How tall is Peter Crouch?

6ft 7"?

That wasn't good was it?

Well.

I couldn't believe that people were confident of a 3 or 4 nil win?
Although I did think we might sneak it 1-0

James 7
Cole 4
Johnson 4
Terry 4
Carragher 5
Barry 6 (Crouch 6)
Lampard 3
Gerrard 3
Lennon 3 (Wright-Phillips 6)
Heskey 3 (Defoe 7)
Rooney 3

All the superstar players were dreadful, and I think I've been a bit generous.

Christ!!!! We were so bad, I fell asleep halfway through the second half.

By the way, I'm not making excuses, but did you see that shot Defoe had near the end? The ball took off from his foot, travelling to the top corner, then, when it was halfway to the goal, it seem to suddenly change direction and start going higher, as if the wind was carrying it. It's like a f**king balloon that thing.

Is that completed passes?

No, that would be lower

Well that time we got knocked out by Argentina we had an even worse start.

I'm hoping for another 'Lineker Poland' revelation against Slovenia.
But it may need a couple of injuries so that Capello has to pick Cole or start with Defoe.

The bookies must've got very rich tonight. Never mind wildly over-the-top correct score predictors like me, it's the big-money gamblers who would've had huge amounts on England simply winning the game who will have provided them with most of the money.

Backing England must be among the worst bets you can do.
The sheer volume of bets always lowers the odds.

I don't follow football, didn't watch the match against America, but for some reason sat and watched all that. Boring, awful shite.

Even if we lose to America, I still think England will qualify from the group.

I can't see us dropping any points against Algeria or Slovenia. Six points will see us through, no problem.

Apologies for dragging up an old quote.
But I hope that you're half right Don.

We could've really done with Beckham out there tonight. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see him at the Euro Champs in two years.
