We drew against the European Champions and a tough Ireland side and had the easiest game by far in the final game. Not quite the situation this time.

England are shocking so far.

Before last nights game kicked off a few stats that came up was algeria had nt scored for six games and that was a penalty,also ireland beat them in dublin 3-0 got the stellas out ,sat back and waited for a goal fest???????

England really are shocking i dont think that current crop would beat warrington town on cantilever park!!

You're absolutely right, it's not the same.

How on earth we can still qualify and make something from this, I do not know.

I think it's time to brave Fabio, find a way to get the best out of Rooney & Gerrard for starters. I'd also look to accomadate J.Cole as without putting him forward as some sort of messiah he's at least comfortable with the ball at his feet which others don't look presently.

4-2-3-1

James, Johnson, Dawson, Terry, A.Cole, Barry, Carrick, Gerrard, Lampard, J.Cole, Rooney.

The best thing that can happen to English football, is for us to lose on wednesday..A win only papers over the cracks. People are now starting to realise that the the players are just not good enough at the highest level and that Rooney will only become world-class when he becomes disciplined.

ps/ sack the FA and all its hangers' on. Brian Clough saw this years ago, that's why he never got the job.

we need gerrard in the middle alot of the time last night ashley cole was preety much a left winger as gerrard wouldnt stay there, get joe cole on the left side and put gerrard behind rooney also i dont think lennon is doing anything good from that right side give wright phillips a start. Shows that our two best wingers are the ones that aint even in the squad ( walcott and johnson)

Never mind England. Watch Ghana smash the Aussies this arvo....

We lost the World Cup the moment Wayne Bridge's missus popped next door to borrow a bowl of sugar IMO. The squad don't look like they want to play as a team. All cohesion has disappeared, and I don't think its coincidence that they haven't really played well since the story broke.

Come on the Serbs..Shock result v's Germany...

with a little helping hand from the ref lol

pity we cant dock this hopeless shower a couple of million that these s have creamed off whilst pretending to be top class footballers...then again they`d probably refuse to play for their country if that was the case...over paid,over rated bunch of prima donnas

COME ON

Score Predictions for Today:

Slovakia 2 -2 Paraguay
Italy 3 -1 New Zeland
Brazil 2 -1 Ivory Coast

Edited for accuracy

It wouldn't suprise me TBH.

top of the group, just those pesky all whites to beat!

Well Peckerwood, good game from your lads today

Another shock later when Honduras beat Spain

Good win for portugal 7-0!

We tend not to mess about.

What are people's employers doing? Are you watching it at work? Having to take the time off? Closing early? Not able to watch because of work? Throwing a sickie?

work is promoting shift swaps more than usual as its better to have someone come in rather than be short when they 'phone in sick'.

Personally, I enjoy the peace and quiet.

Closing early to let anyone who wants watch the match

I'm expecting work to be dead as not many people are likely to call us while the match is on so I'm looking forward to a relaxing couple of hours.
