*** Official Match Thread : Slovenia vs England : 3pm : BBC 1 ***

[sam86]

I've decided to go into work, and leave around 2.30, giving enough time to get to the pub. However, I feel not much work is going to get done between 9.00 and 2.30pm.

I'd like everyone to respect this official thread, and to not post anything negative prior to the match.

Until 3pm, lets hear score predictions (yes, I know there's already been a thread on it, but f*** it), potential team line ups, potential match winners, and all things positive!

[clippedgull]

I said nothing negative

Sorry

I did say I hoped I was wrong! So it's a neutral post.

4-0 win. IF Rooney + Defoe up front.

 

[Trigger]

4-0 win. IF Rooney + Defoe up front.

Why Rooney?... He's done NOTHING of any note in two games, deserves to be dropped... Heskey has put more effort in, if you're going to drop one you have to drop both.

Defoe and Crouch please.

 

[Simster]

:vuvu2:

That is all.

 

[crodonilson]

A rallying cry!!

f***ing come on boys, do us proud in the big game today, you will have 50 million Englishmen cheering you on, and take us to the promised land of the Round of 16!!

Neverrrrrrrrrrrrr forget where you've come here from
Never pretend that it's all real
Someday soon this will be someone else's dream



We're not invincible, we're not invincible, no
We're only people, we're only people
Hey we're not invincible, we're not invincible



Neverrrrrrrrrrrrr forget where you've come here from
Never pretend that it's all real
Someday soon this will be someone else's dream



Etc.

Corrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Come on England!!

I suppose that is still a positive, kindof, but not a very nice one! But fine...

To be fair, if we are judging players on the last two performances alone, Rooney does deserve to be dropped. Not that he will be dropped.

[Kinky Gerbil]

Indeed not. And that is because you don't go from being one of the best players in the world to absolute shithouse in TWO games.

Ww need good early possession and ideally and early goal and then we move forward.
