Gemmill 46103 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Your predictions, ladies and gentleman, please. I'm going for a 3-1 win. England to beat the blond puffs for the first time since 1968! I'm also boldly predicting that Walcott will come on and score a late goal, with Owen and Lampard grabbing the others for England. How's that for precision? I gather the kid with the pigtail isn't going to be playing, so my hopes for that to be ripped off along with a piece of his scalp have been put on hold.

Guest alex Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I fancy a draw. Hopefully we might play well though. As long as we get a point the performance is more important I reckon, as a win or draw will see us top the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will defend like cnuts to be sure as they always do and huff and puff a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6700 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I honestly think we'll give Sweden a hiding from hell, 3 or 4 nil - they're not the same outfit they used to be.... Sadly, this will result in the press going overboard saying that we've beaten the Swedes for the first time in god knows how long and suddenly they'll have us capable of beating everyone and that we might as well take the trophy home now! (even more so than already!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally 0 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 1-1, it'll be crap as usual. We'll get Germany in the 2nd Round and get beat, as Germany go on to win the tournament. Heard it here first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46103 Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 If Germany can't beat Ecuador they won't win the tournament tbh. Looking at how the draw could shape up, I'd almost prefer Germany in the Second Round. I don't think England will get past Holland or Argentina in the QFs, so it would be nice to have at least knocked the Jormans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a shamen-esque transe. That and I keep getting interrupted by work. 0-0 though. As good as FACT. Hill's would stop taking bets if they had someone monitoring this site.

themags 0 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 dull 2 nil win for england, with us taking an early lead then deciding to defend for 80 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7182 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Owen needs to get his finger out cos if he has a shit game today he wont be seeing much more of the world cup. And if he doesnt give walcott 30minutes then sven must be daft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnz0r 0 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I'm predicting a 1 - 0 win for us, I suspect it will be a boring game with us defending for the most part and I would like to see Walcott get the nod and have a canny game but I highly doubt that Sven will give him the chance.

TheInspiration 1 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 We shouldn't treat this too much as a friendly. We do want to face Ecuador after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I would rather play Germany 151085[/snapback] I can see where you're coming from, Ecuador have looked canny. But I think you'd be a barnpot to want to play Germany, in Germany. It's like saying you'd rather get an average looking Man U away in the third round of the FA cup than a good Norwich. If needs be I'd start banging in the own goals to avoid Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46103 Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 Imagine knocking them out in Munich though. It would be class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadil 0 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 No way would I want the Germans in the next round. As someone stated, it's like having the choice between facing an average-looking Man Utd or an in-form second division team. Ecuador will suit England's style of play, they play an attacking game with two out-and-out forwards and I'm sure England would have no problems at all against them.

Guest alex Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Would rather play Ecuador on the basis that England always lose to the first big team they play in the knockout phase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I'm expecting more boring dross, shit tactics, mindless negative substitutions. Probably a draw, maybe a defeat, at best a late winner against the run of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
