So England have no goalkeeper, no centre backs that can run faster than me, a striker who cannot score for his own team, let alone his country (and he had a good game for heavens sake!). Oh we've also got Sean Wright-Philips - who, while he might be able to ghost past me, clearly has the touch of an elephant's bottom.
A game where we had all the best chances, should have won but once again managed to prove that we can't get over the finishing line. Gerrard needs to play off Rooney if we are to have any joy in this tournament - but without fit defenders - Carragher - you are having a laugh....we haven't got a prayer. Happy with some (mostly) good passing football - but if you can't score, you won't win.
It is therefore perhaps only right that Stu is leader after day 2 - a Scotsman living in USA who was the only one who predicted anything but an English victory - well done.
Here are the scores at the close of play:
Stu 16
Tim & Stephen 15
Jake 14
Andy P 13
Steve 12
Ruaridh 10
Phil 9
David 7
Gregor 6
Andy 5
"Hi Y'all" as they say in these parts. Poor Robert Green. Not since the War of Independece / Revolutionary war has an Englishmen surrendered so meekly to the Yanks.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, a good result for me. Robert Green is officially my hero. And England have to worry that they could only score 1 goal. I will enjoy being in the lead while it lasts. I am guessing it will only be a few hours...
Just a quick correction re Stu being the only one to predict anything but an England win. I also predicted a draw. And as for the debate about whether England should replace Robert Green for the next game. Well, if it's the case that Capello is unlikely to play Joe Hart due to inexperience, what does that leave us with? Oh yes, Mr Calamity James!! Still fancy England to (somehow) top the group though.
