England vs Ukraine

[editor]

"It was gaping"

 

[dessiato]

Rooney should have had that

 

[Badgers]

Wayne

Good little bit of play there.

 

[friedaweed]

Almost pulled my hair out

 

[belboid]

Carroll would have had that.

 

[London_Calling]

It'd be 2-0 now with either Carroll (or Crouch) on the pitch. Square pegs and round holes atm.

 

[dessiato]

Is Rooney past his best now? He seems not to be as on the ball as he ought to be.

[friedaweed]

Another Krackow from Gerrard there

I'll let you know - when he gets something other than crosses delivered between centre backs.

What we needs is Barnes

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Get Wayne off & get Carroll on FFS!

THINGS YOU DON'T NORMALLY HEAR AT A UNITED GAME.

 

[dessiato]

Am I mis-hearing, but does the commentator keep talking about "getting the ball to the white player"?

 

[Badgers]

At the moment I'd put money on this game going to Ukraine rather than England.

Nah. Ukraine are getting the best of it but not looking great in/around the England box.

 

[tommers]

Am I mis-hearing, but does the commentator keep talking about "getting the ball to the white player"?

Yeah I heard him say 'and the number of white players in front of him ' earlier, but he meant wide obviously. Unfortunate pronunciation.

 

[Badgers]

Parker

 

[tommers]

Get Carroll on. Wayne is looking well rusty.

 

[dessiato]

Nah. Ukraine are getting the best of it but not looking great in/around the England box.

True, but with the pressure they are putting on England in the box they only need to get lucky once. Whereas England seem to be pressing less hard and less well.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Not too sure how much of this England evening out I can watch. Sunday fucking league.

 

[purenarcotic]

This is not the greatest I've seen England play.

 

[editor]

Rooney almost always buckles on the big England games.

 

[Badgers]

This is not the greatest I've seen England play.

Yup. I think that England can raise their game more than Ukraine can though. So far Pele has not had a lot of impact has he.

 

[belboid]

Just checked the Euro 2012 app for the stats.

Under highlights it simply reads: 'The game has started'.

 

[tommers]

Rooney almost always buckles on the big England games.

He's not played for a month.

Still 0-0. Not looked too bad against a home team. All to play for next half.

 

[scooter]

I think it's going well. Ukraine are the home team and England only need a draw. They don't look that dangerous and Rooney'll probably score in a bit

 

[friedaweed]

Yeah I heard him say 'and the number of white players in front of him ' earlier, but he meant wide obviously. Unfortunate pronunciation.

Reminds me of my fav Roy Harper track that.

"I hate the wide man"

 

[ruffneck23]

well.... we aint that good are we ? a couple of flashes but thats about it, and get parker, milner and that bloody band off!!!

 

[Badgers]

No bookings
No injuries
Older players doing okay
Keeper solid

Just need to get better possession in their half.

 

[friedaweed]

Yeah knew it was wise to sort the ironing first half. I think the next 45 in both games is going to be interesting with Sweden 3-0 up
