looks like they qualified for the world cup, they must be quite good,... and they beat England in a friendly :( ... shock horror!!!

and i do want england to win the world cup... even if i did vote for the argentines, it's just not a likely occurance... with Crouch and Beckham in the team!

# 11 Re: Moved: Whos going to win the world cup?
yes. joe cole, harewood, dyer, pennant, can all play on the right as well as in multiple positions.

They all offer more than crossing ability (i.e Attacking playmakers)and with crouch (can't header properly) and rooney (plays retreated counter-attacking) up front we need more attacking suporting strikers (owen may not pass fit) .

Beckham's downfall is that he is expert at crossing but have you seen the man shoot properly (apart from set-plays) or pass on the ground? In the world cup we need the extra option of a plan B without the likes of owen and beckham. (seeing what happened in Euro 2004)

# 12 Re: Moved: Whos going to win the world cup?
line up would be:-

-Robinson-

G.Neville (RB)
Terry (CB)
Carragher (CB)
Konchesky(LB)

Beckham (RM) :rolleyes: (or other attacking midefielder from above post)
Gerrard (CM)
Lampard (CM)
Etherington (LM) (he is actually left footed)

Rooney (AM -behind owen)
Owen (CF)

4-4-2 (a no nonsense formation)

# 13 Re: Moved: Whos going to win the world cup?

# 14 Re: Moved: Whos going to win the world cup?
ill also post this my explination to why our england team arn't creative and the champions league always is won by teams who finish 4-5 in the premiership (in recent years)

agressive (physical) teams who don't play attacking football come top of the premiership whilst more attacking teams win the champions league

maybe this isn't just the case for all teams or positions but you can get my point

Pos. Team Pts Dif.
1 Chelsea 82 +44 agress.
2 Manchester United 75 +36 agress/
3 Liverpool 70 +26 flamboyant
4 Tottenham Hotspur 58 +15 agress/flamboyant
5 Arsenal 54 +28 flamboyant
6 Blackburn Rovers 54 +6 agressive
7 Bolton Wanderers 48 +7 agressive
8 Wigan Athletic 48 -2 flamboant
9 West Ham United 46 -3 flamboant
10 Newcastle United 45 -4 agress/flamboyant
11 Everton 45 -12 agress.
12 Charlton Athletic 44 -5 agress/flamboyant
13 Manchester City 40 0 agress/flamboyant
14 Middlesbrough 40 -9 agress/flamboyant
15 Aston Villa 36 -12 agress.
16 Fulham 36 -13 flamboyant
17 Birmingham City 29 -20 agress
18 Portsmouth 29 -25 flamboyant
19 West Bromwich Albion 28 -21 agress
20 Sunderland 11 -36 (now relegated) well... useless

# 15 Re: Moved: Whos going to win the world cup?
agressive= defensive at times, keep the ball, tackle hard etc.
flamboant= flashy, counter attacking style etc.

if you want to understand my point read fourfourtwo may edition and read the letters section

# 16 Re: Moved: Whos going to win the world cup?
and also that's why under beckham i put 'attacking midfielder from above post' indicating joe cole , pennant etc.

i may also be biased toward west ham.. see my userbar :D

liverpool and now arsenal have had success in the champoins league (attacking styles) whilst chelsea and other more conservative teams have done well in the league... the premier league and england side are flawed by the more attacking style of other countries/leagues... do you now see my point

# 17 Re: Moved: Whos going to win the world cup?
o wow i missed out a 'y' does this make it unrecognisable?

flamboyant
flamboant

yep two totally different words cant relate them in any way! :rolleyes:

so you wouldn't call bolton and blackburn physical and agressive?
even chelsea (the best team in the premierleague) have found to be physical when faced aganist the 'flamboyance' of Barcelona and faced by a ref who punishes foul play (not metioning the messi- delhorno incident in any way :eek: )

if big sam gets the england job we will be damned for ever more (explanation= bolton=physical)

i don't want to sound like an ar* either

:D i my have only posted 60 times for ilounge but it in no way undermines my football knowledge :D

i bow down to your knowledge of everything ipod imacc but plz don't be agressive (or is it physical) about football :D

# 18 Re: Moved: Whos going to win the world cup?

# 21 Re: Moved: Whos going to win the world cup?
Mexico will win this World Cup!

England on 3rd,
Superman000 at 2007-11-15 18:29:39 >
# 22 Re: Moved: Whos going to win the world cup?
why? actually mexico could be the new Greece, i hope not i want to see a good 5 goal final not a team scraping out 1-0 results all the time.
andy2808 at 2007-11-15 18:30:38 >
# 23 Re: Moved: Whos going to win the world cup?
I Think 'll remove england form being 3rd place.
3rd place will be to Brazil

England doesnt have chance of winning the World Cup without Rooney :(.

Actually I support Mexico cuz Im mexican, but I hope this cup we dont mess it up in a game xD
Superman000 at 2007-11-15 18:31:38 >
# 24 Re: Moved: Whos going to win the world cup?
i've changed my mind

1st Brazil (by a long way)
2nd Germany
3rd Argentina

i was looking forward to seeing rooney at the world cup... o well there's always 4yrs time - 2010 World Cup !!
