hehe the German defense is abysmal from what ive seen of it so far. They dont hold lines well, they dont bring someone towards the ball when its being interchanged between strikers/midfielders on the floor. This will lead to many gaps being opened up by through balls being put through. (Bread and butter for Michael Owen). Was watching Sky Sports News before the world cup and they had interviews of the german fans saying there attack is great, midfield is good, defense is bad.

Also with the Germans dunno if anyone else was listening to the commentary but on average theres been 4 goals conceded/scored in games since Mr Klinsman took over. Now id fancy that Germany couldnt score more than 2 against a decent defence (England/Italy/Spain). Also Lehmann is a problem waiting to happen.

So nervous about the England game today, cant wait to get back in the shirt and down the pub for it!

Anyone got opinions on whether Rooney should play? I think they should put him on if were in a spot of bother (which being England could happen!). If were cruising i see no need to bring him on and maybe give someone like Wallcott a run out.
