England v Poland match thread

I can see this game staying 0-0 for a long time. Boruc pulling off a series of wonder saves until a certain substitute comes on to rescue England.

 

I'd like this scenario, with Boruc getting Man of the Match.

 

If Rooney & Wellbeck can get slight knocks too, that'd top it off. Maybe a crazy sliding save from Boruc clattering them over 'by mistake'.

 

Lambert credited with winner after Boruc mysteriously fumbles the ball over the line, both of them banned for two years for match-fixing.

 

How will we all feel if he keeps a clean sheet? Proud or angry or proud and angry?

 

If we have to go in the play offs who do we play?

 

Slovenia/Iceland, Sweden, France, Turkey/Romania/Hungary

That is, if England is seeded for the draw (it should be, but i'm not sure.)

 

Sweden would be tasty, and France of course.

 

But we'd lose to both of them. No thanks.

 

Zlatan aside, we have a much better squad than Sweden. They only beat us in a friendly.

 

Hope Boruc plays well and keeps England out. Only way I would want England to get a goal would be if Rickie were to score. Other than that, I couldn't care less.

 

True, but Zlatan scored 4 amazing goals that match. Here's a reminder; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq9CoZCJH3I

England has a much better squad, i agree, but Sweden has Zlatan. The most complete center forward there is, unplayable most of the time.

 

The papers are all over Wilshere again. This time for having a pee in a hedge during training.

 

There will be stinging nettles in that spot come spring. You mark my words.

 

I heard someone say there's gonna be a civil war if we don't win!

 

Don't worry...we will polish them off.

 

I'm not sure he's a complete centre forward, as he's a bit slow. Drogba was a complete forward.

 

I would fancy us to beat Sweden to be honest.

In fact I would fancy us to beat France if someone else was manager. Hodgson needs to be brave and pick youthful exuberance, and not always think defence first.

Nobody knew who Muller, Ozil and Khedira were until they we're thrown in and tested at international level, and look at them now. Hodgson just needs to be brave and gamble on young players like Barkley, Townsend, Redmond, Morrison, Shaw etc. and mix it with the experience. If you're good enough your old enough. Through a few of them in the mix, with the spine of our team, and suddenly things look a bit brighter.

 

Lukaku.

 

Steve Claridge on The Monday Night Club is on form this evening regarding representing one's country. Quite entertaining.
