England vs Switzerland

[GoldCoastWhite]

Keep the updates coming gents and I'll have a read in the morning. Sleeping pills are starting to kick  in now so better head upstairs while I still can. Staff farewell (boozy) lunch tomorrow then Socceroos v Kiwis at 5pm. Could get messy but hope to have an entertaining day... :025:  :039: :down_under:  078.gif

I know he seems to have a knack of scoring goals but bent is so poor technically as a player....cross just then from milner that bobby would have been all over like a rash...bent closes his eyes and jumps at the player instead?

[os5889]

Bz looked to be warming up quite intensively just now, heres hoping.

It is a cup tie you doughnut commentator, both teams need the win!

[MJG]

How poor has been Terry's passing and also Parker....oh and bent after that miss as I was typing.

[ImperialWhite]

Comedy miss from Bent.

Come on Zamora...

(Wilshire MOTM for me so far)

He does look good and that run and pass for Bent was quality.

[MJG]

No BZ today, downing on for walcott

[ImperialWhite]

Senderos has impressed today I think.

[Crede15]

Even if Senderos was having a rough game he'd look like a legend compared to Djorou.

[Brede Butter Pudding]

Gutted Bob hasn't made an appearance, he would have been ideal right now.

[ImperialWhite]

2-2.

Could have been worse.

[AlFayedsChequebook]

Should have brought Zamora on.

[HatterDon]

"If Downing plays for England, why can't I?"

England fight to get back, dominate the first 20 minutes of the 2nd half, equalize, and then shut down. Has Roy already taken over the Three Lions?

Gutted Zamora didn't play.

[ImperialWhite]

Ooooh, Montenegro vs England, last qualifier. Could be tasty.

[Blingo]

at least senderos had a decent game.

[FC Silver Fox]

Downing always WAS a waste of space, still IS a waste of space and always WILL BE a waste of space.

Without wanting to be a troll or anything but "2-2 against Switzerland? Really?" The bits I saw the Swiss even dominated.

The Swiss dominated the first half, we probably played better in the second. Both sides could have had more goals. We didn't deserve anything more than a draw, despite Bent's missed chances.

What was the Belgium - Turkey match like yesterday (I watched Belarus - France, sorry!)? On paper I guess you could have done with a win - what do you think your qualification chances are now?

edit - also, after such a good season for Eden Hazard, do you think Dembele might struggle in future to get into the starting XI?

Simples, we should have won. We missed a penalty and dominated 90 minutes. The turks got 1 (one) chance and scored.
As far as Hazard goes, I think his career in the Belgian XI is yet again over. He wants the whole team to play for him rather than play in the team. He was invisible until he was substituted. His replacement played in the team and we were better again. Hazard went to take a shower and left the stadium before the game is over. Can't be bothered too much about him. Belgium needs workers, not arrogant French.
