RTE World Cup 2010 - England v USA post-match analysis Part 1

[himaytattz]

When will england accept that they are not on the same level as brazil, italy, or germany?

[gunninlinguist]

Such refreshing honesty & levelheadedness compared to the bile from the English punditry. Some of the more sickening quotes from the World Cup;"theres isnt 1 team England wont be able to beat"(Talksports),"England have the talent on paper to beat Germany7-0"(5 live),"Germany don't have one player good enough to get into Englands team"(various). Best gem of all-Alan Shearer-"if I had a choice of all the players in the World I honestly wouldn't be sure which England players I would take out."LOOOL

[gunninlinguist]

Yeah should have played Joe Cole. Him and Rooney were the only England players with any genuine technical ability...for all the hype...

[sgq85]

England hadn't been a big team since 66 ', USA and England same level

[ephabouyed]

The English style is too impatient, if you look at the way they play they rush the ball up to the strikers ASAP, the Spanish on the other hand keep the ball and wait for the chance, very patient with the ball.

[bighands69]

The truth is that British football has been in decline for the last 30 years.

It is now at the point were a youngster does not know how to control or pass the ball all they do is rush the other end of the pitch as fast as they can.

Could you ever imagine england or scotland or ireland playing like spain or brazil. It is an impossible.

There is only one player on the England team if he is fit that could play for spain and that is Rio because he can pass the ball as a defender.

[TheRedArmy1992]

Wow a lot of Americans thinking way over their heads hahaha

[SuperSteveyLes]

@mg1340 The analysis haere isn't focusing on Rob Greens mistake, so I think the USA deserved the draw either way, you can't blame one player for failure in football. It's a team game.

[AK1729]

Why are all these Americans so bloody happy? You drew 1-1 so what??? Sure I agree America are now better than England (BTW I am British) because England used to be good but if your American team are Sooo good then why didn't you win huh???

[thejoker34ful]

us americans are better than the english and why the fuck have they got an italian manager when hes suppost to be british

[sn1ckl3frit5]

what the usa are is they are better than england and ireland

[sn1ckl3frit5]

1950 world cup: usa 1 england 0

2010 world cup: usa 1 england 1

[Konformation07]

@sn1ckl3frit5 USA is undefeated against England in World Cup play. Fuck yeah.

[ucfbaj]

im sorry but bradley isnt ordinary at all. he's 10 times better than barry and any english holding midfielder besides maybe huddleston. barry is the one who's average and british pundits highly overrate him. just becuase they dont knw bradley, doesnt give them the right to call him average. england in the wc had a few world class players rooney, lampard, gerrard, terry, cole the rest were all AVERAGE and overrated. british pundits were the only ones shocked by their performance

[kirk90212]

Look. You can opinianate until you're blue in the face. That fact of the matter, as this match prooved, is that Major League Soccer has surpassed the Premiership in terms of quality. TOTAL SOCCER!!!

[TheJourney369]

@kirk90212 : hahahahaaha....you've got to be kidding me!!! your comment just shows how lil you know about football or soccer hahahaha very funny!

[kirk90212]

@TheJourney369 Sarcasm: not just for the English anymore.

[kirk90212]

@TheJourney369 To clarify: yes, I was joking, It must just piss off England fans to no end to draw the US. I think thats funny.

[tommybritain]

@TheChris370 dude, we didn't lose.. why are you so happy 0_o? It was a draw...

[bouncingsoul10]

Souness is a knob.

[SuperTotoz]

gone are the days when certain countries dominate football no more easy wins thank god

[GreenGretel]

I love my British cousins, but it was fun as hell to watch these spoiled "world-class" players crash and burn. XD

[VAXMANT123]

it's the media who hype up the team , everytime england play a game they promote it to the max. if england have a good record against a team coming up like they did against croatia goin into d euro 2008 qualifiers and what happened, dey lost to croatia home and away . i was watchin your on sky sports after dis game nd a guy called in and sed y can't u get over d fact u have an ordinary team, ray parlour and d oder guy just laughed at him. if ireland played shit, dunphy and giles wud say it.

[guy2008rules]

why is the USA vs Slovenia analysis not here

[Guerillaradio13]

england = to cocky

they won 4-0 against bulgaria on friday night in the Euro 2012 qualifiers

and yes

u guessed it

theyre gettin well cocky already about being able to win it

its a joke

and its gettin OLD ENGLAND ya shit face it!

[adub4ever]

@RICKYMDOGG

dude i watch NFL football, a real mans sport i suggest you watch cuz soccer is supposed to be yalls sport, and we kicked your bloody arses

[Nihilanth1982]

@adub4ever Learn to write properly you stupid fucking prick. NFL - fat cunts in tights, padded, jumping on each other. A reals man sport? Get real. Rugby is a real mans sport. You wouldn't last 5 minutes playing that.

[adub4ever]

dude your the real prick, you probably live in england with your ragheads thinking the Premier League is the greatest shit ever... come to America come check out our billion dollar stadiums.... and actually i have played rugby for my city Denton texas rugby... its physically demanding which i like, but American football you can do so much more than just pitch the ball backwards!!!!!!!! we invented the forward pass about 100 yrs ago.

[Nihilanth1982]

@adub4ever You are a fucking idiot. Noone gives a fuck about NFL, it's not even good enough to be deemed an olympic sport. The whole world watches the world cup, and yes the Premiership shits on your pisspoor version of 'football' all the time. Wembley > all your stadiums. As for your 'raghead' remark - what's that got to do with anything? You stoop that low to make racist remarks it's sadand pathetic, and does not win you any respect or credibility whatsoever.

[adub4ever]

@Nihilanth1982 raghead isnt a racist comment. they actually wear rags on there heads so its just a true comment. the premier league is the best soccer league in the world no doubt, but yall only draw about 40k a match. the NFL draws 80k every week at every game. yalls athletes are skinny teenagers kicking a damn ball, our athletes are the best in the world. avg 6'4'' 250lbs and super fast. i would love to see Englands national rugby team play the Dallas Cowboys in a game of rugby. we would own

[Konformation07]

@Nihilanth1982 who cares about being an olympic sport. Cricket isn't rugby just barely got backed so......

[adub4ever]

"workman like" "journeyman" ..... hahaha u brits are so arrogant , go brush ur teeth

[RICKYMDOGG]

@adub4ever

RTE is an Irish television studio you stupid fucking dick.

[wetblanket187]

@RICKYMDOGG Just to clarify as you seem to be a little confused. This clip is from Ireland and features the views of three Irish men and one man from Scotland. There is no connection to England except for the language that is spoken. If you still don't get it then thats fine because all you Canadians make the same mistake ;)

[RICKYMDOGG]

@wetblanket187

I'm guessing you didn't intend to direct this at me?

[wetblanket187]

@wetblanket187 Yeah sorry, was intended for that American half-wit. Ah well, there goes the element of surprise!

[Pseudonym25]

We didn't get this kind of honest analysis in England after the match. Our pundits were papering over the cracks and spinning it as if the squad had given a decent performance.

It speaks volumes of how fucking terrible our performance was against Algeria that the commentators and newspapers had no choice but to pull their heads out of their arses and admit what a complete sack of diarrhoeretic shit this team is.

They're a disgrace, every one of them.

[Raffy27]

england just doesnt have the class, most of their players dont have technique and playing intelligence

[goykur]

compare the analysis of the bbc and rte after the england Slovenia match . the bbc were talking as if england had turned the corner and good times lay ahead, while rte said that it was a shocking performance and england just and i mean just beat slovenia whooppie! rte got it right as usual as soon as engerland played a good team , they would be going home

[alwayswinit4real]

@goykur If Lampards goal was counted it would of been a different game.

[goykur]

@alwayswinit4real

its alway if with u lot

if ronaldo had not have wound rooney up, u would have beat portugal in 2006

if beckham had not broken his foot before wc 2002 , u would have won it

if beckham had not been send off against the argies in 1998,

if gazza had not been booked against w gerrmany in 1990

if maradona had not have hand balled it in 1986

if bobby charlton was not substituted in 1970

if if if if if

if my aunty had a pair of balls, she would be my uncle!!

[kilomeister]

non football knowledge. rte are to football as sourness is to james connolly. embarrassing coverage.

[irishdan2007]

@kilomeister u serious? they actually talk truth rather than the shite on bbc and itv

[bear24rock]

they speak the truth everytime...i couldnt believe how bbc and utv were speaking total shit!!...dunphyland baby;)

[bobtheirishguy]

Rte really has the best football anaysis........ There is nobody better! Its completly honest

[eamonnca1]

"Let me finish! Let me finish"

Nobody was interrupting him! LOL! The only reason they keep Dunphy on the panel is because people love watching him make a dick out of himself!

[jamessheehy21]

thebooshhh is an idiot.dunphy has the record appearances for milwall.rte lads just tell the truth,they dont sugarcoat anything

[colinsmyth99]

@jamessheehy21 millwall you say

[gj1234567899999]

capello isnt the problem. capello is a smart guy and he made the best moves he could. the honest fact is that england players are just not that good.

he should have put in joe cole, he shouldnt have played hesky! and everything would be fine! well joe cole played against germany, and he didnt do crap.

capello realizes that england just have the skill to kick it downfield and hope some tall guy can head it in. thats capello's assessment of english football, and the correct one.

[alwayswinit4real]

RTE's analysis is always fun to watch. Pure biased nonsense with eamon dunphy occasionally saying "john and liam were great players".

RTE is completly biased against england but all the english channels are completly biased in their favour. So I find myself watching both and looking for a middle ground.

[thebooshhh]

you paddys make me laugh you should all fuck off and support shamrock rovers eamonn dunphy cunt if it wasnt for english football what the fuck would u watch sour grapes how many of you will be supporting gerrard lampard rooney next year in premiership hypocritical cunts think im wrong remember these words when u r in the pub watching arsenal man utd nxt season if it wasnt 4 england you wouldnt even have a fucking team andy townshend from county dagenham! jack charlton! fuck off

[TheWearsider]

Eamonn is spot on

[BoxingBadBoy77]

This show is quality and im an englishman!These guys tell it how it really is which is what all footbal fans love.

[FlyingPig1902]

Souness is talking so much shit in this video - particularly when he talks about Italian football and Inter Milan. What an idiot

[turkishheadstand]

Kevin Keagan's famous last words before this game on ITV - "I'm going with 5-1 England. We will be too strong for them". Gerrard after the game against Algeria last night - "this was their world cup final tonight" & Rooney last Weds "missing a few players we should still beat Algeria". The arrogance is incredible. Where does it come from?

[alwayswinit4real]

@turkishheadstand It comes from the fact that England had a fantastic qualifying campaign and from the fact that they have about 5 or 6 world class players.

Thats where it comes from.

[seamustheplatypus]

@alwayswinit4real , "5 or 6 world class players" ?!!! Seriously... How many failures will it take for people to realize these players are totally overhyped ?!

They were poor in 2006 and even worse in 2010.

These so called great players were outplayed by ALGERIA for chrissakes !!!!! They're just not good enough, full stop.

[alwayswinit4real]

@seamustheplatypus

Ashley cole - 1 of the best left backs in the world (evra is the only one who comes close)

John terry - consistently ranked as on of the two best centre backs in the world

Wayne Rooney - 1 of the 5 greatest players living

Steven Gerard - 1 of the best midfielders alive (only the likes of xavi and iniesta are better)

Frank Lampard - for me an incredibly over rated player that some consider to be world class. Gets a lot of goals for chelsea but half of them are penaltys.

[Konformation07]

@alwayswinit4real and loves to miss them inthe World Cup

[alwayswinit4real]

@seamustheplatypus Also RIO FERDINAND - had an off season but hes the most expensive defender ever for a reason. Hes world class when hes at his best.

[goykur]

@alwayswinit4real

world class means that you perform on the world stage!. when have england done that , nearly all of theses so called world class players have been involved off and on with engerland for 3 world cups and 3 euros and done fuck all. the only people that say they are world class are the english media.

who cares about the qualifying campaign, the big stage is the actual world cup tournament .

[alwayswinit4real]

@goykur The Champions League is just as big as The World Cup and all of those players have done it in The Champions League.

[goykur]

@alwayswinit4real

yesh the champions league is, the english lads are playing with gr8 players from all over the world, but when they r not u can see how limited they r. u cant say they just had a bad world cup, when have u last had a good wc or euros the reason why man united won the champions league was mainly down to ronaldo not rooney , if rooney had such a gr8 final why did fergie substitute him

[byan85]

Not difficult to go against England when they're playing as poorly as they have been doing.

[byan85]

Please get the ENGLAND v ALGERIA analysis up! I hate being out of Ireland and missing Dunphy and the lads.

[Kjfhotmail]

HA HA HA HA!!! i love watching england fuck up. It's so funny.

[Noid111]

@Kjfhotmail and I pissed myself when Henry put Ireland out! And how you whinged too! And the Irish PM got involved fuck me...

[jharrb]

Please upload more.Thanks!!!!!!!

[libertineoverdose88]

over on itv, kevin keagan and the gang were saying england played well, i was shocked, they cant even pass the the ball

[Kalyfatic]

Thank you very much chalkitdowm. I can't tell you how much I love RTE.

[maximmixam]

this analysis is so much better than bbc or itv. actually having a discussion rather than some shitty replays, and kev keegan saying 'england were unlucky'... how were they!?

[Dah4]

Ah come on, it is part of the fun of these tournaments to go against the English. Always was and always will be, regardless if Ireland qualify or not.

[andrewmoran357]

Allthough the truth was said - I hate that Dunphy is the biggest twat in Ireland he is basically paid to annoy everyone - he is also a drunk -he only played for Millwall and a handful of games for Ireland and was crap for both - I am an English man living in Ireland and I wont watch any football involving England in the pub because they all cheer for the opposition but they all go around in Liverpool and Chelsea shirts - they are just jealous cos Ireland did not make it.

[Bazzer239]

@andrewmoran357 - I completely agree with you. I see my father wearing Liverpool colours cheering on Gerrard every weekend (and mid week European fixtures) & then he suddenly turns on him when he puts on an England jersey. He's a hypocrite & so is most of this country. Same thing happens with the Chelsea (Terry, Lamps) & United (Rooney, Ferdinand) supporters. Its the biggest load of shit ever. As a Juventus fan all I can say is I saw this happening with Capello, hard to watch his teams play....

[richiesking]

stupid thick oirish cunts,,so biased.How the fuck was the England-Usa game worse than the other games..it was one of the most entertaining opening matches..CUNTS!

[andrewmoran357]

@richiesking - having said that you are thick yourself you cant say shit like that

[darkcowboyhero]

@richiesking HAHAHAHAHAHA... You mad? Yeh... You mad.

[theragingdemon]

@richiesking shut the fuck up, flamer

[breda83]

@richiesking The Algeria v Limeys game was so edge of the seat stuff

[M1TSIRUGI]

@richiesking Your team stinks, get over it.

[goodfella86]

I don't know why it's so hard for Greame to accept Inter were the best side in europe. They by far had the most difficult route to the final. Outfought Chelsea in both legs, completely outclassed Barca in their first leg and beat Bayern comfortably in the final. Most notably, all those teams were Champions of their domestic leagues.

[iamthewanganator]

Eamonn is spot on with his analysis of why Italian football is the way it is. Graeme needs to take a quaalude.

[thenickelbackfan5]

"let me finish" "he didn't interupt you" lol

[SharpeyCol]

Thats great Tv, are you planning to upload more of these after important games, coz Id love it

[iamthewanganator]

Lampard & Gerrard are not true playmakers. Capello plays a grinding, unattractive type of football. England needs to settle down - you will go far. Give the USA more credit for our work-rate and quick-pressing in this game.

[DMcgill2008]

Graeme doesn't know what he is talking about. Getting too excited. What a pillock.

[jocksmen]

THE PADDYS SHOULD HAVE BEN THERE.

[jocksmen]

heskey????????

is capello on drugs.????

[jocksmen]

souness u r soooo right.

hate 2 say it.

[gerry310184]

Guys, LET ME FINISH!

[goodfella86]

Did they not see France Uruguay?

[GerryDisthename]

Far more honest assessment than ITV who were ranting about how great Heskey was when he was shite.
