Nearly there now, only one friendly to go and the serious stuff begins.

The bus will break down in the desert and the players will be challenged to a game of 'beach' football by a local Bedouin tribe.
England will lose by not being able to score as the ball is only passed sideways when they havea kick-abouta proper game.
Large amounts of camel dung will be smoked and Rooney will have a hair transplant so he can become a hippy.
Blackpool will become the centre of the footballing world as beach football will dominate, in an attempt to take away the popularity of Twenty20 cricket.
There will be a competition for new footballing cliches to be used, and water (hubbly bubbly) pipes will be used at half-time instead of oranges.
It's the end of football as we know it!
And I hope the Dutch win, cos I like both their home and away kits!

To me, at the moment, they look defensively frail, especially when minus a first pick or two. (Brazil can do too, btw, and they don't do too badly!). Logic tells me they'll do well to qualify from the group stage but I wouldn't bet on them going further.
mangaman said:They need a solid central midfielder - Barry looks doutful / Hargreaves is out / Carrick isn't good enough.
That's why our defence is always under pressure - we can't keep the ball when we've got it or protect the back 4 when they opposition have it.
