nothing to fear. lets win the group, then see who we get. Germany pose no threat
our Centre backs are outstanding. only the ageing Larsson poses a problem.
happy that Hargreaves is in. lay off him. sad that Gerrard will make way, but we're saving him for the next round.
About time little MO got off the mark. then we'll all be happy.
and Theo will get 20 mins if things are going well.
score prediction: 2 or 3 nil to England.

haha. looks like it dunnit. Rafa just wants a chat with him, to make sure his knobhead days are behind him. no chance. he's Welsh.
good call from sven to rest gerrard and crouch cos of their yellow cards.
hargreaves, lets hope he can change my opinions of him today. would have preferred to see carrick in there.
a goal each from rooney and owen would be nice, and lampard has come close in the first two games.
im going for 3-1 to england. (rooney, owen, lampard)
i just want mickey love to score a goal and shut all the fucking boring tabloid bastards up.
that and england to Win
Sir Bobby Charlton is staying at my mates hotel today so think i'll go see if i can get a photo with him and autograph.....funny thought he would've been in germany cheering on the boys.
Germany pose no threat? Confident bunch, aren't you?Do any of you lot ever predict England to win by less than 2 goals? Must be the great weather that makes you so cheerful.
Anyway, Ibrahimivic is out, so that should help the differential. I'll go with England 2-1, and hopefully Beckham will have a hand in both goals, as he's on my fantasy team.

He's your shade of red apparently...

Just curious that's all

"A huge television screen which was due to show England's World Cup game against Sweden has blown over.
Witnesses said the 20ft by 33ft high definition digital screen at the Fan Park at Millennium Point in Birmingham rocked backwards and forwards before finally collapsing shortly after 2.30pm.
The screen - described as one of the largest in Europe - comprises a mosaic of smaller television sets within a steel frame and stands more than a yard off theground.
The screen itself is thought to be intact and no one is believed to have been injured in the incident."

An evil omen, per'aps?
I'm watching the game as we speak, good news for you, English lads, ROOOOONNNNNEEEYYY's back!
Awesome cross to Gerrard. To bad Engerland blew it. So much for all these 3-0 predictions I've seen here. At least they win the group and get to avoid the hosts.
As long as we don't concede another corner in the whole competition we should go all the way then?
DOH!
not impressed at all. On another day we would have been beat. It's not coming home, from what i can see right now.

I understand that Ecuador are currently practising long bouncing throws to the box (they've already done near post corners).
From a reasonably un-biased viewpoint, a draw was a fair result between two evenly matched teams. In my opinion, neither squad is equipped to go much further.

about spot on that...
with neville and owen gone, the squad is now alarmingly weak.
what was that whopper Sven thinking bringing Theo Walcott? Where was the sense in that? he's scared to play him. maybe he's deluded himself into thinking that Theo will score the winner in the final, and everyone will say Well Done Sven, inspired move, here's your knighthood,
(now fuck off back to Sweden, you overpaid turnip.

Don't knock Theo until you've seen him play. He'll be no worse than any other player there. And let us be honest, it's not going to be hard for him to prove himself among that lot is it?
not blaming Theo at all. hope he gets on and skins them.
just blaming Sven for this carry on.
what does Sven do?
Don't think he's knocking Walcott himself, more the descision to bring him. Having found ourselves now with precisely two experienced strikers (one half-fit, one a bit rubbish) the logic in bringing such a young untried player seems a bit flawed.
I bet Jermaine Defoe is well gutted... It was madness to take only 4 strikers, even with goals coming from midfield... David James as an emergency striker anyone?

Obviously he don't care as he's leaving after the WC. It seems to me, looking at a few players in the squad, that he just thought bollocks to it- lets have a game of subbuteo!

It chokes me to say it but yep, Defoe should have made it.
Although he'd have been a weak link too, but a proven one!

Or big Dean Ashton... Just think whoever it was they needed (at least) one more striker... Agree that Sven just seems to have thought 'Sod it, I'm off, can't be bothered to spend too long on getting the balance of the squad right' and pissed off for a bit of gentle fondling with his PA or something...

What's the excuse for the rest of the squad though?
Poor performances all round at the moment!
I'm genuinely at a loss as to what is going wrong - I mean there are obvious problems, but solving them... The game last night was weird - plenty of good moments and points, but the overriding sense of something deeply and irrevocably wrong...

It wasnt too bad apart from set peice defending.
You dont dominate teams like Sweden for 90 mins.
We aint that good a team, England would get whalloped by quite a few Prem teams.
Wasnt that obvious?

That is a classic. It should get replayed constantly if England go home early. It will be the answer to the question "what went wrong?"

3-0 to England
It's on the same site. The Muengersdorfer stadium was knocked down and The Rhein-Energie Stadion built in it's place.
The new one opened on March 31 2004 and took about 2 years to build so the old one must have been closed not long after the Robbie / New Order gig.
