It wasn't the greatest of games for England. The first half was pretty flat in my opinion. Seemed to have a little more life in the second. 9/10 isn't too bad lads. Off to South Africa England goes. Nice beard Becks!
I'm on this forum all the time, trying to look for places to get my football news, but recently found this, has anyone else seen it already? I've never heard of it before, am I completely out of touch?
Aliaksandr Hleb is pretty much the only recognisable player on Belarus side but the team effort at around 3:00 was some abrupt forward move astonishing the defence and the keeper
Belarus didn't perform well at all and what can you say about Crouch, he is unbelievable when he plays for England, always scoring and he has a great scoring rate in an England shirt. Was nice to see some changes and I thought Milner had a great chance, that was some good step over to fool the goalkeeper, he was pretty close to score. Great performance by David Beckham. Foster and Ferdinand had a bit better game today and Foster did an amazing safe at the end of the game. Lets go England and head to South Africa and win it out there woooo
Great win for England to finish off the qualifiers! I noticed that England actually have good forwards: Rooney, Heskey, Crouch, Agbonlahor, [C.] Cole, Defoe, and hopefully Darren Bent. Bent is on form and deserves to play for England again
Good win for england. Even though crouch's goals appeared lucky or even that he was in the right place at the right time, there's no denying that when he is on the pitch he finds a way to get the ball in the back of the net and england need to utilize that in south africa.
Foster had an excellent save at 63'. I keep hearing that he is england's keeper of the future but for me that future is now. He needed consistent playing time and he is starting to get it. Sure, he has made some errors but every world class goalkeeper has made errors, from jens lehmann to gigi buffon. These things happen but germany and italy still stuck behind their respective keepers and now more than ever england need to do the same. In my mind, foster is the one to back
When Olof Mellberg had a beard he was one of the most highly regarded centre backs in the country. Coicedence? As long as we don't have germany in our group we'll be alright. We won't win it though
I'm happy with the 3-0 win. I watched the first half on the Fox Soccer Channel. I was worried at first because of the loss of Rooney and Gerrard etc. But we played well as a team and got the result. It shows that even without the talisman like Rooney or Gerrard we are capable of beating half decent team like Belarus. Crouch's goal ratio for England is very good and he could start the game even. SWP scored great goal for us. We've got few more games to prepare.... Well done to us!
