Thank God after all. but Ghana needs a second striker that's it. and they should concentrate more on the goal. they wasted easy chances in the past 2 matches. and please no muntari.

Ghana were not really that lucky either. They had quite a few good chances to score.

I didn't watch their match tonight. And I can't say that Ghana didn't deserve to go through, but they were lucky that they had stupid opponents in this group and help from the referees.

Stupid red by Lukovic, moronic penalty by Kuzmanovic, ref gives them a very dubious penalty against Australia and doesn't give a penalty to Serbia in the last minutes against Australia.

They had huge luck. Still, like I said, one can't say that Australia or Serbia deserve to qualify more than Ghana.

 

[Bjerknes]

Indeed. Am I wrong in thinking we could beat both?

Yes, you are wrong, I'd say. England will have to improve greatly during the next week if they want to beat those sides.

 

[king Ale]

Hopefully games we will all talk about for a long time

Indeed. I'm really going to love this World Cup. I just hope Italians won't ruin it for me

For sure mate.

I just think if we turn up and play to our ability then we could beat Germany and give Argentina a game.

Personally I'd switch to a 5 man midfield against both teams.

[Henry]

they can do it though, for sure.

I'm thrilled we get Ghana instead of Serbia, but it will be pretty tough either way

And use Rooney as a lone striker?

 

[Seven]

Your boys are to blame the most. But the stupid Aussies got on my nerves with their idiotic logic. They go on to score two goals and celebrate like they won the WC (What they were celebrating exactly?), but when they finally had a chance to do something great and qualify if they push forward to score two goals (or even one and then wait for the Germans to score one more), they started wasting time!
WTF???

What kind of idiotic logic is that? Why were they celebrating the 2:0 like mad and then decided to keep it? What would they get by keeping it?

Well done by the Australians. You'd think they would struggle after the Germany thrashing, but they came back strong, so they deserve credit. It would have been nice to play them again in a real match instead of a friendly.

Because people can be morons, Alen.

 

[Nicholas]

And use Rooney as a lone striker?

Yes with Gerrard just behind.

4-4-1-1

I would play.

Milner had a very good game today IMO. Upson also had a decent game.

Gerrard and Rooney played much much better than the first two games and this is what everyone expects of them. Your team will improve I guess.

 

[Red]

It's not likely, but playing teams who will attack will suit England much better than playing teams like Algeria.

Some players may also decide it is a big enough game to concentrate fully and actually put in a performance.

sorry Alen, it wasn't a penalty there is a different between this ball (for god sake the player even did't see the ball) and with kewell's handball.

Thats my thinking, Argentina and Germany have left alot of open space between midfield and defence when they attack I think if we move the ball alot quicker we could punish them.

Grow up already, Andries.

 

[The Curr]

The post match interview on the pitch with Donovan was truly cringe worthy.

 

[Seven]

Grow up already, Andries.

What can I say? It was a stupid thing to post. Australia achieved nothing.

Then again you could say that Cahill's red card changed the entire group.

But let's not put any of the blame on the refs, who have been awesome so far.

 

[Bjerknes]

Yes with Gerrard just behind.

4-4-1-1

Might work. How did Joe Cole play?

 

[X Æ A-12]

Why? I didn't see it.

Why's that?
