    So, England are through to the knock-out stages. But was the performace against Sweden good enough? Or did they struggle? Let us know your thoughts on the defence, the Owen injury, Owen Hargreaves' performance and anything else you'd like to share.

      I actually fancy Ecuador to beat them, but maybe I will be wrong. If they do progress it will be as far as they go.

      To be fair, I thought Hargreaves had a pretty decent game. I mean, he didn't really make that position his own or anything but he showed that he isn't out of place in the England squad. But Beckham's inability to defend was worrying and the fact that we have 2 massive central defenders who can't deal with set-pieces is scary.

        any team that plays England only have to keep crossing the ball, because sooner or later they will score. England are hopeless at defending crosses and we all boast on what wonderful central defenders we have.
        England ...no chance

      owen was unlucky with his injury he always comes good in the later stages.at the moment beckham is a waste of time it just shows erikson is to scared to sub him, look at the trinidad game he took carragher off and put beckham at right back,whats all that about and i think gerrard needs to play more forward than he does, look at the damage he does when he gets forward

      I don't think England played too badly to be honest. Ok we all know they need to tighten up on their defence, but on the whole I was more convinced that they can up their game, after watching that game. I get tired of all the slating the squad are getting though. They won their group, they can't be playing that badly can they? As for Michael Owen? Well we won't miss him too much. He's been as much use to England as I would be. It's a shme he's injured though. Give Becks and the boys a chance,they may surprise us!!!
