(Winners of group A play the runners up of group B. Winners of group B play the runners up of group A. Just in case anyone out there was unsure) The media is, and has been for the past few weeks, in a speculation frenzy over this. Would it be better for us (England) to play the host nation and all that that entails, or Ecuador? England have a slight advantage in the speculation stakes here as we play Sweden five hours after Germany play Ecuador. Personally, I would like England to win the group. I don't have a TV so I have not had to endure the (seemingly) endless hours of debate about broken metatarsals, striker confidence, diamond formations and flat pack fours, oops sorry, thats the furniture ;) Don't get me wrong, I love a good old discussion on tactics and player selection but the British press remind me of packs of vultures and hyenas fighting for any scrap and hype hype hype.....STOP. (Phew, nearly went into rant mode then, I despise 99.99% of all TV and press media). [i]happy thoughts and a deep breath[/i] Where was I? Oh yes, Thinking of the next round, England have three playes on a yellow card (Crouch, Gerrard and Lampard) who may miss the next game if they get another yellow in this match. Keeping that in mind I think Gerrard and Crouch may be rested, with Carrick and Rooney stepping up. Rooney is a phenomenal player who needs to get himself match fit uber quick if we are to progress much further. I've got a comfy armchair next to a big TV booked for both games today so I'm just doing all my jobs and chores so I'm not distracted from the beautifull game. [b]Some Musings[/b] It really tickled my funny bone the other day while watching the Brasil v Australia match with all the exotic names in the Brazilian side like Ronaldino, Ronaldo and the like, that the scorer of the second goal was called FRED :D Do you have any thoughts on who may be the top goal scorer in the competition as well as what team will win? At the moment these are the top ten: Fernando Torres - Spain = 3 Omar Bravo - Mexico = 2 Tim Cahill - Australia = 2 Hernan Crespo - Argentina = 2 Agustin Delgado - Ecuador = 2 Miroslav Klose - Germany = 2 Rodriguez Maxi - Argentina = 2 Tomas Rosicky - Czech Republic = 2 Carlos Tenorio - Ecuador = 2 David Villa - Spain = 2 With Argentina looking like they are competition favorites I think Crespo may be the best bet, but I am hoping that Rooney and Owen get their form back and claim joint top scorers. Yes I can dream like a chump err I mean Champ ;) [img]http://tao.serveit.org/sigs/glasstao.gif[/img] [doh] fixing spellingks after near media rant[./doh] [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/4175]Tao[/url] on 06-20-2006 14:13)[/small] Loading...
