Yipchaa!
Both those goals were pinball mess-arounds; if they were playing us they'd have gone in for us

Well, we may not have been too encouraged by our performance against Mexico, but we did better than Italy.

Saw abit of the spain game today, the winning goal was great, nothing to do with the swerve of the ball i dont think. They had to wait till 84mins to get it though.

We may have a similar problem with Rio Ferdinand.
But perhaps this will balance out.

With a mirrored pitch, perhaps....
I do think Lennon is the most exciting England player.

Heskey wears down defenders.... sometimes those on his own team.

I saw a few American players on the news, acting like they're the underdogs. Very fucking humble they were. It's a tactic and I hope Fabio will make it clear that we have to give it 100% to beat these colonial chaps.

Only if he plays on the left flank...Lennon's gonna fookin terrorise him.

It will be Joe Cole on the left ..... probably.

Yes, Capello is very unpredictable.
Quite formidable wide set up though.... A Cole & Joe Cole on the left.... and Johnson & Lennon on the right.
Heskey and Rooney up front with Gerrard and Lampard behind them.

Without any bias, if the American players were in the Premiership and were English, would Fabio choose them to play in the England squad? Even Donovan wouldn't get into Capello's team.
I'm not saying that the game will be easy, but on paper the Americans are at a significant disadvantage. They may have elevated their form recently, but like Greece it won't last.

Pleasant and unpatronising
Of course, Greece have won a tournament lately, even if hardly any of them would get a game in the Premiership.
Almost makes you think there's more to it.
