England v Slovenia

[brummie saddler]

i think the performance was better because we looked to play proper football i think gerrard is standing out and really trying to pull the strings

i think we all agree put that chance on a plate for him in a liverpool it would of been smaked in the back of the net bobble or no bobble

i still think we are not as diciplined as we could be we often find are selves being countered in3 vs 3 or 2 vs 2 situations which is very risky and better teams will use their chances better

still i do agree that we have got that winning feeling now and a clean sheet to go with it which will help massively

no fear now of the clock ticking out and it being game over we can take our time and play how we want to play, to get the win

was it me or did joe cole look nackered after not long coming on?

Played with passion and commitment, just what I expect from an England team. Good performances all round albeit against poor opposition but when we play with that kind of attitude our quality will come through.

Didn't really want the jerries as they have a phsycological advantage over us in the 2 big tournaments but as latvian said, we have to beat them sometime. From a footballing point of view we have no reason to fear them but it looks a good bet for a draw and then we'll crumble in the shoot out.

I wouldnt! The Germans are no mugs, but i dont care. Bring em on, we have to beat them sometime.

Ghana have more pace upfront that would be a worry without Rio .
