England need to...

The chances of winning are 50:50 at best I reckon... It's weird how they all came alive when Rooney went on against T&T; so maybe he's the key?

Other stuff I reckon they need to do;

Keep possession for longer; play it tight; stop lobbing the ball 100m down the field so much.

Do the 4-4-2 (er... 4 at the front); If England focus more on attacking they will hit the target more.

Stop getting defensive once they've got a goal in; wait until you've got 2 ahead, then go defensive.

Don't overstretch Rooney just yet; keep deploying him in the 2nd half; once we're out of the group stages increase the amount of time he's on the pitch.

Get Theo Walcott out there; let's see what he can do; put him on in the 2nd half for the next match (if we're not losing)- Then; if he scores make more use of him; he's a hungry player and hungry players score goals.

oh... and pray!

What do you think England need to do if they are to have a chance of winning?

I'm available now for a few weeks and I'm cheap; £100,000 would do!

Oh no it isn't...

J.A.K.; Oh yes it is...

Repeat ad nauseum...

Anyone else got ideas on what England need to do; sensible, silly or otherwise (rather than obnoxious)...

...relax a bit... Lots of pressure on them, almost as if they are trying to hard... Hopefully having qualified, they'll be able to put in a solid and creative performance against Sweden... I'm not overly pessimistic at the moment - no team has really shone and we've done enough so far... I think we can step our game up against Sweden and whoever we get in the first knockout round...

The balance of the team is all wrong. they rely too much on long passes up to Crouch.

Owen is not match fit and definitely is not sharp enough to play in a world cup.

Taking just 4 strikers - one of whom has never played in the premiership and 2 others who's fitness is questionable is an incredibly bad decision by Eriksonn.

They need a ball winning/holding midfielder to supply lampard and gerrard. and if that means dropping beckham then so be it...

Play 7 teams they have a chance against. American Samoa Turks & Caicos Guam Montserrat Aruba Djibouti Anguilla. So thats the 2050 World Cup sorted then if they don't get knocked out in qualifying by Andorra!
