Group C: England, USA, Algeria, Slovenia

No. They got extremely lucky to get passed russia, sigh, i hate slovenia (the soccer federation, not the people/country)

 

I'm quite positive Rooney will be supporting Crouch. We'll see a bit of Defoe and Bent throughout the tournament, I'm sure.

 

Sorry didnt mean second striker in terms of the position, i meant second "forward" beside the phenomenal rooney

but i get you, i actually didnt see crouch on another list so i was wondering...

plus in the World Cup Game they have Heskey starting....i was like WTF.

 

Keep an eye on Rene Krhin. One of the top youngsters in the World Cup this year. Besides that, not much to look at.

 

Yeah, I'm not sure that will be happening this time around but I don't know what's going on inside Capello's head.

 

Since we are talking about england for the moment.... i wanted to reminisce on better times....

I just saw that the only two teams that england has a worse GD against in their history over Romania is Brazil/Uruguay

England is 2-6-3 against Romania

I think we have your guys's number... and i just remember that 1998 game, when petrescu scored that goal on seamen in th 90 min to seal the group it was awesome, i was like 11

 

Yeah, that basically defines 'fluke'.

 

ohhhh yea

what happened 2 years later in the euro????

oh yea thats right, 3 -2 for Romania

Fluke? not so much

 

You can't seriously think you have a good squad. Full of coke addicts.

 

well not now, but thats why i said i was "reminiscing" (spelling?)

 

Then I can reminisce on 1966?

 

LOOOOOOOOL

there is a big time differnce

Although England does have the distinction of winning a world cup, something a lot of teams havent (looking at you spain)

 

Really strange news with Zamora. He wasn't relevant with England, so he decided to play with Trinidad and Tobago and got a passport through his father. It was supposed to be him and Jlloyd Samuel joining right before the end of CONCACAF qualifying, but Zamora got hurt before he could play. Now he has a decent season and England want him?

 

The first part is strange but how is the latter? Why wouldn't we want him? He has been prolific this season and we've lacked options up-front. I'd feel much more confident if we scrapped Heskey and played Zamora but his injury has been bothering him for years.

 

I think it'll be easy too, with the only team causing trouble being United States.

 

Donovan says Rooney is "worn out."

I like the confidence, but I'm not sure you want to start poking at Rooney. I'd guess that Onyewu, DeMerit, and Bocanegra would say Rooney looks pretty fresh.

 

No, no. Keep poking fun at him. He has very low self-esteem so any insult will completely throw off his game.

 

Epic. Too bad it's The Sun.

 

Capello considers formation change
