Wayne Bridge can play right back no? Or is he a left back?

The shadows on the field are horrible.

I think he is on the left.

Left back.

Not a bad half but I think having big Crouch up front is encouraging England to play the long ball too much. So Owen isn't getting involved. Some of the crosses into the box have been overhit too.

I still think we can beat them 3 or 4-0.

Beckham's kicks and passes are razor sharp.

Same old Sven - sitting on a 1-0 lead and playing long ball. So much for tactics. Robbo looks a bit skittish out there.

Hopefully we will see a better second half.

Ya think Sven is going to give Rooney a 15-20 minute run-out at the end, or not risk it?

No chance - Fergie would invade Germany. Assuming a win for ENG today Rooney won't be needed until Jun 20 for Sweden.

I heard Man U had lawyers, and their own doctor at Rooney's physical this week, and they cleared him too.

You are right though, they probably won't play him, but he needs some match fitness, or he will be really flat against Sweden.

Swedish commentators were also speculating about a run-out for Rooney if England has a secure lead.

I dont think it would happen though.

First of all England needs to pick up its game :-)

Downey for Owen. England is basically saying they don't feel like scoring any more.

Soccer is for kids who can't hit the ball!

He might do that in the second match. Slightly worrying they have substituted Owen.

Not a bad idea to replace him with a midfielder though so we can get a stranglehold on possession.

I hate nursing a 1-0 lead with 30 minutes left though. 10-15 minutes fine. It's as frustrating as the prevent defense in american football.

England needs another goal. Then they can start worrying about killing the clock.

Thank you. Your sport sucks worse. It's boring slow, with way too many timeouts, people scratching their butts.

Very silly yellow for dissent. That is so retarded.
