England is lucky that Ecuador sucks @ the finishing touch.
YES! WE WIN!
NOW ENDURE OUR AWESOME CHANTING!!!
England scores a close win, but was rather unimpressive against weak Ecuadorians.
They'll be an easy pick for their next opponent.
I think England will cry if Portugal wins tonight. England’s hasn’t won against Portugal since the 90’s or something. But meh, first we must defeat the Dutch!
Congratulations with the awesome free kick and the victory.

Oh Portugal, i'd like to see us get sweet revenge for Euro 2004.

Well, that wasn't a pretty match. Has to be said, Ashley Cole played out of his boots, again, and Lampard REALLY needs to score to boost his confidence, otherwise he might as well be replaced by someone who can actually shoot on target. Another good match by Gerrard, great goal by Beckham, Joe Cole was off-colour, and as I keep saying, we need to put the young 'uns (Walcott & Lennon) on for more than two minutes.
I thought that Ecuador lacked any decent cohesion, not sure whether that was down to their strategy or the fact that they were closely marked pretty much 100% of the time.
Holy shit, most epic thunder is going on “close” to our region. I think this country is getting on to me and not appreciating I’m on the side of the enemy tonight. Dutch nature is going to take me out. SMIGHT ME!
And now for Holland V.S. Portugal!
place your bets!
1 - 1
AET 2 - 1
Holland wins

Meh, I'm not sure. Van Basten should've put The Hunter in the selection.
Now Portugal is going to win and England might lose..
...
Holland - Portugal goes to penalties.

Crouch wouldn't have offered anything as we had no width until Lennon came on.

That the Gods of football results listen to thee.
I have a strong feeling that Portugal is going to be fucked by the referee. Tonight Ivanov is commanding the whistle and he horribly sucked @ the previous matches. So that is already a great weight on tonight’s game.
As for game results: I don’t predict Portugal games anymore since 2002, I’ll just jinx it.
I realised Im a few minutes late but
ENGERLAND! ENGERLAND! ENGERLAND!
Gotta admit Im happy.
A
Worst game of the World Cup anyone?
Huzzah!
we ACTUALLY won!
It wasn't a shitty draw at the last moment or anything.
happy.
I hardly ever come here anymore....

Er,what game where you watching? Lennon was on for at most ten minutes and all he did was stay in the corner to waste time and win corners.
haha did you hear Sven after the game? "our game plan worked" shambolic,is the only way to describe that mans managing methods.

He at least offered a wide option. Which is more than Beckham and Cole did. It's a shame he was doing what he was told otherwise we'd have got a second.

Plan for game = win. Your point is?

Ah for fucks sake you know damn well a game plan is a lot more complicated then playing to win.Of course that's the objective of any plan but its how you win and how you plan that determines if a country goes home with the trophy.Fact is,today England was shit against a shit team.England had no structure,no direction.If they weren't giving the ball away along the ground,they were just humping pointless 40 yard balls to Rooney.
You England fans are in denial.
Fucks sake,my mate just rang me, so I'm off to a session.I'm continuing this poxy argument when I get home tonight or tomorrow.mark my words!
later kids

They had a high % of the possession, and they prevented the opposition from being a threat for the majority of the game. Ecuador is a team that has beaten both Argentina and Brazil, and as much as I didn't like the formation/selection tonight, it took the bite out of the Ecuador attack. Also, while I agree that there were periods of the game where England appeared to have lost direction, there were also many long periods during which they had complete control over the ball and the game.
I can't see the strategy working against some of the better teams, but no-one is saying we'll use the same strategy against teams like Argentina or Paraguay.

Really though, you're just being an arse for the sake of it. You have nothing constructive to say about anything, all you do is slag players/team off. Eheh, and then I checked your profile to find out which country you're from. That makes sense.
I told you all: WE WILL BE FUCKED BY THE REFEREE. And oh where we. One man out with red because the referee listened to the players who asked for the second yellow card. Ill tell you one fucking thing: Holland should have been playing with 10 players for over 35 min. that dangerous play bash on Christiano Ronaldo’s leg was a red, not a yellow. In the end he had to leave the field due to his injured status.
This is a fucking joke, I have never seen so many games with so many god awful referee mistakes. I know its 1 – 0 but there are 45 bloody minutes to go.
fuck

That's not a good stat to judge a team by.

Well, you weren't a threat either.

What bite?

Absolutely and totally no. You played crappy, nothing less.

That coming from a brit...lol

That's about the lamest thing you said. But well, coming up with exscuses is probably all you can do at this point. You came to this world cup as the self-proclaimed winners, and the so-called best english team ever. So far, you've been very lucky you even passed the group stage. You have not played one good game at this world cup yet. Face it.
Noooo Portugal 1-0 against Holland!!
