England V Ukraine | 19th June

I would give some players a rest and start..

-----------Defoe
Chamberlain-Rooney-Walcott
-------Milner--Gerrard
Baines--Lescott-Jagielka-Kelly
------------Hart

Strongest team. Learn how to fucking defend, better France's score.

Providing Spain finish top of group C of course.

England > Spain anyway.

You do realize we haven't qualified Chris?

Baines, Lescott and Jagielka can play well together and have done before. Glen Johnson is a shambles in defence so should be replaced.

Some players need a rest or will be useless, my line-up is very offensive.

Shevchenko to dash England's hopes in the 90th minute.

Good intentions Chris. But I think we need our strongest team out for this next game. Sending out players who won't play much for the rest of the tourney might cock up.

I'd go for:




I suppose either Carroll or Welbeck, both have done enough to earn a starting place. Carroll will bring that balance I believe and will help the defence more from set pieces. Rooney is our best player besides Gerrard and obviously needs to start.

I didn't see the game so I can't say how well everyone played, but I would probably play Rooney and Welbeck up front together.

I would go for:

Ukraine to pull out a magnificent game in their own country. Shevcenko will score and set them up to the Quarter-finals

I would be ecstatic.

I think they will draw and England will advance. But I wouldn't be too surprised if Ukraine snatch 3 points and kick England out. England have been poor this tournament. They parked the bus against France and barely managed to beat Sweden. Rooney will be much needed.

Do Ukraine have a good left winger? If not, it will be good to see our best attacking player pushing up from right back and setting up chances like he did for Terry last game.

Yarmolenko?

Yarmolenko?

He played on the right wing against France, didn't he?

Yeah, just saw it. Konoplyanka is their left wing.

Shitting it for tomorrow .

Will Shevchenko be fit for this game?

50/50 as far as I know but he trained today.

England will end Ukraine.

Just got a sneaky feeling that he'll be the reason we lose, if we lose. Hopefully Rooney will propel us into the knockout stages. Which reminds me, are the knockout stage fixtures yet to be drawn?

No more cutting away fifty times to Rooney whenever he stands up in the stands. Because standing up shows his commitment.

When can we expect to see the England team announced or leaked? I think we'll start with Rooney and Welbeck up front and Carroll on the bench. It would be interesting to see Rooney and Carroll playing together though.

Yes.

1A plays 2B;

1C plays 2D





1B plays 2A;

1D plays 2C.

Shevchenko has been lethal in this tournament, underestimating Ukraine could get England knocked out...

Shevchenko's only 50/50

So Walcott and Welbeck set to start tonight then.

That will be the team I think.
Although Terry is dreadful.
Walcott will be the super sub again.
