Quadrant Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 My bet is England will definitely win this, and I've placed £10 on it on betfair.com to make sure they do. What are people's predictions? :pirate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennox2s2s Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I personally think that England will win quite comfortably......What about Owen there seems to be alot of speculation over his contribution to the squad whether he will start or not....Did he start on Capello's first game? I cant remember..... For the record I am NOT an England fan...just passing my opinion... Still reckon Owen has alot to offer...pity about the situation at St. James Gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 1-1 draw I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Doctor Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 All I can say is go on Rio. I can't stand Terry and Gerrard was a terrible skipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 All I can say is go on Rio. I can't stand Terry and Gerrard was a terrible skipper. I'd rather have Gerrard as captain. Rio is as thick as pig dung! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrant Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I know France are missing some players, and Zidane has retired, but they are previous World Cup finalists. The world cup winners (Italy) are playing Spain as well tonight I think, and I reckon Spain will beat them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Spain always underperform in big tournaments for some reason, very much like England in that respect. But I remember last year when I was in Salamanca, and England had a friendly with them and we lost... I had to buy all the bar staff a drink :thumbsdown: A 1-1 draw tonight when we play France is my prediction. I can't watch it though as I don't have Sky!!

Max Kane Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I'd go 1-1 aswell. I don't mind Capello giving Ferdinand the captaincy if it is indeed part of his plan to 'test out' potential captains. The best leader is still easily JT though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberduck Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Got this on at the moment. Most of the way through the second half and I'm slightly dissapointed. You would have thought with the quality of the players on show it would have been a bit more of a spectacle. If you look at the starting lineup for France I personally think they have a more superior team. They have some players with immense experience (Thuram, Makelele, Anelka) and some younger exciting players (Ribery, Malouda, Abidal). The players at their disposal at left back must be the strongest around. To have Clichy and Evra kept out of action by Abidal is almost an injustice to these awesome players. Looks as though the 1st half was a bit of a wrong choice of players/formation but I guess Capello is just testing the water. Rooney looked a bit lost at times and although I think he can play anywhere, if he doesn't get the service up front, he's always going to come looking for it and c**k up the formation. He gets frustrated if he doesn't see any of the ball but for us (United), he has some fine players working in a tried and tested team to bring him into the game. No doubt the press will be onto somebody for the loss as usual. At the end of the day, it's a meaningless friendly smack bang in the most important time of the season for most players so they're hardly going to go hammer and tongs at it. Not good to see Rio looking like he has a bit of a pull/strain when we have Roma next week . Hopefully he's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrant Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Calamity James, totally upended Anelka for the penalty although he stood his ground like a rock. Would have been a 0-0 draw basically any other day but the most important thing is I've lost my money!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hah 1-0 as Ipredicted ! I shoudlev bet on it! :lol; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Mental Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I know its an England thread, but thought the Scotland score was pretty pleasing, 1-1 against Croatia, they're a brilliant side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Croatia are a good side so that's a good result for Scotland... the dark depths of drawing 1-1 with the Faroe Islands a few years ago seem long gone! Should have put your money (except Jacey on Spain, they beat Italy 1-0... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Mental Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Especially considering there's 3 old firm games in the next couple of months, and the SPL atm is the most congested league there's ever been, as well as a new manager, things are looking up hopefully. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvwMYixzBx8&NR=1 Yassss!

lennox2s2s Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 That was a great result for Scotland beating France 1-0, cant understand why Mc Fadden went then and joined Birmingham City??? A terrible move in my opinion considering the position Everton are currently in... In relation to old firm, there is only one team, "Celtic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Mental Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Aye, can't believe we didn't make Euro 2008, was some effort with some cruel refereeing at the end. The atmosphere at most of the games was unbelievable, you could actually smell the belief Och well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
