what the hell is a CF? if your refering to lampard playing as a striker you really have no idea about football/soccer or whatever the hell you call it.

Center Forward which as I understand it is inbetween an attacking midfielder and a striker (blame Fifa 2010 for my using that term, it's in the game). I would say having Lampard playing directly behind Rooney might help you out a bit. If you do that you have a midfield of Milner, Gerrard, Carrick, Lennon which (outside of you guys bringing Adam Johnson) is a quality midfield but that's just my thoughts on it.

And yes Lampard playing Striker makes sense to me because all that cat wants to do is push forward which is partly why he and Gerrard don't play well together in the midfield and I figure since Heskey and Crouch didn't figure into the game very much perhaps Lampard would create more chances for your team in that way. The other option is to sit Lampard on the bench.....do you like sitting Lampard or sitting Heskey? In my opinion you sit them both, but you Brits rate Lamps (I don't) so I figure you guys would want him on the pitch.

I just feel sorry for whoever finishes second in our group...they will be seeing Germany no doubt.

Yup, going on last night, Germany would ruin us both

Yes they looked amazing but they looked amazing vs Australia....the same Australia that the US beat 3-1. So let's not get crazy

True, but impressive nonetheless

Our defense has looked shit for ages, we were horrendous against Japan. And not that much better vs USA, no disrespect to the yanks. But we really should be comfortably beating teams like the USA, i think we will win the group. But thats about it, there's easily about 8 teams playing better than England currently, unless we seriously improve which i doubt, this will be another disappointing run, our 1990 squad was better.

I thought Australia were shit in the warmup game we played them in (I mean we scored 3 and could have had like 7 and cmon we may be ok but were not high scoring) and Cahill as a lone striker, really, but Germany were great to watch. I still don't see them winning it. But they will be fun to watch.

We didn't beat Brazil recently No Contest. We went up 2-0 at halftime and lost 3-2. But maybe we should just act like the second half didn't happen.

The Dutch just played. They looked pretty good from what I saw since Denmark aren't bad. If we don't win it then I want the Dutch too.
