England v Egypt

[Craig_H]

82 mins played, and Torres is looking ****ing knackered for Spain. Del Bosque isnt gonna take him off though

[SimonNo7]

3-1 Crouch again.

Class act.

Certainly seems to do it time and again in an England shirt (albeit maybe a little offside for this one).

[SimonNo7]

that striker who is on for Egypt was recommended as someone that Liverpool should sign.(by an arab).
He scored the winning goal in the african nations.

Apparently he's scored 6 goals in 8 internationals.

45 minute run out for Nando will be good tonight. A little sharpness before Monday.

Yossi and Dirk both started and scored.

[SimonNo7]

top work mate! Agree there. When were you at Town? I work on a radio station there, the club do a fair bit promoting games with us

Along bloody time ago that's for sure. My trial was back in 1985 I think. I was too young and too small

[dww]

Pretty unsurprising discovery that Defoe and Rooney isn't a viable partnership tonight then. It'll be interesting to see who gets the big man alongside Rooney role in the final squad.

Still seems a lot of positions up for grabs actually. Especially considering how easily we qualified.

It's the 85th minute and he's still on. He'll be playing all 90 minutes.

David Villa's been taken off, but Nando's still on

Evra's just hacked him down actually, but Nando's up on his feet again, fortunately.

He come on at half time.

So has Torres played the full game or half a game?

[wiw]

Milner is great eh? Really reminds me of a young Gerrard

Crouch should be in the side on merit. Defoe's having a good season, but when it comes to England, Crouch delivers time and time again.

Some players are just more suited to international football than others, even if the others may outperform them at club level.

Crouch always seems to look class for England but whether Defoe, or the useless buffoon Heskey, Crouch always seems to get overlooked for the first XI.

We're into stoppage time, and Torres is still on.

Started on the bench.

Come on at half time for Villa.
