....drat just beat me too it, got to admit the competition is better with England in it, so gonna start something controversial Mo'n ENGLAND.....(Runs away in fear of linching)
I know what your saying a part of me wants them to stay in the competition but I don’t think they deserve to win on out right talent on the field. I was right behind Mexico last night after the lazy effort from France that should not even be there….
Wait we have an Algerian flag :thumbs up: :algeriaflag:
As the song says "Wave your Flag"
Rooooony to score in the 15th but to poor defending Algeria to level on the 76th minute to produce the draw. 1-1:smilewinkgrin:
Poor defending? With Madjid Bougherra playing? Never :hand: :smilewinkgrin: :algeriaflag:Quote:

Shocking referee decision robbed the USA of a win :frown:

I'm not English and I'm ragin been looking forward to this game all week and this was sh1t I mean this was second division in Scotland football...at best. Capello needs to change the formation and listen to his players.
Everyone seemed nervous for some reason Rooney was dire, gerrard too. I think your right prediction draw last game, England go home.
I reckon Mr William Hill will be "laughing all the way to the bank":oops:...with my wager on England to win the cup:thud:
A performance to make you wince...oh dear!:hand:
Pmsl too right. I have a tenner on Argentina and have them in the works sweep.Quote:

I'll bet you a tenner they don't get to the semi's.Quote:

Yes, total joke :argh:. And it was our man Edu that "scored" too :ragin:.Quote:

Bring on Slovenia :sloveniaflag: :smilewinkgrin:.
Could it get any better if Englund got pumped out in the 1st round
Rooney has been dire both games, Gerrard was played out of position for Barry, Heskey was hopeless.Quote:

My team for Wednesday on the basis England need a win
.....................Hart
Johnson, Dawson/Upson, Terry, Cole
Wright-Philips, Barry, Gerrard, Cole
.................Crouch, Defoe
No, he'll be on the phone to the Glazers pleading with them not to sell him to Real Madrid for £80m to help the Glazers debts....you heard it here first! All I'm gonna say is Rooney is not worth £80m!Quote:

The annoying thing is, if England beat Slovenia on Wednesday night, and USA draw with Algeria, then England will top the group :(Quote:

Rooney playing in his Man United role on his own up front, and that way you have Gerrard running on with his finishing too! And if thats not working bring on Crouch and Defoe and play a straight 4-4-2!
I reckon Rooney is doing a great job of covering up an injury, no way he can be that poor, even his ball control is sloppy
Agreed, he doesn't look fit. Having watched him a lot last season he wasn't closing down the way he does at Utd, and it's not like him not to do that unless he isn't fit. Why on earth Joe Cole hasn't played at all I'll never know.Quote:

Since they cheated to get into the competition in the first place i really hope they are even more proud of themselves.
Anelka, wtf, what planet is he on, over inflated ego, over paid, does he not realise it's a team game, eejit.
I certainly have no sympathy for them at all
Well they are getting pumped 2-0 by South Africa and are down to 10 men so it looks like an early flight home for them :clap:.Quote:

Come on Slovenia! :clap: :sloveniaflag:
Oh yes well father in law is round to watch it, come on England!!!!!!:thud:
I'm managing to watch this before i begin my epic work travel
At last they are playing half decent, obviously have a good chance to go through now
Yeah, they're playing much better. Fast, aggressive, playing to win. About time really.Quote:

And a brilliant finish for my other adopted team, USA all the way :lol:
who do England play now? will it be Germany??
Yes if they top the group tonight.
I'd rather play the Germans sooner rather than later.
The team still looked nervous and they can still, and need to raise their game, especially Barry, playing the Germans would do that I think.
