I was talking on the phone to a customer yesterday in Sidestrand Near Cromer, Norfolk & he wasn't too enthused concerning England's chances. I tried to make him feel better by mentioning John Terry & Wayne Rooney.

Well, I think our chances restwith people like Lampard, Terry and Gerrard rather than with Rooney. We can do well, but the occaisional mistake or lapse in concentration (a speciality) could cost us dear. As could only taking four strikers, two of wom aren't fully fit.
The first round should be straightforward enough though.

Wer really have got a chance to do well - he mistake in the past few years has been relying too much on Rooney, with no back-up plan. It's been a bit embarrassing at times, to be honest.
When our defense and midfield get it together, we take on a different air. We are very hard to break down then. I'll also be looking out for Ukraine, I like their style of play. But what I enjoym most about these tournaments is seeing all the different styles against each other.

That said though (and I agree, incidentally), this squad does tend to do better when it matters - we just tend to get pipped at the post by someone even better! As I said above, I have confidence in our midfielder to score goals (and even the defenders on set-pieces - wasn't it great for Terry to get his first England goal?) The Belarus game is best forgotten, I think ![]() ![]()

Exactly. And that goal will have given him an extra boost.
Apparantly, paraguay's only star player, Santa Cruz, is injured now, o our opener should be that little bit morwe comfortable.

Looking at the squad I'd say we can rely on:
Paul Robinson John Terry Jamie Carragher Ashley Cole Frank Lampard Stevie Gerrard Joe Cole To me that means we're a defender, a midfielder and two strikers away from a reliable team. If Rooney and Owen were fit then the reliable striker slots could be filled, and if Beckham plays to the best of his abilities then the midfield should be okay, but as far as the right hand side of defence goes, we're buggered. |

Carragher has been impressive lately, hasn't he? I've noticed him a lot more, some good runs forward. I also think Carrick and Bridge might come of age at this tournament.
We need Beckham's free kicks, lets face it. We have a much easier victory when he shines.

Those flags are so stupid. As someone not from england living in england, i just don't get it. We all know you support england, you don't need to have shitty car flags flying from your car. 99.9% of people living here will be supporting england so stop it with the cheap flags. It's the equivalent of having flags that say "oxygen is fantastic" flying from your car ING-GER-LUND!!!!! |

Switzerland are better than people think, largely because they can play a very tight game defensively. Some good individuals.

I am a really really huge fan of Democratic People's Republic of Korea by the way. Good defensive style
