once again really looking forward to watching england again, and the possibility of seeing 20 minutes or so of rooney. but also i feel its slightly risky, imagine if he came on and got a knock to the same foot as before :eek:
hope sven is gonna try lennon and walcott too if we are winning by a decent margin

im just starting the pre match buildup, but its itv so expect a lot of ads
T&T will be up for this game far more so then their opening game, and although they have a suspension for one of their players, I just think that they will try thier hearts out, while the England team will once agian turn up expecting a victory and be blaze about the whole occassion, and will be shocked by how much fight the opposition are putting up.
ITV's build up started yesterday during all of the matches they showed.
Very true. I have wrote to OFCOM about the lack of coverage on featured games.
As for England v Trini, I go 1-0 England.
It'll be another borefest.
If we're not ahead by the 2nd half it could get vety difficult indeed as T&T will probably cope better with the heat.
If today is one of those days, they'll find it tough, possibly go behind, at which point Sven panics and brings on Rooney, who goes at it like a bull in a china shop, and wins a vital corner. Beckham delivers perfectly, but in the rush of bodies, someone stands on wonderboy's foot... they think it's all over, it is now.
Alternately, the team could actually turn up, play to their ability, and bang in 5 goals. That should wipe the grin of Dwight Yorke's face.
Since we don't score at all in the second half, T&T could very easily just put up a barrier for the first half and then strike in the second half and then we would be in the mire as we wouldn't be able to respond. And if he brings on Walcott it will be an act of despiration to say the least the child is still just potty training compared to the central defenders that he will be playing against. His tricks will be no match for their positional sense.
He should also only bring Rooney on for the last 10 mins MAX and I mean MAX that is just so that he can get a runout and get the press off of his back (or should that be foot?). Then he should not play at all v Sweeden, as that is too much of a risk as they have the players that will seek to injure him permently. Then there is enough time to get ready for the second round V Ecuador or Cost Rica.
2-1 to T&T
pre match buildup = get completely p|shed out of your nuts?
My ideal score would be a 3 or 4-1. John Terry in on the goals to make me some cash, and Stern John for the consolation, because he's Stern John.
Master world cup tactician Graham Taylor gives his ideas for the T&T game. :rolleyes:

Nice to know the licence fee is being well spent.
Is that a goal a piece for each T+T defender as England cannot score a goal.
If Rooney plays I imagine that the whole of the T+T team will try and wipe him out.
If they are really lucky they might get a draw, but in all likelihood, England will win.
If we're going to use the first game as our absolute; surely neither can T+T?
