Come on Shaka.
Keep a clean sheet on Thursday.
May even do Engalnd a favour and force Sven to make some changes to tactics / team (like 1986 & Robson's injury plus Wilkings sending off).

Agree on that one, and glad to see the back of him. An emotionless manager if ever there was one.
In view of the fact he will be leaving his post after the tournament would assume his loyalty lies with his own country, but he would be the most hated manager ever if he screws up by not playing his best options. Although thinking about it, he may have already managed that blunder long before the T & T match.
Would find it more exciting though from a footballing perspective for this forthcoming Hislop/ England match to be all square, and infact a win for T & T would be 8-)

How about Shaka keeps a clean sheet including a Fatboy penalty save and a brilliant Gerrard 40 yard screamer tip-over, then tweaks a calf muscle and is subbed off at half time only for his replacement to concede a late Rio header....?

That'd do me fine.....

Bugger.

I wasn't wishing for a real injury jus a "My calf is a bit tight and I should go off but I'll be right as rain in 2 days" twinge-type thing so that he can say he kept a clean sheet against Ingerland...

C'mon Shaka!!!!
