David28 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Germany are beatable. Ghana can play for the draw, beat them on the counter attack. Can't see Ghana getting anything today tbh. If there's no red card for Germany this time - which is a quite big if at this WC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Out of interest Blef, how come you don't support England? Mam's Scottish. Never supported anyone but Scotland as long as I can remember. Do you like to see England do well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Passing much better today. Hope those saying we lack technique are crying into their chips. Milner: MOTM for me. Sadly had to watch the match in a southern boozer. Was like walking into a copy of the Sun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Any word on Rooney's injury? Might go for the most peoples favoured 4-5-1 in the next round regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Really looking forward to Germany-Ghana. I picked Ghana to win the group -- probably more heart than head-- and was convinced that they were the African side to succeed this time out. Unlike seemingly everyone else, I haven't been all that impressed with Germany. The win over Australia for me was down to really poor tactics on the Aussies part. Would really like to see Ghana 1st, Serbia 2nd. I think the US and England can beat anyone coming out of this group. Now watch Germany come out and destroy Ghana.

Exiled in Texas Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 The right results ocurred today. Slovenia did not deserve to go though - they were lucky against Algeria and US . In both games they had the ref essentially give them four points when they only deserved one. Aside from the turgid opener the US also deserved to win this group. So justice is served and I am happy and don't care who the US gets in the next round. Although I think its pretty clear that we need to score at least two more goals than the opposition if we want to win since we've been getting done pretty consistantly by the refs since 2002. The US are the Millwall of world football as far as popularity goes. Whichever of us gets the Germans - we had better win, for Parky's sake. Oh and well done on second place England, I knew you could do it. :fishing Not to mention that US were "Lucky" to have Green in goal for England game, were lucky that US were not down to 10 men in first 30 secs on Slovenia game (nasty elbow), and lucky that referee bought the dive by US to set up "the free kick for the goal that wasn't". Could have been very different. :fishing Don't get me wrong - I'm happy with US performance, but there is some very selective memories in place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC started off saying England were rubbish, then by the 90th minute were saying that every player had put in a 5star performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlufPurdi Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Joe Cole has really been built up to be something he's not from this spell out of the team. Good player undoubtedly, but hasn't created much at all in an England shirt throughout the years, other than the odd friendly here and there. Capello is spot on to drop him imo - looks like he's seen through the reputation, as Cole isn't what he was when he left West Ham/initially joined Chelsea. Couldn't agree more, to be honest. Found the Cole obsession rather bizarre. Although I do agree with Kid Icarus that he was a highlight in the last world cup, but that was 4 years ago. Hardly a reason to be given the benefit of the doubt this time round. And he wasn't actually that good, to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
