FIFA World Cup 2010

[fan]

Slovenia won it's first match in World Cup.

The first time we played world cup we lost all three games but this time we started with a win and important 3 points.

Slovenia : Algeria - 1:0


 

All we have to do now is to play well against England and USA and we have a great chance for advancing.

GO Slovenia!

Well all England keepers have to make blunders, it's the law. It's just good he did it early

haha i came downstairs to have breakfast and i was still kinda sleepy. i saw the tv and it read: Arg-Svn

so i asked: who's playing argentina? and my father said, yeah, against Slovenia. and I said: wasnt it going to play against Corea? he said: no. against slovenia. i watched the fucking match for 1 hour and i even said:

Argentina's playing is lame... oh shit, now slovenia scored.

yep, we're gonna lose...

until I realized the Arg was for Argelia

yeah, it is good that he made that blunder early where it really didn't matter too too much, instead of later where it really could have affected the team. I was disappointed though, they didn't show englands reaction to that goal.

Germany has made some great goals so far.

[pawnshop-guitars]

Yeah, the Germans put in a great display. Although Australia did leave themselves open to it in fairness.

[xogabbyox]

To be honest I really wasn't paying all that much attention to Austrailia's playing. Though, yes I agree they did leave themselves open, especially on the second goal I feel. The goalie shouldn't have been that far out, or at least I think he shouldn't have been that far out. Germany did fantastic though!!!

Fuck sake England, always have to make us suffer 

Honestly I'm not too worried about the goalkeeping situation, these things happen and all our keepers are at roughly the same level. It's our inability to take chances and keep possession that will get us knocked out at the quarters again. I wish Capello would atleast try out a 4-5-1 with Gerrard just behind Rooney, it could potentially solve both problems.

It's also imperative that we finish 1st in the group cause Germany looked very good against Australia.

Germany looked good, a well oiled machine slipping into gear. They have set the benchmark.

The problem with England is they have to find a system that allows the best of Gerrard and Lampard to both shine. They need to play the Chelsea way with one up front with a holding midfield player, leaving both to roam forward from deep. Trust me they will cause problems. Crouch seems to win every ball in the air but manages to spoon it away from any English player. Play Joe Cole for the next game.

True, Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea all play relatively similar styles in having only one real striker. Rooney was very subdued last night, Gerrard had a brilliant opening 20 minutes but after that was wasteful in possession and looked lost for position when USA had the ball, and Lampard had to largely curb his natural play to act as the defensive midfielder. Having Rooney play upfront on his own with Gerrard a direct link between him and midfield, whilst having a holding player so Lampard can also join in attack would hopefully get the best out of all of them.

[jplpool]

England not good enough. In terms of technique, we are way behind Brazil, Spain, Germany, Argentina, Portugal and Holland.
I've said for years that English players make a great spine to a team
But 11 together. No! We will need endavour...AGAIN!

Haha, I totally agree with ya man. Maybe the Don is saving it for the next round though...he's a crafty one. He is obviously expecting that we will get through this group, and then he'll change the formation for the next round to catch our opponents (I'll bet it's fucking Germany) offguard. At least I like to think he has a masterplan
