"My predictions for the 2 games of the world cup matches and team line up"

I have finally thought of my predicions for the two remaining matches for England in the World Cup against Argentina and Nigeria. Seen as though are group is the toughest out of them all these are going to be two hard matches.

For the Argentina match, I think its going to be an entertaining one, because we both have world class players. For this one I'm going for a draw and I think it will be 2-2. First I think Argentina will score, after about 20mins and then England score not long after. After half time I think Argentina will score straight away then England score with about 5mins to go.

I think the guy that injured Beckham in the Champions League could get sent off for takling someone with studs showing. The good thing about the game is that we've got the best ref in the world, Perluigi Colina, you know that Italian ref with googly eyes!


For the Nigeria game, I don't think it will be as hard and we will come out with three points. I think we will win 2-0. I think we will score first after about half an hour and then at about 60mins mark. I think it will be a clean, unless the ref is dodgy, because I don't know who the ref is for this game. If you do please tell me.

Here is what I think the line up should be and who I think will score:

GK: David Seaman
RB: Wes Brown or Danny Mills
CB: Rio Ferdinand
CB: Sol Campbell
LB: Ashley Cole or Wayne Bridge
RM: David Beckham (Goal against Argentina)
DM: Owen Hargreaves
AM: Paul Scholes
LM: Emile Heskey (Goal against Nigeria)
CF: Micael Owen (Goal in both matches)
CF: Darius Vassel

I think in at least in one of the matches Joe cole will come on for Darius Vassel and go in Heskeys place and put Heskey up front.

I think in the Nigeria match Dyer will come on for Beckham.

There will be other subs even from an injury or from player playing bad I can't tell you now.

I hope that England will do well in the World Cup and if we come second I hope France don't come top, because we have to play the top of Group A.

COME ON ENGLAND DO IT FOR YOU AND FOR US!!!

Argentina 0 England 2
Nigeria 0 England 0

Dunno. I thinks Svens going to take Vassel out and put Heskey up with Owen and putting Scholes on the left and Butt in the middle. I think so, I saw it on ITV after the Cameroon and Saudi Arabia match.

England are oot

I think that Nigeria will beat Sweeden and England but I guess that is just my opinion :-)

Owen and Vassell won't work together, you can't play two strikers of the same calibre cos it just don't work. If Owen plays (which he should), he should play with Hesky, but up front and not on the left. Who's idea was that?

I don't see Nigeria getting a point in this group, Sweden will beat them.

We can still get throught if we lose and Sweden draw and we win against Nigeria and sweden lose.

I think Rio is better.
