"What is it with any England sports team or individuals? We always bottle it! England vs Nederlands lost England u21’s bottled it England cricket team one day World Cup Sri Lanka,Pakistan and Australia bottled it.., Spineless and awestruck in pressure situations, they have the skill set, yet they panic and bottle it!!" Wow. Please don't take a job as an 'England' cheerleader. 
Negative in . . . Negative out . . . and breathe . . .
Tonight is the night for the English Women's Football Team . . .

It's just over rated, put on too high a platform that kind of thing. As already mentioned. However, I am always jealous of the euphoria that follows any England team. You should all join in and enjoy it while it lasts. I'll be supporting the ladies tonight as they arnt playing Wales. I support all the home nations with the same amount of passion but I do prefer them over England (mens football). Best of luck to OUR cricketers as well tomorrow | |||

"Climate makes a big difference too. We are in a cool, oxygen rich environment close to sea level. We go abroad our bodies don’t run as efficiently, foreign sporting figures come here and their bodies have much more oxygen than they’ve been conditioned with and in a far cooler less humid environment so naturally they’re going to perform at a much more efficient level. Isn’t always as black and white as you’d think" How have so many UK based foreigners won so many major football tournaments? I think of the French when they were winning Euros and World Cups. Perhaps when you break it down there wasn't that many here? I think the foreigners make our league what it is and push a lot of UK based players out at a young age. That's why England keep failing I think, or at least since 2000. | |||

Our weather is cold even on many summer days . . . maybe kids just don't want to get out there in the free air and play outdoor games as much as our foreign counterparts . . . fitness and skill comes more more finely tuned if gathered over a long period of time . . . food for thought | |||

I think the big clubs are learning the lessons though and FFP is forcing them into changing their ways. Btw, it's normally Sky that claim it's the best league in the world, not 'we'. I'm not sure that's true but it's definitely one if the most exciting. The English Championship is something like the 5th biggest league in Europe, amazing really. | |||

I’m guessing that the age to be on fab is 18 so even the young ones probably would have some insight when grass roots, golf clubs weren’t on the decline and as for the elder ones like myself remember it before any decline and out door sports were everything to a lot of people ,, yes sport participation is on a decline but the people it’s effecting are to young to be on fab. I still feel most comments are based on experience of at least some sort | |||

They probably all own sky as well though. The Championship is the best I think given its unpredictable and how it ends with play offs. Plus the derbies you get through the season | |||

It was also around the time they were fielding teams with no home grown talent. Was around the same time of England being unsuccessful. Yes of course it's not just down to that but do you get my point? If you have a good English 20 year old but an even better 25 year old French player bought into the club, the English kid will have to play U21s and reserves. Whereas the french player plays, wins then wins a major trophy for his country. 5 years later we say home grown players art good enough. To counter my point, I remember when you had to have two home grown or maximum of two over seas players before The Bosman came in. Guess what? England didn't win anything then either. It's obviously a number of factors but I think to correct the problem you start at grass roots. England have invested massively so it should only be a matter of time. | |||

Sorry but I had to google but arsenal had 4 English players in that team ( dic move I know sorry lol ) Either way let’s hope they bottle it tonight | |||

That's just one of the reasons imo why England haven't won anything and yet we claim it's the best league in the world. British based teams have the most money so buy the best players from where ever. It dosent stop the best British talent playing, they just play at a lower level only people it could effect is the say average players, if your in the top 50 players for a country you still are regardless of the level you play Arsenal were the best for a short space of time when they were 'The Unbeatables'. It was also around the time they were fielding teams with no home grown talent. Was around the same time of England being unsuccessful. Yes of course it's not just down to that but do you get my point? If you have a good English 20 year old but an even better 25 year old French player bought into the club, the English kid will have to play U21s and reserves. Whereas the french player plays, wins then wins a major trophy for his country. 5 years later we say home grown players art good enough. To counter my point, I remember when you had to have two home grown or maximum of two over seas players before The Bosman came in. Guess what? England didn't win anything then either. It's obviously a number of factors but I think to correct the problem you start at grass roots. England have invested massively so it should only be a matter of time. ... Liverpool won the FA CUP IN 1986 ..YES ..1986...and there wasn't one English player in the starting 11. Mark Lawrenson was born in Preston to English parents, sounds pretty English to me. Good spot, maybe he identified as Irish ?? " He played for Ireland in the days of having a Guiness stain on your shirt qualified you as being Irish. His grandad was Irish. Class footballer though. | |||

I hope they do win a WC again for my relatives sake and Yeah I will support England providing they ain't playing us. When Wales qualified for the Euros The Bbc would have the pundits talking about England's next big game during the half time chat of the Wales game. It was disgusting to be honest, that was on BBC 1 Wales. It's as if 'it's coming home' has some kind of curse attached to it. | |||

Can you define 'Bottling' please?
Can you explain how England bottled it last night?
Other previous examples would be a great help Thank you"Ok well on a google search one definition is as follows “ when a person loses because of nerves, often completely losing his/her ability. English media dosent help always portraying them as potential world beaters when in retrospect they are just another team, this creates national hysteria and the expectance of winning “ it’s coming home as an example “ lol Also over confidence in English players due to them thinking they are better than they are. Example 1: last night a perfect opportunity with a late penalty and was completely bottled due to the pressure, no shame in losing but it was bottled and the penalty showed that Example 2: the it’s coming home tournament, semi final and never a better chance against an ok team but again media and inflated player egos cost them the game they expected to win and a game they should of won ,, bottled it Example 3: home rugby World Cup, the mighty England playing in front of there home crowd against lowly Wales. Due to arrogance, media hype england bottled it and was effectively knocked out. Hey I’m Welsh we know all about losing but the difference is we know who we are and know our limits but england dont | |||

This post was about England bottling it. Did england bottle it ? Yes, yes they did.
No need to go off topic or get upset
Can you define 'Bottling' please?
Can you explain how England bottled it last night?
Other previous examples would be a great help Thank you
Ok well on a google search one definition is as follows “ when a person loses because of nerves, often completely losing his/her ability.
English media dosent help always portraying them as potential world beaters when in retrospect they are just another team, this creates national hysteria and the expectance of winning “ it’s coming home as an example “ lol
Also over confidence in English players due to them thinking they are better than they are.
Example 1: last night a perfect opportunity with a late penalty and was completely bottled due to the pressure, no shame in losing but it was bottled and the penalty showed that
Example 2: the it’s coming home tournament, semi final and never a better chance against an ok team but again media and inflated player egos cost them the game they expected to win and a game they should of won ,, bottled it
Example 3: home rugby World Cup, the mighty England playing in front of there home crowd against lowly Wales. Due to arrogance, media hype england bottled it and was effectively knocked out.
Hey I’m Welsh we know all about losing but the difference is we know who we are and know our limits but england dont"But you can't define 'should have won' it's sentence that is semantically null. You play a game and someone loses and someone wins there is no 'should' about. Nothing is pre-ordained so there can be no 'should'. | |||

( ) When do they play next?
Bunch of losers lol.
Hahaha don’t be upset it’s only a game
Oh I'm far from upset - they did a wonderful job. Ranked 3 in the World, got to the Semi-Final. One of our players scored as many goals as USA's Alex Morgan. Qualified for the Summer Olympics because of this competition, and came ahead of that lot above.
Jumping for joy here. There's a lot to be said for 'what next' not 'oh shit, let's go home and forget about the whole thing co's hey look we're crap co's we didn't win this trophy'.
Might rain tomorrow, best give up and go sit in my wellies and grump my way through what might have been. Instead of wondering how much fun water can be.

"I was really worried as england had the better team but as over hyped they bottled it, and usually if both teams are similar it’s the team who wants it more that wins. I’m not sure why we are still going on about this, it’s not like what I’m saying isn’t true | |||

Hey I’m Welsh we know all about losing but the difference is we know who we are and know our limits but england dont"Okay Thank You. I can see your angle and googles. I don't think last night's penalty was bottled. I just think it was poorly taken. Her Husband got diagnosed with a terminal illness a year ago, she hasn't retired or hidden away from her career. In fact she is still captain. In fact this example to me is the complete opposite of bottling it. If she had bottled it, someone else would of taken it. I don't think your other examples fit the word very well either. I think it's easy to throw a 'bottle' when a team loses a game that they have been over inflated to win. | |||

"Colins says: 'bottle it. phrase [VERB inflects] If you say that someone has bottled it, you mean that they have lost their courage at the last moment and have not done something they intended to do. [British, informal]' She missed the penalty - that's it missed the penalty. Or to put it another way the goalie stopped a penalty being scored. To bottle it would have meant not to have taken it at all." Wow your just proving my point, if my mum has the ability to save a penalty that tells me it was completely fluffed and it was It was so bad the goalie almost dived past and over it , if that’s not losing their courage whilst under pressure I don’t know what is. You watched the game so I don’t understand why you can possibly say different | |||

" England cricket team one day World Cup Sri Lanka,Pakistan and Australia bottled it.., Spineless and awestruck in pressure situations, they have the skill set, yet they panic and bottle it!!" The last two games have had more pressure on because they've HAD to win. They step up their game and what do you know. They win them both. Let's save the 'bottled it' for the time they are out out the tournament. Should that happen. Still confident of at least one World Cup coming to an England team. | |||
