England Croatia Euro 04 as if it's live

[Steel Icarus]

Really looking forward to this, albeit with a lot of nerves. We need a draw, but will we play for one?

Really hope Rooney can carry on from how good he was in patches against the Swiss. Still don't like Scholes on the left, but we'll see.

Predictions? I'm going nervy 1-0 England, Rooney with the goal.

Wish I could watch, TVL are onto us and knocking our door pretty much daily.

 

[Steel Icarus]

England unchanged, as expected. I wish Ledley King could get fit. He's the best defender we've got imo.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Two really boring anthems

 

[Steel Icarus]

Collina!

 

[Steel Icarus]

Need to get off to a solid start. Nothing silly, give nothing away for the first twenty minutes.

channel?

 

[Badgers]

This could go either way

No Sean Wright Philips or Defoe ?

No Sean Wright Philips or Defoe ?

Neither in the squad mate

 

[Steel Icarus]

I don't like 442, two strikers up top who don't play well together and no hiding midfielder. I'd leave Owen out and have Hargreaves in front of the centre backs

 

[Steel Icarus]

The silver ball is nice but it looks tiny for some reason.

 

[Steel Icarus]

It's amazing how good Rooney is at making space at such a young age. Such potential to be England's number ten for years to come

We're playing ok but there's not enough invention. And with all four midfielders attacking all the time I'm very worried Croatia will catch us on the break. We can't just expect to outscore everyone.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Come on Becks!

 

[Steel Icarus]

What a waste

 

[Argonia]

Fucking hell what a line-up

 

[Steel Icarus]

What's the point of Scholes? Never scores for England, totally out of position

In 2004?

Or did I misinterpret the thread title

 

[Steel Icarus]

Good save Jamo

 

[Steel Icarus]

Yes!

 

[Badgers]

I never stopped believing

 

[Steel Icarus]

Great player Scholes, always said so

 

[Steel Icarus]

Terrific vision from Rooney to pick him out
