England are on the ropes here. The worlds best player has to turn up today or it's curtains.

I heart this place, the Inglaterra bashing just keeps on coming.
 

England will play absolute boss in this match and all will be ok again. England fans will be happy but sadly it will be an end to forum wars for a while :(

England 3 - 0 Slovenia (Rooney 2, Terry)

Rooney is bound to score in this by the way after the camera thing

If Capello had any rocks at all he would bench Rooney.. But Capello is a puppet

Note: Not for his comments, but his play has been downright ugly
 
England will win this game, 1-0 an go throuht all the way to the semi's then lose on pens after Terry get sent off and Sol Campbell gets a perfect goal disallowed(cos he not even there) that happens in every tourny England enter.

Were gettin screwed over on Tuesday by the conny/lab t wats, so we need something to cheer about.

Think he needs bringing down a peg or two, Ferguson has started with him on the bench a few times. He responds well to being benched.

So, it all comes down to this. A very disappointing England team that has slugged to two draws against opposition they were supposed to sweep aside, play the top placed team in the group going into the final game.

Now there has been a whole plethora of opinion offered on England so far and the furore that follows their Earth Goblet campaign has been cranked up on the verge of over ride but despite all their shortcomings if they win the game they will go through to the next round and possibly win the group. Which puts it in context really, but the media and white man van won't be having any of that as the fume has really set in, on this fine summery weekend.

Quite often it's the form team that prevails in a tournament rather than the best one, there is no doubting that England have some real top class players and I'm not suggesting they would go on and win it but if they click then to be honest they are capable of putting Slovenia aside and then taking on a not too dangerous second round tie so things aren't all doomsday just yet.

Getting England to click may be the hard part, Capello is being asked some questions by most England fans due to some strange selections which just haven't worked out at all. Now we can wax lyrical about formations and player combinations etc but any team wanting to succeed in a tournament of this standard is going to have to do better than Heskey, a present day Carragher, Lennon and Barry. Neither captain Gerrard or talisman Rooney are looking the least bit effective either so it will be interesting to see what England go for.
Whilst the Italian is usually pragmatic in his approach, this is a game that is needed to win and well so the Rooney with Gerrard sat in behind may be an option, Carragher is suspended and it's unlikely the glue will set well enough on King's knee so Upton will be involved and...anyway, that's Capello's problem and not mine. Discuss and procrastinate to your heart's content.

Slovenia looks average against Algeria, requiring a spawny goal late on to win it but then in large parts against the USA looked like they found their stride and played some nice possession football. You can be sure that they will only be motivated by another hesitant start by England but detaching yourself from it you feel that if England start quickly, they are there to be had. The past two games suggest otherwise but with us approaching late chance saloon there is no greater incentive for the players. And take them [Poor language removed] expensive oversized Bose earphones off when you're being talked to Ashley, you look a prick in them. He's defo into self made playlists on which I'd wager Mark Morrison and Lightning Seeds are involved, with a crescendo pre game of Eye of the Tiger.

It's all set up anyway, and World Cup togger is at it's best when the pressure is on. No matter where your loyalties lie, it would be a shame to see England qualify well and turn up for a tournament without at least having a go. On Wednesday, it's there's to lose.

Should be interesting then.

Weapon. If your not arsed don't ******* post.

It's people like you that have made me not want to do the previews.

Bet you just go into restaurants just to complain.
 
I'll be honest - im not gonna lose any sleep over this.

Any team that underperform in a competition, Everton included, ultimately deserve to go out. No team has a god-given right to just expect to half arse their way through and expect to be successful. France are currently finding that out.

That said, I still predict an England win.
