mick mcarthy should manage england, his pundit technique is truly brilliant, he really knows what he is doing

[frantique]

Daniel, It was 2-0!!!

I know a team is only as good as the scores on the board, however I think the Aussies were right up there with Brazil and probably played a better game than Brazil. We seemed to hesitate too often when in the goal area or with a shot and those few seconds can sure lose the moment. It was a great game. I watched the replay at 5 pm and it wasn't the same knowing the final score. (I had set my alarm for 1.30 am and didn't wake till 4.00 am - dang!!!!)

We have to draw or win our next game against Croatia which is on Friday at around 5.00 am our time to get into the next round.

I really really hope Brazil dont win the world cup. I dont like them what so ever there so full of themselfs. England will most probably win if they play well as a team unlike the past 2 matches. All the teams are looking good though the Ausses were unlucky that there were beaten by Brazil I thought they played better. I hope England win so i can get my money back on my shirt lol They deserve it aswell no matter what anyone else says.

[Jayzeee]

Yes, the Aussies definately gave Brazil a run for their money, especially in the first half. They are not a bad team. England V Sweden tommorow....2-0 England I reckon

England V Sweden tommorow....2-0 England I reckon

Okay, 2-2, so I got it half right. To be fair, in the second half, Sweden were a better team. Englands defence was all over the place, everytime Sweden took a corner, I couldn't bare to watch

Anyone else see the game?

[Angelia]

I watched it Jayzeee.And your right it was a great game.Had me on the edge of my seat.I agree Switzerland played better than England in the second half.And to tie it back up in the last minutes of the game.All i can say is WOW!!Theres some tough competition for World Cup this year.

[Jayzeee]

Theres some tough competition for World Cup this year.

I agree, and it seems that teams you would expect to not stand a chance are putting up a great fight against teams like Brazil and Argentina. I hope one of these "outsider" teams win it....just to prove that it can be done

[Supercalifragilistic]

that tackle by De Rossi was uncalled for. He deserved that red card. I think the ref was a bit strict lol (bit as in hitler was a bit nasty). I can't believe they didn't beat USA though.

I think they only play well against teams that might be trouble so i'm hoping they'll play against Czech like they played against Ghana

[rumble291]

Micheal Owens out for 5 months nooooo. We wont win the world cup now. What the [bleep] was sol cambell doing when sweden took a corner he was about to header it then it thought nah i'll kick it instead and missed it.
