Well we need to win were playing in fornt of some of the most passionate fans in the country and Roonaldo has taken the place of donkeyboy.

Could this be the start of something good or will england win and SVEN keep his job ?

The team looks to be playing the popular champ manager 4-1-2-1-2 formation although I have recently been england I unlike Sven did not play this formation while playing Turkey so lets just see if Svens Champ Man experience is different from mine.

Starting Line Up!

James
Neville, Ferdinand, Campbell, Bridge
Butt
Beckham, Gerrard
Sholes
Rooney, Owen

So Ladies and Gentlemen Lets see how tonight Pans out.

what times kick off?

so i know when i need to leg it down to the common room to get a seat

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 19:41

kick off at 8:00PM I think or maybe 7:45

so basically I'm useless but someone else will be able to help.

Tukish Starting Line Up

Rustu
Fatih, Alpay, Bulent, Ergun
Okan, Tugay, Basturk,Emre

Somebody and Nihat

if anyone got that other forward I'm sure they will tell you

hmmmmm gerrad is on the left. Sometimes i do wonder about sven, but hey he won the seria a title at lazio so who am i to doubt him :dunno:

Also why isnt hasan sas playing, he was their best player imo in the world cup, is he injured, if so that is good news for england

lol its gonna be funny to see ian wright on bbc, he cracks me up

Exorcist · 2 Apr 2003 at 19:43

Ilhan Mansiz of Besiktas will play with Nihat Kavechi of Real Sociedad upfront

Grouch · 2 Apr 2003 at 19:50

ok, i have the sinking feeling in place. I'm all prepared for an awful england performance

BrenOS · 2 Apr 2003 at 19:53

no hasan sas?

thats a huge bonus, hes their biggest threat

JAzz · 2 Apr 2003 at 19:55

is it just me or is the crowd booing during the turkish national anthem?

Also i think people are rating turkey too highly they are good but no where near as good as some people think!

sas is on the bench but they have someone as good in nihat, ive seen him for sociedad and he is class

I wonder how many Welsh, Scottish and Irish posters are keeping an eye out on the score to start gloating. :rolleyes:

Glad to see Rooney being given a chance, good luck lads.

Davey_Pitch · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:04

Time to go and watch the game.

COME ON ENGLAND!!!

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:06

thats twice that emre has had a go at beckham

becks has got to be careful we know how wound up he can get and we really dont need him to get sent off etc etc

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:07

never a foul in a month of sundays ref Beckham got the ball FFS

BrenOS · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:08

theyre all trying to wind up beckham

keep your head lad

/just been booked, thats a load of crap

Aydon · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:08

Beckham out for the next game - Yellow Card for reaction

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:08

yellow card for Becks out of the Slovakia game

CALM down FFS lads otherwise were not gonna finish the game with 10 men.

JAzz · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:08

this is looking like it might turn into an ill tampered match. Beckham and nemre dont look like they are too keen on each other

He better be carefull.

rooney has to be carefull as well as they will be physical and attempt to wind him up.

beckham has a yellow, sheesh i thought him being the captain had made him wiser. He now misses the next game

memphisto · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:09

Gerrard is awful I'd rather see Heskey and thats saying something

beckhams cross was just as good as well

Big Kev · 2 Apr 2003 at 20:10

The Turks are playing Beckham really well, he's well psyched up and they're just teeing him up for another yellow, he really needs to calm down a bit or we're down to ten men.
