Originally posted by DRM 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

heh not far wrong! 3-1, but a little better performance than I thought we'd do.

For england to do their best they need carrick in that holding position.

Good prediction DRM.

Then I guess it's a good result for you guys, both the result itself and the way you played.

see im not convinced of that, carrick played wank last time for england, sure give him a go in that role against jamaica but as far as i can see the way carragher played in that role tonight was all that was needed. Yes the only way he's going to pass is backwards but in front of him he has one of the best midfields in gerrard, lampard, beckham and joe cole so he doesnt need to do any attacking. Plus it gives both ashley cole and gary neville a free reign to get down the sides and even possibly rio going forward because hes 100% capable of filling in all of those roles.

Carrick is a much better passer of the ball though. Look at alonso at liverpool. Carragher did well, but i cant see him controlling a game like carrick could.

Carragher is a excellent CB, hes not good enough as Holdiing mid. He will be found out against the top teams. I think carrick would do alot better. A holding player isnt just about defending. Its alot more then that.

I would be tempted to start with Crouch up front aswell. Massive risk though. But Owen cant play up front on his own. I think lampard and gerrard playing off crouch's knock downs would do very well.

Sven would never drop Owen for crouch though.

Good news for us swedes, Fredrik Ljungberg back in training after his foot injury for Sweden.

Sweden warming up against Chile and I read there will be like 27.000 Chile-fans on R�sunda.

The capacity for R�sunda is about 35.000

Sick

15.000 Chile-fans bought a ticket for this game, and Chile played very good.

Sweden on the other hand has a lot to work on, even though they didn't really care about this game as much as Chile did perhaps. The most important thing now is that Tobias Linderoth doesn't get injured, It looked a little down for him after a small injury in the late stage of the game.

Humberto Suazo was really good.

Man of the match was in Chile, Jorge Valdivia.

Look out for that guy in the upcoming years..

We(Ireland) played them in a friendly 2 weeks ago. lost 1-0 to chile. They played very well. Technically they have some excellent players.


Gonzalez was excellent against us. Liverpool applied for his Work permit yesterday. Hopefully it will be granted, should be class.

They were playing terrifick.

Look out for Jorge Valdivia, He was amazing and has been playing in Europe twice before, First in Servette in Switzerland and then in Rayo Vallecano.

He's currently playing for Colo Colo.

I can't wait to see him playing for us next season, he'll be our very own Cristiano Ronaldo!

England 6 Jamaica 0

1-0 Lampard '12
2-0 Taylor (Own goal) '16
3-0 Peter Crouch '29
4-0 Michael Owen '32
5-0 Peter Crouch '67
6-0 Peter Crouch '89

Peter Crouch could've scored another goal, but missed a penalty kick.

England + Penalty kicks = No good

Lampard last game, Crouch this game.

we're getting rid of all the missed penalty kicks before we start

Fair do's Jamaica werent much kop but England took them to the cleaners and showed the quality that we have throughout the squad with or without Wayne Rooney.

I didn't see the game, but that's a lot of goals isn't it? Maybe Crouch can have a good tournament and pot a few. Still, it's just Jamaica, but things look good so far no?

Take it from someone who has seen the English get totally dismantled... when a soccer team is losing, logic says take risk and push forward. English NT says let's play rugby and make sure non of the players we're injurying will have a chance of playing in the next round.

I think u'd have to go a long long way back in history to find a competative match that England lost by more than 2 goals. so where was this dismantling??

yeah no shite. England didn't even bother to play in the first three World Cups and have always been competitive in the ones they did qualify for (1974, 78, 94...bad years). In fact, the last few big games have been 1 goal games or losses on penalties...or absolute theft like Maradona's hand of god, disallowed goals for no reason, etc, etc.

My grandpa has a theory that FIFA will never let England actually win a big tournament again...

Crouch is on fire.

Andreas Isaksson had to interrupt a training in Bremen, seems like he's injured again.

Hopefully not.
