Early betfair odds have both sides at about 2.8 . It is going to be a close evenly contested match imo, lets doooooooooooooooooo this.

Anybody who thinks dropping Rooney is a good idea I guarantee is absolutely clueless,he is by far our best player and he played well today imo but even if he'd been shit again you never ever drop your best player.He has more ability then any player who's played for England in the last 20 years and probably ever so dropping him would be ludicrous.I thought Milner was excellent today he started nervous but once he got into the game he was our best player for me.We should play the same 11 in the next game and I'm confident we can do the Germans,we put in a good performance today,bring it on!!!!!

Should be an awesome game whatever happens.
The England Germany rivalry is somewhat analogous to the Scotland England rivarly.
The Germans don't feel to need to reciprocate the English rivalry and are more bothered with the Dutch. Similarly, most of the English fans (with honorable exceptions) don't have the decency to anti-rail the Scots in return.
If you're an English fan who hasn't previously made fun of the Scots, now would be a good time to have a dig along the lines of "hard to anti-rail you when you've not bought in" or something like that. Be an honorable exception, hate our guts, you'll feel better for it.

Rooney wasn't good today, infact I would go as far to say he was awful. He is sooo greedy atm, he kept turning and trying to shoot rather than pass. Rooney and Defoe doesnt work, you can see this from their scoring record together, we need something to hit and obv Defoe can't and Rooney's touch atm is awful it's literally bouncing off him. We look most dangerous when we are putting balls into the box, there was a time today when Milner put a really good cross into the back post and Rooney literally just looked at the guy heading the ball out, most strikers would of been all over him trying to get in. He doesn't seem to give a fuck anymore, in the past when he gave the ball away he chased and hounded 50 yards for the ball back. Now he is losing the ball more than ever and instead of winning it back for the team he is just sulking like a big kid.
In regards the best player/most ability any player has had for 20 years. I would much prefer to have Lineker (sp)/Shearer than Rooney.
Crouch/Defoe have a really good understanding, they understand eachothers games and they have a good strike rate between them. It's unlikely that Capello has the bollocks to drop Rooney against the Germans as his job will be on the line and he'll get soooo much criticism.
I'd also def not choose the same team, I'd put Carragher in for Upson.

The hero tackle Upson made would of been done by Carragher/Rio/King, he was gash through the rest of the match, his distribution and positional sense is awful.
Shearer/Defoe >>>> Rooney/Defoe

meh england were terrible
they didnt look comfortable on or off the ball
was shaky when they didnt have the ball
and they didnt look like a threat through out the game and produced 2-3 chances total
if they was against a better team i am pretty sure they would be easily beaten
it was a redic boring game reminds me of the champ league final between milan and juve ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
pretty sure the germans will crush england pretty easily

The problem England seem to have is an inability to break down teams who set up defensively. Very similar problem Liverpool had last season. Fortunately, England haven't had the leaky defence to go with it, and so we're through to the knock-out stages.
We will play better against Germany, because it's Germany. But also because Germany won't park the bus, they'll come and play and so our 'attacking' players will have more room to actually attack and create openings. Shame we don't play Brazil earlier, as I'd also like to think we could give them a decent game. As in boxing, styles make fights, and England v Brazil would work for me as a great game. Shame we can't meet now until the final (I think that's right?) and I sincerely doubt we're going to get that far.
The good thing about playing Germany in the next round, is that we get to play Germany in the next round. Is there a game that English fans look forward to with more relish? Maybe the Argies, and we get them in the quarters don't we (assuming both get through)? The World Cup only comes round once every 4 years (or once every 16 years for Scotland - that was just for Tank), and it'd be rubbish if we didn't play Germany and Argentina. They're the games we want to watch. Roll n Sunday!

Agree Kin,we always play better against better teams and that's not just because where up for it more but because as you say they're more attacking against us.Really looking forward to it and I think we have a good chance of getting through.
