Based on last night Jake England won't get through. They are disjointed and lack cohesion. They couldn't break down an Algerian side that before last night had coceded a least one goal in every game. Spuds like Heskey will take them nowhere.
Friendly wager?
Heskey is basically the same player as Altidore who caused Slovenia great problems when the US went more direct. England will watch the second half tape, set up very direct with either Heskey or Crouch and then get their quick wide players and Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard feeding off the scraps
I don't bet but if Heskey starts again up front then I'll sing God Save the Queen (and post the lyrics) if England gets through. Rooney isn't right and is very frustrated. The likes of Thompson, Lennon, Barry aren't A-grade internationals. They are playing as 11 individuals. There's no cohesion. No wonder the Pommie fans booed them off the pitch. People seriously overrate England because the EPL is the biggest and richest club league. Algeria is the weakest team in their group and England didn't look like scoring against them yet somehow Slovenia who beat Algeria is going to concede 3 goals ???.
No deflection Tucky btw. The Socceroos would be bottom 2 at this WC. I mean we go one up tonight and then sit back and let Ghana come at us
. We didn't do that 4 years ago and good sides go for the kill. Mind you it is BS that the Ghanian didn't get a red card as well for that challenge from behind when Cahill got a red in the first game for a lot less. Both sides should be down to 10 men.
