A draw is good enough for England to top group "B" so its on to play Equador in the last sixteen in Stutgart. Bad news is Michael Owen was carried off on a stretcher in agony in the first minute (looks like knee ligament damage). Joe Cole gave us the lead and we looked good up to half time. Sweden came into the game and caused all sorts of problems at set pieces (sort it out Sven). They eventually scored from a corner due to slack marking. Rio Ferdinand limped off to be replaced by Sol Campbell so maybe another injury problem. Stephen Gerrard came on for a tiring Wayne Rooney (who threw his teddy out the cot) and it was Gerrard who put us in front with 6 minutes to go.
We couldn't hang on and more crap defending allowed the Swedes to equalise in the last minute.
Come on Sven wake up now is the time for Aaron Lennon.
Rest of Todays Results :-

I didnt see much of the match as i was working at the pub. But our defending at dead ball situations looked a bit off to say the least.
We was talking later and its funny how England managers at World Cups always get their hands forced into being more adventurous. Get Aaron and that other lad, whatisname Wolcott, stick em on and lets see England really take them on!!
As you can see I've the makings of a top coach lol.
Yes I agree Sven as to be bold, we need to play the lads with pace that can beat a player, Lennon, Walcott, Downing, etc should all be considered.
Hey WRB, how many games has the U.S. played, won, lost, and with whom? I did a google search, got to a site, didn't understand what I was reading, and am too lazy to search more. I figure you probably know this off the top of your head.
