Doesn't matter. We win the group, and we've got Equador next :).

Three wins is better than two wins and a draw.

[thetechroom]

we came top still :)

yup, all that matters really

[qdave]

Im sure Equador will beat england!! 100%

are you kidding? tehre is no way of that happening!

[PaulCabby]

Netherlands v Argentina :drool:

[Y2Stu]

So near but so far, at least we played better then the previous 2 games!

[Martyn]

The first half performance a lot better than the second, the two goals we conceded where down to terrible defending. Two injuries as well :(.

I am a bit wary of Ecuador, as they are a better team than people make out and we traditionally dont fare well against South American team's :/.

how is it? when we still came top, we would of came top if we won. Yer its nice to win, but in this situation, we dont need to win.

Well Sweden and England both qualify, so Sweden get Germany huh? That'll be a good one to watch.

I completely agree with you mate. I just hope Owen's injury isn't too-serious but it surely doesn't look that way :(

Tonight's first half performance was OK, the second half was just poor. We are MUCH better than this and we need to start playing a hell of a lot better if we are wanting to beat the best e.g. Brazil/Germany.

[kaffra]

congrats to the swedish player Allback on the 2000th WC goal

[mikebiacsi]

Bring on Equador, hopefully by then they will have sorted out the defending of set pieces, every time sweeded had a corner englands defence went to pieces. It could have been 3-2 to sweeden had it not been for robinsons reflex save.

Hopefully they pick up their game, its must win now lads. Draws don't cut it anymore.....

[RadishTM Veteran]

We came top, so that's all that matters.

Radish?

[BigGiantHead]

Netherlands v Argentina :drool:

I've been waiting for this one. Hope the Netherlands come away with the win, though with the way the Argentinians have been playing, it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Still, I can always hope. If Holland finish 2nd, they'll probably face Mexico, I think.

[Jonezy712]

Yeah, fingers crossed about Owen! Joe Cole's 1st goal - what a SCREAMER! Haha, We were unlucky to conceed that last Swedish goal, but we came top, end of :)

Are we ever going to see Theo play??? :angry: Sven should never have picked him if he's not ready to play, i bet the other strikers he dropped for Theo are angry.

Tonights performance was awfull set piece wise but we passed it quite well, as much as im glad Gerrard scored i wish Sven would have brought Lennon on instead just in case Stevie had got booked (thankfully he didn't). Overall god help us if we play like this against Ecuador on saturday cause they'll rip us apart. :no:

[BigGiantHead]

When will Theo Walcott play? Was he even on the bench today? I thought Sven might have played him today to give some practice.

It wouldn't have mattered about a booking. They are cancelled for the next round anyway

[PaulCabby]

Yeah he was on the bench.

[Orange]

Man that England game was good in first half i mean England scoring was good but then just went down hill. How they gonna win this cup is beyond me.

[Romario Brazil]

No quarters for England.

[Elliot B.]

No quarters for England.

You're not childish, are you? :rolleyes:
