Switzerland v England

[Ginger Ninjas]

SWP coming on. Great.

Got to feel sorry for Bent there - awful pass by SWP

[Kitsondinho]

Got his goal now....

[LoyalRoyalFan]

Bent shows why he should have gone to the World Cup.

Bent's got his goal now though. Leathered home from 12 yards.

[Row Z Royal]

Bent shows why he should of gone to the World Cup.

Have.



That's his first goal in how many appearances for England? That's why he (rightly imho) didn't go to the WC.

7. Better ratio than Heskey (esp if you think most of Bent's apps are as sub)

Oh, and McAnuff >>> SWP

[LoyalRoyalFan]

What did Heskey offer in the World Cup? Bent hasn't played for England that much, while Heskey has.

[Row Z Royal]

Heskey was the option. Bent's of a similar ilk as Defoe - on the shoulder of the last man, etc.

Still, it's Bent's time to take his chance.

Only 7?! Fair enough then!

[LoyalRoyalFan]

A different option would have been Kevin Davies.

[cmonurz]

We've got enough moderate strikers without picking one who hardly scores at club level.

[LoyalRoyalFan]

Cameron Jerome?

[Row Z Royal]

Cameron Jerome?

Oh pur-lease. What are you on about?

[LoyalRoyalFan]

Cameron Jerome?

Oh pur-lease. What are you on about?

Trying to list half-decent English strikers.

[cmonurz]

I'd pick Michael Owen again before going near the likes of Davies and Jerome.

[Row Z Royal]

Cameron Jerome?

Oh pur-lease. What are you on about?

Trying to list half-decent English strikers.

Yet you complain about Heskey?


Incredible.

[Stranded]

Scotland nick a winner in the 7th min of 5 mins injury time.

Enjoyed that, had to watch a Swiss stream though. I don't want to reinforce stereotypes but every advert was for a bank. Glad Switzerland had some highlights in the second half because their half time analysis was a very one sided analysis of their player shinning it over the bar, and that clip was replayed repeatedly despite not even being a decent chance.

[LoyalRoyalFan]

Trying to get the point across that we don't have many good strikers at the moment. We need to take a gamble on someone.

[cmonurz]

Hart, Lescott, Barry, Milner, Johnson, SWP. Six Man City players on the pitch at the end of the game.
