As much as I don’t like Lalas and hate hearing him speak about soccer, if he said anything bad about England’s football team he was right. They did not “choke” they sucked,they sucked because they were bad. I wouldn’t have Terry on any team of mine save 5 a side, Lampard either. Don’t get me started on England. Lalas is a cynic and he wears it like he was once at the top where he never was and was one of the best which he never was. I remember him sitting on the bench during a U.s world cup lose. I’ll be happy to listen to Lalas speak on football the next time The U.s.a. and England meet in the World Cup Finals but till then I’d wish he’d keep it to himself.

This is hilarious. Listening to Alexi “Bozo” Lalas speak you’d think the moron has 28 World Cup titles under his belt. Lalas, the only thing that was cool about your football game was a wannabe dreadlock because it made you look like a hippie stoner from Berkeley, and a horrible acoustic guitar skill. You don’t have that now, so shut the FCUK up.

Funny how he was not as critical of Argentina after they got clobbered by Germany today. I get that England did not shine in the group stage but they put up a much better fight against the Germans and could have made it a very different game at 2-2.

Dove, good call. In my anger and haste I slipped up a few times. Thanks for keeping me on my toes!

Agree that Lalas is useless. However, the English, as you point out, have tons of talent and yet went out with a whimper after squeaking through the group stage. I find it hard to argue that they are such a good team given the results. P.S. It’s Steve McManaman…not Sean. and it’s Jermain Defoe…not Dafoe. How much of a fan are you exactly?

Compare the insightful comments and jovial good nature of McManaman to the dull, condescending, up his own arse coments of Lalas.

They arrogance and conceit of Lalas, who takes hiself is far too seriously is incredible when you think that McManaman played for England Liverpool and Real Madrid and whta has Lalas done is comparison??

Just compare Lalas’ comments and analyses with Klinsmann and Gullit and you’ll see how stupid he really is. He doesn’t deserve to share the same table with a two-time World Player of the Year and a World Cup 5th All Time Scorer. Yes, he may be right on with his views of the English team. But it’s not hard to come up with that. Any football fan can tell you how badly they performed. You can just tell he hates England. After the Spain Portugal match, he pointed out how some of the favorites like Argentina, Netherlands, and Spain are hitting their stride and starting to show their true form, unlike England…What’s the point of bringing that up? They were already eliminated two days prior to that match…he’s so bitter. Maybe he’s jealous that he never made it in the EPL.

I guess I should be glad that I’ve been watching the World Cup on Univision.

alexi just sucks ballz, flat out. can’t stand him. espn needs to find people who know the sport and can articulate it to the common fan, that’s it. lalas just comes off like an asshole. it’s not good to have him on the biggest sports station in the world talking and acting the way he does.
