[WC2010] Match 37 - Slovenia vs. England

[Argote]

The game will be played in Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth on the 23rd of June 2010 @ 16:00 (local time)

Referee: Wolfgang Stark (Germany)

This will be a close match, I think this might be a 2-2 draw.

Feel free to discuss!

Being from the U.S., I hope it's a low scoring affair. If the U.S. ties and England ties, England needs to score at least two more goals than the U.S. to move on.

No offense meant toward the Brits. I'd just like to see them move on and hopefully grow the fan base here in the U.S.

If we don't win then we deserve to not progress.

Good luck to them & the US.

Let me guess... a draw!

Slovenia 2 - 0 England

[Darth Laidher]

Slovenia 1-0

I think it will be our toughest opponent, I think Slovenia will score first and England to scramble a 2-1 win.

Our team needs a kick up the arse, and I think the only way that will happen is with Slovenia scoring first. If we can't win in that case then we have no business being there anyway.

Italy (current champions) is in the same boat as us, France are out.. To say England are the worst (of the better) teams in this tournament is completely false, but they should be doing better.

Heres what a friend of mine thinks, I sort of agree with him!

1-0 win, drab game, England go through but everyone is still bloody miserable about it.

Next game, surprisingly comfortable win, 2-0 or 3-0, Rooney scores a cracker, just enough to get everyone revved up again and the papers bigging us up to win the cup.

Then a torrid QF in which we go out on penalties thanks to a miss by Defoe

PS: I got 10 euros on England to progress btw ;)

From Goal.com today : Fabio Capello: I'm not crazy, England can win World Cup 2010

Obviously I would like England to win. But for the pure 'lolz' and 'wtf' moments at work I would love for Slovenia to cane them :rofl:

[Neowinian]

I think the england camp has had a wake up call, and I am saying 3-0 to England...but it will probably be a draw.

[red.]

I would really laugh if after all of this discussion Joe Cole plays and does nothing.

[Brad.]

If we pass the ball well and get down the wings a bit then we can really do some damage. England have had a problem where the right midfielder can never get a decent cross in (im talking about walcott and SWP) if we sort that out then you never know, really want to see Joe Cole play though. Oh and a killer performance from Rooney for once.

[Shibby]

England to play utter poo and win 1-0.?

[Singh400]

What is Slovenia's track record been like in past games?

[Rappy Veteran]

England to play utter poo and win 1-0.?

I have to agree we are going to play ###### but still scrape it but Slovenia will be way up for it!

[ambiance]

2-1 England.

Remember it's three lions, not three *******.

[mikebiacsi]

3-0 England me thinks.

[Rappy Veteran]

Upson, Defoe and Milner in the team!

[hjf288]

[Rappy Veteran]
