"Northern Ireland vs England"

After Englands lackluster performance in the last 2 games will they win?

I'm not sure.

Will the formation be the same and will Owen return to the squad or not?

Again not sure.

Discuss.

Ha ha ha, please tell me you were only joking.

Last 7 games:
SCOTLAND:
H Italy D 1-1
A Belarus D 0-0
H Moldova W 2-0
A Italy L 0-2
Moldova D 1-1
H Norway L 0-1
H Slovenia D 0-0

ENGLAND:
A Austria D 2-2
A Poland W 2-1
Wales W 2-0
A Azerbaijan W 1-0
H Northern Ireland W 4-0
H Azerbaijan W 2-0
A Wales W 1-0


So 6 wins and a draw for England isn't as good as 1 win for Scotland?

Sack Sven

Get Pearce in and you'll win the World Cup

Quinn. And he's a league 2 player..............

What a shot by that guy

Finally Cole is on!

Hopefully he's fired up at being dropped and will run riot and create a few chances. Lets face it, we need it!

.

I blame Sven for not taking Rooney off and I blame the fans for expecting so much from a team that is actually quite crap when you think about it.

Poor. Very poor.

I hate to say this but NI could sneak a goal and camp out in their own half. Wales are holding Poland but I expect Poland will win so anything less than a win for England is a disaster.

Should we win we only need to beat Austria to qualify as a second placed team with the highest number of points at the worst. In this form that's doubtful.

And what's with John Motson saying "1 minute of overtime"? Is he trying to become a nationalised American!?

Here's for a better second half. Lets face it - it can't be much worse!

The ref didn't help much though, he can see Rooney is getting annoyed so what exactly does going right up to him and shoving the card in his face actually achieve other than get him annoyed further?

Haha, England will be going to the World Cup.
