Brazilian men hate when women talk about how cute the players are. I´m just annoying guys here.

Is England employing a 4-5-1 system? I just heard Rooney's the lone striker with Crouch going to the bench. And Ecuador starts Kaviedes on the bench. 32°C / 90°F -- Warning to England.

ecuador 3 england 2

Yeah, it's really too hot to play well for England. Damn those tropical German summers!

30 minuts ecuador is playing so good

Four years ago the talk out of England was that 2006 would be THEE year because the regulars (Gerrard, Terry, Fedinand, Beckham, etc...) would be at their peak as far as their ages/careers are concerned. 3 1/2 matches into WM2006, I've seen nothing to suggest that England have the capacity to lift the Cup on 9 July. 1st half of Sweden, perhaps. But I think they looked much more impressive in EURO 2004 than they have these past couple of weeks. I wouldn't be surprised to see "Eng-er-land" arrive back at Heathrow on Tuesday. Sincerely, American sawker-know-it-all :

Yeah, I know what you mean. England seems to be quite changing in their performance. So far, they lack the technical skill and the attratcive way of playing they used to have. On the other hand they didn't succeed in the big tournaments since Euro 1996 even though it was more fun to watch them. Maybe it's the old German strategy: playing badly and so boring and then score when the adversaries have been lulled to sleep.

They've certainly practiced that strategy to perfection this entire tournament.

I still don't get the 4-5-1 formation. Ecuadorian defense has nothing to worry about as long as that continues. I'd like to see England take a big risk and throw Walcott on there.

Nooooooooooo! Beckham

Daniel.:
It took a crowd shot of Mrs. Beckham celebrating to get you out of hibernation, I see!
-
LOL! They might be winning but it's still not great
-
I think Portugal can take England easily. Holland, I'm not so sure.
-
I think that the match with Germany will be a hard match, but I think we can win! We have an expert in penalties! Abondanzieri!

I think Beckham tossed his cookies there.

Boca has relied on him many times.

Congratulations to the English team

Well done Eng... erm, I mean... Congratulations England on advancing. Can't wait to see that 4-5-1 work against Portugal/Holland.
