The England Golden Generation was the biggest load of bollocks in international football.
Discuss.
Shabba.
Becks and Cole were the only good ones
>no scholes
the entire thing was fucked from the start
>>66433953
Ashley Cole, yes.
Beckham's performances for England were hit and miss, kinda like Rooney, where he'd under-perform in competition finals despite playing well in friendlies and qualifiers.

>tfw if lampard started in the last world cup England would have had a shot to make the semis
such a waste lads
>>66433822
Redpill me on the H&M guy /sp/
>>66434110
Did you manage to maintain a straight face whilst typing that?
>>66434110
>looks at flag
Ah, makes sense.
>>66434133
Who?
>>66433822
Help me because I'm ignorant of football prior to 2009. How did team line up? I can't make it work in my head. Was it 5-3-2?
>>66434044
hes irish m8
>>66434238
Gerard and Lampard as 8s, Cole and Becks as wings
>>66433822
Good individuals who couldn't play as a team also poor management.
>>66434110
>fat frank
>good
figures an amerilard would say this
Team looks awful.
How bad that must have looked just to avoid 442
Disgusting
You had one chance at winning the WC in the last 15 years, and you let Brazil kek its way to the semis.
Goodnight /sp/
Lampard was better than
>le occasional blooter heart gerrrraaaarrrrddd man
>>66434044
But he always underperformed for England
>>66433822
>That GK
>Golden generation
>>66436133
You're about to have some 16 year old from London complain about he was played out of position (he was, once, and for some reason this is a valid excuse for his career of failure) and how he was the best player ever.
It was golden because there was only two nigs and I think they were only half/half anyway
Reminder that Michael Owen is a Ballon d'Or winner and Becks, Gerrard and Lampard all came in the top 3. Right now we don't even have anyone who could make the top 30.
>>66437687
>implying Kane won't win it one day
>>66437697
Not flashy or pacey enough
the real golden generation was Euro 96 / France 98, those squads were stacked
Still better than New Zealand's cricket golden generation t b h
>>66434044
He rejected England the cunt
>>66433822
Euro 96 squad shits all over that, even Italia 90
>>66437788
>choking to poodia
>>66433822
>numbers from 1 to 11
Nice
>>66433822
Those 11 players are better than the 11 that started for Germany in the WC Final
Terry rio and carragher? Wot?
>didn't qualify for Euro 2008
>people still refer to them as the golden generation
>>66433822
Wait, why were we starting with a 5-4-1?
The 2004 team was unironically the best we will ever have. 6/7 world class players, now we don't even have 1
>>66438191
I was wondering that so did some googling. As far as I can tell this was just a once off in a friendly against Hungary.

Those Beckham crosses though
Reminder that this is the greatest free kick in terms of importance and quality of all time

They were shit

>tfw 26 year old from London who was just about to argue this
>>66438232
I always find it funny watching football from a decade or two ago. It looks so fast and crazy stuff always happens, like a game of Pro Evo or something.
I swear footballers are supposed to be quicker now? Why is everything so boring?
>>66438267

>poop
Football could have come home in 2006 but Stampy Roo had to get all stampy
Only Hart would get into that team from the 2016 squad.
>>66438287
>we will never have 18 year old Rooney and Kane up front
>>66437714
His goal vs Germany was a bit flashy.
>>66433822
>Paul Robinson
>>66438287
>Aaron Lennon
And he's still only 28.
>>66438408
He is god sargon
They were good looking though.
>>66438432
their future
>>66433822
>""""""""Golden"""""""" Generation
Half of them were complete flops and the other half were lazy bums who refused to perform for the NT. Wasn't helped by the fact that the managers were all either betas, retards or both throughout this generation.
>>66438178
Carragher played as a DM that game
>>66438241

Ah yes the classic left wing meme.
Protip; he played left side for 2 of his 8 year England career. The rest of the time he played centre mid and was as underwhelming as Gerrard, Lampard and Beckham.
