WC Round of 16: England vs Ecuador [P+R]

El Diablo Rojo

Starting XI
Guys, c'mon let's end the off-topic now.(:/)

I say this should be an interesting match regardless being tough or England wiping the floor with Ecuador, i'm looking foward this one. Also it will be a good chance for Ecuador to show themselves to the rest of the world. I say England will win 1-0.:jambo:

If Gerrard, Cole and Lampard are 100% england can end the match in 15 minutes like Germany did with Sweden.

But i would like a 120 minutes match.

What are the bets saying..? Who is the favourite in this game..? :) :)

Is Beckham going to the bench...?
 

Luis Ah-Hoy

Senior Squad
I would like to see more of Lennon and Walcott... i think the kids have a point to prove in this competition...

I hope England scores 3 goals in the first 20 minutes, then Sven can give both players more playtime...

and give Rooney and some other key players a rest... they'll need it, for Portugal! :p

Ok, juss kiddin'... :(

I think England are facing the weakest team in the round of 16, I can't imagine they may leave so early.!
hmm,let me predict a score..how about 3-1..
lampard,beckham & rooney

England to win 2-1.

looks like it's gonna be a hot and physical match.
and Becks won't be dropped.


As usual the presspack attack the captain (from hero to zero to hero to zero) - afterall it sells their rubbish papers.

And don't get me even started on most pundits... they change opionion how the wind just goes...

Carragher is a good centerback but he sucks at fullback because he does seldom if any overlaps, therefore slowing the game down, because he either passes backwards or sideways. Not sure if Hargreaves is Fullback solution there either and neither is Becks.

Anyway I hope Gaz comes back soon, because England needs him.


a personal summ up of the England Players so far at the World Cup:

Robinson - looks shaky, unlike during the last 2 years, but it's the whole defence.
G.Neville - looked off color in the 1st game, now we know why, no better RB around, his link up with Becks and Crossing are missed a lot, as his leadership to steer the defense.
Terry - like Robinson looks shaky sometimes, but thankfully aswell the "terry" attitude and the goalline clearance.
Ferdinand - sometimes aswell shaky, should stop always playing that long balls upront.
A.Cole - definetly not yet 100% but is close on being so and playing like that

Beckham - like the whole midfield not clicking together, 2 Assists + won the header (despite being a average header at best) who fell down for J.Cole to cross and Gerrard to score but of corse gets overlooked. Him and Carrager at fault for the Sweden goals.
Gerrard - chained by Lamps, but imo the best England player so far at the World Cup, still had his off moments aswell.
Lampard - looks off color, + poor finishing and hampers Gerrards play.
J.Cole - too overdribbling in the first 2 games, scored a cracker, running a lot, good world cup so far.

Owen - looked horrible before he got injuried
Crouch - poor, got many chances, converted only 1 and that by fouling the opponent.
Rooney - better every minutes, hopefully aswell fitness wise.

Hargreaves - top performance vs Sweden in the 1st half
Lennon - Thumbs Up for this lad for the minutes he was given he did well.
Campbell - shalky, sadly seems no longer to be a rocksolid defender but a struggling giant.
Carragher - defensivley ok, poor going forward or passing.
Downing - did ok when played, did his only thing he's good at, run down the flank and try to cross

Joe Cole has been by far our best player, completely outshining the likes of Gerrard, Lamps etc.

I wouldn't say that. Yes, he's done well but Gerrard and Lampard are World Class players and could change any game in a second. One through pass could split the defence in half, one long ball could set Rooney on his way and one thunder shot could put us 1-0 up. You can never underestimate the likes of Lampard and Gerrard.

The game will be played in tempertures of 35°C (95F) in the shade. It's probaby not going to be a high-paced game.

Granted this Ecuador side shut out Poland and Costa Rica but...it was Poland and Costa Rica. Neither team ever really looked like a side that could seriously contend in the round of 16. Don't forget, this Ecuador team won one time in nine tries outside of their home country in qualifying. I don't give them much of a chance. I'll file them under the "We're just happy we made it this far" category. England has a lot more to play for. Rooney breaks out to put a couple home and England romps 3-0.

HAHAHAHA!!!! England's worst nightmare. And probably the wet dream of the Ecuadoreans who train like 10000 feet above sea level on the Equator, so you know their stamina is amazing.

This can give a lot of advantage to the south americans style of play. And those temperatures are very rare in England, and no so uncommon on Ecuador, specially during summer.

I have a bad feeling about this...and I'm predicting a victory for Equador...

1-2

Lampard
Delgado x2

It would be embarrassing if England loses agaisnt Ecuador.

Even with the high temperatures and other factors, I don't see England losing this.

I'm not doubting Lampard and Gerrard's abiliy at all but i'm just saying that Joe Cole has outshone both of them with his immense performances. And Lampard and Gerrard by their own high standards haven't been as spectacular as expected SO FAR.

I hear it's a 4-5-1 for England today, so hopefully Gerrard will be unleashed. Got my Rooney jersey on, it's really starting to smell because I haven't washed it all World Cup.

Was that Terry belting out the National Anthem? Never knew he loved the queen so much.

And it's Carrick, not Hargreaves!! An England dream!!

EDIT: Hahaha! Didn't notice Hargreaves was starting at right back. Sorry. (H)
