BlufPurdi Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 We need a deep lying defence for this game, this will deter James running out unnecessarily and also ensure that the CB's aren't beaten for pace. I'd play James Johnson-Terry-Upson-Cole -Carrick-Barry- Milner-Lampard-Gerrard Rooney WHERE'S JOE COLE? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeToon Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 that "EASY" headline still kinda rankles God, it's pathetically easy to wind up you Yanks. We were supposed to pretend the group was hard? We put in one half-decent performance, one poor performance, and one utterly dismal performance and we still drifted through it without losing a game and only conceding once through a dumb, individual mistake. Oh, please. I'm obviously kidding. Any lingering resentment has been more than made up for by us taking our rightful and wholly deserved place as the best soccer-playing nation in the group. Just don't let it happen again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Beetroot Face Carragher shouldn't be anywhere near the XI. Upson did well enough and will be high on confidence after the match saving tackle late on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Of course they're beatable. They like us, haven't been fantastic. They weren't massively convincing tonight and of course we're defeated by the Serbs. admittedly they did look very good against Australia but the ozzies did make life incredibly easy for them. On paper I still think we've got the better starting 11. However they do seem to keep the ball much much better and the way we played, I think we'd have been lucky to get out of their group. IF we can stifle Ozil, who looks to be their main creative outlet as well as keeping Klose quiet, we may be in luck. Their defence isnt great, and if Rooney can find a bit of form then there's no reason we cant beat them. They'll go into it slight favourites in my eyes, still though, it should be a tight tight game. Lets just hope it doesn't go to pens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Amazingly, I think England WILL win this one. We're confident because this is the weakest Germany for a long time. They're confident because this is a weak England team. But you get the feeling that a giant weight has been lifted of our backs and we have the momentum. So yes, England will win this time!

Gash Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I don't think this is the weakest Germany for a long time, to me they seem stronger than the last World Cup. I really like this Germany team and i fear playing them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Fear? Howay man. It's wrong to trot out the "well this is a weak Germany side" but I'd be anything but fearing them. Keep our heads cool and play like we can (i.e. how we played for decent chunks of today) and we have a fantastic chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I don't think this is the weakest Germany for a long time, to me they seem stronger than the last World Cup. Based on a game against 10 drunks, one of them Craig Moore? You must have seen none of the last WC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I think we're due another win against the Germans.. should be a good game either way. Rooney to score, or get sent off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest n4e Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Not sure if Schweinsteiger is good enough to play the defensive/deep role in midfield in big games, he was pretty poor against Inter and Sneijder got in some good space ahead of him a few times. Think you can easily get at Badstuber aswell, they are not convincing at all. Feeling confident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpal78 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Beetroot Face Carragher shouldn't be anywhere near the XI. Upson did well enough and will be high on confidence after the match saving tackle late on. It's tough choosing between Upson and Carragher. Upson was very nervous in the beginning and looked even slower than Carragher. I reckon many are plumping for Upson after that last ditch tackle (I was so nervous I actually missed it or can't remember). I'd say Carragher just about pips it for me, not that I'm 100% sure.

No, not that game, the fact that they have a team full of exceptional talent, players in the final third (primarily their midfield) that can make things happen. They're better than us no doubt, but we could win with organisation and defensively if we set out right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
