No, they wouldn't deliberately lose, national pride would probably prevent that, but a draw would achieve the same result.

Therefore England cannot rely on Johnnie foreigner to do the job for us. We must do it ourselves!!!

[mealiff] 07/6/2002 11:51

G.. I like them sort of games especially if there's a follow on game or extra time !!!!

PS I hope England don't rely too much Beckham's input yet again .

that sounds quite reassuring actually.

I suppose another scenario could be that if we get beat by Argentina they will probably delibrately lose against Sweden !

and win for England would put us firmly in the driving seat.

A draw would be okay.
That would put the pressure on both Sweden and Argentina for their game.
If we beat nigeria by more than one goal and the other 2 draw in their match then we will go top on goal diference, each having 5 points. Then it could come down to a toss of the coin for 2nd place.

Puts the pressure on the Argentine more like.

Once we've hammered them then they'll have to beat the Swedes to qualify.

[starseeker] 07/6/2002 11:32

Sweden won 2-1 against Nigeria, that certainly puts pressure on England

I liked the quote in one of the tabloids this week from someone who had just watched a match in the pub. "I always thought it was a game of two halves but now realise its a game of five pints!" G.

What a result for the Irish team!
Watched it with the kids in the classroom.
The roof was lifted with that equaliser, - and that was only me!!

You'll never beat the IRISH :-)

Come on IRELAND!

I'm back home after a competition prize trip to the England vs Sweden match. Everything about it was fantastic, apart from the match result of course.

The Japanese are fanatical England fans, many with the official shirts. Lots of them speak English and want to be photographed with supporters from England.

The ones who don't speak English, just say "Beckham" and cheer.

The stadium was awesome, ten times as impressive as anything we could build here.

A weekend I won't forget for a long time.

And is anyone on this BB watching from the US? What kind of reaction did the excellent USA result bring?

[m.t.glass] 05/6/2002 15:26

Congratulations to the Irish. Superb performance. Finnan at right back did well. Ditto Staunton. No bad players amongst them. Hope they go through.

Rivaldo fined £4000!, about .015% of his annual wage, poor man.

England...... Will we play Heskey again at left wing? a 6ft plus right footed centre forward, running down the left wing, trying to get the ball on his right foot to cross to 2 men 5ft 8ins in height market by 2 6ft something centre halves.

'Well they displayed what England lacked...'


what an ENglish manager?

[martini] 05/6/2002 14:44

Mealiff
Well they displayed what England lacked...
Commitment, passion and fight and that is worth a result in any game.

What team spirit! Pity we didn't show a similar passion against Sweden. They deserved that point and wouldn't it be ironic if they went through after all the Roy Keane hubris. They are definitely bigger than one player and they just proved it.

[hjb] 05/6/2002 14:18

Yessssss. 1-1 equaliser for the Irish. Injury time.
