with a population of 2million it would be the biggest moment in sport if we were to get to the knockout stages of the world cup

England to finally get their shit together and play Slovenia off the park, with Slovenia barely rocking up. Heskey to get dropped for a Crouch/Defoe forward line with Rooney to play in behind the front two. Gerrard and Lennon will be the wide men and Lampard will be the holding midfielder offering attacking options from all over the park. Terry and Upson the centre pair at the back with Cole and Johnson the fullbacks providing pace and width. David James will almost certainly be in goals as Brad Green is on the bench from now on, regardless of how far they go.

Yes predict an England win - they dont deserve to go through but think they will. Rooney to fire up - and goals will come!

England to scramble a 2-1 win and sneak in. I think Man U's OG may come into play at some stage.

If they fail to make the last 16 , lets hope its just not Capello that takes the blame.

Rumour is that Defoe will replace Donkey and Milner will replace Lennon. At least Capello's moving in the right direction.

thought lennon played ok, at least he ran at the defence and targetted his run into the box rather than to kpp trying to pass the ball through the defence.

Hope at east engerland 'pull the trigger' and don't get shy of shooting.

England aren't playing in white for a reason.

Rooney and Lampard both having a poor game so far with Barry not far in front. Milner started badly but seems to have played his way in. Still a little ponderous going forwards but at least we've got our noses in front.

How the shiraz did Gerrard miss?

Yanks have scored 3 already so no is the answer. USA would go through.

Oh Lord, he's put bottle of shiraz Heskey on. WTF is Capello thinking?

England were very poor really. James and the defence played OK, but Barry gave the ball away way too often, Lampard and Rooney were anonymous and Milner drifted in and out of the game. Hung onto the ball too long in general and passing inaccurate. They might have been better had they scored a second but will need to improve again to have any chance of progressing further.

Well, we're through. No nails left but we're there.

The only positives that I can take from the group is we only conceded one goal and that was a grenache up by Green, so we look fairly solid, and at last Capello seems to have realised that Donkey is not worth playing.

Against that, Barry, Lampard, Rooney were all poor. I guess we can only improve.

lampard played?
he is a disgrace for england and has been for a while

i'm not an england fan, but i would be calling for him to be dropped and the pressure should be on 6 mil man capello still to cange the side and gerrard in the middle with 2 wingers

doesn't matter who plays as england will struggle with the next game

don't get wht it is with england, no passion from the stars, except rooney, every other nation shows passions and it looks like the players would give their left nut to be there, they show more for their club

Gutted for Slovenia, leaders of the group the whole way until it really mattered, also how heartbreaking, at full time of their game they were through to the next round, 1 minute later they're out
