England VS Croatia

[Immenseman]

I think it deserves its own thread, big game for England and Crotia for that matter. The pre-match dilemmas were Heskey or Defoe - Heskey has won that battle and SWP or Lennon - Lennon is starting.

England side:

Green; Johnson, Upson, Terry, Cole; Lennon, Barry, Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney and Heskey.

Predicted score? I'll give +REP to everyone who gets the final score right just for fun :8

Hm, honestly I wouldn't have put that team up. I honestly think that he should play 1 striker. We have a lot more midfield talent than Striking talent. He could have: Green, Johnson, Upson, Terry, Cole, Wright Phillips, Gerrard, Barry, Lampard, Lennon, Rooney.

Upson I'd also change and put Carragher or Lescott (despite how useless he was in the last game). Is there any reason why Carra isn't playing for England or is he not that highly rated?

Anyway, I'd say... 1-0 England First half.. 3-1 overall :)!

carragher is an idiot and said he hated playing for england and retired from international football. that's why i hate him, he said some horrible things about england >: (

Ahright didn't know about that. What a fool for doing that. He is a good player though. Oh well, Upson is a good player anyway. England have a lot of quality young players on the wings so I don't understand why you'd play Gerrard on a wing, especially the left wing, when he plays best in a central role and you can player other players on the wing that are actually wingers.

[Andeeh]

Ill give england a 2 - 0 win with rooney and stevie g :)

[Cysne]

Nah, Carra's not a good defender, really. He's getting past it now and relys to much on a punt it game without a midfielder like Alonso to come collect. Ah well. In carra we trust and all that.

Upsons better by far.

Defoe should be starting, no question. Heskey's been a donkey since his liverpool days.

[Callum.]

shame defoe isn't starting. he must be wondering what more he needs to do.

england to win 1-0

[Jibbish]

Defoe should be starting, no question. Heskey's been a donkey since his liverpool days.

[Immenseman]

[CHA!NGANG]

Penalty, good move lennon.

[Jibbish]

[CHA!NGANG]

[Callum.]

[Oleh]

its gonna be 4-1 to england, ill have my +rep now please

[Callum.]

its gonna be 4-1 to england, ill have my +rep now please

betting in the middle of a game lol?

[CHA!NGANG]

its gonna be 4-1 to england, ill have my +rep now please

I think saying it a third into the game is cheating a tad :P

I stick to my 3-1 I said earlier :D!

EDIT: Heskey is useless today. Getting in decent positions but finishing is crap, and he's slipped up a few times and also offside a lot lool.

[AlexOC]

Ha, anyone notice the words '****' on that banner

Everythings filtered!

Slang for intercourse, starts with an S, contains the letters H and A, and ends in G

[CHA!NGANG]

England 3 - 0 up!!

Prediction looking good, even though I think it will be 4/5 - 0 now lol.

EDIT:

4 - 0 Up now! loool.

[Jack.Lfc]

4-1 maybe his prediction is right ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[AlexOC]

Eduardo Eduardo!
He has some silky skills!
He used to walk like Heather Mills!

[CHA!NGANG]

Green did well. Stupid fan on the pitch :@! It's a real shame how the English are treating Eduardo. He is a decent guy that made a mistake and is getting rediculously booed but I suppose he knew it would happen.

5 - 1 Up. Stupid mistake lool.

[AlexOC]

Eduardo

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[AlexOC]

5 - 1

[cocaine]

england mullered croatia

and hahaha at their keeper, atm its liek WHEYYY KEEPERRR but had rooney missed it it'd be like GET OUT YOU APE :@

[AlexOC]

He's still an ape..

[StefanWolves]

what a performance, we put 9 goals past the 9th best team in the world in two games, now we need to prove ourselves againt Brazi, the worlds current best, when we play them (don't know when, but it's soonish)

[AlexOC]

Croatia at 9th?

So after some calculations we should be able to beat brazil 6 - 2

[Immenseman]

good win :) nobody got correct score tho, soz! x

[AlexOC]

I did..

[Oleh]

i got closest, it was my score for a very good amount of time :)

[Black_Apalachi]

carragher is an idiot and said he hated playing for england and retired from international football. that's why i hate him, he said some horrible things about england >: (

Really? I didn't even know about that! :O I can understand it though, I really have no passion in international football compared to club football.


Nah, Carra's not a good defender, really. He's getting past it now and relys to much on a punt it game without a midfielder like Alonso to come collect. Ah well. In carra we trust and all that.

Defoe should be starting, no question. Heskey's been a donkey since his liverpool days.

You mean 'in Raffa we trust'? :S Anyway yeah, Heskey has always been one of my favourite players but every time I see him play nowadays I kind of feel awkward and sorry for him. He does slip almost every time he gets the ball :P and he can't really finish. I'm surprised he's even in the squad if not on the bench. Still, he's probably one of the nicest people you'll find in the game.

I hate the way they always take the cameras away from stuff that happens like the fella running on!!!

Anyway, haven't seen Stevie G bang in so many headers in all me life!!! :P I hope Glen Johnson settles in a bit more though.

[Browney]

I've fallen out with Johnson. Once we play Brazil he's going to get shown up, as Brazil kill on the counter and I can see Johnson pissing off upfront and leaving Rio and Terry to get merked.

[Geraint]

Croatia are **** and massively over-rated. I can't believe people were saying they'd beat England and before the qualifiers started people were saying that England were going out. fgs, they had 2 lucky wins over England and suddenly they're 9th in the world. :S

[Jack.Lfc]

Hope johnson gets dropped from england, at Liverpool he will be the one of the best rb's in the world and that will be thanks to dirk kuyt.

Hope england get slaughtered in the world cup too.

As for carragher he's always just hit it up field, he is not really a footballer he is just good at defending.

[Jibbish]

who else for right back?
luke young?

[StefanWolves]

Wes Brown? Lescott can fill in their? Richards? Gary Neville (I know, I know, but he knows the game) - we have multiple choices for every position, and most of the players being under the age of 30 is always good.

[Browney]

Richards would be our best bet aside from Johnson.

[Immenseman]

I think Johnson is our best option and I think he's quality anyway. I'd rather have Brown over Richards though, genuinely. Richards has never had the form he had when he burst onto the scene.

Also beat Germany at Euro 2008, who went on to the final. Were also seconds away from the semi-finals.

But I do agree they are rather overrated.
