England is strong. The group is actually the toughest group in the qualifiers since their are 3 teams which are in the top 20. Croatia, England and Ukraine. We have 5 wins out of 5, a great manager, great squad and great fans. We should win it
Dear Ukraine. Thanks for co-hosting this great tournament. I'm afraid your performance wasn't good enough. Thanks for giving up your slot in the quarter finals for a better team->ENGLAND!!! GO ON LIONS!
Croatia and Russia. besides with capello as manager this time I think England have no problem reaching the South Africa 2010. Hope Norway could qualify as well. Best hope for both of us.
Ukraine played for an away draw... England looked tamed. Second goal was of course from offside. There should have been more cards too. At home, Ukraine should get their win.
though im not a big baseball fan, you cant tell me that it takes skill to be able to throw a ball in any corner of a 2 foot zone from 66 feet away and avoid the person trying to hit it.
Well if you check the FIFA rankings which will release tomorrow, we are 15th and above every single team outside of Europe and South America and above most European sides and all but Argentina and Brazil in South America. So, there!
Second, the Gold Cup is equivalent to your "Euro" so while your team is historically better overall we can at least say we dominate an entire continet...which is a big improvement since Mexico used to be the best in North America. And we could easily take any African, Asian, or Oceanic team right now. If our best athletes played 'football' instead of basketball american football baseball etc. we would easily be a top five country. Unfortunately, it is a sport played by our lower tier athletes.
dude i am from america and the competion we play is not even close to the type of competion the teams england play like italy,france,ireland,spain. Which are all the best teams in the world.Last time i checked there has never been a team from north america that has won the world cup at for mens
2nd Goal was clearly onside replays proved that. Yeah im an England fan but what Barry did in the penalty box was awfull and should have been a penalty. But England was the better team and deserved to win.
Well we can talk about this game till the cos come home but here are the facts: 1.Ukraine should have had a penalty 2. It was an atrociuos tackle on Aliev by Rooney 3. We (Ukraine) didnt play our full strength side 4. We beat you 2-0 anyway in the 2009 U19 final haha (sorry had to mention that :)
The word "Soccer" was actually created by the English, which is the only english speaking country that is irritated by the word ironically. Aussies Kiwis Canadians and Americans don't mind calling it that, and we outnumber you. It is only because there is Rugby football, Australian Rules Football, Celtic Football, American Football etc. but there is only one "soccer". I always call it football when addressing an Englishman but call it Soccer when speaking to a Aussie Kiwi Canadian or American.
im from latin amerik but im a huge fan of sheva but i dont know if ukraine is going to be in the world cup can someone tell me if that is still possible?
Well we will definitely win our group, but im positive about winning the WC. Nah Italy wont be there. Its Gonna be France I think. In the final I mean.
england were much better than ukraine, we were practically all over them. We were alsways going to win the match if it wasn't for their fortunate goal (only there second shot on target). And i'm not joking.
@zander469 Actually here are the facts: 1. England will be playing in the 2010 World Cup 2. Ukraine will not Oh, and England were not playing thier full strength side either, And you were lucky to even get that one goal. Should have been 2-0.
I seriously doubt you could take any African team, dont you remember getting beaten by Ghana in the last World Cup. Has your national team really improved that much in three years? Its an honest question I havnt seen the USA 'soccer' team play since then.
The world cup is just around the corner which can only mean one thing: Here comes the barrage from the English fans: "yeah, we're are win gonna the world cup!" ; "we're the favourites", "we're one of the top teams in the world", etc, etc... The same shit every four years. And what ends up happening? The same shit every four years, ha ha... Really, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between arrogance/cockyness and self-deluded stupidity.
That is so stupid. Have you ever been there or speak the language? I am part italian, welsh, irish, and I also speak Spanish, so does that mean I should support Italy Wales Ireland and Spain? I support USA because I am an American, we won 4 CONCACAF Gold Cups on a continent twice the size of Europe, and havent lost a match in six months. We would tear up Ukraine and I think we can even beat England, who won ZERO Euros on their continent.
and your point is? Clarify. Olympic competition is worthless because only the countries with the most financial resources to train their athletes win the most medals, like china and the USA. It does not mean that they are the most skilled or the most athletic people. Put china against Ghana on the soccer field and china will get destroyed. Money does not matter in soccer, only skill. If money mattered, then china and the USA would be winning the world cup every time.
With Lippi, i think England will go as far as qualifying than getting knocked out by the likes of Italy and Spain, they're an overrated team who can only manage wins against small opposition, does anyone remember Englands performance in the euros, oh yeah they weren't in the euros.
U take fifa rankings seriously? Common son, have you not learnt anything from the previous world cup? USA was fifth going into the competition, and they got beat by Ghana. Never take those rankings seriously. Besides USA only move up the rankings because of they win against weak concacaf opposition.
Yet another mediocre game from Stevie "The Best Player in the World" Gerrard. A quote from the Football365 website rating the players "Steven Gerrard Quiet. When England needed to press on and get an extra goal after half-time, Gerrard went missing far too often. In the early stages he and Rooney interchanged with the same enthusiasm, skill and threat as against Slovakia, but that faded as the game went on, and Gerrard became an even more peripheral figure. Frustrating. Rating: Six" Nuff said!
Any African team? U must be joking! African players a supreme athletes, and they still do not win the world cup. Your logic if flawed. Soccer is skill and technique which the USA will never have have no mater how "athletic" USA players are. Most American sport focus on power and athleticism not skill and technique. To gain technique, soccer needs be ingrained in your culture.
Oh you british guys. you were playin so bad i guess you wont take it, like you didnt take it to the Europe Championships. But nothin you should cry of.

england rules! hope u will win WC 2010
supporter from lithuania.
Croatia and Russia. besides with capello as manager this time I think England have no problem reaching the South Africa 2010.
Hope Norway could qualify as well. Best hope for both of us.
go on england and Rooney was outstanding
he got the ball. Sure the tackle may have been reckless, but he got the ball meaning you can't send him off for that.
he's a volley master
2nd goal is offside, but they would never call that at Wembley. Ukraine also should have had a penalty. 2-2 would be a fair score in my opinion.
Ukraine played for an away draw...
England looked tamed. Second goal was of course from offside. There should have been more cards too.
At home, Ukraine should get their win.
You mean minimum!
Beckham is one of world best player to watch... He is a great specialist!
though im not a big baseball fan, you cant tell me that it takes skill to be able to throw a ball in any corner of a 2 foot zone from 66 feet away and avoid the person trying to hit it.
Just would have been a draw, given that played Uembli, as well as the fact that the British scored the second goal from outside the game.
Well if you check the FIFA rankings which will release tomorrow, we are 15th and above every single team outside of Europe and South America and above most European sides and all but Argentina and Brazil in South America. So, there!
c'mon man why has everyone forgotten abt beckham? for the past few games, the match winner goal always comes from a beckham set piece!
I agree you should have had a penalty, but Terry wasn't offside, the guy who was challenging for the ball with Gerrard was playing him on.
Yeah and i don't like it when people critisize Serie a constantly because there jealous of Italy's accomplishmants.
respect

Go Terry Go Chelsea Go England!!!!!!
England please win against Ukraine Saturday....i nee you guys to atleast tie so my Croatia can qualify

Sad that you have to Google search all these words.
enigma mate i think u need to get ur eyes sorted it was offside according to ur analysis

GO! Ukraine! :D :D :D
probably a nickname they have for him in germany, maybe they think he looks like a fox for some reason
5. England may have had more possession but they didnt have that many chances.
try jumping with your hands right beside your hips and lets see how well you do
Yeah Crouchy..... Pull out the rope, pull out the rope.
Wheres the Mention of Barry? Anyways yeah I agree with bigdaddy12inch,
I'm part Italain so i support the Italian national team, anything wrong with that?
peter 'the fox' crouch hahaha
Well we will definitely win our group, but im positive about winning the WC. Nah Italy wont be there. Its Gonna be France I think. In the final I mean.
@zander469 yea bro!!! Ukraine = win
Ukraine 1-0 England FIFA World Cup qualifying!! :D
Nazarenko kick ass goal
Terry's goal is in offside
does everyone not think every single goal crouch scores is like that ? :L
Forza sheva!!!
word
hes not offside, very close either way to be honest anyway
LOL crouch pulled out the rope
england were much better than ukraine, we were practically all over them. We were alsways going to win the match if it wasn't for their fortunate goal (only there second shot on target). And i'm not joking.
@zander469 Actually here are the facts:
1. England will be playing in the 2010 World Cup
2. Ukraine will not
Oh, and England were not playing thier full strength side either, And you were lucky to even get that one goal. Should have been 2-0.
Englandddd isnt even trying its a disgrace
2:52 offside
Terry offside for last goal...
offside... didn't need to call that right on the line...good job by the ref too bad the goals were shit

say what you want, 2012 euro Ukraine ELIMINATED by ENGLAND :)
terry was offside

Not according to David Pleatt.
