Let's get Argentina out the way first before we start dreaming of second round opponent's.LittleDevilWithAHalo said:
well, France vs England would be nice as well
DENMARK 1 : 1 SENEGAL
A beautiful goal by Senegal, finished coolly by Salif Diao at the end of a perfect counter-attack, gave the surprising Africans a point against Denmark in Daegu, Korea. After the hot-tempered encounter, both teams now sit on four points in Group A, with strong hopes of reaching the second round of the competition.

We might as well pack up and go home if we have to start relying on the result's of the other team's in our group, lol.
We will beat the argie's think positive.
Did you watch the Sweden game?
I am thinking positive - a draw will be a great result!
Then we can get better and better, more confident, thrash Nigeria, Senegal and the Brazil to set up a mouth-watering return match with Argentina in the final

Yep the sweden game was a slap in the face aint seen us play that bad since kevin keegan was manager.
I just have a good feeling we will beat Argentina going on theory of average's we are due a big win over them. England lift there game to a differnt level when were the underdog's.

Yes and Scotland are going to win Euro 2004 !!
Lets get some reality here - England were woeful in the second half - no shape , and they didnt deem to know what the fuck system they were playing.
But they can play as we know - but it Argentina are a huge task. It will be touch an go But who knows !!
Saudi game just about to kick off so for Irelands sake they need Cameroon to score only 1 or two !. I think Ireland will def go through as I cant see Cameroon getting a result agaisnt Germany

I have Southgate in there to purely men mark Ariel Ortega out of the game. Like he did so well at france 98.
Three central defender's at back cause Argentina are so dangerous around the penalty box useing A.cole and Hargreave's as wing backs have lots of energy and can get up the pitch to attack and back to help out in defence.
Sheringham,s my men to link it all togeather between the midfield and Owen.

Using wing backs is good option - cant believe they didnt start that way, as mid field got completely overrun agaisnt Sweden
England have got to be positive and playing 3,5,2 is a good system - Sven wont do it though bet it is 4 4 2 again

But that will leave the side unbalanced and playing a system that they haven't played for ages....
They have to stay with 4-4-2, but I think Southgate should be in I don't rate the Campbell/Ferdinand partnership against quality strikers (and Mills shouldn't even have been on the plane)

3 - 5 - 2 should really be played. If England wants to win then this is the only way forward I think. On the other hand 4 - 4 - 2 might be the better option considering how strong Argentina is in the midfield. For the sake of the game, 3 - 5 - 2 on both sides would be better. Otherwise it might just be a game that is played in the midfield only again.

You got to play Sol as he is so dangerous at free kicks corners etc, if you dont play him then who will go up for anything. everyone else is 5ft 5 apart from Heskey who cant jump anyway
that is a though - looking at the Senegal team - they are all huge so you need a couple of big lads in there

he is dangerous at corners, although 1 england goal in ? internationals is hardly prolific
...but he is also dangerous at the back in that partnership - not saying that he arn't both good players, they are, but they don't look to gell well!
