The security is large over here the police weren'yt even allowed to let us fans be in the sights of the english team... 5 police cars barracaded the hotel and 5 security gurads were there as well with guns and the place was crowded with police and media...
The team bus was escorted by 3 police cars!?! I think that Finland has a good chance against england.. it's hard for me cause I'm half-british as I'm born in London and I have to cheer against them.. =( I also have an english passport and lived near kings road for 9 yrs... I heard on Capital FM that Martin Keown is gonna be the captain! =(
I lost my tickets to the match so I have to try and get some seats that were given away!!
Good luck England.. Finland was poor against Greece as we had two clear breakaways and the goalie for Finland Antti Niemi (Hearts) said that he was diappointed with the draw and we quite frankly could of walken away with the win... =(
The punters have placed us as being third in the group ahead of minnows Albania and Greece.
Our target is to finish second in the group ahead of either England and Germany so this game is crucial !!!
AUF WEIDER SEN AND GOOD BYE !

are you sure?Doyou know Greece?Im sorry but youre team is bvery,very very slow.Jari Litmanen????How old is he ?80?

Greece is an ok team... but they only have "regular" players such as Nicos Machlas of Ajax and so forth... our junior players start for Ajax.. ex. Petri Pasanen
I hope I spelled that name correct

Hi Jari Pal

Good luck to Finland too may the best team win friend. I have the feeling it will be a draw cause england have a poor team on field for the game with a 4-3-3 formation and have got Michael owen on the bench do you believe it, Robbie fowler got sent home too for sheringham to start thats just pathetic don't you think? I know for a fact that Hyypia will be happy cause he said on the Liverpool site today that he would be very happy if he dosen't get to face Owen and he got his wish for most of the game at least.
I think Johanson from (charlton Athletic) will be the dangerman for finland cause he's been in terrific form what do you think? is Jari Litmanen playing? cause if he is he too will be a danger as always when he plays (I wish he would come to Liverpool cause he would solve the problem in are midfield and could play upfront too);-)

Ok talk to you later buddy.

I think that Finland (don't be surprised, Jari http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif) has a better chance of winning the game because for England it is a reabilitation period with a pretty strange squad selection. But anything can happen, becaus eEngland indeed has more star players in the team even right now (Cole, Scholes, Keown)..

I agree may the best team win tonight...
I think Emile Heskey will start tonight... I don't have tickets but I'll try and get them off the black market... heh
England has all the presuure tonight and Johansson is unstoppable if on form.. isn't he the second best scorer in the preimiership right now?

Yes Heskey is starting tonight and Johanson is 2nd top scorer in the premiership one behind Owen.


btw at half time it's....

FINLAND 0-0 ENGLAND

from half time over a year ago in Helsinki to here now.just doing some life saving surgery to this topic.I was in Croatia at the time this was posted:) :)

I remember Antti Niemi got a standing ovation from both sets of supporters in the next game just for that trip on Sheringham!!:D :D
