It's quite naive to comment latest football results, however England's away qualifier game against Russia is worth it. And actually I don't want to have a laugh at Steve McClaren nor his players. The sad fact is that all was easy to predict. English supporters were very confident (in them self), but not in their team. To boo a guy like Frank Lampard is simply stupid.
From the very beginning of this campaign fans (and journals) were complaining about everything, destroying atmosphere around the national team. And even if they have been right, they shouldn't have behaved in such a way.
Now they went to Russia, to see the Sborna team with fanatical support of over 80k (!!!) fans, not surprisingly Guus Hiddingk's players won it and at the moment they are closer to European Championship finals.
And England? They need a help. Since April 2006, when S-G Eriksson said he was about to leave in July that year, England has been lost. They have been playing, but without any targets, aims, passion or even a team-work. Obviously, they have to employ new manager, but it would be helpful fo change unchangeable attitude of their supporters and media...
In the meantime, in my hometown Lodz Polish national team lost a friendly game against "new" Hungary. Excuse is we played guys who used to be subs. I don't have any excuse for attendance: cheap tickets and only 5k spectators at the 10k capacity ground in the over-800-inhabitants metropolis. That sad too.
However, at the end of the day, Poland is at the top of the group with just few points needed to qualify, while England may be struggled to obtain their position for the Finals. That's quite interesting, isn't?
