Football World cup

It lacks balance but it should still be good enough to beat Slovenia. Germany though? Not a chance, you won't beat Germany with no width.

Got my England shirt on and my horn out, come on England!

 

[Mauness]

im quite nervous lol, got a lil tingle when we did our anthem.

COME ON ENGLAND:england:

Is iplayer pausing every now and then for anyone else?

It's ok for me, but was doing that the other day.try refreshing

 

[Mauness]

were playing better, looking hungry for the win.

Milner isnt looking too good for me atm, and no service getting to defoe

 

[Corran]

get in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is defoe's first touch of the ball?

great ball into the box, need that more

 

[Mauness]

WOOT

what a goal,

common england 4 more please:england:

 

[Ch3tan]

Come on lads, build on the goal!

 

[Mauness]

Come on lads, build on the goal!

I really hope we dont just sit back now, momentum is on our side lets just push on

 

[Corran]

wel look a completely different team today, good that they not sat back

 

[Turamber]

is defoe's first touch of the ball?

No, he won a tackle but then disappeared until the goal.

Which looked like an own goal to me.

 

[Ezteq]

Got my England shirt on and my horn out, come on England!

...yeah about that, your neighbour just rang and asked me to tell you to put it back in your pants mate, you're scaring the mini full of goats in his front yard!!



btw go england! :england::england:

 

[Corran]

lets hope we pressure that left back, think we can make him buckle and get a 2nd yellow

 

[Corran]

milner beginning to look a bit tired, but playing well down the right...

so close to a 2nd goal, just hope we get it to settle my nerves

 

[Mauness]

i think were looking abit tired, just need a solid 7-10mins of ball keeping

 

[Mauness]

hmm were being more sloppy and there getting too much possestion

 

[Everz]

Get in!

USA just scored also.

 

[MrBic]

was hoping the yanks would go home =/

 

[Mauness]

ahh bugger were gonna play germans next arnt we

 

[Ch3tan]

Usa go through top of the group, lets hope ze germans finish second!

 

[eksdee]

milner was fucking epic, as were the whole back four, gerrard and lampard both looked much better, defoe looked dangerous. overall excellent team performance, really happy other than that it would have been a lot less tense if we had (deservedly!) scored another goal or two before the last 10 mins.

only worry is rooney, showed sparks of his true form, i have the feeling he just needs a goal.

 

[Thorwyn]

It´s not very likely for Germany to finish second I think. If we win and Serbia wins with less than 5 goals difference, we´re first. If we draw and Serbia wins, we´re out. So it´s either first or zilch.

 

[megadave]

shame we didnt top it but woo0oo

if someone finds a gif of terrys diving slow mo header then post it

 

[Mauness]

germany gonna be under alot of pressure tonight, serbia are "likely" to beat australia

 

[Bahumat]

4-2-3-1 or 4-1-2-1-2 are both great formations for us. You say about no width, but that's the point of the full backs. When the RB goes forward, the LB stays back a bit to cover defensive duties if we lose possesion. The RB goes forward and the Right Center Midfielder goes in behind him and provides cover/passing options.

 

[Gwadien]

Tbh, feel for the fans my old mans going, he's getting a flight to Johannesburg, and has to drive to Cape Town, I had to check it out - its like from driving from John o'groates to the channel islands

Using fullbacks as your only width leaves you massively exposed against sides with pace, try it against Portugal and we won't just get beaten we will be hammered. That tactic works against the lesser sides but even Serbia will break us down playing that way, your full backs just end up running back and forth for 60 mins until the pace/heat kill them and suddenly massive gaps open up.

 

[Tuthmes]

Rah. But in all honesty England played a whole lot better.

Barry's still shite though, but Milner (sp?) played ace.


P.s. wtf is going on with FH l8tly its impossible to post normally.

Oh shit that drive is a bastard, the roads aren't too bad but the standard of driving is scary, please pass that along bud and tell him to take it really easy. Better to be on the road for 2 extra hours and safe rather than drive like the locals and risk a bump. I did the Jo'burg to Durban drive a few years ago and that was no fun either, the local blacks drive like madmen and way too many of thier cars are not road worthy. While I was over there the news reported a big smash where an illegal taxi (which had brake discs that should have been replaced 30,000 miles previously had) ploughed into a car that was slowing down for bend. His breaks totally failed and a pile-up ensued.

I don't mean to be a wet fish but honestly, make sure you have a word with him.
