[Closed] England vs Algeria - place your bets

Will be getting some beers in from the local brewery 🙂

4-0 I reckon

I'm going out for a ride! 🙂

2-1 we just scrape through.

can i have a side bet this thread doesnt reach 10posts before someone has to post IDGAF or similar.

EDIT: willing to ignore the post above as it beat me by 30secs.

4-0 easy victory and you can swing back to being the best team in the world

2 0 bit of a dodgy start then a goal will give us some confidence!!

Watching on a telly with no sound at the Mrs cousin's wedding reception, got conned early doors and didnt look at the date!!

frank isnt fat?

I don't think Algeria will score [i]that[/i] many JY 😉

4-0 if James in goal, cagey 2-1 if Green is between the sticks

Anyone got a vuvuzela I can have? Need one for tonight at MM 😀

calamity james, or walkers as he was known

fat lazy frank lampard

Gerard to play behind Rooney and engerland to win 3-0

David James got so depressed when at Pompey he tried to commit suicide by throwing himself in front of a bus. Fortunately the bus passed underneath him and he survived...

I would like to think 3-0 as their defence looks about as solid as ours.

Ahh...

So 3-1 then. 1-0 at half time.

But it will look easy I reckon - back at sea level too so we should be able to easily run them ragged especially in the last 30 minutes.

The optimist in me thinks it will be 4-0.

However, I have a niggling thought in my head it will end up 1-1.

Praying for a decent performance, a clean sheet for Rob Green and the defence, and to run out 2-0 or 3-0 will do just fine.

But tbh, a 1-0 with the winner scuttling in from a deflection 2 minutes into injury time will be good enough too.

Can you borrow defibrillators?

frank isnt fat?

No your quite right but that's his nick name. I rate lampard very highly, but he does not always show up for England.

Hmmm - predicting an easy win against and african team playing in africa is a dangerous game to play.

Why Algeria is a long way from RSA.

6-2

Off out the night for a meal I reckon I might score too as the kids are out to Grandparents.

0-0

I'd hope for a victory, can't see a margin of more than one or two. A draw still wouldn't be a disaster.

What evidence is there that this would work ? If it had been tried before hand then fair enough but going in to the WC experimenting with your team is hardly a Cappelloesque approach. If Cappello wants to paly 4-4-1-1 or however you want to draw it, he'll play De Foe up top with Rooney in behind, as he's already looked at that.

I think Barry will make a huge difference to us. I'd expect A Cole to give us all the width on the left, leaving Gerrard to tuck in and effectively give us 3 in centre mid. I think that's the only way that we can survive with 4-4-2.

It could go either way.I reckon Rooney will be rampant tonight. He's bored out of his little scouse head. Someones going to be on the receiving end of it.

Its either going to be the Algeria keeper or the ref

And the Algerian 'keeper was shit in their first match.

What? Sorry? Ahh yes, good point...

😉

oh crap. When is it on? I need to know when to avoid the roads and when they'll be safe.

thanks.

i don't think any of us know enough about his mindset to say that tbh. Apparently he was only going to pick players who were fit...what happened to that?

I know what you're saying about defoe but he's too wasteful at international level to be trusted as the out and out striker.

playing gerard in the hole allows us to have lamps, cole, milner or swp or lennon plus barry sat behind mopping up.

maybe capello won't risk it but we only have to win 1-0 six times in a row and we're there (optimism!)

I wouldn't be to surprissed to see crouch get the nod over heskey, as he always does well against the so called lesser teams.

I predict I will be cutting the grass at about 7:30 tonight.

Algeria 1 England 0 (Algeria are my sweepstake "choice")

lets hope Frank Lampost turns up tonight..1-0 to engerlund

can you pop over and do my lawn at halftime?

A hat-full from Crouch, Rooney and one from midfield

Serbia doing okay against our German brethrens. Germany could do with knocking down a peg or two

Praying for a decent performance, a clean sheet for Rob Green ...

He should manage that. I'm pretty sure he'll be on the bench.

I reckon 2-0 but again an unconvincing performance. Happy to be proved wrong.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Must control myself down the pub!!! COME ON ENGLAND xxx

3-1.

Eldest gets to stay for it so there'd better be (a) goals and (b) an England win or else I predict tears before bedtime.

Are people happy with the Slovenia draw? Part of me wanted them to win so they'd put out a B team for last game.

Algeria to win 1-0 at 28/1 is my bet placed

boring boring England

They really are shite.

I got Japan & Slovakia in the office sweep stake and think i did better than the guy who drew England 😯

England is very clumsy so far ... 👿

Told ya so 🙂

What did Rooney say leaving the pitch, I couldn't hear it?

Booed by your own fans, call that support or something along those lines. Over-paid gobsh*te. Should remember those fans generally earn a tiny amount of what he does and have a paid a fortune to see them play over there and they get that. A*sehole. Makes you proud doesn't it..

What did Rooney say leaving the pitch, I couldn't hear it?

[i]self-critical I hope[/i]?

Why didn't ITV HD stick a car advert on for 93mins this time

Rooney was moaning about the crowd booing. Good job he couldn't here me calling him a fat lazy gyp@y ****.

perhaps Rooney should ask himself exactly [i]why[/i] England were booed by their own fans.

Well Rooney will be lynched for that comment and then forgiven having issued some half arsed unfelt apology,,,,, he really is a twunt who can't even understand why people might be upset at traveling all that way to see him and his other mates not even try very hard. IDIOT

+1 spud

Well at least England are following previous form; draw, win 1-0, sit back/Police-up etc etc..

The game was SO PISSPOOR I cleaned my chain 🙁

gee you english are taking another average performance well.
Clearly Roooney os rubbish and is just not trying or does not care

I couldn't care less what Rooney does/says wearing an Ing-er-lund shirt. As long as he's home fit & fresh for next season is all that matters.

For 48 weeks a year he's a c*nt in red why want him to do well now?

I'm going out for a ride!

I really, really, really wish I'd done this. What a waste of a perfect evening...

Unmitigated shite wrapped up in celebrity turd.

Unmitigated shite wrapped up in celebrity turd.

Soccer in a nutshell.

Rooney looked like the only one who was playing with some kind of passion. The rest looked like they had never played together before. Short passes, mis-directed passes, all sorts of krap. A well earned nil-nil draw. Capullo is surely looking for a new club now?

Rooney was shocking lots of mistimed passes just poor.Mind you the service he got was poor from midfield he kept having to drop deep to look for the ball .At times ther were 4 or 5 in front of him and he's the striker

If you put all those English players in a hessian sack and punched it ... that player would have deserved it. Truly the lowest this country has sunk in world football. Those ****s need to have some passion and balls and not be distracted by the next Gillett advert they wish to appear in.

Mind you the service he got was poor from midfield he kept having to drop deep to look for the ball .At times ther were 4 or 5 in front of him and he's the striker

they were ALL poor, Rooney included

Holland...watch this space~~~

Rooney played with passion ? I must have been watching a different game.
What a load of old horse cack. Overpaid prima donnas. Gerard was crap, Rooney, Lampard, Heskey say no more, I mean come on - we're playing potentially against the best teams in the world and Heskey was on the plane as the best we've got. We might as well have sent Ainsley Harriot. Sorry but Capello is no better so far than any other manager we've ever had, including Graham Taylor.
I really hope Rooney gets his lip out about this and realises why the crowd were so vocal after the game. Did he really expect applause ?

And Rooney hasn't even got enough passion to take part in the national anthem the miserable little scrote.

I don't blame him.

Did he really expect applause ?

Junkyard,

That weight of the nation/expectation stuff is facetious bollocks. Just like any other country then ... that go on to deliver. Not good enough. Deal with the psyche of English football and sort out the celebrity teat sucklers ... many of whom publish biographies before they've ever done anything.

yes I am sure their "fans" contempt for them has no effect on their performance sorry I got it so wrong.

Beckenbauer was right

There are too many foreigners in the Prem to let any decent English players through. So we get the same old faces every tournament - not because they're the best English players there are, but simply because they're the [i]only[/i] English players in the top 5 teams in the Prem. Look at them. I bet there's not one of them plays for a team outside the top 5

[edit] the goalkeepers - two of the three anyway - were involved in relegation scraps all season and the third was on loan. What does that say?

They are all shite so until England wins the World Cup all those premiership players are nothing but a bunch of overpaid tossers that are paid to be so. i.e. you feed them your hard earn money every week at club level and they think they are gods.

Put it simply they are not worth the money nor the craze support people give them, because they are shite. Utterly shite. Nothing but shite.

For the amount they earn at club level they don't even have the decency to play like a team so no matter what world class manager you have nothing will improve.

England (football that is) is on the terminal decline I am afraid so it might even better to choose second rated English players as they might play with their heart and soul. Not like this bunch of lazy, unimaginative fat piggies.

Oh do shut the **** up. It's getting tiresome now.

"And Rooney hasn't even got enough passion to take part in the national anthem the miserable little scrote"

What National Anthem? Have you listened to the words of that pitiful ode to an in-bred German. Refusing to sing it was the best thing Rooney did all night.

He may not respect the fans but at least he's got a little self respect! Nearly every country in the world has a National Anthem that talks of Nationhood, pride, values and identity. What have we got? The world must be laughing at us [except maybe North Korea, I'm sure Kim Jong Il thinks it's pretty good]

Some of the fans comments on BBC news 😆

"Refusing to sing it was the best thing Rooney did all night"

What a load of garbage. We're not talking about scrutinising the lyrics here, which Rooney would never fathom anyway, we're talking about putting a clenched fist on your heart and singing with the fans with pride and passion.

Liek it or not thats our national song which should provoke pride and determination. Opting out of it shouldn't be an option.

I'm pretty angry with their whole attitude, who knows how those poor buggers that paid thousands to go watch are feeling these morning.

Utter garbage. I'm not at all concerned now that I'm missing Wednesdays match. Especially as I'll be checking in for a flight to Geneva for the Passeport Do Soleil in Morzine 🙂

No deep pride for representing your country, their overpaid 'stars' on a jolly with only a care for the spec of their next Bentley Continental GT

That was one thing I always liked about Vinnie Jones, he learnt and sang the national anthem. Wear your shirt with pride. 😀
