Lampard - again - nearly!!!

Bit of panic just beginning to show in opposition ...

 

[The Wizard]

SUPERB. This is more like it. Gerrard should have walloped that I reckon rather than placing it.

That ball can't take a walloping, it moves too much.

 

[Timbo]

Obviously I'll need to check with the Sun in the morning, but we're looking very classy today!

 

[beorhthelm]

that pitch really is f***ing awful.

the England performance rather good.

 

[The Wizard]

Decent first half.

 

[thebazillionaire]

the Ball, The pitch, The same for both teams.

 

[Willow]

Average first half. Will still have to improve a lot if up against decent oppostion.

 

[Stoo82]

Much much better.

They look like they want to play football, let alone for England. Apart, I have to say, from Rooney, who just looks knackard.

 

[sydney]

unimpressive, milner and barry basic........rooney m.i.a again , i'd put cole on for milner and crouch on for rooney,he looks likes he needs electrodes attached to his bollocks,what the f*** is up with him,definitely not himself.

 

[Pot noodles for everyone]

Rooney has got to come off. He's been crap. The rest esp Barry, Johnson and Cole look sharp.

We actually look like we want this.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Defoe has been difference.

Playing it on floor, Rooney still needs to up it a bit.

Look dodgy at times at back

 

[Willow]

Looking at the highlights of the other game, only a matter of time before USA take the lead. We need more goals to top the group.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Have you stopped taking your happy pills willow ?

 

[sydney]

3 or 4 nil and rooney on the score sheet....start again on saturday/sunday.

 

[Acker79]

I want a second goal to give us breathing room. And if US get one, I want us to get a third.

 

[The Wizard]

Ridiculous ref.

 

[Willow]

Have you stopped taking your happy pills willow ?

Come on, Mum, nobody enjoys these do or die games, do they? For me it's much more fun supporting New Zealand, where expectations are zero.

 

[perseus]

Gerrard moved over to the right and Lampard was on the left for the disallowed goal. Gerrard is not doing the business on the left. He is compelled to cut in on his right foot and runs into trouble.

 

[Timbo]

Why wont Rooney pass to Milner? Twice now!
