Re: and
Yes as I could have got those 4 assists bearing in mind the quality of the opposition. There are much better players like Lennon if I take off my clarat and blue glassesHerts Iron wrote: Becks didnt try to do some fancy sh*t. He stacked it, Crouch just tried to be clever.
Remember earlier in the season when he couldnt score at all for Liverpool? Took a pen and missed it. He cant take penalties, let alone try to do something like that. He was on a hatrick and just should of put his foot through it (He now has it, another great goal).
Also I dont love Beckham, I just recognise class when I see it, and he has it. 4 assists in 2 games, and you would drop him.

Alright, I seem to be at odds with many people and also with the Guardian's report ('Jamaica were poor opposition'), but it seemed to me that they played hard and fast from the beginning, continually went on the attack and displayed no small amount of pace, power and individual skill. I thought the scoreline didn't do JM justice and that England's forwards were outstanding. Jamiaca seemed to chase and tackle everything. Better organised teams may find England out, and I predict high-scoring games where England are involved which will be fine as long as we score more.Rocketron wrote:Does no-one else think that England played crappily against the international equivalent of a pub team ?
Pub team? No way.

Better organised teams ensure few goals are scored.
I call Jamaica the international equivalent of a pub team because they didn't play as a team, but rather a group of variously gifted players.

Sounds fair, but I think England showed a great deal of flair up front, maybe because of space given them, but maybe not. I mean I can see a typical old West Ham peformance coming up.Rocketron wrote: A more apposite definition of "oxymoron" will be difficult to find.

Except that it was Crouch who turned the game when he came on against Argentina. Wouldn't call Poland ***** either.Dannyboylister wrote:Am i the only one whose missing crouchs' hattrick. It was a blatent og. They seem to give him goals all the time.
I'll laugh my head off when Deano takes his place. Although he doesnt play for the right club does he. Everyone is making a fuss but he's only ever played against ***** for England. I'll hold my hands up if he plays well in the WC but i've got a feeling he'll be shown for what he is against better op's
Yep. I thought Jamaica started quite surprisingly strongly. I thought we could be in for a bit of a 'derby' game. But then they started to peeter out and their defence was shockingly bad, IMO. I turned over to Trinidad-Czech Republic a bit later, the Trinidadians are a lot better than Jamaica, much, much better organised, it won't be nearly as easy as that.vietnammer wrote: Alright, I seem to be at odds with many people and also with the Guardian's report ('Jamaica were poor opposition'), but it seemed to me that they played hard and fast from the beginning, continually went on the attack and displayed no small amount of pace, power and individual skill.

I think the problem was their midfield, the first goal they allowed Fatboy run passed him. Still Michael Manley, Bob Marley, Lee "Scratch" Perry and Robbie Earle your boyz took one hell of a beating!!
