***England vs Germany - Official Thread***

[perseus]

James nonchalantly kicks Ozil's shot over his own bar. Bet he can't do it again!?

 

[Acker79]

Why doesn't Rooney sing the national anthem - Irish roots or something?

Perhaps he's an atheist and/or republican? Or maybe he's a really bad singer and doesn't want to sing in public?

TV commentary off - Radio5 is NOT Alan Green so much better; also 'cos it is a couple of seconds/about 10 yards earlier than TV, hear it before you see it!

 

[defrocked priest]

Johnson is making me very nervous.

 

[perseus]

What was that. Gerrard (from the right side) does a forward pass but it was like a pass back to the German keeper.

Podolski is an idiot, shooting when England were cut apart by a breakaway.

 

[perseus]

Gerrard on the left when defending (O'Sullivan position in Albion terms) and Frank Lampard is playing deeper (Brain Horton position). Gerrard more central when we go forward through Milner. Why don't we attack on the left? We do now through Rooney, but there was nobody for him to pass to. Lampard going forward on the right and gets a free kick.

Free `kick edge of pen ... ... hurts the wall!

 

[Acker79]

Upson has been a bit nervy in these last few minutes. Gerrard is all over the place (in a good way)

 

[auschr]

whataaa goal!!

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Shit and bollocks

 

[zego]

Guess who's scored first ......... AGHHHHHHHH

 

[Acker79]

Upson should have tried falling back holding his face.

What is going on with our defence?

 

[Spicy]

That was easy for them - did James take his eye off the ball - yep I think so!

 

[perseus]

Upson done for pace by Klose on an up and under 0-1. But Carragher would not have done any better.

 

[zego]

Don't worry - we like winning the hard way - just see!

 

[Spicy]

Perhaps he's an atheist and/or republican? Or maybe he's a really bad singer and doesn't want to sing in public?

Maybe he has a brain the size of a pea and cannot remember the words or maybe he just doesn't want to. Whatever it is he should get over it and sing his little heart out.

 

[defrocked priest]

Upson and Johnson, sort it out Cappello before the Huns net another.

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

50th goal for Klose

 

[Acker79]

Defoe seems a bit half-hearted coming back, and lightweight when trying to win the ball.

 

[Helter]

That's that then, we're out. Bloody players should be ashamed.
