Meh, we let ya have one every 40 years. :mrgreen:
Twas a nice kick. ;)
-
twas worth a shot & it worked - cracking goal
though sweedish keeper wasnt on form at that point in time - like the commentator said you ought to expect the ball to dip after a volley
-
We have a sports forum for this kind of thing.
Oh, and Pop went his World Cup Dreams! And his knee. Owen is screwed. That looked Nasty. Maybe something dislocated and it can be popped back in to place and hell be fine...
So what if Crouch is booked or Rooney cant last 90 or gets injured. Theo for the win?
Sven will be dancing.

I dont think the keeper expected a shot from so far out. Too bad he wasnt 72". :mrgreen:

Nope! :D :D

Maybe not :D
Sweden were dirty and should have had several more yellow cards
Hate teams that have to do that cause theyre crap.
-
ITV commentator, we are unusually struggling with set pieces.
Rubbish, those are consistently what we have trouble with. With the defenders we have, why can we not defend well? We get the lead only to throw it away.
Sweden should have won that from the corners they had.
Ashley Cole, WHY DID YOU RUN AWAY FROM THE BALL? If you had taken one step away from the goal he would have intercepted the ball instead he runs for the goal line and Sweden scored their second.

Take it like a man. :mrgreen:
Sweden had three attempts off the bar that you should count as lucky misses. ;)
Sweden scored because they were hungry, and Englands defense screwed up big time. A card here or there wouldnt have made a difference.

Ill concede that England has better strikers, but the Swedes are dangerous set kickers. I groaned muchly today. :lol:
Makes it interesting. :thumbup:

Take what?? pointing out somat that is true
What ever happens on the field fouling aint part of play.
And coming close aint good enough, we were sh*t and probably more so than the other two matches. Still couldnt beat us
Sven made some sh*t discisions and a sooner hes gone the better.
Why crouch even got to go to germany is way beyond me
-
Will people start to get realistic?
2-2 after leading twice against a piss poor swedish side... Argentina or Holland or Spain would masacre the Swedes, we were literally soiling ourselves against them...
Poor.

your wrong. Sweden did well, just we were worse. First goal of ours would beat nmost. second goal was probably one of the few mistakes they made.
-
No, Badabing has it spot on. We will not beat Argentina, Holland, Spain, Germany or Brazil playing and defending like that.
Yes we scored good goals, but if we cant defend our lead we cannot win.
-

He never even mentioned that

OK, he says they would massacre Sweden. We cant beat Sweden. 1+1 = 2.

8) watched some from work :( but saw all goals coles first was nice, The goal bars saved england from a loss. Sweden played well in the second half and put on a lot of pressure in the last part.
Next Germany, we will be lucky if we play even aginst them..

Sven has proved once and for all that he is a complete and utter, unadulterated TOOL.
When Owen dropped like a sack of sh*t to the floor at the start he shouldve, there and then, put on Walcot. No faffing, no fannying. Walcot is there as the 4th striker, so he shouldve used him. Instead though, Sven the knob, brings on Crouch (w/ 1 Yellow card). Crouch didnt start because of his yellow card, but 1ish mins later thats no longer a problem. If Crouch hadve been booked, hed have missed the next game and wed have been royally f**ked for the next round.
It was obvious that Rooney wasnt going to last the 90 and so that was another obvious chance to let the youngun have a runout...but again Sven the Pleb decides to risk our advancement in the later stages by fielding Gerrard (w/ 1 Yellow card). At this point I started yelling at the TV, I am expecting an evicition notice for agressive behavour to follow ;)
Im quite willing to eat my words as Gerrard scored but tbh, Id have rather seen our 4th striker get a runout and not risk our key players who had yellow cards.
Still, we still looked sh*te so god knows what the hell is going to happen from now on.

what?
we score spectacular goals, so we should win? how does that work?
were not technically good enough to score a goal then keep the ball - this is what international football is all about - getting a goal, keeping the ball and hitting on the counter attack. and weve lost Michael Owen - so crouch plus Walcott are our only true strikers... its looking ominous.
we could score a goal like coles against argentina, but could we defend against Saviola, Crespo et al? i dont think so...

Will you two just get a room and work out your frustrations ;)

Sven didnt want to win. He made no descision to prove he did.
-
He wanted to win, bringing on two proven goal scorers as opposed to resting them and playing an unknown formula proves that he wanted the win.
That and the fact that in the post-match he pretty much admitted that winning the group was very important.

What are you going on about ?????
Argentina or Holland or Spain would masacre the swedes
i dont think so. FFS

It seems hes also regretting bring Theo Walcott if he isnt prepared to play him. Great!

bring on crouch a winning discision.
Its just keeping in with his 4-4-2 formula
while im in a ranting mood, lampard should just go home
hes way of form.
j Cole was on good form mind

Well its not like we are going to be able to slate him for long TBH
Fu*ers off home after this tournament. Thank god

brummie, you dont seem to be able to grasp flowing prose, so ill make it easy for you, get a piece of card, put it under the text and follow it with your finger...
1) We can score quality goals, as shown with Joe Coles effort.
2) We cant then lock down the midfield, by keeping the ball, after we score.
When 2) happens, the opposition [we will play] can break forward and make inroads - possibly scoring. You see, Saviola, Ronaldo, Crespo, Torres only need half a chance to score...
Geddit? I hope so.

Cole was brilliant as was Allback for the Swedes.
Exciting match at any rate, good verve and drive and little time spent diddling in midfield.

Now now badabrummbing, England won the group and has a game they can win next sweden came second and has to face germany.
-
lmfao, Im willing to bet that the German Police are pleased that the football supporting members of tekforums decided to stay in their respective countries and not meet up in Germany !
There is more hostility on here than has been reported from the entire tournement so far :o
To get back on topic;
England will seriously have to pull their socks up if they intend to go further than the next match. With the way we are defending, both set pieces and open play, I can see us getting skinned alive by the faster paced players opponents :/
God I hope we start to sort it out, I really want us to get the final this year.
-
As it was billed before the match, we needed a good result and a good performance.
Did we get either?

I think the result we got was good enough. Although I wonder how much wed regret not playing Germany next if we end up facing them in the Final ! If Germany get that far they will, imvho, be unstoppable.
The performance wasnt all bad, there were definate good points but they were heavily outweighed by our distinct lake of ability when it comes to defending. I cannot believe what a shocker Campbell and A. Cole had, especially as a Gooner whod normally be singing their praises all the way to anyone whod listen !
-
I thought Owen Hargreaves had a really good 1st half and a not so good 2nd half. However, I believe we changed our style of play and he struggled with it.

As a tactical game you got both, delaying having to play Germany means putting off whats going to be a hard game, we can take them on later if they are still there. England may not have to play Germany at all if the Germans loose out
As for the performance it was good enough.
-

Yeah he played well in the first half. I was quite surprised as he is one of the squad who I dont think should be there; Ive never been happy with the selection of a Canadian for the English team.
Youre right about him in the second half though, he looked completely lost playing that defence-midfield link up position. Strangely though I think thats the position he plays in for Bayern !
I really want to know what Sven will do about our striking problem. I know that Crouch/Owen is ok, Rooney/owen is good but Crouch/Rooney ? And maybe even Rooney/Gerrard ! The later would be a mistake imo, both players tend to be out-of-the-box shooters. They are not predators like Owen and Crouch.
Come on England, come on England ;) :)

If anyone has anyone doubt that Owens knee is not well and truly FUBAR then they need to watch this slow motion. You can see the knee giving way. That may be career threatening.

England may not have to play Germany at all if the Germans loose out
So, you accept the 1-5 was a fluke then? :twisted: ;) :P
Nah, well done England - fair result. :) Next roundages should be interesting.

if crouch plays again im watching fu**in cricket from then on

Sorry I meant that to look like a 4-4-1-1, not a 4-4-2.
We really need either a link up midfield/forward or 2 attacking midfielders with a single *striker*. imo ;)
Basically Id just stick the *best* 11 I had out on the field and say "right then. you sort it out yourselves as Im off home" :D

Has Lennon ever played on the left? :? Personnaly I thought it worked quite well when we had Lennon on the right and Beckham dropped just behind him against T&T.
For Me...
Cole, Gerrard, Hargreaves/Carrick, Lampard, Beckham/Lennon
We are playing slighty better every match, but we have no chance of winning the tournament on current standards. ROFL at ITV commentating of "We have no other forwards" just before the camera over looks the bench with Theo sitting on it.
I bet Defoe is kicking his TV.
-
England played very well first half and gave sweden hard pressure. Sweden played well second half (often like that
sleeping first half but waking up after one point down).
-
Difference was Sweden wanted it and went for it. England just sat back all the way through. Exactly as the first two games.
