Originally posted by InterMilan31 Didnt watch it but kinda unhappy I missed it although Argentina lost which would've made me upset lol. I hate england like alot of ppl so Ill stay out of it for Smitty's sake

so much for the neutral swiss


Seriously tho, this was a great game, had we won or lost I would've been happy as we've shown we can handle the bigger teams. Sure we may lack some of the possession but the directness we include helps us counter this.


On another note, I saw france vs germany as well & france looked awful, they seemed to just lack anything creatively. Glad Spain & Swiss won too, I hate the turks so anything against them is good

They suck so much lol. I think I may be anxious when I see they will play only one game between now and World Cup 06

Originally posted by stix2005 QUOTE]Phil Neville and Ashley Cole, the REGULAR defenders on England's back flanks weren't even playing today. Why Sven is persisting with Rio "I don't know what's going on" Ferdinand baffles me. Put Saul in with Terry...or have Ledley back on defence. With a back four of Neville, Saul Campbell, Terry and Ashely Cole, these defensive problems apparent today won't be much of a concern. Keep Rio in there and disaster is bound to happen. Robinson proved again why he's England's number 1. Let's keep James as far away from the WC as possible.

I agree however:

GARY neville is our regular !!! not phil!! And its SOL Campbell not SAUL !!!!!



P.S Rio will prove good! [/QUOTE]

the funny thing is....I knew all that. Brain flatulence.

What's so funny about London, Ontario? I go to school here.

watching those highlights again only confirms my intense fears about having Rio Ferdinand in the back four. He is bloody god awful right now.

France Vs. Germany was a very boring game. But it's understandable that France played like they did on Stade de France.

France played against Costa Rica a couple of days before they faced Germnay at home. Germany played very bad last night too, But they had the chance to prepare themselfes for a longer time without being exhausted.

Another note: Did you see that goal Henry scored against Costa Rica?

Pure magic

Germany is always boring...they score one goal and get back on defence and never score again...thats the way they play.

Germany is a quality team with a lot of young and good players. They can do sooo much better and France didn't recover from the Costa Rica-game.

Even though everyone's bashing the German team nowadays, They'll be very good in the World Cup next year, That's a fact.

Their primary goal is too reach the quarterfinals next year, But as everyone else, They're dreaming about getting through to the finals and win.

France wasn't better against Costa Rica

Fantastic game, looked like a competitive match instead of a friendly. I think a draw would be more fair tho. Argentina was better during most part of the game, but England's last 20 minutes decided it.

I hope this is the kind of football we're going to have in the World Cup..
