ZiGGA Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Team for today Robinson A.Cole,Rio,Terry,Harvgreaves J.Cole,Gerrard,Carrick,Lampard,Beckham Rooney. Svens a dope. He takes Theo Walcott and now that the Worldcup is here he still hasn't played him or gave him a run out, I'm not saying he should play in this game but Rooney surely aint match fit to play a lone strikers role today, I know he gives 120% but I just don't get Sven at all sometimes. Only thing I am happy about for todays game is the midfield with Carrick involved and giving Gerrard the chance to push up, hopefully that will be enough for us to beat the Ecuadorians Hargreaves right back, bit concerned there. He better not make a ###### up otherwise I'll be giving Sven and him some more abuse, he did well against Sweden but this is right back... I believe Ecuador have a pacey winger so thats why they've taken Carragher out and stuck Hargreaves there. So fingers crossed If we play well and play as a team and not like England over 80's then we should win, but if these tactics don't go to plan then god knows mate. We'll see ay.

+M2Ys4U Subscriber¹ Posted June 25, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 25, 2006 I've got a strong feeling Walcott will come on at rouchly 70/75 mins. I don't think Rooney's up to playing a full 90 on his own. Partnered with another striker? yes, alone? no.

Julius Caro Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Well, Congrats to all argentina, great game, I'm proud of my team, Mexico played well, we scored first and managed the game, too bad 2 injuries made the team very tired @ the end. And what a Goal. We can go with our heads high because we played and almost defeated the best team so far in the WC. BTW, Argentina should have won earlier the referee wrongly invalidated the goal at the end of the time. Yeah, the goal was perfectly legit. And frankly it would have been better for anyone to finish the game at minute 90. Players were too tired in the end. Both teams played very well, I'm proud of my team (argentina) too, and reps for mexico for playing that well. It was the best match so far, and the goal by maxi was AMAZING. I hope argentina can beat germany next friday, they deserve it. I know referees are not as bad as WC2002, but the referee yesterday (the one with the flag) made 2 serious mistakes. You can't rule out a world cup just by bad arbitrary decisions.

Brodel Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I've got a strong feeling Walcott will come on at rouchly 70/75 mins. I don't think Rooney's up to playing a full 90 on his own. Partnered with another striker? yes, alone? no. I hope he does if we haven't scored by then, I'd like to see lennon play too, he was really good for the short time he did play.

Martyn Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 I've got a strong feeling Walcott will come on at rouchly 70/75 mins. I don't think Rooney's up to playing a full 90 on his own. Partnered with another striker? yes, alone? no. I imagine Crouch, Lennon and Downing will be the sub's used to today. He cannot justify leaving out the inform Crouch totally, so I cant see Walcott being used unless we revert to 442.

Orange Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Wow 1ST half.. BORING. England not even playing that good.

Martyn Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 We are lucky that we are not trailing 1-0, Ashley Cole has done brilliant to get back and deflect Torio's shot against the crossbar. It looked painful when Owen Hargreaves got studded. England have shown potential, we just need a bit of luck.

Krpano Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Good job England in the 2nd half. :yes: Yes, just because they move to the next round... Because the football was mediocre (both sides), sry to say this....but its true.

theyarecomingforyou Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Awful play by England. Our team can be really naff at times and this was a prime example of that. We won but it was far from comfortable.

Martyn Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Because the football was mediocre (both sides), sry to say this....but its true. Agreed. England player poorly, but hopefully we will be able to raise our game against the bigger teams. Rooney, Ashley Cole, Carrick and Gerrard player brilliantly, the rest of the team were strangely poor. Lampard was especially dissapointing, he has had about thirty or so shots in this World Cup and he has not scored yet and missed some sitters. People say he bring's goals to the team, but considering he is not scoring many goals, what else is he bringing? I think Portugal will beat Holland, although I would prefer England face Holland in the quarter's, but I hope that will be a good game either way.

mz_ Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 One of the most boring games I've seen so far...

The fact that they have such great players and wont create a single nice movement. It is all resumed to give the ball to Beckham(or goalkeeper) and lauch the ball for 50-60 mts to the attack, corners or free kicks. Imo, its all that coach's fault.... I sincerely dunno why you kept him so long. Anyway, congrats for the qualification. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/46/#findComment-587639733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
