gerrard is my favorite footballer. that was a beauty.

never been a big fan of beckham, but his touches on the ball are pretty amazing. so many nice balls served up, with no one able to finish. that cross to krouch was absolutely perfect.

good effort by trinidad.

100% agreed :yes:

It took them over 50odd minutes but when they woke up england were by far the better team. Although they sent too many people up which left them weak in defence.

Aaron Lennon had a batter match than Rooney imo, he stretched them on the wing which in turn helped grab the first goal. And what a goal by Gerrard. :woot:

Ah great result! The points are all that matters. I agree, Lennon made a hell of a difference. Without a doubt was a turning point in the match when he came on. Rooney not so much but without a doubt he increased the moral and stuff. Both Gerrard and Crouch played crap but the goals they scored were crackers.

Whats up with all the England stuff.

They played terrible. Even Sweden played better against T&T.

We were wondering all the game why they didnt play like they did on the first goal all the game, Crouch is really tall and they should take real advantage of that.

England won't do good in the playoffs if they play like this.

Time to sweden can step it up against Paraguay, but unfortuneatly im very doubtful of that :/

time will tell....

englands performance was lacking. crouch missed excellent oppertunities in the beginning, and gerrard only made the shot because he had less pressure, look at his shots from outside in this match and previous imo. in the end england pulled it together and i hope they can step it up

Liverpool v West Ham. FA Cup final 2006. 91st minute. 35 yard volley. 3-2 down.

It may also be worth mentioning his goal against Olympiakos, which kept us in the Champions League. Without that we would never of won the competition.

Gerrard is one of the best players in the world. Second perhaps behind Ronaldinho.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
