We have just been arguing at work regarding the the game tonight..... what would be your tactics.
1. formation ?
2. Crouch or Owen
Well I would go 4-4-2 and I would play Own because Crouch is on a yellow. Yes I know we need to win to see if we play the 1st or 2nd place of our opposing group but I think Crouch is underrated and we need him for the final 16!
Just a girls point of view!
biggrin
Definitley like to see one up the middle, all exposed gaps thoroughly filled, plenty of long balls with a great finish from any team member who feels up to raising their game.

I'm planning on turning the TV off!

Actually, I have to amend that as I think I've got some people coming round to watch the flipping match and I'm not even Scottish and have no interest in the match, the result or the World Cup. redface I'm just a good friend to those who haven't got a TV and don't need one EVER except when England are playing football!
:huh: :huh:

Ooops! ... Yellow cartds all round then.

hmmmm...well, seen as you asked..
i would start with owen...and give him the ful 90 mins....and i would also strart with rooney....but give him only an hour...and give the other 30 mins to walcott...regardless of the score...
in midfeild.....i would start with joey cole, lampard and bekham....with either micky carrick OR owen hargreaves in the hole..as i think they both are as good as each other in that position....
and then have terry n ferdinanad as the center halves and ashley cole and jamie carragher as the ful backs...
then later in the game...i would put lennon on for carragher...and have him n the wide right of mid..and pull becks back as a sort of wing back...this sorta happened in the t&T game...and it worked...but i would see if it is possible to go a full ganme, by experimentig against the sweedes....
the reason i would do this is coz it dont realy mata who england get ni the 2nd round...as,ok the germans are at home, but hve u seen ecudor play!!
they are a massive bunch of lads! and if we got aspirations of winnin the thing..we gotta be able to beat ne1!
and neway they are one nil down...so it would seem england will play em!
bet u wished u neva asked now!! lol redface

I'll be on the patio, drinking fine wine and eating raspberries (weather permitting) . . . . . alone :cry:
Unless I can talk her into going to the pub to watch it, then I'll be able to watch a girly chick-flick on TV :giggle: :grin:

My plan was ever-so-slightly different.....
Me watching the footy on the box whilst some nice person cooked my tea
bolt
my word!!
iv always been one of those that has defended sven...after all his 'tactical' decisions...i have always seen some sense in them...and again...what a masterclass in bringing on gerrard!
the lads i was wachin with were all slaggin him off...half for takin rooney off...and others for not bringing on walcott.....and i have to admit, i was with them...i mean y bring him if u aint gunna play him... confused: :?: :?:
but gerrard proved his worth...and this formation suits him!!..i really would consider playing this formation now for the rest of the games....as this would suit both lampard and gerrard!
but...im not the one bing paid 5Million a year tho am i?
i tell ya...its a god damm shame! :cry:
Am I a total traitor for not watching the match and going to see a Scottish singer??
Me and the missus went to see KT Tunstall and we could hear the backstage crew cheering when Sweden scored!! She did apologise though!!
Having seen the highlights am I glad I didn't watch it - my bum is a bit too big for all this 'edge of the seat' nonsense wink
I have to say that I have always lamented the lack of good old fashioned ‘possession’ in the England side, but tonight they showed some real tight play, plenty of short accurate passes, with plenty of crossover play. Despite the result, I think the guys actually showed some promise in the second half, If they can concentrate on keeping the ball, and keeping the opposition under pressure, then I do believe that we are in with a chance.
:shock: did I forget to mention the lamentable defending??? innocent
Having said that, I also believe in Fairies
