England and Portugal

June 26, 2006 20066 5:54 am | In Money Tips |

If England continues playing like this, I'm not sure if they'll even win against Portugal who already has Costinha and Deco missing in the next match. Besides Beckham's free kick which I think is really beautiful, I thought Carrick was hopeless, all he did when he get the ball is pump it to the front almost aimlessly when there's only 1 striker! Thought playing as holding midfielder means trying to keep possession of the ball!

4-5-1 isn't just England's cuppa tea! Most of the time, I think Lampard and Gerard are confused about whether they should stay behind and come from the deep or stay upfront. And funnily today, the normally rock-solid Terry doesn't seem too be himself, but I think this imbalance could be due to Carrick's influence.

So if Sven is really clueless about his tactics, this is my suggestion:

4-1-3-2

4 defenders at the back (left to right): A. Cole, Terry, Ferdinand, Carragher
1 holding midfielder: Hargreaves
3 midfielders (left to right): J. Cole, Lampard, Gerrard
2 strikers: Rooney, Crouch.

And although Beckham scored today, he has to be sacrificed for not contributing much to the gameplay.

    1. I'm with the traditional England 4-4-2. I shudder to think what would've happened if they ever had to meet Argentina in this state

    2. It is just before the England v Brazil match. Ronaldinho goes into the Brazilian changing room to find all his team mates looking a bit glum.
      “What’s up?” he asks.

      “Well, we’re having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it’s important but it’s only England. They’re sh*t and we can’t be bothered.”

      Ronaldinho looks at them and says, “Well, I reckon I can beat them by myself-you lads go down the pub.”

      So Ronaldinho goes out to play England by himself and the rest of the Brazilian team go off for a few jars. After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads:

      “Brazil 1 - England 0 (Ronaldinho 10 minutes)”. He is beating England all by himself!

      Anyway, a few pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers, “It must be full time now, let’s see how he got on.” They put the tv on.

      “Result from the Stadium: Brazil 1 (Ronaldinho 10 minutes) - England 1 (Lampard 89 minutes).”

      They can’t believe it; he has single-handedly got a draw against England!!

      They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate Ronaldinho. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sitting with his head in his hands.

      He refuses to look at them. “I’ve let you down, I’ve let you down.”

      “Don’t be daft; you got a draw against England, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very, very end!”

      “No, no, I have, I’ve let you down…I got sent off after 12 minutes.
