You may aswell just say England have no-chance!

Dont bother😏
Do you really believe England have a chance of winning the World Cup? With no real attack and the quality of defending on show tonight?

We were run ragged by Sweden, for crying out loud.

Lets just say im trying to be a little more positive than you!

We have a decent second round draw in comparison so we should get to the quaters at least

The commentators often say about other teams that they 'haven't seen anything to frighten England here'. The things is, I can't work out what would frighten the other teams when they watch England performances!

You need to beat Ecuador first to be in the group of the last 16, though...

No, 2nd round is the last 16. The Quarterfinals are the last 8! 😀

Yes, you are right. I was mistaken the number of games total (64) for the number of competitors, making 32 in round two. Silly me.

Yes now we have to beat Ecuador, Portugal or Holland, Argentina and Brazil.

What bet on going out 4-3 on penalties to Portugal?

NO worries Aiko - easy mistake to make.

I feel sorry for Michael Owen. After fighting back from injury this season, he must be devastated to go off after only one minute. I hope that it isn't as bad as it looked - if he is out of the tournament it only leaves us 3 strikers, and one of them was Sven's wild card.

Thank goodness for Joe Cole!

Will we miss Owen? Without a doubt yes. Okay he's not done much in the other 2 games, but now our only other striker is Walcott. Either Sven has made a huge mistake in not getting him involved already in the games (putting him in untested against Argentina? yeah nice one Sven), or he plans not to use him at all (therefore the mistake is taking him in the first place).

Agreed. What on earth is Theo Walcott doing there.

With Owen possibly out the need for an established striker has never been greater. Crouch just doesn't make the grade and Rooney is well short of 100%.

We've had it!
