***Official*** Road to World Cup 2014

[flibbertyjibber]

Ukraine win. England have to.

 

[sledger]

I love how one of the main highlights being shown at half-time is that Danny Welbeck shot that hit a defender and went out of play.

 

[GIMH]

Just need to calm down rather than more urgency IMO. A goal will come.

 

[Cevno]

RVP Hat trick today, btw.

All time top scorer for Holland now.

 

[Cevno]

Good play by Townsend.

Rooney gives England the lead. Was a decent first touch before the finish after Welbeck's shot was saved.

 

[GIMH]

The finish is easy but Rooney did so well with his first touch there. Should relax them, that.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Looks like he shinned it, but unusually for England he got the first touch right and that was the important bit.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Great run by Townsend.

 

[grecian]

Well, tbf, I think we deserved that, and looked like getting it. No great quality, but at least there's some pace and invention on the wings, if it's still leaden in mid-field, and will whilst these two play together, but I guess we've just got to accept that.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Decent save by Joe. Walker was a plank though.

 

[Pothas]

There is surley no way he would play those two and nobody else in midfield against top opposition.

 

[GIMH]

Well, tbf, I think we deserved that, and looked like getting it. No great quality, but at least there's some pace and invention on the wings, if it's still leaden in mid-field, and will whilst these two play together, but I guess we've just got to accept that.

What would your midfield be ?

 

[sledger]

Yeah, this ought to be done now. If England somehow don't win it'll really be a ****-up.

 

[Furball]

What would your midfield be ?

Probably Gerrard-Carrick-Wilshere assuming form and fitness.

 

[GIMH]

You'd fancy Rooney to beat Charlton's record but I remember thinking Owen was a cert so you never know really

 

[sledger]

Probably Gerrard-Carrick-Wilshere assuming form and fitness.

Yeah, that'd be mine too. Would be quite keen to fit Oxlade-Chamberlain in there somewhere though.

 

[Furball]

Yeah, this ought to be done now. If England somehow don't win it'll really be a ****-up.

Montenegro have to win as well to keep their hopes alive, so you'd think England should piss it in on the counter.

 

[grecian]

What would your midfield be ?

Wilshere/Carrick/Gerrard or Lampard

 

[Pothas]

Haha good goal.

 

[GIMH]

Probably Gerrard-Carrick-Wilshere assuming form and fitness.

Yeah I was thinking similar. Whatever argument there may have been for Lampard over Gerrard in the past (and for me I've never bought it) it's not up for discussion anymore.

Oh dear, poor fella.

Class from Strurridge mind you
