I think Sven has made that clear, hence his resting Gerrard against Sweden.
It's a difficult choice between 442 and 451 - I'm not sure which camp I fall into to be honest, how about 352?!

Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
In an ideal world 3-5-2 would suit us well, but it's a bit late ot be playing with new formations.
Plus it would probably mean Beckham playing at wing-back, which I'm not sure I would like.

Here at Ground Zero much of the optimism to which you refer dissipated with a loud 'Pop' the day Rooney got injured. The rest went with a feeble balloon-emptying squeak the day the squad was announced.
I should imagine that Owen's departure has caused people to actually choke on the shredded bits of balloon now.

Playing any formation bar 4-4-2 against Ecuador just gives Ecuador a much greater chance of pulling off a 1-0 type victory. England have to impose their style of play on teams and play to their own strengths, it's no good playing to their weaknesses - you won't win the World Cup consistently playing rubbish unless you're Germany.
Owen had been fairly rubbish anyway, whilst Crouch had been better and Rooney is Rooney - I don't see why all of a sudden England should switch to 1 up front. Hargreaves had one decent game, but gives away too many needless free kicks which would cost England sooner or later.

looking at the Koreans i'm pretty sure they will win that group, dont think the swiss even though are group leaders currently will beat them & even though France have been relatively poor i'd back them to beat Togo.Originally Posted by FaaipDeOiad

I'm going to be filthy if the Koreans get through. I want to punch the TV every time I see them play, let alone every time they get an unwarranted free kickOriginally Posted by aussie
Shoot me. I agree with that entirely. Very well said I must say. The only thing I don't agree with is Hargreaves giving away to many free kicks. He'll prove his worth against Ecuador IMO. A solid defensive mid. England must play a 4-4-2 Diamond though. It's so stereotypical and perhaps so "boring" (in terms of their tactical changes) but it's what they know and what they're good at.Originally Posted by Scaly piscine
Now that Aus are through I can stop feeling jealousy towards England and support a team that I do like. I'll just celebrate a bit then stick cotton wool in my ears if they win it![]()
