I can see this being the usual far-from-convincing England performance, but will go for 3-1 England (Sturridge brace and maybe a surprise goal from somebody like Walker). Thoughts?
Good luck tonight England, massive game, Leeds massive. Surprisingly attacking line up from Woy, is he trying to prove Arry and Joey wrong? Watch out for Jovetic and you will be fine. Hoping for a big game from Andros.
Kranjcar scored for Croatia tonight, in a 1-2 defeat against the all conquering Belgium. Good news that he is slowly but surely finding form.
Really unlucky, delected goal for Germany against the Republic of Ireland (less Richard Dunne). QPR and England goalkeeper Robert Green at Wembley please log in to view this image "Joe Hart has been ridiculed from every angle, that is what you get as England goalkeeper." "He is a very confident lad, and he has tremendous ability. You would not want anyone else in goal than him." (except me?) Now this Polish lad, playing Ukraine, looks a bit like our Rob? please log in to view this image
zzzzzzzzzzz I'm on the verge of falling asleep, looks like the crowd are too! draw tonight and its second place at best. oooh Gerrard shot woke me up.
Monte look much slicker on the ball England's formation looks all wrong to me ... All forward then stop Just long range efforts Poor
It's all a bit pedestrian, Monte are happy to sit back and could be dangerous on the break. Rooney's just missed a sitter from Townsend's good run...
that's why Rooney is not a world class player, can't even hit the target from three yards out and the ball wasn't even bobbling, shocking miss.
At the same time as this game, I'm also watching Roller's Rodney Marsh birthday video, actually a bit more exciting seeing him destroy Birmingham 5-2 at Loftus Road Oct 17th, 1970 (Division 2) - we could use his goal scoring, playmaking abilities to help us out here. Funny enough it was the same time of year back on Sat Oct 15th 1966 (Division 3)when I saw Rodney weave his magic for the very first time at Bournemouth (& Boscombe back then), R's winning 3-1. I guess Rodney liked to celebrate with a few goals around his birthday.
I wondered what had happened to the useless Sturridge, he'd been replaced by a replicant a Liverpool, but we've found the original again
You can still get good odds on this ending in a draw. Woy has gone and put to many forwards on thinking it will be enough. I'm with DT so far, England formation doesn't seem right, very unbalanced imo.
I can see us losing this, we're clueless in terms of breaking them down and the players seem a bit uptight, the weight of expectation is stunting their game. All it takes is one sharp counter when we push up too much and we're f*cked...
We've seen a few flat matches like this so far this season. The usual result is 1 - 0 with a penalty.
