There are ifs and buts about which teams England can meet from now on.

Hypothetically this is a possibility:

We finish top of the Group, then we meet Germany and the winners of this game play the winners of Portugal/Holland

England win again to meet the winners of Spain/Brazil* in the semis

The final against Argentina :D/

 

 

*If Ghana finish 2nd in their Group above the Czechs, then Ghana can dump Brazil out in the 1/4 final [-o<

The dilema is do you play Lampard and Gerrard and risk them getting a booking and missing the second round game?

I think Germany will win their group so we would play Ecuador if we won ours...

 

Let's hope Italy finish second in their group too and then play (and beat) Brazil in the next round

The dilema is do you play Lampard and Gerrard and risk them getting a booking and missing the second round game?

 

I reckon you should always play your strongest team (whatever that is) and worry about any suspensions if or when they happen.

Especially when they need time to gel and find their form...

 

If either gets booked for something stupid, they deserve to miss the next game and should not get back in the side if we get any further.

 

The real weird one will be if Ecuador win the group - because in truth England will be happy to lose and avoid Germany. Sweden could still go out so they can't afford to mess about.

If England lose to avoid Germany we will more than likely have to play the winners of the Argentina/Holland match in the next round.

We will be better off if we top the Group.

Quite fancy playing the Germans on home soil.

 

Would be f??cking brilliant knocking them out. I think we would too.

That would be something, i think we would raise our game for that one and knock them out i think we would struggle more against Ecuador

 

As for the Lampard and Gerrard thing, i'm not so sure i think i would play Lampard but have Gerrard on the bench and bring him on if things weren't going to plan, we would srtuggle without them in the next round

Top the group and play Ecuador. Worry about the Qtr final after that.

i love your positivity zozzy , i used to be like you , unfortunately the route to the airport is is the only one they will need.

dosent matter who we play after group stages rather its germany or ecuador it,ll still be hard or england will make hard work of it, just go out to beat sweden and then concentrate on the nxt game after that and so on, its the world cup there,s no easy matches after the group stages, but if i had a choice i would rather play germany

another booking does not mean they will miss the last 32

another booking does not mean they will miss the last 32

 

 

it does if you get 2 bookings you miss the next match,but all bookings are scrapped from the group stage once in the last 32.

 

so if crouch ,lampard or gerrard are booked they miss the last 32 game.if they dont get booked they start the knockout stages with no bookings.

I would play Gerrad and Lampard for the first half then replace them at half time for Carrick and Lennon, however Crouch i wouldnt be that bothered with but would be a risk if he wasn't even a substitue in the last 32 so i would give Wallcot a chance from the start and if we need a goal then bring on Crouch.

A good manager would have ensured Gerrard picked up a booking in the last few mins of the Trinidad game. then again i should try to understabnd the rules before i post!

Last 16 not Last 32 you muppets

Last 16 not Last 32 you muppets

 

Don't start picking them up on errors, you'll be here all f??cking day.

avoid germany at all cost they wont be going out early host nation etc etc mark my words whoever plays them will lose check your history you will find im right not cause they are good but thats the way it is and remember who told you .

For my money I reckon we will end up winning the group and still end up playing Deutschland as both England Sweden and Equador Germany will end up as draws.

 

I have no problem as Germany are a decent but not a good side, however we will be up against "Host nation" sympathy from the ref and football authorities. Believe me, Fifa will want them in the competition for at least another week!
