Disappointed With England

I supported France, South Korea, England, Argentina, Germany, Portugal, Spain and Japan as my favour tends to go to them whenever they are performing. Among all of them - England is the team I support the most. 

Yeah, traditionally we tend to put our eyes on England just like we watch English Premier League all the time. Of course that doesn't label the whole of Malaysia. Some like other teams, I know. 


But anyway, I'm so disappointed with them, because they are inconsistent. Sometimes, they are strong, sometimes they are weak. Sadly. The recent match is even worse, I did expect England to lose to Germany. 

But I never expect a 4-1 loss! 

Should be 4-2 due to Lampard's disallowed goal. Yeah, I also wanna rant about the noob referees, but let's keep it in topic :) 


The main reason why England is not consistent is because of the players. This is what Mr. Mark Lawrenson of BBC Sports have to comment about them. 

"When they come away with England, something happens to these very good players. They play as a collection of individuals, not a team."

Absolutely, I bet Fabio Capello will sure take a lot of heat due to the loss. By the way, before the World Cup began he should have notice the problem. 

You have a lot of star players like Rooney, Gerrard, Defoe, Cole, and etc is pointless. You need teamwork. Just look at the other teams like the new Brazil and Argentina. Even Messi knows what is teamwork. 


A winning team is not about the football stars in it, it's about team chemistry. There is no I in a TEAM. Next time please collaborate to earn legacy. 

Gonna stay up to support Argentina!

Happy that England scored! But what I didn't expected is Slovenia was out. Lando Donovan managed to score a late goal against Algeria and that was surprising.


Still, England still needs to buckle up for a more difficult series of matches as they are beginning to face the giants. Hopefully Mr. Rooney performs better. 


Anyway, while viewing at both matches (ENG vs SVN) and (USA vs ALG), I viewed at this comment. 

Yeah, the one in the middle. (Derka Derka)

Well, due to RTM's incapability to cover ALL sports, I had no choice but to follow some live updates from the site. And yeah, Derka-derka's comment is one of the thousand comments that are racist and unscrupulous. (perhaps millions)


I mean, you shouldn't be yelling hate/racist comments while celebrating the World Cup. The game is wonderful, where you have 32 teams from every corners of the world playing together in the spirit if humanity. Plus, it's the team you criticized at the max, not the country and the people. That has nothing to do with the game. 

Say No! To Racism. Love and celebrate the game together! Sports are meant to bridge the gap among nations. It is for world peace, not war. Don't we want to have peace, after all? 


Life is short, why hate?
