Maybe Blugaria can sneak a 1-1 after all.

I wonder is it from them that we learned that tactic

England 2-0 up after 25 mins, lampard and gerrard (they cant play together), Miller should have scored the 2nd chance for Scotland, came back off the post keeper on the deck and Miller hits it straight at him, probably a little unfair on the Duth keeper, a good save from his point of view.

They do look a lot more soild with Cappello alright.
Don't worry they will get knocked out on penos or even better lose the final on penos

Seriosuly though; I think any of the big teams can give them problems, just depends on who gets it right on the day. None of Germany, Argentina, Spain, Brazil or Holland would be easy games for them.

OK that's us playing for second place now.
Pity, I was looking forward to a winner-takes-all type of game against Italy in October.

**MeathDrog** · 09/09/2009, 7:35 PM

If Italy play ths well against us then we're not going to beat them anyway.

Maybe just as well that Bulgaria lose then. Eases the pressure on us getting 2nd.

Just playing Devil's advocate here.

**cavan_fan** · 09/09/2009, 7:35 PM

So Italy to be 4 points ahead with 2 to play. Cant help feeling even a win for us wouldnt be enough. as someone said on here, lets not waste our big win but keep it for the playoffs!!!

good stream here.

I have this bad feeling that England could well win the world cup.

People get that feeling every 4 years but it soon blows over.

Theyll win it in my lifetime I suspect.

France one all now.

Looking at some of our potential play-off opponents and we may rue this result. A France or a Portugal would tear us apart.

**The Legend** · 09/09/2009, 7:40 PM

i think we should hope for Italy to hammer Bulgaria now, to take down their goal difference.

Not necessarily.

Both have been very poor so far in their respective campaign.

Bulgarians have to be the laziest, most temperamental shower. Italy not that good. just being let play and once their tails are up they can turn it on.
