Must have been a long leg from Dawson...

haha. Brain fart.
 
Why hasn't Cole scored 9 yet.

England through. As are the US.

Well, it ended as expected, but it certainly didn't get there the way it was expected.

Fucking Landon Donovan too, bleh.
 
We made hard work of that in the last 15mins. Why do they always seem to retreat into their shells and lose composure in such situations? Fucking keep on going till the end and win the game properly.

Still, we're through and that's all that counts. Need to find some more goals in the side if we're to progress though.

I know, it's almost enough to make you cheer for an England loss.

GRIPPING! UNBEARABLE!

Shut the fuck up already.

Why the flying fuck did the crowd go mental when squishy face Cole came on?

and why the fuck didn't Lennon or SWP come to absolute rinse the booked fullback for 30 minutes/ provide a decent outlet

Criminal that we didn't score more today.

That doesn't make any sense.

I do agree that it was criminal we didn't score more but it wasn't for the sake of poor play; we opened them up on numerous occasions and were a two or three goal better team today. The one draw back was Rooney hitting the post - a goal could really have set him up for the next game.

Have to say that I thought Milner drifted out of the game for a while but he was a tremendous outlet on the right hand side of the pitch.

I was hollering at the screen for Capello to do that. Now we're not going through as group winners, it's likely we'll come up against the Argies in the quarter-finals. Just for the sake of one goal. >🙁
 
That was as nerve racking a game as I've ever watched. Our ball retention for the last 25 minutes was fucking appalling, Joe cole in particular was wasteful constantly. If we want to progress we need to keep the ball a lot better than we did.

It's Germany or Ghana yeah Judge?

Hard to say at this point whether runner up is the better result yet but I'd prefer playing Ghana (who lead the group for at least another couple of hours) than Germany at this point.
 
It probably will be one of the two Gs, Wizardry. Not a great deal to choose between them, but if we get past them (and I think we will) I'd certainly have preferred to avoid Argentina in the quarters, which would have been more likely had we topped the group.

Ah well, on we go. And it's a relief to be able to say that.

Id really like it to be the Germans that england get. Then there can be no excuses, if england go through it will be because theyve upped it! Still think the krauts will do ye though!

USA were excellent today. Deserved to go through.
[/quote]

Could not agree more. Genuinely a team to be proud of for the US who are apparently watching in massive numbers. Their performance against Slovenia from 2-0 down was outstanding and should have been a win except for a truly ridiculous refereeing decision.

I'd actually like to see them line up against Italy - I think they'd run the current holders off their feet.


As for the England performance; they were massively better than in the last game and played football rather than simply trying to hit a big guy stationed up front. Worth noting that while Rooney still couldn't get on the score sheet we were all at sea in terms of keeping the ball when he went off.

You surprise me. 😉

The Germany who battered the Aussies would be a tough proposition for anybody, the Germany which stank the place out against Serbia not so much. You always have to take them seriously, but if we can keep today's improvement going I honestly think we'll put them away.
