Thot you were screaming about England
I never said England will win the worldcup nor did I say they can't win it.
They have a good chance of winning it was what I said.
I'll place them in the second tier of team that can with it along with the likes of Spain,Portugal,Holland.

TBH England have an impressive sqaud depth , the question is "will the England players turn up and match their own

EPL level of performance". if they do, they might just win the trophy, however, I highly doubt that as they have always performed

below expectations in tornys

TBH

Tell me about the goal keeping situation the entire defence line given we have about 3 months to the WC

JT is off form same with Rio. Gerrard also to a large extent

RB? LB? Striker? So what do they have

The only thing impressive about England is Wayne Rooney and Cappelo. Dispute this.

I disagree.

England have better defenders than any other country in the world.
Goalkeepers are gash though and the midfield could be better without Lampard and Gerrard.
Those two should NEVER play together. . . .What they have got left working for them is their history not their present form.

I will still back England to worry Spain, Germany and Brazil in a tournament IF all their players are FIT.

Will you sharrap dia
Granted, England's goalkeepers are at best good/average however I still think the likes of Rob Green & co can do decent jobs
JT would soon regain his form(class is permanent,Form is temporary) and Rio would be fit for the worldcup
LB = A.Cole(if fit), Stephen Warnock, Baines
RB = Glen Johnson(if fit), Wes Brown

Lampard and Gerrard are useless like i have been saying on this forum.
England's best midfielders in a 2-man midfield are Hargreaves and Carrick. Barry is close but Gerrard is rubbish in that role.
Lampard has regressed and you saw how pathetic he was against Egypt. See the difference Carrick made when he came on!

No way is England's best midfield combo Hagreaves and Carrick.
It's Hagreaves and Gerrard/Lampard(I believe on of them should be used as a super sub)
Omitting both Lamps and stevie G is like the following countries not having the players I'll list below

Germany - Ballack
Brazil - Kaka
Italy- Pirlo
Argentina - Veron
Spain - Xavi

You are caught in their hype.
The players you listed all have the positional discipline to stay where their managers want them to be.
Gerrard is the most useless in the midfield. The only role that suits him well is playing in the hole(behind Rooney/Torres).

Against Egypt, he kept drifting to the centre thus leaving an ocean of space in front of Baines and Rooney had to be covering for him.
Lampard does not have the legs any more. Age is catching up with him and he had a mare last night. Coulda said it was one of those days but his performances for Chelsea in the past few games told me Lampard has lost 50% of his efficiency.

How can you even compare Veron, Xavi and Pirlo to Gerrard/Lampard.
These overrated English twats cannot hit a 5-yard pass accurately, never mind hitting 20 yards which Carrick immediately brought to the game.
Hargo and Carrick will form a perfect defensive shield to England's back four with Lennon, Gerrard and Ashley Young supporting Wazza.

When fit and in top form should be the key word. Have you seen JT of the past 3 weeks? vs Everton, Inter and Citeh.

Rio has played less than 1/3 of games this season, A.Cole is out, WBridge is still mourning his baby momma. So who are the defenders left? Lescott, Richards, Woodgate,, Ledley "injured" King

and the midfield could be better without Lampard and Gerrard

Thankfully No coach would bench them so we are to see another woeful performance with Gerrard Sky diving and Lampard aiming shots at 44th stand.

Hargreaves the best and most Intelligent English defender is in Medical School for his MBBS so what do we have

There are still over 90 days left to the World Cup.
Enough time for unfit players to recover. Hargo might even make it.

Rio, A.Cole and Hargo will make the trip.
It's not about what happens now, but what happens then.
Torres. Villa and Xavi can also get crocked before the mundial. . . . .It's a world of uncertainties.


Thankfully No coach would bench them so we are to see another woeful performance with Gerrard Sky diving and Lampard aiming shots at 44th stand.

Capello would do what will benefit his credentials.
He took off Lampard on Wednesday, that's a good sign he might condemn him to the bench if he doesn't roll his sleeves.


Hargreaves the best and most Intelligent English defender is in Medical School for his MBBS so what do we have

Hargreaves will play against Citeh reserves next week.

How many days before Wcup squads are released and Hargreaves would still be with the reserves.

When would he get top flight action after almost 2 years on the sidelines

On his day, he is light years ahead of the pretenders like Barry, Lampard and Stevie Meh.

If I was I won't have ranked England in the second tier of teams I believe have a chance of winning the Worldcup.
Both Gerrard and Lampard are quality players, I've seen it myself.

He drifted into the center cuz they is his natural position. The dude ain't a winger/right sided midfielder.
I agree age is catching up with lamps, hence why if I were Capello, i'll start Hargo and Gerrard and leave Lamps on the bench(Imagine having a goalscoring Midfielder as your super sub)

On them being overrated, well it depends on your yardstick. Some peeps also say Ballack is overrated. Also i've seen Lampard and Gerrard especially hit 40+ yards passes.
I reiterate, England's best midfield combo is Gerrard and Hargreaves.

Both Gerrard and Lampard are quality players, I've seen it myself.

They are both quality players IN THEIR CLUBS where their respective teams are built around them.
The English team is a different proposition. Capello has decided to build it around Rooney(one of reasons Defoe might not make the trip to SA).

Gerrard has Mascherano and Aquilani doing the dirty job for him in Liverpool.
Lampard can count on Mikel and Essien to make those runs in Chelsea. England don't have those water-carriers if Capello deploys 4-4-2.
For that reason, Lampard and Gerrard are useless to the current set-up.


He drifted into the center cuz they is his natural position. The dude ain't a winger/right sided midfielder.

It's lack of quality.
Iniesta will play anywhere Guardiola/Del Bosque drafts him to play. Rooney will play anywhere to help his team.
Gerrard has no discipline and thus not good enough to start unless Capello dumps Heskey and play Gerrard behind Rooney.


I agree age is catching up with lamps, hence why if I were Capello, i'll start Hargo and Gerrard and leave Lamps on the bench(Imagine having a goalscoring Midfielder as your super sub)

Even if Hargo is fit, i wouldn't trust Gerrard in a 2-man midfield.
He is too technically inept to function effectively in such set-up. Alonso left Liverpool and Gerrard couldn't form a formidable partnership with Macherano and get Liverpool to the 4th place. How pathetic?


I wasn't comparing them per se, rather I was showing you how dumb it will look if Capello left out the both of em'.
On them being overrated, well it depends on your yardstick. Some peeps also say Ballack is overrated. Also i've seen Lampard and Gerrard especially hit 40+ yards passes.

England's best away midfield performance under Capello was in Berlin when England tore the Nazis a new butthole.
Lampard/Gerrard missed the game but you need to see how Carrick and Barry pissed on the Germans.
Ballack is not overrated for Germany. He will always deliver.


I reiterate, England's best midfield combo is Gerrard and Hargreaves.

Lampard is better than Gerrard so the best midfield combo cannot include Stevie G.
I will take Carrick, Barry, Lampard, Milner before Gerrard to partner Hargreaves.

I beg to differ.
Hagreaves can play the Water carrier role effectively so can Barry(obviously not as good as Hargo)
Moreover Gerrard is a fanastic defender in his own right so he and his midfield partner can easily alternate positions(one goes forward, the other sits)

No way, Hargo is his Ideal Midfield partner.
Hargo energy, marking and tackling would easily blend in with Gerrard's game.
Alonso's departure is not the sole reason for liverpool's dismal form this season.
Gerrard and Most especially Torres's injury are big factors.

Of course Ballack ain't overrated. He has always delivered from Bayer leverkusen to Munich to Germany.

Torres/Gerrard have played more games this season than the last one when they finished SECOND(4 points below the Champions).
It's simple logic. The departure of Alonso shouldn't have been a big worry if Messiah Gerrard can play as a CM like you suggested.
Did it happen? Why did Benitez shell £20 milla on Aquilani(a certified crock) if Gerrard was good enough in that CM role?

Against all odds, they played in 2 European finals back to back, they have won 3 league titles in a row.
Without any shadow of doubt, Vidic and Rio were the best defenders in Europe in 2007-2009. Gerrard has never been the best midfielder in this country let alone rule in Europe.

Penalty shoot-out is psychology and taking chances laid for you on a plate!
Some kicks are more important than the others.
When Berbatov missed his pen against Everton last season, the miss wouldn't have been important cos Tim Cahill missed his kick first.
Berba missing his pen didn't give Everton any advantage so some kicks have more importance than the other.

Let me take you back to England V Portugal.

Simao scored for Portugal, Lampard missed!
Viana missed his kick, Hargreaves scored his(there was parity here cos Hargreaves had rectified Lampard's error).

Petit missed his kick and the opportunity availed itself for Gerrard to muscle in and put England in front but. . . . .
Stevie G missed his kick woefully thus giving the advantage back to Portugal from which Postiga scored and went on to win it.

It should also be noted that the first team to take penalties have a big advantage cos of the 2-goal margin schitzo.
Many shoot-outs end 5-3 and the losing team don't get the opportunity of taking their last pen cos it wouldn't matter in the end.

Gerrard knows all these things and he still messed up. . . .
So how can you defend Gerrard here when he was the serial w@nker that didn't make it count?


I guess it was Hamman who scored the header that got liverpool back into the match? undecided
And it was also Hamman who won the penalty, right? undecided

Hamann changed the dynamics of the game.
His introduction stopped Milan hurting Liverpool's defence thus giving Liverpool the freedom to go forward and hurt Milan.


It was Ronaldo who won you lot the F.A Cup not bloody Fletcher grin

10 secs of madness from Sulley Muntari. . .!!! He just came on as a sub but bags a red card. Penalty to Catania.

Catania 2 - 1 Inter!

Suddenly the race for the scudetto is wide open.

OOps wait. . . its Catania 3 - 1 Inter.

This is what Chelsea should do next week. Get behind the back 4. . .the goals will come.
