Ramsey is hurt
Bad tackle by sheringham

I'd say this is because this match is taking place is a town with no major football club (4th division...)...
...but I also need to concede that support for our national team has been incredibly low for a few years. It was at an all-time popularity before 2002 and has been lowering steadily. Domenech's era was a catastrophe despite the WC final and 2010 was the last straw.
Also, this

He's a nothing though, famous for being Robbies mate
Gourcuff and Menez out...
Gourcuff has been showing interesting things and is in better shape that you'd think for a guy who's been off the field for so long, but it's definitely not enough.
Menez has been kinda disappointing tonight. Not exactly a surprise, but his showings with the PSG were better.
Holy shit Evra where art thou.

Yeah, that's terrible. Our public doesn't like not care for the national team anymore except when they need to boo them. Fucking disgrace.

If Seedorf tried then this wouldn't even be close
We don't like our players.

Well I assume they deserve it, losing to Iceland and all...
Shameful
Iceland have good players though.
Yeah he's pissing all over everybody but is playing the easy ball to let the celebs score.

Other than a few players here and there it's mostly players from Scandinavian bottom league teams. The teams central defense usually consists of Copenhagens and man... Both are kind of shit, even for the danish league, let alone at international level. Sølvi Ottesen is even their captain, it takes 5 full seconds for him to turn around. :lol
He's pretty cool though despite being so painfully slow.
But eh, if the fans who in the end pays for the players are unhappy, it's more than fine to boo at your own team, especially if they look like they aren't giving a fuck.

Iceland also has Yohanna.

Don't even know who she is. But the girls up there sure are pretty, went there last year. Also you feel like a boss paying 500 moneys for a piece of cake.

Great shot from Crespo! I was there the night he paraded at Stamford Bridge as our latest signing, he'll always be a favourite

Robbie can stay. But yeah, nobody even knows who Johnathan Wilkes is. Ben Shepherd can go, too.
Kagawa Interview:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eskgFPZ7VN0&feature=youtu.be
Rough translation by someone on another forum:
First he talks about the possible United transfer. Kagawa says he hasn't decided where he's going to go, so he can't make any comments about it. Then the interviewer asks Kagawa a lot about his talk with Ferguson. He says that Ferguson said it would be a big challenge, and he wants to believe in him. Said he felt honored/happy to be praised like that. It goes on for a long time.
Then the interviewer asks about Arsenal and Kagawa says "Oh yeah, about that... Let's talk about the Euros"
He says he doesn't speak English, but he really wants to study/learn it.
He says that he thinks Germany will win the Euros (because Puyol is in bad shape and Torres isn't good), but he says that unlike the Japanese NT, the German national players don't get along so well because of the divide between Bayern and Dortmund players. He says his hope is that second place will be Spain and third will be Poland.
He says Poland will succeed because of the three Polish Dortmund players. Lewandowski is "everywhere, all the time" and "will do it for the team by himself."
His favorite teammate is Hummels. He says hes the best CB in Europe, his passing is super good and his face is totally hot.
And Ribery is very scary and apparently talks a bit of shit. He doesn't fear Robben, even though he's fast and skillful, he always does the same cut in from the right so he's predictable, so he and a FB make sure to pull into the region that he always cuts into from the wing. Ribery, though, if he has the ball, you don't know what to expect since he can do so much.
