Trinidad & Tobago derserve some credit. They held on for 80 or so minutes. They came so close to scoring on a few occasions. I hope T&T make it to the round of 16!

they did well but will have to play much better to play in round of 16's . i think they dont deserve to play in round of 16 bcoz they were playing very very defensive.Left_Hander said:

To give a freekick to the opposition players don't really have to complain to the referee. He should have seen it by himself or the referee on the line.
Anyway good for Crouch he scored the first goal, otherwhile I couldn't see England getting pass through the Trinidad and Tobago defence. The first goal brought a disappointment for Trinidad and Tobago, which lead to weaker defence and from there the second goal came.
I hope Sweden and England both go for the win when they face each other.

: is'nt he?
Crouch imo has extremely poor ball control, is useless in the air and gives away far too many freekicks.
I've watched him play several times for England and Liverpool and never seen anything to suggest that he should be pulling on an England shirt ahead of Jason Lee (let alone Darren Bent, Jemaine Defoe et al.)

Depressing yet true. This is what happens when you pick one striker who has played twice for his club since January, one who is still meant to be injured for another 2 weeks, one who has never played a premiership game or scored a premiership goal and isn't trusted sufficiently by his manager to actually be allowed onto the pitch, and Crouchy.
I put Crouch for England in the same bracket as Emile Heskey and Andy Cole: nice idea but time to abandon it and move on fast.

Owen is actually a genuine finisher but he's just not had any games in the last season and that's been the reason why he's struggling,if I was Sven Id give him 90 for the next game.I have a feeling that once the knouckout matches start it will be Owen who will score for England.

Crouch on his day is a good player, and many defenders would struggle against him.
His ball control goes with the rest of his game, when he's playing well his touch is good, and visa versa.
I think Ashton would be better as a target man.

Looks like Rooney has a good chance of starting today.If I was the English Coach,Id watch the game between Ecuador and Germany,if Germany win that and top their group then Id make sure that England do the same by beating Sweden,otherwise if Ecuador top,then Id make sure that we lose as well as its important that we dont meet the hosts so early.Hopefully Walcott gets a chance as well to play.
