I haven't seen it yet. That said, I'm a keeper & was picking out my kit earlier this year, and was searching for ideas.

I don't think there's any kit worse than Everton's Howard. American wearing camo. How novel Tim.

Perhaps watch a game at a good pub, with a friend that knows the game well? He'll explain how the game develops?

Or it just doesn't work at all, like me & my dad.

they should be able to beat Sweden

but ya, depending on this game

4 points could be enough, 5 would definitely be

my guess is Carroll starts vs Sweden

That would be my guess too. Carroll would be well suited for a match against the Swedes and could cause them trouble.

I'll take a draw against the French too. Pretty it wasn't but then it never was going to be.

[cam_wmh]

Walcott for Milner too.

[d_phaneuf]

Ya, I understood Milner today because of needing to contain Ribery, but no need vs Sweden

Carroll up top with Young behind

Soccer is a game where nothing ever happens.

The halftime whistle woke me up.

[Locke]

Zlats!

[Locke]

1-1 now.

[Notorious Honey Badger]

this has been the most difficult day ever of avoiding TSN, facebook, and this thread so the results haven't been spoiled. 90 mins to go and i can go home and catch up. UGH!! I hope Ukraine played well and maybe drew out Sweden. Who knows maybe ill be stunned and can see a Ukrainian win.

[d_phaneuf]

unbelievable scenes!

[Cheerio]

Wow Shevchenko with his 2nd 2-1 Ukraine

[The Big Chill]

Where was the guy who was supposed to be on the front post? Crazy stuff, very exciting game now.

[SuperMatt18]

Shevchenko showing why at one point and time he was probably the best striker in the world. That second header was a thing of beauty (although the defender leaving his post gifted it to him).

Crazy to think that it was a huge possibility that he was going to start on the bench.

[Locke]

The second half of this match has been lightyears better than the first.

[d_phaneuf]

its like a different game

[The Big Chill]

Wow, what a great half of football that was. The Swedes have put themselves in a really tough position now.

[Locke]

Losing that first game puts them in real trouble.

[GirlySports]

Headers!
