England v Ukraine

So chaps, you got it right with last night's prediction.
How do you see us doing against the co-hosts?

 

Can't see anything other than an England win here.

 

A win for us but the crowds going to be very hostile. Be a bad atmosphere to play in.

 

2 - 1 to us, Rooney to score the winner.

 

we will lose!

were ****

 

Think positive.

 

I'm not convinced yet with the England team, They defend far too deep and allow other teams to constantly press them. Woeful defending at set pieces and I think Young is a waste of a place. He did Jack S.it against Sweden, thankfully Rooney is back and has played out wideish for Man U. and should therefore take his place. Would like Carroll and Welbeck to remain up front.

 

Walcott must start after last nights cameo!!

 

The word cameo just conjures up an image of the band from the 80's and that red cod piece.

 

If you weren't on .must spread' that would be rep.

WORD UP! <red_cod_piece_smiley>

 

Ukraine must win and will be up for this. I'm going for a hard fought draw.

 

If you weren't on .must spread' that would be rep. I bet you say that to everybody.

 

If you weren't on 'must spread' that would be rep.

 

You can take the lad out of Ouston but you can't take Ouston out of the lad.

 

A mixed bag this one.

 

Tough game, very good side Ukraine, particularly at home. We lost last time we played them there in 2010 WC Qualifiers. Both games were tight indicating very little between the sides. We won 2-1 at home, they won 1-0 at their place. The teams make ups are now different of course but I expect it to be tight.

 

Oooohhhh, lose please.

 

Awah wi ye.

 

Going to be quiet on here from 7:45.

 

We'll win a tight game, no shevy for them up front!

Don't think it matters about going through top or second really. If we get through then we are three games from a title, that gives any team a chance (as both Greece and Denmark have shown previously). If we're top we probably have to play Spain, Portugal then Germany; if we're second then we probably have to play Italy, Germany then Spain - really not much difference there. That's all assuming the 'best' teams win each game, so i guess we just try and avoid Spain for now and hope other teams do us a favour, but all-in-all i don't see much difference between top or second (which is a total 180 degree turn around in my view after the Sweden game to be honest).
