World Cup Warm ups

Postby yuppie » Fri May 30, 2014 7:59 pm

Not sure what to expect from England vs Peru.

Lots of people wondering why Welbeck starts.

Can Sturridge and Rooney work together.

All seems very underwhelming at present

Any half decent winger will tear Glen Johnson to pieces, he is diabolical.

Nice Goal though.

My Nan could play RB to a better standard, even with slippers on the wrong feet.

Peru just seemed to sit back in the second half and accept they weren't going to win it. Just keep England to as few goals as possible.

No idea why we had a friendly at Wembley with the WC just days away. Not the best way to prepare for the oxygen starved game that we will be playing with Italy.

Helps the FA coffers, other than that i see no other reason.

Seemed to be a few there though.

Englands build up to this world cup seems very calm. Compared to 4 years ago where suspensions and injuries were issues. Capello negotiatiing a better contract at the worse possible time as well as putting his name to some stats service(if memory serves me right) was not the best thing the coach could do.

This time under Woy they seem alot more settled, and Gerrard seems a good fit as captain. Seems to say the right things and not create controversy, well not yet. Still time for a Terry style question of tactics :rasta

Germany look very average in their opening 25 minutes against Cameroon, although thats partly down to Cameroon kicking lumps out of them every time they string more than 2 passes together.

Kheidara has had 4-5 kicks on him already.

Belgium take the lead away to Sweden, another goal for Lukaku to follow his Hat-Trick a few nights ago.

36 year old centre back Van Buyten is the only player in the Belgian World Cup squad to have 10 international goals!

They've got loads of talent but so young and inexperienced.
