Group D: England vs Ukraine discussion

England vs Ukraine discussion.

Could be an insane game, Ukraine playing in front of their own crowd, needing a win to progress. Can't wait!!

The thing that worries me the most about this game is the home advantage for Ukraine; the fact that they'll qualify with a win and will have three-quarters of the Donbass Arena behind them.

Other than that, though, there isn't a lot in their team that genuinely worries me and if we cut off the supply to Shevchenko we will have nullified a large part of their attacking threat. Their defence is shaky and we can exploit that if we play the right players.

I'm reasonably confident of a win but I think we'll have to quieten the crowd first to do it.

Yeh and with Sweden already out they won't be trying leaving France with an easy game and probably an easy 3 points. Most likely 1 place between England and Ukraine for qualification.
England only need a draw to go through so I won't be surprised if Roy sets the team up with a defensive approach. Ukraine are not much of a threat.
Rooney is back which is a big plus.

Go Ukraine go go , beat England
anyone knows if Shevchenko playing or not?

any ways i want a Ukraine win and sweden win in other match so

Ukraine
France/England
France/England
Sweden

sheva is currently injured...fml
although he can drop deep or play on wing to help build up plays, i'd prefer someone supply him the ball.

lol, England needa draw..

it would be like the french game

They won't play it like they did the French game though. Expect England to retain possession, and attack. Their strength will come from pushing the ball up the field.

Carroll-Rooney up front please

rooney-welbeck please

Rooney-Chicharito please

Defoe-Crouch please

what about heskey?

but itd be interesting if england go with the manutd dual or keep carroll and drop rooney deeper

heskey-crouch = the best striker partinership ever

Ukraine to win 1-0, scoring the goal on a set play.

England to whine about the foul giving the free kick for the next two years.

rooney-welbeck confirmed

man united the pride of england

Expecting a homer referee....
