Fifa World Cup... GERMANY 2006 discussion thread (link to match schedules inc)

Ghana v Brasil

Klinsmans a HUGE influence on em and home nations usually go well.

We were sh*t in 66 all the way through and only really gelled in the final ;)

You never know but it's gonna be 33 degrees in the afternoon on sunday against a South American team :o

We were shit in 1990 too (not that we were at home) - nearly went to lots in the group, only a Mark Wright goal in 1-0 win over Egypt got us through. Got battered for 119 minutes against Belgium, before Platt popped up, battered against Cameroon and would've lost but for 2 pens!!

haha have a :coolclick:

Tunisia down to 10 men so the 2nd half should pipe up a bit...

France still did not impress me massively today,they play like 3 seperate untis as opposed to 1 cohesive one. I think they should start with Trez though,I mean I know he had a bad match but his positioning etc is excellent so he is bound to score.
Anyone read the latest news,Carrick is starting the enxt match(I wanted him to start form the beginning!),going to 4-5-1,Rooney on his own,no Crouch.. I was wondering,has he played this identical formation with the same players before? If notmwhat a time to do it!! I don't really rate Sven as a manager,his tactics suit defensive minded teams(ie Lazio in Italy) but not on the international stage! He needs to let Gerrard free,let him play his more attacking role!!! He is Englan's best player in my opinion and can win matches single handedly,even at internationla level!

you know why his done tht imo is cus then if rooney needs to come off near the end he can replace him with crouch weras if crouch was playing rooney would have to be replaced by walcott or the formation would have to be changed half way through the match

he seems reluctant to play walcott even though he fucking picked him

yea but jenas, p neville all those fringe players wont get a look in either.

at least if he took defoe he could throw him on with no doubts of his quality

who cares about neville and jenas we need arron lennon starting ;D

nope

in mexico 1986 argentina defeated west germany by 3 goals to 2 to lift the world cup

at italia 90 a repeat of the final was staged this time west germany ran out winners 1 - 0

both teams won after beating england in the knockout stages
