Aye, but he said that there were no excuses and a final was within reach. It is just a shame that England are not really that good.

Such a shame we don't have Kris Boyd up front, we might actually have a chance if he was in the side.

He's been injured most of the time. Had problems with his knee, some of which he put down the stress of joining a new club in a new country. He played the full game on Wednesday and reports said he looked strong in attack but fairly weak in defence.

Have you signed him as a left back?

Very unlucky for Bullard, hope the injury isn't as serious as it sounds.

Hull will probably come in for Nolan in January now. They can have him if they take Nicky Butt too.

I'd hope not, because it's a hell of a lot of money to spend on a second choice left back.

I agree. He can play there, but he's much better as a winger. Not sure how he'd fit into this diamond system lark.

Not at all, it's the first time I've ever genuinely believed we are capable of more than the last 16. But with the route to the final we will probably have we really should be in with a strong shout. Should it be them, if we can get over the Germany hoodoo in the quarters we're a better side than they are IMO, and the semi-final opponents will more than likely be whoever emerges top from the most difficult group - in which case we may be in better shape at that stage of the tournament - or the Dutch who will be about due to go mental, decide they all hate each other, and crash out with their worst performance as per usual. I personally think this may be one of Italy's poorer world cups.

I'm not for one minute saying we should march to the final easily, but we are definitely capable of getting there.

Congratulations on already winning your group and the second round game already. TBH, I don't even think you should turn up till the quarters start it is that clear cut.

Kris Boyd is gash. I never claimed otherwise. Still, with the resources England have at their disposal you would think that they would have a second striker capable of performing at the top level and a goalie that is worth his salt.

I know.

Serbia or Germany have the last 16 tie against England in the bag.

belting result for city last night. The big diffrence has been the pressure put on all across the pitch not letting the other team get the ball down too play even Adebayor did he's work. Wish Shay Given was Englisdh he is the best keeper in the world for me
