Posted June 6, 200915 yr So, its international time again and I can't wait to see Irelands big match in Sofia-St.Ledger will shine :P But will be keeping a close eye on England aswell as Capello has got ye playing well and surely a win against Kazakhstan will put ye thru to South Africa, it will be interesting to see who Capello will play Probable team?: Green Johnno Lescott JT A.Cole Stevie Me Lamps Barry A.Young Rooney Heskey Wales also playing tomorrow, and they have to beat Azerbaijan to stand a chance of qualifying for South Africa though that looks unlikely anyways ;)
June 6, 200915 yr The pitch for the ENgland game looks like it is going to be a shocker so there is a bit of a risk of players picking up injuries. Like you I expect green to get his first England cap however I expect Upson to play alongside Terry rather than Lescott. I would also be surprised if Walcott doesn't start. My expected team is .......................................Green Johnson.....................Terry..............Upson..........A Cole ..........................................Barry..................... ...................Lampard.................................Gerrard........ Walcott............................................Rooney.................. ............................................Crouch...................... Although it is possible we will play Heskey instead of Crouch.
June 6, 200915 yr England team has been announced Green, Johnson, Terry, Upson, A Cole, Walcott, Barry, Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney, Heskey.
June 6, 200915 yr Author Well done mate, predicted it right Glad to see 3 and possibly 4(Johnno) Chelsea players in the team and only one Scouser, one Manc and one Gooner! Good luck but hope Kazakhstan surprise you:D Come on Borat!:L:L
June 6, 200915 yr England shouldve been one down within 15 seconds :) Johnson found wanting, a perfect example of how he can be a liability
June 6, 200915 yr England team has been announcedGreen, Johnson, Terry, Upson, A Cole, Walcott, Barry, Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney, Heskey. Did you have an old Scottish crone for a granny who gave you the second sight?
June 6, 200915 yr England dismal in the first 15 minutes. Lots of hoofing of the ball, even more misplaced passes and the front two of Rooney and Heskey are standing around like planks of wood up front making no effort to run into space.
June 6, 200915 yr Kazakhstan just had a goal disallowed for offside - good call by the lino but it was tight.
June 6, 200915 yr Khazakstan just scored from a free kick but had it ruled off-side They are looking spritely and the better side so far
June 6, 200915 yr England dismal in the first 15 minutes. Lots of hoofing of the ball, even more misplaced passes and the front two of Rooney and Heskey are standing around like planks of wood up front making no effort to run into space. Its shocking. Johnson is playing so outrageously its almost like he is trying to be bad. Barry is playing like the pitch is a sponge. We will win this though, now way Borat can keep it at this level for 90 mins. Their portly centre forward is amusing.
June 6, 200915 yr England shouldve been one down within 15 seconds :) Johnson found wanting, a perfect example of how he can be a liability And he has carried on having a mare since that point (although to be fair he isn't the only one but he is probably the worst so far)
June 6, 200915 yr Author 2-0 Eng-er-land Barry and Heskey Kazakhstan started the better and Johnnos been hughely disappointing
June 6, 200915 yr WEHEEEEYYYY!!!! was depressed all the way through that half until Heskey scored! Had a £10 bet on tha 1/2 time score to be 2-0!!! Lets hope we get a 5-0 win!!
June 6, 200915 yr Author Well, Johnno lost it again but then won it back before muscling his way through I still think that if he joined us he would be alot better than before EDIT:3-0, Rooney scored, lovely play from Johnno EDIT:4-0, Lamps pen. Well done Lamps, Becks came on for Johnno who has an ankle injury it seems If we were to sign him, hope he won't fail a medical lol Edited June 6, 200915 yr by Carefree
June 6, 200915 yr Good game...we were shaky at the start and watching Glen Johnson makes me feel happy we have Bosingwa. Our Chelsea boys played well...Terry looked quite good, not great though. Ashley's performance just goes to show what a quality player he is for club and country and hopefully people will realise this and stop attacking him all the time. Lampard - he scored the penalty, wasn't in much doubt, he did okay in general. Nobody really stood out today, but a win's a win! It was a good day for me though: bet £10 on the half time score being 2-0 and £5 on the full time score being 4-0 and 5-0. Thought I lost £20 until Heskey scored, but I've walked away from this game with a £67.50 profit!! Cheers England!!!!
June 6, 200915 yr Author 1-1 Ireland Dunne gave us the lead but Bulgaria equalised few minutes after thanks to a mistake from Kilbane, still don't know why he plays We need to win come on Ireland!
June 8, 200915 yr Was Stevie G on the pitch when Lampard took the PK? Hope he was, means Lampard is the go-to PK taker for England, which I feel like he should be. Speaking of PKs, only a year until the inevitable PK defeat to Portugal in SA! (I know Portugal aren't in a good qualifying spot, but still....they'll somehow end up there, disguised as another team, to beat England at penalties) Edited June 8, 200915 yr by ace
June 8, 200915 yr We haven't been done over by Germany on penalties for a while... I feel we're due one ¬___¬
