World Cup 2010

Correct. So the question is, why isn't Joe Cole watching from his armchair at home? I would have taken Johnson and Walcott before Joe Cole. Not because they are consistent or experienced, but both would have made much more sense in terms of Capellos ethos or supposed ethos.

France v South Africa, lots of chat about France's troubles? Whats the team news for South Africa? No, lets look at Townsend's (Ireland 71 caps) wild guess at Capello's team for tomorrow.

Milner is good but lennon doesn't need replacing. I just don't understand what joe cole has done wrong.

BBC World Cup coverage; Preview, game, analysis, a PATRONISING documentary piece about School kids watching the game projected onto a dirty bedsheet/Soweto/Apartheid/North Korea 1966, 2 minutes of England, funny bit end.

ITV World Cup coverage; Preview, adverts, england, adverts, players come out, adverts, first half, adverts, 5 mins of analysis mentioning England at any point, second half, adverts, 5 mins of analysis, 10 minutes of talking about England, James Corden being the c**t he is for half an hour.

Anyway...

I think S.Africa have got a decent chance this afternoon, so hopefully Uruguay-Mexico isn't a convenient draw.

looking good so far, just need a couple more goals to work it for SA.

[oafc0000]

Poor SA.... So close...

[eFestivals]

So .... was France today what England will be like tomorrow?

I very much hope that England bang in an early goal, cos their nerves will grow if they don't.

It's either gonna be another dismal performance, or they'll fire on all cylinders. Let's hope it's the latter.

I'm expecting it to be a drab 1-0 win for England, we'll score by a dodgy deflection or something and then score some luck and get Ghana or Serbia in the round of 16.

[rexclark]

Quite enjoyed the SA vs France game today. SA were very unlucky and looked good going forward but the French looked abysmal.

[Langdale Wolf]

The trouble is if england get either ghana or serbia the poor perfromances will be forgotten and the arrognace and complacency fueled by the media who think england should only lose to the likes of brazil, germany, aregentina etc will return. I think serbia in particular are a very good side and both would fancy their chances of knocking england out.

[pink_triangle]

Unless England buck their ideas up, there won't be a single side in the last 16 who will fear us.

Alarm set for 2am. Better be worth it. Then start work at 6.30am. I'm gonna be feeling like shit tomorrow, just hope its not a waste of time.

[pink_triangle]

Any predictions for today, mine is england to win 2-0, Usa to win 1-0. England to win the group and USA 2nd. Then germany and serbia both to win. Which will mean despite the problems england and germany have had we will be left with england v serbia and usa v germany just as everyone expected.

[brighteyes]

We need Milner back, he's the only player we've got who can consistently cross the ball well.

[Purple Monkey]

COME ON!!!!!!

[Purple Monkey]

And we're through!

Painful to watch as always.

England and USA go through!

[brighteyes]

Great performance except we need to score more goals. Milner and Ashley Cole were superb.

Well done USA too, they deserve to go through for sure.

[funkymp]

milner played well, they'll be getting a flight home soon though - don't fancy them against either of ghana / germany or serbia and if they did get through that - argies will rip the english defence to shreds in the quarters (that's if the argies beat mexico who look alright)

[gratedenini]

f**kin rhubarb marrer... this will have given us a massive boost.. if nowt else--we are difficult to beat... I`d take any of the 3 from tonights games.

The Diegos might be another matter... but what fun that would be wipin the f**kin smile off the Fat,druggy,twenty ring wearing Marrer-Cheato.

INGER- LAND INGER-LAND INGER-LAND...... INGER-LAND INGER-LAND INGER- LAAAAND

As usual the media goes ott when england win, just as they do when they lose. I heard someone on the radio talk about milner looking world class today. England are playing a country who would probably be in the championship, so a bit of perspective needed. Im glad USA go through as I think they will be more competitive in the last 16. Think its a bit of a blow that late usa goal as I think it will end up a harder route.

WHo do people think would be the best team for england, in the next round. I think germany would suit englands style of play more, however englands record in the world cup against the big nations is abysmal. Against serbia, england could end up with little of the ball. If ENgland scored first, serbia could implode, however serbia score first and they could spend a lot of time chasing shadows. Ghana on paper seem the easiest but are unpredictbale and in their home continent. I have a feeling whoever england play they will get a narrow win. It just seems fate for england to play the argies. The media would go into overdrive with the chance to avenge the hand of god.
