Where would we be without our badgers?

Gay

Sounds more like a new G&D track.

Exactly

They have the best midfielders, but not the best midfield, not at all. They don't fit each other.

Yeah, we all know that T&T have the best midfield.

Trinidad & Tobago lost to Wales yesterday with 2-1. They're really bad.

exactly! What makes you think Trinidad Tobago or even Paraguay will score on England's defence? Robinson is a good goalie too! Yes, rooney is out but against those two teams, Owen and Crouch should plenty of offensive opportunities. Sweden has always been a tester for England and I could see a loss or draw there perhaps....but there is no doubt in my mind that England and Sweden are going through to the 16s.

Paraguay is underrated and they should be taken more seriously. They're a great team for sure, so watch out for them.

Yeh, Paraguay is kind of underrated in my opinion... but they are not used to the type of european defenses England and Sweden have.

I hate Paraguay anyways lol so I hope they don't make it through

i agree with Trinidad being crap but keep an eye to Haeldo Valdez and Santa Cruz...

yep Paraguay can play spolier in this group

All this talk about Rooney. We don't need him until at least the quarters. Owen has said himself he prefers to play alongside Crouch due to all the layoffs.

We will win the group, that's all that needs to be said.

Winner: Sweden
Runner up: England

I see a 2-0 or mabye 2-1 score for England against Paraguay in 12 days time. You guys are seriously either overrating Paraguay or underrating the English team without Rooney

I'm not saying England aren't the favourites in the group, and Sweden can be considered 2nd favs. Just having an hint of the end result being different than expected

Originally posted by Dj Smitty20 If Rooney isn't going to be able to go, then I'd say risk Gerrard up front. He's a natural goal scorer and England have plenty of depth at mid field, though I would have preferred to have Ledley King available. Walcott is going to be a great player most likely but he's just too young. And Crouch....meh. Owen will be good as usual but he's so much better when Rooney makes things happen for him.

if it came to that id love to see owen & gerrard up front together.

yeah, so we dont have rooney, but why is everyone writing off owen? he's a quick little fvcker with some of the nicest touches youll see. sure, he cant score outside the box all that often, but thats why he's so quick

and gerrard could play anywhere. he is a true champion.

sweden & england thru

How can any of you write off England against Paraguay? yes they have Santa Cruz who is a fantastic player, but at the end of the day England have Robinson, Terry, Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham and Owen, who are all world class. Plus South American teams are notorious for performing poorly in Europe

learn to read then, nobody "wrote them off"

England is not written off.

This is a very strong team on the paper who could perform very well if their midfield fits each other. It's going to be hard though, and Paraguay is a very strong team to, Not like England with all those superstars, But they're still a very underrated side who could surprise, and I'm not going to write them off even though South American teams has had it tough in Europe.

Sweden could be a little overrated, and I'm rooting for them. Also, We have no natural RB because Alexander �stlundh and Christoffer Andersson wasn't included in the squad, A huge misstake in my book.

well even the suggestion that england will struggle against them just isnt conceivable to me but that is more than likely just national pride coming through rather than logical thought

It'll be interesting tonight how England will play before their first game in the World Cup.

Could be a interesting match even though Hungary isn't qualified for the World Cup.

Up to proof England.

we always play poorly in friendlies, none of the players ever seem particuarly commited so we shall see but im not forseeing anything other than a very underwhelming 2-1 victory or something like that

Most of the teams who play in the World Cup play poorly in the friendly games.

A lot of teams does this, so it wouldn't come as a surprise if they had a bad day.

They're playing this because of preperations, to see what the players will play like so they can fix it until the World Cup starts.

So, Yes. You're right

I'll be hiding behind my sofa tonight praying for no injuries.
