Sweden v England

[xenon]

He's got a twisted knee
Scan tomorrow. I'm no doctor but I doubt we'll see him play in Germany.

...
Go Roonie!

Crouch is a fucking muppet . At 6'7" you'd think he could direct a header

Just cos you're tall doesn't mean you're good in the air

 

[Termite Man]

I know but I hate crouch

altitude sickness

 

[JTG]

That's been obvious since the tournament started tbh

 

[wiskey]

[wiskey]

[xenon]

[Termite Man]

That is a superb goal !

 

[Nemo]

What a fucking goal!

 

[Iam]

Cracking strike from Cole.

 

[tangerinedream]

That is a superb goal !

It's just as good as it was on the other thread!!!

Cracking goal

 

[JTG]

In the immortal words of Alan Partridge:

Shit! Did you see that? He must have a foot like a traction engine!

The goalkeeper has goal pie all over his face.

Up yours England haters

 

[Termite Man]

It's certainly not a dull game

 

[wiskey]

Shit! Did you see that? He must have a foot like a traction engine!

i didnt know traction engines were good at footy, cor you learn something new every day

 

[tangerinedream]

Is it me or is Owen Hargreaves having a decent game and letting the other midfielders get forward?

 

[Termite Man]

It's what he does . Sven plays him out of position !

 

[JTG]

i didnt klnow traction engines were good at footy, cor you learn something new every day

Alan thinks so

 

[JTG]

Is it me or is Owen Hargreaves having a decent game and letting the other midfielders get forward?

It's what he does - he's a decent player and what England need to go with all the fancy dans elsewhere

 

[tangerinedream]

It's what he does . Sven plays him out of position !

Yes, it's just been getting on my nerves that people slag him when every time I see him he looks tidy, good in the tackle and never stops running. If he was Paul Ince or David Batty he'd be bummed out of existence, but as he doesn't play in the SUPER PERMIER LEAGUE he must be shit....

 

[Iam]

England have looked more up for it in this first half than I've seen them in ages, I reckon.

Hargreaves has been really good, I'm surprised and pleased to say.

 

[tangerinedream]

I think Steve Bull should get a run out second half

TD - Me and my older brother (he's more of an England fan than myself) agreed about what you've just mentioned about Hargreaves and the crticism and stick that he gets from the fans. Mostly because he plays his club football in Germany.

Anyone with an ounce of intelligence would have realised that he's had yet another good season with Bayern Munich.

 

[Termite Man]

1-0 half time . England looking good even with the Owen injury and forced change .

 

[jiggajagga]

News Flash:.....At 45 min 32 seconds England team strung 4 one-touch passes together!!!!

Good goal but still generally 2 ordinary teams playing ordinary football.

 

[Balbi]

Hargreaves = telling the critics where to stick it, lad is having a great game.

Shame he's got that out of position uncreative muppet Lampard in front of him.

Anyone else think Stevie G would be doing lots better with a Hargreaves next to him than Frank?

 

[zed]

Hargreaves get played out of position by England most of the time. He gets picked because he's seen as a ultility player.

Good first half. Best performance I've seen from them for a while (by England standards ....not other countries standards). It is also further confirmation that we play more cohesively with only one of Lampard and Gerrard playing.

One more injury up front though and England are fucked.

 

[Termite Man]

One more injury up front though and England are fucked.

Lamps and Gerrard can play together with Hargreaves behind them and 1 up front , and Sven bought enough midfielders to do that

Yes.

 

[DexterTCN]

Hargreaves has been solid.
