England Croatia Euro 04 as if it's live

[Steel Icarus]

Bloody hell! What a goal!

 

[Steel Icarus]

Must have dozed off through half time

 

[Steel Icarus]

I'd take that. Greece in the quarters, it's virtually a bye

 

[The39thStep]

Neither in the squad mate

That’s why I said it, bad squad selection. Fuck knows why Phil Neville was included as well .

 

[Steel Icarus]

Scholes playing really well. Get him playing and he can nail down an England place for World Cup 06 and maybe Euro 08

 

[Steel Icarus]

Looking shaky at the back tbh

 

[Steel Icarus]

Croatia getting further up the pitch. Chance of a break for us maybe

 

[Steel Icarus]

Yeeeeesss!!!!

 

[Steel Icarus]

That was brilliant. A goal on the break as I predicted.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Joe Royle is right. Michael Owen needs to find his scoring boots. If anything happens to Rooney - god forbid - there aren't many good backups.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Er. That wasn't in the script

 

[Steel Icarus]

If it stays like it is we're playing hosts Portugal in the quarters. Should be ok, Deco is good but Figo and Rui Costa are past it.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Goal! That has to be it!

 

[Steel Icarus]

Bit surprised nobody else is here. Must be too engrossed in the game to be posting.

 

[Badgers]

Spoke too soon ffs

You ok hun?

 

[Steel Icarus]

What do we think? With Rooney playing the way he is plus all our other potential match-winners, we could win this tournament you know.

There is a lot more to come from this squad. Still not seen the best of Beckham or Gerrard.

Agreed. Not just this tourney but those to come. Imagine how many goals Rooney's going to score in International tournaments over the next decade and a bit!

 

[Steel Icarus]

Can't wait for Euro 96 in May. With home advantage I think we could win it.

It feels like we are building something special under Sven

They've got this young lad as well, who's meant to be quite useful.

I think if we persevere with Lampard and Gerrard in the middle it could work eventually.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Ah, we've all seen his type before. All tricks and hair gel. My guess is Ashley Cole will have him in his pocket, he'll go back to Portugal to play and we'll never hear from him again.

 

[stavros]

It's interesting that Moyes said that only Chelsea could afford Rooney. I'm sure he'll move there and carve out a fine career under that Maureen fellow. It might take some time, but luckily that Russian fella who owns them got plenty of patience.

 

[passenger]

Think we might go all the way.
