coco Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) Check out Crouch animation 2 minutes in. Teams about to be announced. Looks like Rooney as lone striker and James in for Green. Edited June 18, 2010 by coco
coco Posted June 18, 2010 Author Posted June 18, 2010 James; Johnson, Carragher, Terry, A Cole; Lennon, Lampard, Barry, Gerrard; Heskey, Rooney.
loz Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 No surprises in the line up. Hopefully the fact we are playing Algeria will mean we get away with playing Carragher!
Maksimov Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 I predicted a 2-0 win for England and with the way my predictions have been going today, England will probably draw after totally dominating the match. The Algerians might even get a dodgy penalty or England will get someone sent off.

Excuse me sonny - shouldn't you Finnish sort be thinking about arranging a summer friendly against the likes of Scotland rather than worrying yourself with the World Cup :P
Virosh Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 On goal for Algeria is the only representative of the Bulgarian League on the World Cup. England will not face an easier keeper in the tournament. I can already see it's showing.
Randy36 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Algeria are not in the same league as England. Just look at their qualifying rounds. Without being over-confident it looks to me like a stroll in the park. With Barry deployed as a holding midfielder and Gerrard played more forward and allowed a free attacking role, Capello has plenty of options. I predict a 3-0 win for England.
Maksimov Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Excuse me sonny - shouldn't you Finnish sort be thinking about arranging a summer friendly against the likes of Scotland rather than worrying yourself with the World Cup :P The difference is, we know we're a bit crap and will need a miracle to even qualify, but the English always turn into a nation of Scousers when the World Cup starts. "This is our year! This year we will win it!"
loz Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Based on the opening 17 minutes Finland would probably beat us!
loz Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Capello needs to make another early change here or we are going to lose this and probably go out of the World Cup. Gerrard needs to be brought back into the centre as he is lost on the left hand side and is rarely playing there meaning there is a massive gap. Pull Heskey, put Gerrard behind Rooney and bring on Cole.
Mikstaw Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Dear, England is so weak this match... They have absolutely no ideas to play...
loz Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Pretty close to diabolical first half and sadly with Frank at the top of the 'playing sh*te tree'. Lampard has no place in this team in the second half and should be hooked.
Ruh Buh Juh Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Dismal so far. Get rid of Heskey, bring on Defoe.
Mikstaw Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Pretty close to diabolical first half and sadly with Frank at the top of the 'playing sh*te tree'. Lampard has no place in this team in the second half and should be hooked. Lampard can't find place on the pitch for him... Not good...
SirWadzman Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 All our best moves have come from passing the ball on the floor, not lumping it up to Heskey! I like Heskey's effort, but he's not anywhere NEAR international class. Get Heskey off, put on Joey Cole on the wing and switch Gerrard to the centre to play behind Rooney.
forbzy Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Embarassing first half. Outplayed and outpassed. I agree that Lampard has been useless and he hasn't been alone. Lennon has been terrible too. I'd bring on Joe Cole for sure and probably take Lampard off. Also Defoe for Heskey.

Mikstaw Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Joe would be good move. England playing is very slow... Very, very slow...
loz Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Alternatively make no changes which means we are playing the traditional 'wait till 60 minutes' card. Very surprised Capello has done nothing.
forbzy Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Already looks like more of the same. So much for a half time regroup.
forbzy Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Algeria->pass,pass,pass,pass,shot or dangerous cross England->hoof, lose possession.

loz Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Getting angry now!! Get your f**king act together Fabio and get Lampard and Heskey off this pitch.
Mikstaw Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 No changes?? Dear, game would be pathetic now... :(
Virosh Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) All England's players, without exception, look like they are in shackles. There is no flow, no expression, but there's plenty of frustration and bottled aggression - it's like they are reluctant robots who go grudgingly on. I have no idea what they're afraid of or what worries them, but that's not a World Cup winning team. Edited June 18, 2010 by Virosh
