Cronky Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Who'll partner Terry in defence for England with Rio out? King? It seems nailed on. I can't believe our luck. Normally we lack creativity in attack but have a strong defence, particularly the keeper and CBs. Now that we've got the best attacking unit in my memory, the defence is looking dodgy.

Peppe Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Alright! I think King will do well (He bloody has to, hes in my World Cup 11 ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Alright! I think King will do well (He bloody has to, hes in my World Cup 11 ) I just wish he'd look a bit more confident when he's being interviewed. Perhaps he's a quiet character who doesn't like the limelight, but he does seem nervous. He's barely played any international football over the last few years, and there's not been a lot of pressure of expectation on him at club level. I just hope he handles it okay.

Disco Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Eugh, no need for afternoon games to be kicking off at 3 when they could easily kick off at 5. Fucking stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKSC Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'll be watching all the weekday 3pm games about an hour behind as I have to get the kids from school at 3.30, so I'll V+ the games and watch as live from 4pm. The kids will have to wait for their dinner. Obviously the England game on Weds 23rd will be the exception to this rule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGSC Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Tim Cahill might be out as well, neck problem Oh good lord. I don't think it's 100% though, but he seemed to been caught by some neck problems during their game against USA. Have only participated in one training since then and have complained about neck pains. They are dropping like flies though, crazy really. Wouldn't be surprised if there is some South African housewife with voodoo dolls having fun tbh Just read an article saying he is a doubt for the opener against Germany which sucks, but it doesnt seem too serious. He is so crucial to us it isnt even funny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely confident. Their defence is f***ing shocking.

Guest BooBoo Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I think they're a reasonably competent team and given that England are slow starters and going into a tournament with few big guns in anything resembling form, indicators to me suggest a low scoring draw.

SEMTEX Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I agree we'll start slowly, but I still thing we'll walk away with a 3-1 or 2-1 victory. In a very similar manner to the Mexico friendly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I think we'll come absolutely flying out the traps and win 3-0. Quarters is my bet for how far we'll get though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKSC Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'm fairly confident we'll win all three group games without too much fuss, probably without letting in more than 2 goals. It's the knock-out stages I'm worried about, with the pressure on I can see us clamming up against anyone half decent and ballsing it up. Quarter's at least, semi's at best.
