These two teams have been as bad as Greece they've just cancelled each other out, Algeria looked the better of the two teams to me but I can't see England (and USA for that matter) not hammering both of them.
 
I can only see England & USA taking 6 points from these 2 teams both are poor.

Just matter of who scores the most.

You would play 4-5-1 with a Rooney who hasn't scored in a competitive game for yonks?

He played quite a few England games (and Man Utd games too) injured at the tail end of the season. The whole setup isn't exactly geared towards getting the best out of him. You mentioned before that the strikers should be getting into better positions for Lennon's crosses, are you having a laugh? Lennon should be able to pick them out without overhitting them, or hitting them too high that nobody can head them. Half the time he doesn't even look up to pick anyone out, yet you expect the strikers to somehow get into positions where they don't even know the ball is going to land because Lennon's crosses can be so inconsistent.

He didn't have a good game yesterday at all, nobody will dispute that, but for the idiots in this thread to suddenly label him overrated, it's a massive overreaction on the back of the opening game.

Capello needs to push Gerrard forward, just behind Rooney in a 4-4-1-1 formation and play Barry and Lampard in central midfield with Cole on the left wing. It seems too blatantly obvious to everyone else that Cole should be playing on the left ahead of anyone else.
 
I walked into a bar over here to watch the England vs USA match, sporting my England footy top. It was an Irish bar so I figured a ton of UK lads and lasses would be there... literally half of the entire pub booed me for a good 60 seconds.

At first I laughed and looked to the ground then I threw up my arms and started yelling "yeaahhh" and pulled up the badge on my England top and kept pointing to it.

It was a really good atmosphere, it's a shame they were chanting for the wrong team but I was really happy to see footy so popular over here.

The sods came over to high five me when that US goal was fumbled in.

I text my Dad and told him a few things they were chanting about the Common Wealth and Rooney and I promptly received a text back telling me to go home immediately. I sent my Mom the same text, she asked if I had my England top on and when I said yes she replied "Good on ya!". HAHA!!
