I personally think England will win since Algeria didn't perform that well on their last game, 2-0 seems about right.

Fell free to discuss!

England should win 3-0. It's such an important game for England. They must win and win by a big margin. Because, it's very important to finish on top of Group C. If they finish on top, their route to the semi-final becomes much easier. They will then face Ghana in the last 16 and Mexico/Uruguay in the quarters. On the other hand, if they finish second in their group, they will face Germany and Argentina. The whole tournament depends on the outcome of this match. So, England should be very aggressive from the start.

Ouch :pinch: I know which route I'd prefer, that's painful :o Germany/Argentina are probably our two biggest rivals on the international stage, Germany for 1966 final/1990 semi final and the last 8 of euro 1996.. Argentina for the hand of god match in 1986/falklands war

Still, if we really do think of ourselves "the best team in the world" we should be able to beat both of those :p

5-1 to England I reckon.

Heres the team I think Capello should stick out:

Green

A.Cole

Terry

Upson

Carragher

J.Cole

Gerrard

Lampard

Lennon

Defoe

Rooney

Gives alot of fast, nice attacking options and Rooney has proven he can play well with Defoe. Or, alternatively stick Rooney by himself up front and use Gerrard as a link between midfield and the front, and using Gareth Barry (who is confirmed to play) as the defensive cover for midfield.

But Robbie Green MUST play.

Oh well thats it then. Robert Green will be destroyed mentally.

I think he's already destroyed mentally. But this puts as much pressure on the selected goalie as it would've on Green, if not more. Most opportunities for success are also opportunities for failure. I'm pulling for the latter. Then I'll sit on the couch with some popcorn and watch Londoners take to the streets and wreck half the city.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
