England V egypt Who's Gonna play

[danroyle]

Am off to watch this tomorrow not been to the new wembley so looking forward to this.

Am really hoping we get to see some of the fringe players like james milner,agbonlahor joe hart defoe Get a runout tomorrow. It would be good to see what other options we have, Every recent world cup rooney and owen have gone into it injured and then not played well when fit. I still have no idea why crouch was dropped in the last euro's he was on great Form.

i know we probably wont win it this year but a quarter or semi final would be nice.

Theyre in my accumulator so hopefully our strongest team until were 3-0 up and semi safe

Egypt are a pretty good team man 3-0 might be a long shot

I think he's more saying that he doesn't want any second string players on the pitch until we're 3-0 up - hopefully guaranteeing a win.

Personally, I think we should be playing a strong team. Capello should know exactly who he wants to play for England, and now it's a question of gelling the team together properly.

Having said that, I wish Rooney wasn't playing.

I hope Ashley Young gets a run out, also Milner. other than that, it'll probably be the same old faces, and rightly so, we dont get enough time to play together, so gotta get the minutes on the pitch together.

I would be very happy to be 3-0 up even with our first team seeing as Egypt have won the last 3 African nation Cups, and are ranked in the FIFA top 10 one position below us

I predict a tough 2-1 to England. Im sure we will see some experimentation in this game. Hopefully an appearance/start for Joe Hart would be good for us. He has certainly earned it with his form over the season so far.

FIFA rankings are a little misleading, they're actually 17th atm (were 10th), but, like you said yourself, they have won the African Nations, and aren't a walk over, but they are flattered by playing a lot of smaller African teams, for instance, there last game against USA which they lost 3-0.

It will be comfortable i should think.

But they always win it, and lose everything else.

Egypt 3-2

[santa claus]

Egypt 1-0 up at half time. Looks the same old story - England are a bunch of prima donnas more concerned about their own individual performance (for the papers) whilst the opposition, in this case Egypt, play as a team.

England are still playing the fall over for no good reason, spit and scream at the ref game and Egypt are getting on with it. It doesn't bode well...

[Russ]

Much better 2nd half. Walcott just isn't beckham, neithers SWP but he is a different option. Shame young never got in the squad though. Thought carrick played well too. Ref was dire, didn't let it flow at all, which didn't suit us at all. Egypt looked ok, pass well and work for oneanother but never really looked capable of winning the game. Work is needed however, even if it's just the line up

[mikemikemi]

Yup, poor first half, promising second though.

[danroyle]

second half was good wright philips and crouch made the difference lampard was terrible in the first half and carrick nto much better when he replaced him.

Was awesome in the stadium we were about ten yeards from all the egypt fans and they made some noise.

[Russ]

Think you're wrong about Carrick, he played very well, passed it well, covered for Brown to get forward.

apart from the joy of seeing england score I dont think i'll ever get tired of watching Wright-philips and Crouch celebrate goals together! http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/...Ia2Ja/x610.jpg
