FFS we are giving Knighthoods to losers, not even beaten finalist losers.
2 words spring to mind.

Seriously, or is this a wind up? If true then it rewards failure.

England did very well at the World Cup, it was good fun but a knighthood (if try, can't see any news about it) isn't right.

Doing a good job yes but Sir is a bit premature surely.

Too many Managers make a fortune for getting sacked,now they get Knighthoods for winning the square root of fuckall.

Too early, he's done well with a young. That silverware still looks on the low side though.

They played absolutely nobody and lost against the first half decent team they played. No they beat Columbia, perhaps you missed that one. Seen England not heat Sweden many times too. Seen England fail to thrash minnows before too They did very well full stop, that's not going overboard. |

You’ve got to be naive to have any faith in the credibility of the honours system. It’s jobs for the boys ( mostly public school) with a few random sports people thrown in.

This government is giving knighthoods out to shit MPs as a bribe to vote with them for something shit. They’re about as prestigious as a like on Facebook now so I’m not going to get my knickers in a twist about anybody else getting one.

Ffs is this a joke? Ok he’s a decent bloke by all accounts and we did better at the WC than expected but come on he’s won nothing. Awards for footballers sportsmen ect do my head in how about knighthoods for real heros who keep charities going and go above and beyond to help others

We also had a very favourable draw to the semis. Bit soon for a Sir.

I'm not a fan of the honours system, and I agree that Gordon deserves a knighthood as much, and in many cases more, as some of those who have been knighted. But I hope that he thinks that being a Freeman of the great City of Stoke on Trent, and the Borough of Newcastle, shows the esteem in which the area rightly holds him, and that actually matters more than a discredited honours system. |

Hard to believe but before the competition there was very little interest in the WC and to everyone's surprise we got to the semi's and played some great football along the way.
Again doing very well in the Nations cup which we have could very well win. England were light years better than rubbish we've been use to for years.
Good on him

Paul Collingwood got one for scoring 17 runs. Perspective and all that.
