I would be hugely grateful and would even sport a Neymar avatar when I can
What if I keep dying?
Don't think I could handle the shame.

Can you ride a Rapidash? If so, would you get burnt? If so, how do you heal yourself since the Pokemon Centre is for pokemon only. Burn Heal is for Pokemon only too.
Damn it, I'm going to have to find out now and try it as soon as I catch Rapidash. My character will probably die in a glorious flame, it will be worth it though.
Shame that 'GAF was screwey when it happened. Fucking lol indeed. Can't wait for the excuses. Lol! They conceeded the goal with 10mins to go! Classic England.
Here's the line up from the BBC:

I'll try and get Freewheelin' and my brother roped in on it, since you can apparently do splitscreen+online. If we do it on casual with 3/4 players we should breeze through it (in theory)
Would you mind starting at the halfway point? All of the chapters seem to take the exact same pattern, and the story is drivel anyway
Have you got a headset? Are you up for giving it a go now? I overslept so I'll be up until like 9am probably
My good God! Bunch of fuckwits at the FA, from top to bottom. So long as the EPL is raking it in, the old stooges will not give a fuck.
I want to see the senior team fail to qualify for Brazil next year.
Nooo Zab
FUUUUUCK, didn't even think about it being a spoiler (or sorts). Sorry guys. I should be banned.
Mumei pls.Haha he's lost the plot

So Pearce is the ultimate 'bad youth manager?'
Tactics that don't develop players
Tactics that don't suit players
Tactics that don't beat decent teams
Openly shifts all blame onto the players
Its Roy Hodsgon at Liverpool all over again, except in a position where he has a massive effect on their careers.
Honestly, that should be the end of his management career at any level.

I've already completed them mate!
I can't right now. Ask me when I'm signed in.

It's okay.
You're lucky you aren't a Madrid fan.
Wage is probably next to nothing (maybe 2-3k a week or something) so even if they loan him out for a few years any team taking him can surely afford to pay for him. Can't hurt.
I don't know how he's getting a work permit though.. that doesn't make much sense.
Funnily enough Pearce is also the coach that brought England to its best finish in the under 21 Euros since the early 1980's.
They got to the final of the 2009 competition where they lost 4-0 to a German team which included Neuter, Boeteng, Hummels, Khedira and Ozil.
The England team contained luminaries such as Nedem Onouha, Martin Cranie, Adam Johnson and Lee Cattermole.

Yup, I think we at least are going to get the 4th place this hexagonal. Panama(if they lose against USA) and Jamaica are done.
The real disturbing thing about England's football, from yoot to grown ups, is that there is no understanding of the simple basics of football AT ALL.
No playing style.
No strategy.
No proper formation.
And no coaches and mentors good enough to enforce these. Fucking pathetic.
I think Pearce has a point about the players not performing; Nothing particularly changed from the qualifiers when England were incredibly dominant so the players should definitely take some blame.
That's not to say Pearce did well in his management, but he is not entirely to blame - in much the same way that Hodgson, Capello, Mclaren, etc. were not entirely to blame.

Pearce will be fully blamed, even though he has a point, Hoddle will get the job and the cycle will begin.
Probably because Scholes didn't waste most of his time in tattoo parlours, on PSN and on Xbox Live pissing around on FIFA.

Well, yeah. If Scholes wasn't so ridiculously good as a goal-scoring number 10, I doubt he'd ever have gotten a chance in midfield. Remember, United almost swapped him for Shearer, and he only dropped back when Keane got a long-term injury.
Scholes was fabulously talented. But it must be concerning for England that they still don't have a midfielder that can come anywhere near his skill set. The great white hope for England is Wilshere but you have to wonder if he'll ever actually be able to stay got enough to reach his potential.
And all the while Spain and Germany are pumping out prodigies left, right and centre. Germany and England were in similar positions after Euro 2000 but 13 years German youth development is miles ahead of England's.

How can their conclusion be trusted when Sony doesn't provide sales figures, only shipping ones? Unless its different between consoles and games
American ingenuity!
vs Panama. so what it counts lol
as an outsider it's comical. if i were English i'd be ready to give up the damn game.
this is what blows my mind. these days Germany and Spain have ballers falling out of trees basically. England has to go fanatical about any player that just shows a lick of World Class potential.

The EPL has more foreign players than Spain or Germany, but the difference isn't that large, especially if you don't count players from across the UK and Ireland as foreign. It's a distraction from the real issue, which is their FA, myopic coaches and youth development system, and general lack of unified tactics and playing style.

City's average salary is bigger than Zenit's highest salary. I think they have to take away our oil club license
Agreed. This whole "depleted squad" bollocks is just that. England has a massive talent base to draw from and at the top level they get to play weekly with the worlds best who are imported. That is a positive for development not a negative.
These players can play beautiful football at their clubs. When it comes to the national team(s) then clearly the blame should be on the people running the national teams.
The problem is Hodgson and Pearce's myopia when it comes to selecting who to play. Every English club (and most scottish & welsh) has some English players who they regard as worthy of a call up. Try them instead of the usual suspects. I know my club closely so it is clear to me the likes of Lowton & Westwood are well deserving of a chance, I am sure every club , PL or otherwise, has similar players. All you have to do is look.
Gulp. Are we making a mistake?

"Pearse is shiiiite" and "bloody foreigners everywhere" are two of the smallest problems English youth football faces.
