Guest Alex C Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 For anyone not aware, if both games are draws it's down to the amount of goals in said draw So of England draw 2-2 and USA draw 1-1 then we go through and vice versa. If both games have the same draw result then it's down to lots like a cup draw, fuck that Link to comment
Guest Alex C Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 England starting 11 James, Johnson, A. Cole, Terry, Upson, Milner, Gerrard, Barry, Lampard, Rooney, Defoe. Thank God the changes are there Link to comment
Guest Rambo Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Not what i'd have done personally but if we get our sheznay we can crack this Sneffle before you can say pentagod. Link to comment
Guest Alex C Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 He's never going to play Joe after what JT cane out with (which was right) Defoe needs to step up Link to comment

Guest Conor74 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 seriously, go take your bagpipes and your onions and go and obsess over us on an Irish forum for Irish people (who i hate *shakes fist*) Is this not a forum for, amongst others, Richard David James from Ireland, Scotland's finest Boards of Canada etc.? Neil Morrissey sings one terrible cover of a Tight Fit song, and England thinks they own the world of music...too... Link to comment

If both games have the same draw result then it's down to lots like a cup draw, fuck that No, I think England needs to win to be sure to advance, regardless of how the other game goes. If there is a 2-2 draw with Slovenia and the US game ends 1-1, then USA advances due to scoring more goals. If both the US and England games end in a draw, England needs to have scored 3 more goals than the US to advance without a lot. Link to comment

Guest inteeliguntdesign Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 if usa go through i'll be happy. what's that? one of the world's best manager? arguably the world's best striker? best league in the world? hi ho, engerland! hmm! Link to comment
Guest Dirty Protest Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Barrys got a lot of work to do, but if he plays well England will be fine. I wonder if Joe Coles pissed off with Terry, after talking him out of a starting place. Link to comment
Guest Mirezzi Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Upson. lol... No Joe Cole doesn't surprise me. This is the same sort of tentative, deferential starting 11 I'd expect from England. I think they're in trouble. Slovenia are great through the midfield and they have a very good goalkeeper. You guys better cross your fingers that Milner just had food poisoning against the U.S. Still, I can't imagine he's match fit. Garreth Barry shouldn't even be in South Africa. Just...bleh.

Barry is in the team to allow Johnson and Cole to get forward, giving more attcking options. There will probably be points in this game when England will have 3 up front. Unless im looking at a different team sheet from you. Link to comment

Unless im looking at a different team sheet from you. No, the same. I am not surprised by the lineup, to be honest. Milner instead of Joe Cole doesn't hurt my feelings. I like Milner a lot more than most and I think he has more to his game than J. Cole. What else could we expect? Put Gerrard in the middle and play Milner out on the right? Has anything good *ever* happened with Gerrard and Lampard in the middle? I'm so fucking tired of Lampard. Not only does he suck, but he creates this dilemma with Gerrard. I'd put Milner in the middle with Gerrard, stick Fat Frank on the the bench with a cozy set of knee pads, and start Joe Cole on the left and Aaron Lennon on the right. They might concede a goal or two, but then again, they might score a few, too. Link to comment
Guest Dirty Protest Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 As far as I can see theyre not playing with wingers. Slovenia shrink the midfield and England have went like for like. Probably a better way to counter that is to play wide, but SWP and Lennon havent been good enough, so that wasnt an option. Milners there to allow the wing backs protection to exploit the wing. Its quite an attacking formation. Link to comment
