Three words from me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Shower Of Shit:mad:

we will draw against slovenia too if we play like tonight, wtf is rooney doing??

wiley

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrr, what he NORMALLY does for England? Runs around like a headless chicken, then gets petulant.

Rooney. 25 goals in 60 appearances. 1 goal every 175 mins.
Crouch. 21 goals in 39, most as a sub. 1 goal every 98 mins.

Why is Crouch not starting?

Darren bent, 40 games 25 goals

Emile Heskey, 42 games, 5 goals

Yet Bent isn't there :wonder:

My stats are for England. :thumb:

Could it be because he comes on and scores when the game is over and the hard work is done against the so called lesser teams? could it be that Rooney is a better player? could it be the team scores more when Rooney is playing? could it be Rooney has scored more goals than Crouch both at club and International level? and could it be Crouch has only scored 4 goals away from home at International level.:thumb:

the question should be why is Crouch not starting instead of Heskey? and why didn't Bent get a proper chance when Heskey and Crouch aren't even first choice at club level.

4-5-1 stroke 4-3-3 is the way England should play IMO.

Aaron:thumb:

NZ 1 Italy 0. The Italians are determined to get the great Argyle striker Rory Fallon sent off! Do they see a threat that no-one in the Championship did last season?
In all seriousness though, Cannavaro and Chiellini are like a couple of little girls, do they expect Fallon to jump with his hands in his pockets? Cheating Eye-ties.

4-3-3. Take the pressure off Rooney.

Agree mate.

If Capello agree's like most of the country that Rooney is our best chance of success then he should be doing his best to help him, we should play the formation that Chelsea/Liverpool and United play. 4-5-1 without the ball and 4-3-3 with. Thats keeps all our best players in their best positions, Joe Cole and Lennon out wide with Barry Gerrard and lamps in the middle with Gerrad and Lamps getting forward as much as possible.

I'd have Heskey as waterboy and Crouch as chief lightbulb changer:D

Dont want a love-in here but I agree with all you say. Rooney's problem isnt form, its mental (in my opinion). If he thinks the responsibility is off his shoulders in part, he may lighten up and slot a couple away.
Lennon needs to sit down and have a serious word with himself though, he is in danger of blowing his chance of ever playing for his country again, looking like a big time bottler. Stop cutting inside and do what you do best Aaron, turning defenders inside out and whipping testers in.

Its good to see we arent the only "big" team making a complete cock up of it.

Enjoyed watching the world champions drawing with a team half made up of amateurs.:lol1:

France going on strike :lol1:

We can still win this thing........if Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and N Korea all get knocked out before we meet them!

I think two teams not given a chance who are playing really well are Uraguay and Paraguay. I fancy both of them to upset big European names if they get through.

Italy drawing today was a God send, I love seeing them fcuk up :D

Unless we have a complete turn around and play out of our skins I don't give us much chance against Slovenia and to be honest we don't deserve to go through to the knock out stages.

Brazil were good tonight but think they still have a lot more to give. For me it's the South American teams that are playing miles better than the European teams. So far they are a different class.

What was happening with the ref in that Brazil game. There is a close up of him clearly indicating to Fabiano that it was a handball and yet he allowed the goal.

And then he sends Kaka off for standing on the pitch when someone runs into him and plays up whilst the ref is unsighted.

Totally bizarre - surely he must be dropped from future games.

Have to say that SA v France is the best match of the WC so far. SA are playing superbly.

It's great seeing the French suffer :D

Here Here

Interesting line up... 3 changes from last Friday :thumb:

GK James
RB Johnson
CB Terry
CB Upson
LB A. Cole
RM Milner
DM Barry
LM Lampard
AM Gerrard
ST Rooney
ST Defoe

I'm not fancying our chances agaist the krauts, Oezil looks extremely dangerous in their midfield.

hands up if your cheering Ghana lol

:lol1: *hands up in the air*

England's chancers will be made to look distinctly ordinary by Germany.

And the Germans haven't even played the best they can.
(Backs to the wall, needing 2 goals in 5 minutes stuff)

And England have? :wonder:

They were with their backs against the wall yesterday, so I think they have yes.
If they did not do their best against Slovenia they do not even deserve to be in the next round.

They had 4-5 clear cut chances and ripped Slovenia apart.

The last 10 minutes where bad for the simple reason of nerves. 1 goal against and they were out.

Dont know if you play sport to a level but it happens alot :thumb:

Backs against the wall? Were you watching another game? We will up our game exponentially for the Bosch, mark my words. That has-been Beckenbauer is saying all the right stuff, the idiot. Why doesnt he just go back to polishing his schitzlegruben?

Italy gone!!!!

What a game to see Italy finish bottom :lol1: Slovakia were superb :cool: Paraguay finish top, I still think they are a team to look out for to upset big European teams in the knock out stage along with Uraguay. It's a South American cup this time around, either Argentina or Brazil for me.
