v dodgy first 15mins but now 1-0

Will it be a piece of cake from now on and if so what type of cake? Battenburg?

[joggerjayne]

Jamaica ginger cake.

As in ...

"My wife's watching England play that foreign team."

"Jamaica?"

"No, she wanted to watch it."

ha ha !

I don't suppose it's actually Jamaica, is it ?

[cazzz1975]

they are lucky its 1-0, england as usual are playing like broccoli, matter of time before mexico score at this rate..

[joggerjayne]

Aah ... it's Mexico.

[bibblebub]

if only Mexico would get a shot or two on goal to give the keeper a bit of a run out

[bibblebub]

that'll do for one

[cazzz1975]

england are poor, mexico are walking all over them, they must be trying to tire them out... there must be some reason for englands muted play

[paddywak]

mexico aren't walking that well they're 2-0 down now

[NoMercy]

I went to Mexico once... they're a nation of Chihuahuas.

They must think Crouch stepped right of the pages of a Roald Dhal story book.

[cazzz1975]

yeah, england are playing defensively then going on the break, it can work well but its not always good to watch

[bibblebub]

it's more exciting to watch when England's defence is crap because you can't take anything for granted

[Stephen_G]

Peter Crouch is more B.D.C. (Big, Dozy... you can finish the rest of that off yourselves) than B.F.G. NoM.

[bibblebub]

oo er 2-1

[supersuezy24]

Whats wrong with Steven Gerards head?

[cazzz1975]

they have only done what they have been threatening for the whole match, england were just not closing them down, heres hoping a bit of a rollocking at HT will get them working together, he may be playing joe hart as well

[cazzz1975]

clash of heads with another player

[TTG]

ht 2-1...all to play for. Mexico are a good side and if it wasn't for Green we could even be losing.

[Booldawg]

Mexico are a fantastic team to play a pre-WC friendly against; pacy, passionate and inventive. I'd sooner see us play someone like this to give Fabio a chance to see our weaknesses than a team we'd be all over like a rash.

Theres no such thing as a friendly in terms of winning and its been an interesting first half. Looking forward to see what Fabio brings in changes of players and tactics in the second half.

[bibblebub]

absolutely, if the manager wants to see what some players are like at this level then you need decent opposition

[Booldawg]

with TTG; Green hasnt put a foot (or hand) wrong and hope he has a good second half to put him at Englands no1. TBH James is more focused now than he's ever been and the competition is really on for who to stand between the sticks for us.

super goal
