Im not sure about that personally as James surely wont be 100% fit either way. Theyve got 3 or 4 that arent at quite the same level as the rest of the team but they are so dangerous going forward. 

I think Cuadrado could cause us problems, with the contrasting formations of 4-2-3-1 v 3 at the back. His pace and directness needs to be somehow prevented.

James has not bene fit for the whole tournament. He missed game 1 and came off last time. Hopefully he hasn't recovered as he is a dangerous player.

Cuadrado is an interesting one. Undeniable talent but was useless at Chelsea. I'm not worried about him.

I've said it before but don't mock the BBC until you've spent 2 weeks watching Alexi Lalas. You'll be craving Ferdinand after that.

England can do it today.

Whoever wins tonight should beat either of these two.

But the Swedish girls watching....

 

 

[Audax]

Losing to Germany actually probably helped the Swedes a lot...

[roverandout]

Either way..im praying for once they can do us proud

Was Martin Olsson the slightly better one or the slightly worse one?

I think we secretly switched the two when we sold Martin. Marcus suddenly got a lot better. Good business.

Who do they both play for now?

The original one that took a dive against Burnley

Martin - Swansea

Marcus - Derby

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see Martin back in the Prem to help relegate another team, he's a good record.

[SBlue]

Because we switched him for the crap one.

[Hanks]

He's got a penalty!! Legit as well

[Tom]

Seems he also hates Switzerland

[SBlue]

Classic Olsson. Still got it.

[Tom]

Neither team looked much cop today, tonight looks a much tougher game on paper 

[Ewood Ace]

Surely the BBC have got to get rid of Lawrenson after this tournament the man is absolutely clueless.

[roverandout]

Hes about as exciting as a paint drying contest

[Husky]

At the train station, heading towards an ex-pats bar. Just seen a group of Colombians with their yellow tops on. Nerves starting to kick in...the World Cup is here again.

[bazza]

I just hope no player is sent off. That always spoils a game.

[Commondore]

Sending the Swiss home without breaking much of a sweat... Who's next? 

[roverandout]

No james not even on bench..excellent news

[AdamRochina]

Big big miss for them .. great chance now 

[RevidgeBlue]

Damn you England. We've got the wrong bloke in charge but by a sheer accident of fate if Southgate's gamble doesn't backfire and we can somehow get past Columbia we only have to beat Sweden and Croatia to get to the World Cup Final.

It's the hope wot kills you.
