England sucks.

Being of Indian origin this is pretty awesome to watch, I'm not going to lie

Well it seems no sport is free of the classic horrible call. Wonder if instant replay is on the horizon for this so important sport?

England's center back position is already iffy since Ferdinand was injured before the games and now Carragher will miss the Slovenia game due to his two yellow cards.

 

[UKCowboysFan]

Well what can I say about England, apart from useless, absolutley useless.

You can sometimes carry the odd player who isn't having a good game, but in England's case it would be hard to find a player that did play well.

At the moment I almost hope that we don't win against Slovenia, because the sooner we are out, the sooner I can actually enjoy watching some football.

I think your coach spends to much time tasting wine and watching opera's.

As today was his birthday, I think he had sampled too much vino before the game. It looked like the players couldn't understand his team talks so just ran around doing nothing much for 90 mins

we would be in control of this group if it wasnt for that terrible call

Its all good. Win and we're in.

Sucks that I have to work though! I'll have to DVR that game, avoid this thread, and all other sports stations until that night.

Also, if they didn't give up two easy goals in the first half.

 

[joseephuss]

goals scored

That would be C on the list below.

The ranking of each team in each group will be determined as follows:

a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
b) goal difference in all group matches;
c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.
If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings will be determined as follows:
d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;
g) drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

I will make sure to PM you the results.

same here:laugh2:

If the U.S. draws with Algeria and England draws with Slovenia, and England scores exactly two more goals than the U.S., the U.S. and England would be even on all tiebreakers for second place. The tie would be broken by drawing lots ... aka, a coin flip.-ESPN
