England team to play Ukraine: James, Neville, Cole, Terry, King, Beckham, Butt, Lampard, Gerrard, Owen, Smith.

Shevchenko and Rebrov are called up but I dont know if they will play.

3-1 England


Sheva
Smith
Owen

when is it playing...?

Ukraine will probably win from a Shevchenko brace, if he does play. But as its only a Friendly i'm not sure if I really give a toss about the result, just hope that Neville and Smith don't pick up any injuries. Sky Sports are showing it here as they do with every England game, but I don't think I can be arsed to watch it.

its showing it at 2:30pm here (which means a 730 kickoff??)

I think Sheva will play and captain for the first 45 mins.

I dont think he'll score. But if he does I can bet it'll be a beaut.

Program starts at 7:30pm here on BBC1. I reckon 2-1 too England.

Gerrard
Owen
Rebrov

I would normally go for Ukraine if it weren't for the fact SWP is likely to come off the bench and score or at the very least set something up.

So I will go for a sporting 1-1 draw.

haha nice sig

0-0

Trust me.

England have a good squad this game.
i say 3-1 to England

with Smithx2,Lampard

just hope any players don't get injured(especially man utd players)

1-1 in front of a half capacity St James' Park

It's been boycotted becuase we want Sven OUT!

3-0 to england!:)

3 - 1 England

Smith Brace

Shevchenko

Wright-Phillips

who will be the number 8 ? Butt? :rolleyes:
hope to see Butt and Smith score :D

England 2:1 Ukraine
Butt
Smith
Shevchenko

everyone thinks just because Shevchenko is the best player out of Ukraine, he'll score :o

There's this other dude called Andrei Varobey (sp?) and Sergei Rebrov who I think still hasnt lost it. Its also been a while since Sheva-Rebrov played together.. Remember how great were they at Dynamo Kiev? Those were nice memories seeing Spanish teams bow to Shevchenko (H)

England 7-7 Ukraine

SWP x7, Sheva x7








biased? :confused: :hump:

Atleast the new Fifa rule on substitutes will make for a better game and performance, but 6 substitutes can still be used. Sven said he will use 3 subs at half-time, probably Owen, Beckham and Gerrard being the early subs.

England 3-1 Ukrania

Owen
Gerrard
Smith

Shevchenko

Beckham

1-0 Beckham sliding into Terry's cross.

Beckham what?

1-0, Beckham assisted by Terry.

Ukraine are too trigger happy, every time they find a tiny bit of space on englands defensive third they rip a shot.

wtf? FSW in the states is showing this, and not FSW in Canada:f***:

from soccernet.com's matchtracker, on Beckham goal.

I spoke too soon. Pin point cross from John Terry (???) finds Beckham scoring from open play. What's going on here?

:funny:

Total domination in that first half, Should have more goals. Beckham and Gerrard had a good first half. Hopefully substitutions don't ruin the flow of the game.

beckham is playing very well... tracking bakc ALOT... i hope hes out to prove it and step it up in his (most likely) last world cup (2006)
owen could have had a beautiful goal had that defender not strangled him by the neck:kader:
gerrard doing the van basten turn:hump: :hump:

Agreed, if it weren't a friendly I'd say that "tackle" would've been a red.

Yeah thats was class.:jap:

2-0. Michael "Air" Owen with a header on a Beckham cross.


Beckham has been fantastic today.

SWP on for Butt. He takes over on the right, Beckham moves to the center.

Shevchenko is off. Ukraine are done.

Beautiful play by Beckham to set up the second goal :rockman:

Beckham losing a stone in weight and getting fitter over the summer seems to have paid off.

Great to hear that Becks is playing better (Y)

Real Madrid Players 2 - 0 Ukraine :hump:

SWP with a fantastic solo run and finish. Started on his side of the halfline.

3-0

Defoe is jealous and lets a massive shot fly. Good save by the Ukraine keeper.

Rony you'll love this

SWP gol

3-0 England :D

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! ****in moron Eriksson, should've had him in EURO (H)

and since SWP came on and Sheva went off, LETS GO ENGLAND! :mrpimp:

Yea man if england had some of this younger players that didnt make it for Euro they would have gone further.

SWP?

shaun wright phillips

Great peformance by England. Beckham man of the match, looks fitter and stronger, should play well at Madrid this season. Owen looked sharp, Gerrard looked solid as did Butt, Lampard had a very quiet game. Defoe looked threatening at times and what a goal by Phillips :hump: , Ian Wright was jumping around in the stands (SWP dad).

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

:rockman: :rockman: :rockman:

thats absolutely wrong... they dont have experience, and big deal if they score against some crappy defenders from ukraine in a FRIENDLY

but i have to say it was a nice goal

Played quiet well, shame dyer didn't get into it much, SWP goal was awesome (H) Defoe n johnson looked good too :mrpimp:

tbh, i thought johnsonn was the worst player on thepitch followed by a close carragher (frmo england) - dyer didnt look close to 100%

Dyer and carragher were invisible.

Johnson looked decent.

If Ukraine could just play consistent football for 90 minutes they could be good. Today, it was only 25 minutes. Some nice combinations, but it wasnt enough.

I just want to see this country in a World Cup.

So your telling me Defoe shouldnt have been in Euro over Heskey and Vassel???:rolleyes:

vassell at the time was a great, quick forward, and he still is... you have to take heskey because hes the only big striker. maybe for the world cup defoe over vassell but certainly not over alan smith

Wright-Phillips is da sh!t (H)

SWP is god :|

Am I glad he signed for FOUR MORE YEARS :rockman:

haha did anyone see them show ian wright's reaction?? hahaha that was really funny

A lotta people sayin it's only Ukraine, but hey you can only play the team that's in front of you. You cant do no more than win at the end of the day.

At the end of the game the right side was good, but they were subs against tiring left sided players, what dya expect? But yea it wasnt bad.

Dyer will probs go 2 Spurs or sumit lol

I am watching the match right now, it's almost over.

Beckham has really impressed me.

He is definately Man of the match

He played very well defensively and offensively.

running a lot more, he looks much fitter.

theres no actual video of the goal its only interviews

Well I just watched the goals.

it must be cuz im in america... instead of what ur pointing at its a sven interview

Was an ok match, boring at times, ok at times. Nice goal by Shaun Wright-Phillips though.

BTW I know he is adopted, but does he have 2 fathers? Mr. Wright and Mr. Phillips?

you mean two biological fathers? :\

his real last name was phillips, and ian wright put in "wright" for the name, making it wright-phillips

at leasts that how i know it is

Not surprised by the crowds reaction to Dyer.

Deserves him right for being such a big baby.

Beckham played a blinder.

Just watched a replay on ESPN.

ESPN has so much footy for this season:

La Liga
Serie A
Dutch League
Scottish Premier League
World cup Qualifiers!!!!!!!!!!
UEFA Champs League.
UEFA Super Cup.
MLS
