Better than zero pace, zero end product that you get from Milner on the wing. "Burrrtt, he workss haardd!!!" Milner in the middle at all times, not as a wide man.

Something tells me this team will lack width...

That's ridiculous tbh. How? Because he cares about his country as much as his club? Aye, what a cunt. Gotta say for me it wouldn't be as bad, but I'm still pretty nervous.

No, we'd go through as 2nd rather than top. It would finish: USA 5 England 5 Slovenia 4 Algeria 1 Right now USA is only ahead of England on goals scored. England could easily finish as group winners since GD with USA is even. Yeah man I know, but Taylor_J was unsure of the outcome if USA got a 'better' win than us - as in he thought we'd go out altogether.

There was only one Germany that time. Pretty sure they were still West Germany then. They were. Just checked it. They were indeed, didn't know that. Strange but true. Not that strange given that German reunification didn't formally take place until October 3rd 1990. I think the wall falling in '89 could be where his confusion lies.

This game is gonna be f***ing hell. Hope I'm not crossing off England from my sig tomorrow

Anybody else watching the game on BBC3 realise how utterly biased Mark Bright and Garth Crooks were? Crooks in particular looked like he was about to burst into tears in the studio Now I know they're both of African parentage but come on, show a little more dignity man.

I literally laughed hysterically for a good 10 seconds afterwards. Incredible

Oldtype must be a mess of nerves after that.

I disagree. Greece are pricks, I hope nothing but bad fortune on them.

Fucking hate Greece. Korea through on goals scored if it stays like this?

:fwap: To think Milito and Aguero are their backup strike force aswell

Aslong as Argentina win you only need a draw right? Worst thing that could happen is if Korea go into the game looking for the draw. I just realised Kanu's playing

Milner has never, ever been effective (or even convincing) out wide imo. When he was here I was desperate for him to get games in the center and I'm sure there were lots of people who agreed. Now he's gone on to prove that's his best position. I agree though, surely Joe Cole is a more natural (aswell as more experienced and more talented) option out wide.

Man, no Joe Cole though, is he ever gonna get his chance.

Positive: Defoe in for Heskey. Negatives: Gerrard out wide again, Milner playing, no Joe Cole. Bet that's a crock of shit.

Karma for cheating like f*** 8 years ago. Aye them dastardly Koreans, they must have asked the ref and FIFA to make them decisions.

BBC going with the big side (who are likely to rest their players) on their HD channel rather than the game that is more likely to be decisive. I'd much rather watch South Korea - Nigeria tbh.

That's fucking disgraceful from Domenech. What a cunt.

I'd rather Lampard on the right but yeh this basically. Those 3 behind Rooney lots of movement and cutting inside. I think I agree with this. Lennon coming on as a sub maye be more useful than him starting aswell.

I can guarentee that will NOT finish goalless. I'm putting that down now.
