England v Slovenia [poll attached]

[TFF]

They can try, at least - they've all achieved it in the past for their clubs. Not as often as many other WC teams, I'll agree, but they can do it - for some reason they don't even try in England shirts, though.

For example, Gerrard has delivered many killer passes, but only if he's playing them for Torres to run onto. How many did Lampard score for Chelsea - compare with how many he's scored for England.... and so on.

You've answered your own question there. When playing for their clubs they're surrounded by world class players.

So who are the world class players and who are the makeweights?

Which is exactly what I have been saying since the game against the Septics.

[cmonurz]

Upson wins the VERY LOUD singing of the national anthem award.

[TFF]

We don't look very confident

[Maquisard]

we still believe

[Silver Fox]

IT's early doors but Milner seems to be playig nearly as well as he did against the USA

[havoc]

[TFF]

Two decent moments from Frank

[cmonurz]

We're piling the pressure on. Amazing what a difference it makes when Lampard and Rooney actually turn up.

[havoc]

LOL @ Rooney already clocking that Milner is shite

[Silver Fox]

TBF Rooney must be delighted that someone's playing worse than he did on Friday

[Silver Fox]

LOLz @ me for dissing Milner of course!!

[cmonurz]

Milner ---> Defoe ---> GOAL.

Beautiful!
