England vs Slovenia - Discussion Thread - K.O 3pm

[Wildcat!]

But sure they'll only be the first hurdle. Then they'll have Argentina to contend with after that. And no, on that form they wont beat any German team that they face.

You never know in the world cup! ANd as long as you have a solid defense, you have a chance in knockout stages! The only thing is, they usually choke on penalties. BUt there is a first time for everythning!

I dont know! I think England has a chance.

[King Gizzard]

Course we do

But England don't have a solid defence, that's the whole thing. Slovenia should have scored.

Germany is not as good asa people think they are. Yeah they had a good first game against 10 man australia, but they arent that great! This is one of their worest teams ever. People were hipping them up for one game. Ghana is more dangerous than german7y to be honest. The bad thing though, is you probably face argentina if you make it to top 8.

Germany will rip Ghana apart tonight.

[30stone]

We played great what the hell..

All we needed to do is finish chances if we can get that sorted.. we should do well..

[Ninastar]

Hehehe I was actually crying tears of happiness for USA almost as much as for England, they SO deserved to go through!

haha I wanted to. My dad went like mental. He's American you see haha.

[30stone]

Yet our defence was awesome and made 4 amazing tackles.

[Wildcat!]

LOL! SOmeone wrote this blog, bitching about the USA dissalowed goal, before the game even ended. HEadline on Yahoo!
How embarassing!"

Totally agree, Germany were awful in their last game and the first game was just a one off - I wouldn't mind playing them

If Germany were awful in their last game I don't know what you could call England in this match.

Are you serious? You were playing against a poor poor side and they'll still had 2 or 3 great chances to level the match. That shouldn't happen.

Honduras got 2 good chances against spain and they are ****e!


That happens, our defence was solid today. considering injuries.

[Wildcat!]

Germany will rip Ghana apart tonight.

yeah, ok then!

[30stone]

Germany will win imo they will do what we did, realise they need to win.. thats what they will do.

[red]

Germany WILL win their group guaranteed! so England WILL face the Germans am expecting a KILLER GAME

Oh come on guys, at least be realistic about things. That Slovenia side aren't good and in club terms it would be like Chelsea or United playing a division 2 or 3 side.

As for Spain, they should have beaten Honduras by about 5 goals and were totally in control of that match. England never were.

[Vicky.]

You know, that is the first match I have EVER watched all the way through :laugh:

Well done England :D

You sound bitter...

We were in control we dominated that game??

[Kerry]

Much much better. Feel a little bad for Slovenia going out right at the last minute but hey, WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[setanta]

I'm not bitter - just don't understand how you can say that England played well and that you're looking forward to facing a bigger team based on that performance, that's all. Slovenia vs England is like a Div.2 team vs Chelsea or something.

[setanta]

Wow, watching the highlights of the other match now. Should have been a goalfest.

As Dunphy said, we don't want to see England go out, cos it's like watching a soap opera that keeps on giving. If they'd ha' went out today it would just have been a dud.

[Angus]

But they didn't:hugesmile:

[InOne]

Well done England! We'll forget the groups and we'll move on!

That's very true. Makes things more interesting.

[Kerry]

Well done England! We'll forget the groups and we'll move on!

Are you celebrating? I am :D I'm gonna enjoy it.

[Locke.]

Get ****ing in!!!! Not bothered who we get now:

Serbia: Easy win

Ghana: Should be a easy win but they have the home backing and are playing quite well, so would be a good game.

Germany: Tough game but England vs Germany are always great matches.

[Kerry]

I know it sounds daft but I think we actually play better against the tougher teams.
