***Official England v USA thread***

[WhingForPresident]

Green is SHIT.
Should be:

James

Johnson
King
Terry
Cole

Lennon
Lampard
Milner
J. Cole

Gerrard

Rooney

 

[Giraffe]

I think he will play:

Green

Johnson
Terry
King
Cole

Lennon
Lampard
Gerrad
Cole

Rooney
Heskey

 

[perth seagull]

Is Barry going to be fit?

 

[nwgull]

BBC seemed to think on last night's telly that Gerrard would play on the left with Carrick as holding. Don't know where their info comes from.

 

[Postman Pat]

how long will it be before rooney gets booked

I think the press have gone overboard, as usual, about Rooney getting 'targeted'. What do they think happens in the premier league every week? He must have heard everything by now.

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

1-1 – but just saw Steve McManaman on ESPN so that’s probably the kiss of death for us.

 

[Spider]

How amazing would it be if for once we were the team that laid down an intimidating and phoenomonal performance that makes the rest of the world go "God, the English are going to be good". Won't happen though!

 

[Giraffe]

That seems quite likely. Green looks a certain starter.

O dear, Carrick

 

[Acker79]

Flippin eck, what is it with you lot, am I the only one excited!
or is that why I am a little premature?

I remember a few match day threads starting the day before last season.

 

[ebfc1]

I think


James

Johnson
Terry
Carragher
Cole

Lennon
Lampard
Gerrad
Cole

Rooney
Heskey


And England to win 2-0, Rooney and Gerrard the scorers.

I think it will. I'm expecting at least 3 or 4 nil.

Its time to

SPANK THE YANKS

Scorers: Rooney, Carrick, possibly Crouch

 

[Beach Hut]

Getting quite nervous now

 

[auschr]

it doesn't matter - england are doomed. the combined power of donovan and dempsey will be too much. over hyped rooney will go back to being a club player as he never turns out for england and the rest of england team are rubbish. i just hope usa don't embarrass england too much.

Carry on with that kind of negative crap on an England match day and I'll ban you

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Cmon England!

I collect a tidy $266 if you can beat the septic tanks!

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Carrick really needs to sort himself out

 

[perseus]

I don't think Capello has got any option but to play Carrick.

When is the team announced?

 

[1066familyman]

1-1

Nervous start from both teams. Both teams to go on and win their other two games to qualify from the group no problem.
