Originally posted by Fin I don’t think anyone has over expectations of England. However, they will have done well to get out to of the group. They had as many clear cut chances against France (who could only shoot from distance all day) and deserved the draw, and they have beaten Sweden, who have been a bogey side for us for many years. I fully expect them to go out in the next round as I don’t think we have the defensive quality to hold off a Spain or Germany, as we have seen Chelsea do this season. If Cahill had not been injured we may have had a better chance. |
The fact that the Spain, Italy and Croatia ended up in the same group, similar to the situation in group B (on paper, the Dutch turned out to be everything but a team), clearly illustrates the unfairness of the system where both hosts were dumped in the first strength group. |

Tesco American IPA (aka Brewdog Hardcore)in my hand for no other reason than it was in the fridge and as Ian pointed out was on offer 4 for £6 a Tesco, not sure who that suggests I will be supporting but better get that radio on. |
Btw if Spain - Croatia ends 2-2 it will be a scandal ;) |
Originally posted by Nightfall Yes I was reading today that 2-2, 3-3 or above is a score that the Italians are fearing. |
Originally posted by Fin Same thing happened in 2004 , Sweden - Denmark both qualified with a 2-2, Italy went home. In the crowd during the game there was a banner saying 2-2 ciao Italia :) |
Fuck you Stark, fuck you. |
I want Croatian and Italian wins and put Spain out. England finish second in group D and they play Croatia in next round would be the best scenario for us I think. |
Originally posted by SilkTork Whilst I will admit that Peter Crouch’s incredible/unbelievable goal scoring record for England belies his limited ability, if you don’t see why Rooney is world class and Crouch is not, then I can’t help you. Rooney’s vision, skill, ball control, footballing brain, ability are all above Crouch’s. Yes, Rooney has had disciplinary problems in the past, but do you know how many yellow cards he got for Man Utd in the Premiership last season? No? Go look it up. But then again, as I always say, other opinions are available. |
