Well the other thread was a joke, people were saying England played crap, we did not. It was a very commanding performance in which Lampard and Rooney were star players for me. Owens form - It isn't any worse than it ever is, however he normally scores a goal and everyone praises him, even though in the match he does NOTHING else. VERY alike Nistleyrooy did today!
In the second half England didn't really back off and defend that much, we still dominated the second half and Silvester should have been given marching orders. Also no matter what Beckham says it wasn't a clean connection, he took a divot out of the ground with it, and even if he didn't it wasn't well placed at all.
Now onto Englands keeper crisis - it is a CRISIS. David James was at fault for both goals, the first free kick was not 'world class' it went into the back of the net, not the sides of the goal, any reasonable keeper would have had it covered, you do NOT get wrong footed on free kicks. Then the penalty, what WAS he doing? He didn't need to come out, Henry was already at an acute angle... and for the penalty who honestly thought he would save it? I was praying he saw red because Robo had a lot more chance at saving it.
I doubt Scholes will score because I doubt he will play, the fact that we are going to play Hargreves is a bit of a joke, we should play Bridge on the left so he and Cole can keep on attacking AND defend together. I recon it will be a 2-2 draw I am afraid, however what everyone is failing to realise is that 2 DRAWS will take us through!
