
    Spain
    Portugal
    France
    Belgium

    there’s many many more!

    Get an education and a life. We personally couldn’t give a CastlemaineXXXX what you think.

  • http://Germany Libra

    Ricky,
    I’d say the UK would be certainly better without you!!

  • Natalie

    I’m from Canada, and I cheer for England. I thought today, the refs were very inconsistent. Did you see that handball on Portugal that they did not call? What was that?
