Can't see anything coming of the Figo incident, what with Fifa already allowing such a poor ref to officiate two high-class (and cynical) teams. It would be too much like kicking Portugal when they're down than to have the balls to say Figo was out of order.

But he was out of order, and the yellow cards were mostly deserved. Two dirty sides dirtying it up.

Not worried about France or Ghana ;)

Shame we'll meet Spain or Brazil :/

Though either way I still give us a chance. If Brazil aren't on song they're vulnerable and we've a stronger defence and better keeper than anyone they've played so far.

We aren't good enough up front really and that really, really needs to be addressed. If we do though, we've a chance against anyone.

Fraid not.AFAIK FIFA rulings state that if the ref sees something and punishes a player then the review board cannot later punish the player again. It would be seen to be overruling the ref and would be taking powers away from them.

Well in that case the Fifa rules need to be changed.

People have been suspended for far lesser things than headbutting a player deliberately.
 
No-one can tell me Rooney isn't fit after the performance he put in for the last game.

Anyone still saying he's not fit either didn't watch or knows nothing about footy.

You did watch, didn't you? ;)
 
Rooney's fit he just needs someone up there with him

I dont want him running his arse off on his own against Portugal

I considered shouting for Crouchy, but then my sense kicked in

Necessity is the mother of invention!!

Crouch may not be the best striker, he may not even be considered to be good enough but he's all we have and that being the case he must be used.

Rooney is ineffective as a lone striker, so Crouch must play.
 
expect a red card for an england player in this game i say.

portugal will be loving it.

im wary of this game because of this fact... but the teamsheet gives us a better squad.. whether we can play the correct way is another question.
