Germany won 1 - 0 Poland...

 

I must say Poland & Germany were even until Poland went 10 men down...from there Poland hanged on and played defensive...Germany were trying to break down a determined Poland squad, in the late stages Oliver Neuville shot in from a Odonkor cross sealing the fate of Poland...

 

Before that Poland and Germany were at each others throats...Poland looked like they could snatch a win or even a draw when they were down a man but the injury time goal ended it for them...

Amazing match!!  Spain looked very good tonight...  I'm not a Raul fan and didn't mind him being benched...

 

I guess it's safe to say that most of the teams have played already... so far who do you think are the teams to beat?

 

VIVA ESPANA!!!

 

Brazil is a given...Australia surprised me...Korea looks good...Spain of course...Trinidad may upset some...France looks very unlucky...Germany too...

great win by Ecuador high flowing match, too bad Costa Rica couldnt snatch a few goals...

 

Half Time between England 0 vs 0 T&T...

 

England with all the possession of the world (62% vs 38%) and still cant crack it against T&T...a few wide shots, a few over the bar, miss target headers, a few long shots and ONE badly missed open shot by Crouch :grr: ... no rythm, no creative flow...mostly long shots, they need Rooney and rumors he could be put on...

 

The closet chance was when Beckham crossed into the box with Owen and Crouch in it and one T&T defender Owen lead the T&T player away...Crouch all had to do was control it down and strike...instead he went for a volley that went way off across the face of the goalie and he was open soo wide... :grr:

 

Crowd booed the England squad when coming off the field...

 

T&T inspiring defending and creating some chances...hard effort and team work is what is keeping this team from 1 - 0 down...played better creative football than England...

Rooney looks puffed haha

 

UPDATE:

 

Rooney is inspiring the English squad to attack and attack...

 

Crouch does a 360 in the box and trys a bicycle kick but fails...

 

Scare for England as T&T John runs around Cole and heads towards the box but Cole clears it up...

 

A nice build up of Crouch to Rooney to Lampard in the box but a soft kick to Hislop...

 

Lampard another chance in the space of 1 min but shots wide of goal and close to goal...

 

Yorke free kick to John and John swings a shot but bounces of the ground...

 

England fans chant and scream "Yeah" when T&T pass the ball to each other on the pitch...

 

UPDATE:

 

7mins to go and Beckham swings a cross deep inside the box and close to the right post and Crouch stands tall and scores a goal!!!! :thumbsupsmiley:

 

1 - 0 to England...

 

Gerard runs on open space...strikes and scores...England 2 - 0

 

Rooney amazing lifted the spirits of England...
