England vs Hungary: Pointless Friendly 11 Aug 10

On Wednesday we will be treated to a pointless international game at Wembley.

England will be playing Hungary with a Kick Off at 8:00pm BST. Unfortunatly it will be broadcast LIVE on ITV1 in the UK.

Vs

Here is the England Squad, with 3 new Caps.

England squad to face Hungary:

Goalkeepers: Ben Foster (Birmingham), Joe Hart (Manchester City), Paul Robinson (Blackburn)

Defenders: Wes Brown (Manchester United), Gary Cahill (Bolton), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Michael Dawson (Tottenham Hotspur), Kieran Gibbs (Arsenal), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), John Terry (Chelsea)

Midfielders: Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Adam Johnson (Manchester City), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), James Milner (Aston Villa), Ashley Young (Aston Villa), Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal)

Forwards: Darren Bent (Sunderland), Carlton Cole (West Ham United), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Bobby Zamora (Fulham)

No Carra, No Joe Cole, NO CROUCH!! but Shrek keeps his place 

Lets hope our 2 keep their fittnes. To be honest I may or may not watch this pointless game. I guess it was arranged to show off the World Cup!  But no.

England are 3/8
Draw 4/1
Hungary 8/1

May have some of that, as long as England do not win I'm Quids in! So what do we all think, good squad, OMG squad, Do we care? Well not this time for me.

What's the point in this?!

Just hope Gerrard and Johnson return okay.

It's a 'I don't give a sh*t squad'. F**k off Fabio, taking teams best players a few days before the league season starts.

Hope England get battered, and no Liverpool players are involved, and nobody turns up for this pathetic game.

One word "madness"

Glad Cole isn't in the squad, means he can stay with us and not run the risk of getting injured in this pointless game.

He might as well just take his c*ck out and wave it at the crowd for all the good this will do. Almost a vanity exercise in saying he is cleaning out the squad.
Lucas got called to the Brazil squad too. FFS

Glad Cole isnt in there.

Hopefully Gerrard and Johnson dont play either, absolute stupidty to have an England match 3 days before the start of the season.

I hope they play Gareth Barry so i can laugh at him again

Waste of player, I'm better than him

He is terrible!

An absolutly pointless game, absolutly crazy

After the way he played in the World Cup, I wouldn't want to see Rooney anywhere near the England team.

You gotta laff, so the only players missing from the wc squad were the ones who got next to no time on the pitch, notice Robinson has retired aswell, I'm sure world football are quaking in their boots having to face Cole & Zamora.

I'll be able to hear the boos from my house.

Wes Brown retired from International football, we're really doomed now this superstar has turned his back on us.

Just shocking that there is International games going on. Shocking.

I could not give 2 hoots about En-gur-lund. Watched 1 game in the WC and that was enough for me. I watch the England cricket team instead!

I will not be watching on wednesday. I will be playing Sensible Soccer on my good ol Amiga! ( much to the missus' annoyance )

Ronnie played and get imjured. Ha, that will b the day.

Anyone else getting really excited about this game? Can't wait...

Hart, G Johnson, Jagielka, Terry, A Cole, Lampard, Barry, Walcott, Gerrard, A Johnson, Rooney

Team according to talkaloadofbull.com..

Team is in.

I'm sorry but you might as well be playing with 9 men on the field if you're going to play Barry and Lampard in an England shirt. Sheer F***ing awful players for the national side.

Exactly, these two cocks had their chance in S.Africa, its a bloody friendly so give the youngsters a go, might find a couple with a bit of passion for the shirt.

Actually add that other total bellend John Terry in there. If you want hilarity watch his performance against Germany. Philandering, immoral little sh*t.

Barry and Lampard?

Reason why i think England are terrible as these two tw*ts are playing!

Find it really amusing that now Capello decides to play Gerrard behind Rooney instead of on the left, in a meaningless friendly...

So who are the back up keepers?

Just can't get my head around this friendly. The timing of it is of the highest stupidity.

I have got it on in the background, i found this much more interesting.

Match Highlights: England U21 2-0 Uzbekistan U21

Kelly scored, that daniel sturridge can't score for sh*t.

Just can't get my head around this friendly. The timing of it is of the highest stupidity.

Brings in a bit of money for the FA though...

Yay best thing about the game so far.. advertising our game vs Trabzonspor

I know i saw that and checked my hours and im free

Wish I put money on this now!

F***ing beauty of a strike by Gerrard!!

Great goal by Stevie

What a goal Stevie

Just updated fb to:

" See that Arsene, Thats what Gerrard is going to do this Sunday  "

Another great finish by Stevie!

WOW!! What a performance by THE captain

He just destroyed about 4 players then!

to quote meatloaf  "you took the words right out of my mouth" !

Steven GET THE F**k OUT Gerrard saves England AGAIN

So glad Capello isn't Liverpool manager, so miserable!

Wish I put money on this now!

Or may be not

Capello looks miserable as F**k because he knows he should have played Gerrard there during the World Cup.

+ called up Zamora / Gibbs / played Joe Hart in goal.

The first goal gave me a semi. The second goal made me change.

Stevie F***ing G, hope he carries this form on now.

Could be a blessing after all this pointless friendly. Nothing better going into the opening game of the season against a team like Arsenal than with your captain going into it on the back of 2 stunning goals.

+ called up Zamora / Gibbs / played Joe Hart in goal.

All played well too.

What position is Stevie playing in

What position is Stevie playing in

Sitting position at the moment. Just subbed off. ;-)

Glad he is off for a well deserved rest before the arsenal game. . .  But obviously i meant before that smart arse

Glad he is off for a well deserved rest before the arsenal game. . .  But obviously I meant before that smart arse

he went off 82nd minute if that.

He was the only one working his ass of.

Stevie pulls England out of the sh*t again.

So what position did he play then . . . Oh and not so much of a rest then. Probably glad of the game time for his fitness anyway

Glad he is off for a well deserved rest before the arsenal game. . .  But obviously I meant before that smart arse

TBH I'm no good with positions (ohh err!) unless it is the Keeper.

But nice to see Rooney go off, and England score. Drop Shrek and bring back Crouch.

Rooney injured? Crosses fingers

Just said he is having treatment for something

on ITV

Just heard Gerrard is getting some treatment.

Just heard Gerrard is getting some treatment.

Should be OK. 1st proper game since the Hull game last season

Oh come on! ! ! Treatment on his shear awesomeness hopefully. Im sorry Stevie you played too well today. You will have to go under the knife so your as poor as the rest of the players

he looked fine when he came off and looked fine all game.

Sure its just the game rub down by Ms Curan

Captain Fantastic to the rescue again I see.

Well done Mr Gerrard.

Did Gibbs and Wilshere get much time on the pitch and if so did they go ok ?

What was the point of an England game tonight? Can any give an explanation other than a money making exercise by the FA?  Sooner all international games, friendly & competitive, are part of summer tournaments & post season games, the better. 

Did Gibbs and Wilshere get much time on the pitch and if so did they go ok ?

Who?

They were both on the bench at KO.

Wiltshire came on at 83mins for our Stevie. I don't think Gibbs got a game.

Edit: must have missed him. 

I'm not sure it's a FA thing Roddenberry, I think it's a FIFA thing, almost every national team is playing a friendly, FIFA scheduled it. Holland played too today, but at least Van Marwijk dealt with it by not calling up anyone who competed in the World Cup, to not make their season preparations even worse and at the same time give other players a chance to prove themselfs.

Well done Steven Gerrard. Making Rooney, Lampard, Terry and Cole look Sh*te!


Well done to Kieran Gibbs as well. He looked really convincing tonight in place of the rancid disgusting thing that is Ashley Cole.

Did Gibbs and Wilshere get much time on the pitch and if so did they go ok ?

Gibbs came on at half time and was excellent. Wilshere came on with 8 minutes left and didn't really do anything of note, apart from one dangerous high tackle.

As usual LFC bail out a piss poor England. Lampard, Terry & Rooney were shocking as usual.

England are just F***ing horrible.

A bleak future ahead for them.

England are just F***ing horrible.

Explain?

Didn't see the game but I saw the goals and feel Gerrard took his goals well.

Explain?

Dire in the world cup torn and embarrassed by a better team in Germany.

Equally dire against a sh*te Hungary side spear headed by a 46 year old Zoltan Gera. Same usual sh*t off relying on individual player brilliance to scrape through games and get a result. My comment on a bleak future is directed at the prospect of England losing the likes of Gerrard, Lampard, Terry and co post the 2012 Euro. More so evident in Capello's comments that Milner is the future of England prior to the World cup. Dear Christ in serious trouble if that is the case as there is a plethora of players better then Milner, non-English offcourse who are not canonised in the same light as Milner.

I feel a bit bad for Gerrard. He's the captain of a team that thinks that is bigger than everyone else and does F**k all on the pitch, and since he's the captain, he has to pull the team up.

Explain?

They're a bit sh*t.


Simples!!!

You wonder why England are so poor, taking it on an individual player basis the are some good quality players,Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney,  Barry, Terry and Ferdinand. But put them together and and they become a wobbleing mass of jelly. No one leads the team the is a lack of passion, i would bet if you had the same players at club level it would be a different story, baffeling just baffeling
