It wont really help playing crouch tbh, because our whole team wil throw long balls at him, and anyone who watched chelsea liverpool will notice that Carvalho can handle him in the air 99/100 times.

I vote 3-5-2

--------Ferdinand -----Terry ----- A.Cole---------

-------------Hargreaves-----Gerrard--------------


-----Beckham------------------------J. Cole------

----------------------Lampard--------------------


---------------Rooney----------???---------------

Works a ****ing treat on Fifa :p .
 
I quite like the formation we played the other day with carrick in the middle holding it. I dont get why they keep changing this if we stuck to 1 formation and really worked on it then it would be flawless then think about something else. We seem to change every match and it aint helping our guys!

This could be an interesting game and im expecting ot to end 10 on 10, i can see then taken down one of our guys got a feeling it will be rooney :mad: and it could get nasty
 
England and Portugal have met 21 times. Overall, England have an overwhelming edge, having won nine and drawn nine, whilst losing only three times. In competitive matches, the sides are evenly matched at two victories apiece, whilst recording four stalemates.

These nations have each recorded a victory over the other at the World Cup. In 1966, hosts England defeated Portugal 2-1 in the semi-finals. Twenty years later, the Iberians avenged the defeat by beating England 1-0 in the group phase.

Their last meeting came in the quarter-finals of Euro 2004. Portugal triumphed after a tense penalty shoot-out that saw Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo slot home the winning spot kick.

Ferdinand can't play in a back 3.
 
i think we'll get beaten by portugal, however my dad think's it will be an England v Germany final with us beating France in the Semi's. How cool would 66' all over again be :cool:

i must say our squad is very strong bar the defence... they scare me :(
 
Even though england have been playing VERY poor upto now, I think they will raise their game slightly against a weakened portugal side and come away 2-1 winners. Rooney to score first :)

I also think France will beat Brazil though :D
