To say it was much better than the last two shows how poor the last two were Three or four good chances to seal it, but we don't take em and end up hanging on for dear life But, we are through - and in first place - which is all that matters. You know what they say, grinding out results when you aren't playing well is title winning form Roll on the round of 16  ah |

We've now fell into the much tougher half of the draw.
Our next two games are potentially Germany followed by Argentina.
Bloody Yanks!

Capello is brilliant, it's just because he's fucking Italian You get the eejits on his back calling for some English bloke to be manager. Pathetic.

Kudos to John Terry for the flying diving header block type effort, genius. ;D

Upson was pretty poor but great credit to him for that brilliant block at the end. Much better showing from England but we have to start taking our chances. It's just like watching Stoke a lot of the time! |

He was excellent but I think we still looked defensively poor at times.
Glen Johnson was lucky to stay on the pitch too imo.

Even though we won, I can't help but feel a little deflated because England finished 2nd and now we face the task of facing potentially the Germans and then maybe the Argies. The Yanks however may get Ghana/Serbia and let's say Uruguay.
I am happy but it makes it bloody harder than it maybe should be.

To be gifted a potential run to the semis of Ghana, then South Korea/Uruguay, then have it snatched away in injury-time is pretty annoying.

I'm just really pissed off that we finished 2nd. We finished behind a country that don't even play football.

I find the euphoria after beating a country less than 20 years old, with a population as big as Brum and finishing second to the US embarrassing. The woman shouting 'go babes' at the screen in the pub didn't help.

I am just glad to be through to the next round.
It dont matter who we play, every team is going to play there best against us in the World Cup.
If we would of played Slovenia in a friendly then we would of slotted 4 or 5 past em.
I say bring on any team.
I hope we get ZE GERMANS to be honest. How good would it be to knock them out.

The woman shouting 'go babes' at the screen in the pub didn't help. Nobody's celebrating finishing second to USA: They're celebrating advancing to the next round of the World Cup - I didn't realise levels of celebration had to correlate with opposition country population size. Bet you'd be happy if we beat India! |

To be honest, I will never be able to get past the filthy amounts of money these players earn and what I expect as a result. |

not a bad performance at all, at times in the 1st half we played very well, ok the nerves got into us in the 2nd half thats natural, weve given ourselves one hell of a mountain to climb now tho, but, both germany and argentina if we play them both are beatable! i saw enough in our team that made me think we can still be a huge force at this tournament
